Would YOU force blood on a Witness?

by stillin in

i was recently chastised here for saying that i respected my wife's steadfast loyalty to her god.

suppose you were a medical assistant and your doctor/supervisor told you to hang blood on a witness patient?

zero respect?.

I would honor the wishes of those over 18. No matter how dumb. But, under 18 and your getting blood even if I have to strap you down.

"Pst! You CAN go to an international convention even if you're poor, but don't tell everyone!"

by cedars in

the 2014/2015 international conventions have been announced, and will be held in the following cities.... melbourne, australia october 2014london, england august 2014quito, ecuador january 2015frankfurt, germany july 2014athens, greece june 2014seoul, korea september 2014mexico city, mexico november 2014harare, zimbabwe august 2014as always there is a long list of requirements for those wealthy enough to attend - including the requirement to keep your "exemplary status" right up to the day of departure or lose all your money.. there is also a curious paragraph that seems to indicate an element of subterfuge.... special rooming: confidentially, we will be asking the host branch office to poll local brothers to determine if some might be able to provide limited rooming provisions in private homes.

this information is not to be made known to the applicants in general.

however, if the elders are aware of a longtime, faithful servant, perhaps with many years of full-time service, who is not able to fully finance such a trip, he could be encouraged to apply and the secretary can check the box on the electronic jw.org application that this delegate qualifies for the special rooming provision, if available.. basically, watchtower is admitting that it is possible to attend an international convention even if you can't afford the hotel, but they don't want everyone to know because they want as many full-paying delegates as possible.. my article on this can be found on the link below.... http://jwsurvey.org/cedars-blog/watchtower-announces-new-international-conventions-while-downsizing-district-conventions-for-2014.

I think it's incredibly dumb how they try to regulate this stuff. Saying you CAN'T go unless approved. It's also incredibly stupid to think that a janitor elder would know enough about everyone's finances to decide if they could afford to go.

Most people wouldn't want to have everyone think they were struggling financially. So, some dork sees you drive car that's slightly newer than his and that you in a nice apartment and go to eat on the weekend and decides you could afford it? So silly.

All of us who read this should tell their relatives that we heard from another brother or sister that assistance is available.

Proof of Noah's Flood - Presently watching a Documentary about Europe & the Ice Age

by *lost* in

first time i ever heard anyone say there was 'proof' of noah's flood.. very interesting,.

showed a trawler, where the team dredges regularly in the north sea - for animal bones, massive land animal bones, mammoths.. he said, originally, the bones were sent for analysis, and the dr stated, they were proof of noah's flood.. the north sea area was a land mass of dry grazing lands.

and it was very similar to africa.. many bones were found in london, of lions, hippos, etc ... when they were digging out the underground.. .

AND... The reasoning that god could feed them or use miracles with the animals is not logical. Why? Well if god used a miracle then the ark itself was unneeded as a miracle could have just saved them. You don't have someone spend 40 yrs building a unseaworthy box just so you can miraculously make it not sink. Also, the bible account says god felt regret for making even the animals. Why? That's dumb. In the bibles account god says to Noah that ONLY he and his family will be saved and makes a covenant with him to this effect. So there was no preaching. God even set the dimensions of the ark. So there was no room for more people who might have changed mind. It is not logical to think that out of millions only four men were good. Well... Nothing about the flood is logical.

Cofty - Geological evidence is one I can't understand dismissing. You would be amazed how some otherwise intelligent and successful people can choose to not see the evidence. I work with a very smart man who is very successful in his career and will retire early. He believes the earth is really 6,000 years old and "that god could make it look older if he wanted to, we can't understand why god chooses to make it appear older".

What would be your reaction if the original ten commandments were found written in hieroglyphic

by Joey Jo-Jo in

according to historians, the hebrew language came at a later date and there is strong evidence to support that the original writtings of moses were destroyed and and was re-writen by ezra.. remember that the account explains that moses became part of the egyption royal family, did he learn the arts of horus and others, the same with aaron, why was aaron quick to make a golden calf?

why did the people wanted to become like gods, and why when moses found out made them drink the golden calf?.

1 when the people saw that moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around aaron and said, come, make us gods[a] who will go before us.

Millions of people in the area would have set up some types of camps and left evidence they were there. Trash pits, broken pottery, or evidence of their existence. There is no archeological evidence they existed. Try the book Unearthing the Bible.

lol... SBF saves the day. Just when the flood believers were losing he wades into the fray arguing over the unintended meanings of words.

I still fail to see why asking what proof there was or the name of the show was an attack from an evil atheist.

I fail to see how asking what name the show had or what the proof was, is evidence of a mean old atheist attack. When you create a title that says there is proof of the flood any person should expect to get those questions. To then feign ignorance regarding the controversy you create, is the height of ridiculousness.
