Isn't dying as a result of refusing blood the same as suicide? Even more so since you cannot use an excuse like depression, mental disorder etc. which is more often the case with a suicide??

A "possible suicide" results in no JW support
by donny ina co-worker of mine whose, wife and daughters are jehovahs witnesses, told me about situation that his oldest daughter finds abhorrent.
he said that a close friend of his daughter was found dead in a car the other day.
she was in her early 30's and had been a lifelong jw.

by IWillBeDubbedNoMore inthe definition of an apostate is one who has abandoned his religious faith.
i was baptized in 1974. the religion i joined believed that jesus selected the bible students in 1919 to do a separating work.

Imaginary friends are ok, as long as they don't wear a red suit, hop around, or collect teeth under pillows.

IWBD: great thread. I can totally see this topic being brought up in casual conversation.
Thanks to Reniaa we have the typical JW contribution
and Farkel coming in with a brilliant close.

Christian T.V show....man claims after car accident Jesus talked to him! Are they on drugs or lying?
by Witness 007 inthis guy had a serious accident and had limbs amputed but when interviewed claims very logically that while waiting for help jesus appeared and told him..."jim, everything will be okay, it's not your time...i need you to be a missionary for me..." this guy talks about it like it's nothing!
are these people for real or just lying.....i agree with marx who said "religion is the opium of the people.

Would a definite article prove that Jesus is God?
by solafide infrom what i've studied of jw's, john 1:1 is interpreted as "and the logos was (a) god".
therefore, because there is no definite article in john 1:1 for example, one supposedly cannot confirm that jesus is referred to as "the god".
so my question for the jw is "what if jesus were reffered to with a definite article in the nt"?

I'm going to jump right in with a couple of questions. Please forgive me if this has already been asked here.
Not ever being a JW, I'm at a disadvantage at understanding deep spiritual things.
QUESTION:
Can someone please explain the Christhead?
Christ: the prehuman existance, the earthly man, the resurrected spirit man, the archangel Michael, the lesser god man.The bible says false gods will perish and that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.
The son, if he in the very nature of god, the divine, has all these different personnas, for lack of a better term, how is it impossible for his father, the all mighty to not have similar or even superior qualities/capabilities ??
Thanks in advance

Neutrality- the wbts
by bobld ini would like the preface my statement:there is a religion that is totally neutral in wars,neutral in gov't, neutral in the judiciary,however that religion is not the j.w./wbts.the reason is the wbts uses the court system to fight it's battles.as an example a court case in canada about blood.they lost the case so now they must obey satan's system/gov't.they cannot now say we must obey god rather than man because they put their faith in satan's system hoping for victory which came not.another case in france,they did not want to pay what the gov't asked,so they used satan's system and lost.why put faith in satan system hoping you can get a short repreeve.how can they say they are neutral when they use satan's system.another example would be flag saluting,take it to court and lose,so now you have to salute(took god out of the picture).. how many ot examples are there that the nation of israel went to the pagan's court.why did not jesus call for angelic help when he was before the court(sanhedrin).yes the j.w./wbts have a very narrow view of neutrality.it is not only war,it is gov't,it is the judiciary as a battle ground as well.. bob.
ps:the court system has changed over the years: look at how liberal it is today,same sex marriages,gay rights,etc, so is the wbts putting faith in the court system.it will sting them in the behind..

The watchtower might not fight a physical war with guns, but they are quite proud of their theocratic war.
In the process they leave a trail of the tortured. Mental abuse, spiritual abuse, suicides, blackmail, emotional anguish..... and they are proud of it!
The smuggness JWs breathe at thought of their neighbors being destroyed because they didn't heed the WT warning about the end of the world is also not very attractive.
The bible says that even as you lust for something in your heart, - its the same as doing it!

Tis a very brave thing you are about to do - however long it takes you.
You'll need all the support you can get. Release the Bonds at the pace you are comfortable with.
You can rest here, or get a nudge when you need it. Take what you need at the time.
and most of all - educate, educate, educate
(like location is to real estate)

Sounds to me like they are anticipating a big fat juicy court case to go public or something.
Just so they can say "we told you so" and do a good sift!
get rid of all the deadwood and restart with all new coloured glasses.
