if it is possible can you post why you were disfellowshipped?
AMarie:
I'm here because I'm in love with you.
Dave:
I see you do have a sense of humor. Good post. The reason I don't answer your question is because you will not even consider my answer.
Outlaw: I actually enjoy your posts, they're so funny. If I leave Jehovah, am I going to be like you? I pray to God it never happens.
q 1: where does the bible say god's name is jehovah?
in all probability, the bible that you have does not have the name jehovah in it, anywhere.
we too have a fraternity, a brotherhood, gods family is what we are, and if anyone dishonors the congregation by conduct unbecoming a minister of god, shunning, or disfellowshipping as we call it, is gods means to deal with such ones.. q 7: how can a person isolate themselves if you chose to knock on peoples doors outside your religion?
AlanF:
Fair enough. I will email you later so you can send me your phone number. Thanks.

Will Power: No that's not it. In the Proclaimers book it goes over the Witness history and how they were chosen by Jehovah in 1919.
AlanF:
I don't mean to argue with you. I would really like to speak with the brother, researcher in bethel, that told you what you allege. What is the difference between calling you and getting the name of the brother and you emailing me the information? Unfortunately I am at work at this time and I cannot make long distance calls without logging in the call as a business call. Email is just easier for me. Please provide the information and that way I can prove to myself that what you say it true.

AlanF: To know if Witnesses are chosen by Jehovah to be his people, please read the "Proclaimers" book. Oh wait, you previsouly said that you have someone on the inside, a researcher, that told you that many things had been purposely left out. How convenient for you! You are so foolish dude, you can't even provide me with the name of that brother. What's wrong with me talking to him? Oh that's right is hard talking to someone in your imagination.
ask them a hard question!.
amazing how the chorus of jw defenders has vanished - as if one man - despite the promise from yoyomama to answer my question if i answered hers.

ok, ok if you insist, even though you did not answer my question correctly.
From where does the GB get the authority to tell JWs which blood parts they can accept and which they cannot?
They have the authority given to them by Jesus. Jesus is the head of the Christian Congregation.
How do they know so surely, e.g., that intact red cells are off-limits but hemoglobin extracts - essentially red cells without the cell walls - are ok.
It really is just common sense. The Bible says "abstain from blood". It doesn't say in that scripture "do not eat" or "no transfussion". Of course not, it was a general statement. Abstain is understood to also include transussions. That is simple, no blood transfussions. Then scientists started seperating components of blood, well now the GB had to address that issue. So basically, Witnesses will not accept the 4 major blood components. After that, well the GB stays out of it.
So, can any JW explain how the GB is able to decide these life and death matters if (a) such things cannot be found in scripture and (b) the GB is only inspired in the sense that the Bible was inspired and so they base their beliefs only on the Bible?
The GB decides this matters based on scriptures and the authority layed on them by those scriptures.

Interesting post.
Lets see, do I trust disfellowshipped people that attack and insult just because I don't give into their way of thinking
or...
do I trust my loving brothers and sisters that I have grown up around and have tought me Bible truths and have helped me have a relationship with my creater?

Adonai: What email? I don't recall.
Abaddon:
The UN thing is no-ssue.
By Evolution, do you mean the theory of evolution? What does theory mean?
607BC - That's an easy one. It's basically Bible vs. Babylonian Historians. I pick Bible.
What else?
Dave: You can get off you high-horse now.

To Everyone:
I am a sort of psychiatrist and most of my questions help me understand what makes you tick. I really don't mean to offend anyone. To tell you the truth, every day that I read posts in this forum it strengthens my faith in Jehovah and his Organization.

shecky2: You are right.
much evidence has been provided to demonstrate that the wts is a false prophet even though jws will say anything to deny this unpleasant fact.
generally they act and teach explicitly that the gb speaks for god - that it is is god's sole channel of communication - but also claim that the gb is not inspired.
that is a distinction without a difference.. this has caused you know to be on the lookout for jw teachings "channeled" to him by the slave but which are without a bible basis.
siegswife: wrong, at the time that decision was taken, the elders in Jerusalem were not inspired, if they were inspired it wouldn't have been necessary to deliberate on the issue. The point is they had the authority give to them by Jehovah to make a decition after a careful study of the scriptures.
