  Blood is healthy

  https://www.newscientist.com/article/2112829-blood-from-human-teens-rejuvenates-body-and-brains-of-old-mice/.

  the key to youth appears to be in the blood plasma – the liquid part of blood.

  several studies have found that injecting plasma from young mice into old mice can help rejuvenate the brain and other organs, including the liver, heart, and muscle.. blood has the power to turn back time.

  we hope that the blood we have to have in an emergency is healthy, but in the whole, is it wholesome? vampire, bat-shitty or otherwise digest blood. that is a crappy affair. black stool , but not a vampire,? see a doctor, you digesting your own, seeping blood. good health to you too.

  That One Defining Moment That Changed Your Life.

  by new boy in

  it seems that many times in life there is a moment or an action that changes your whole world.

  it could be just a look that someone gives you.. many times it can be something rather small.

  something hardly noticeable by anyone but you.

  I arrived home after a day of service, and on our bed was a brown mail wrapper. special delivery, bethel style, the latest wt mag, per subscription. rapt attention to Question from reader, and: " Superior Authorities not J&j, but the governments ". I never felt so deflated. We just had come that afternoon from a bible study in the brown, -s-coloured " Let god be true-- man a liar 'book, that had driven home the unique wt doctrine, that only J&j are superior, -governments are nothing. We were made fools of, despite a brilliant and desperate defense of an untenable position. snap.

  WT will never make fools of us again.

  when 1975 was in their next book, we build our first house, still in the family as a monument to wt errors, that cause so much harm.

  I like the lights,-- but there is limit--an article in the Guardian, how the Santa Claus lies are harmful to Children, so, I am thinking, wt threats of Armageddon are so successful, because it is just another version of

  " better be good,-- for Santa Claus is coming to town--"

  Matthew 24 - "This Generation": If you are a Jehovahs Witness that dares to study the Bible itself...

  rather than just rely on the watchtower's latest opinions... are you ready?.

  1) please read this article:.

  2) if you are offended by the article's title, read this page for an explanation of what the phrase means, then go back and read it:.

  Official Increase in the Number of Jehovah's Witnesses You Shouldn't Trust

  by David_Jay in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  reports are coming from witnesses that, once again, the number of memorial partakers has risen considerably this past year, 2016. while confirmation is still to come on the exact numbers, the current explanations given for this increase surely causes a dilemma.. imagine the roman catholic church publishing each year the number of members who it felt were mistaken about what they believed in, that this same number of members was likely suffering from problems such as pride or even mental disorders or something along this line.

  this number, by the way, was in the thousands too and growing annually.

  what would you conclude, therefore about the catholic church and its admission?.

  Continuing to Concentrate on the possible fixes for the increasing partaker paradox of wt: how about the potential new light that the number 144k refers only to those still on earth? the remnant must at any given time never exceed 144000, but the heavenly total is astronomical,? if not comical?

  How come? I heard it once summarized: You have to act as an elder. appointment is then only a formality. Once appointed though, the disappointment sets in, as you realize how much wt formality takes over your good intentions. The dilemma? how to deal with all the personal problems that a female mind and heart is so much better equipped to understand and handle.

  Many partakers are acting on a mistaken belief about the mistaken wt belief system. but even then -1 x -1 does not = +1. The increase in numbers reflects the increase in mistakers that is bound to happen with time, and their unscriptural practice to invite the world at large.

  Take the story of the coveted positions to the left and right of Jesus, 2 out of 12, making the non-sealed hopeful partakers the symbolic "10", all the earthly ones.

  David Jay, here is the alternate fix based on the above:

  The 1444k is literal, but represents only 2 out of 12 of the "anointed". There are 6 times more possible wt partakers than there are real ones, those that "go everywhere the lamb goes" ( the ones elbowing Jesus). You could have 864 000 partakers before you run out of anointed places. now, about that snake--.

  ps: let the 2 ladies have their say, finally, who says ladies have no say in wt land.

  p.s. 2: Even in the original last supper, aka memorial, there had to be two favoured, close position to jesus, and may be one across the table, furthest away, for Judas, the one dipping at the same time. 144k, a subgroup of many anointed.

  Timi1972: How about this one. By looking at this scripture we can evidently conclude that the great crowd are the increasing number of "anointed" ones.

  Close, but not quite right. instead:

  The members of the great crowd are the 12 tribes that the 144 000 come out of. The real sealed ones (only known to the sealing angels) are a rarer species than the garden variety partakers. to prove:

  Take the story of the coveted positions to the left and right of Jesus, 2 out of 12, making the non-sealed hopeful partakers the symbolic "10", all the earthly ones.

  You dont want to be a ruler with Christ anyway, if the axe awaits your neck. Rev.20. Perhaps only ~200 witnesses were thus executed (guillotined) since 1914, they are the only ones to meet that stricter criterium. Here is the fix:

  The wt partakers, including the GB* are not the anointed overlapping generation, but are the survivors of Armageddon instead. they must be survivors, to not pass away before the end. They, with all believers, are "Spiritual Israelites", aka the 12 tribes, the great crowd members. who all should partake. 144k? Only the angels know,, and they are not telling (yet). The fix:

  Let all partake, bring on the wine. 144k is literal but a "sacred secret". sacred and scary.

  * their expertise and their staff's is need to jump start the paradise. now, if only there really was a talking snake, walking on water--

  p.s. The overall number are not surprising, it is wt's interpretation of them, over ~100 years that is wrong, as usual.

  pun: Ever since the number has been growing then it's significance is nil.

  The significance was always null, and void. because this is based based on the idea that only a few should partake, have forgiveness of sin, everlasting life, be "anointed. The text in Rev 7 speaks of being "sealed" out of all those that should be partakers. and

  Yes, nuts, --- the bible, according to wt, is only written for the anointed, so if they seriously believe in talking snakes, walking on water, graves opening and dead walking into jerusalem, and keeping millions in that frame of mind, how can they not be nuts at some level, having a void?
