  @ Vidquin: Defender, you are placing your 21st century values on people that lived thousands of years ago

  .

  By that same logic, since it was completely acceptable to commit genocide on a massive scale back then, we should have no problem with it today either. We certainly wouldn't want to be guilty of judging genocidal maniacs today...just let them be. Right?

  Who Donates Blood For Jehovah's Witnesses That Accept Blood Fragments?

  by SanLuisObispoTruthSeeker in

  2. beliefs

  the elders say "its very wrong to donate blood because you never know what the medical community is going to do with that blood.

  " i asked one of the brothers who is a consultant at one of the medical centers, "why are we allowed to take blood fragments if were not allowed to donate blood?

  " he/she refused to answer, just shook their head and walked away all red faced!

  "its very wrong to donate blood because you never know what the medical community is going to do with that blood."

  By that same logic, WT should also be telling JWs to not pay their taxes. Ever.

  .

  This is typical WT hypocrisy: They have 1,001 reasons for JWs to not contribute anything to the very system they are more than eager to take something from.

  God changed his judging standards: he who owns the most real estate wins.

  “As the seller, we wanted to make sure any buyer would continue to provide Palm Coast with the same level of economic activity as the FAA had"

  He does realize WT is not only a religion, but a religion of cheap asses, right? Religion = no tax revenue; cheap asses = not much for the local economy, either.

  .

  "Watchtower plans to use the site as a training facility in much the same manner as did the FAA"

  Is he serious? How is WT anything like the FAA?

  "It's not religious..." Wait... What???

  by dynamiterose77 in

  my friend, mike works as a massage therapist, and there is a woman at the shop that is super-jw-woman and is constantly hounding him with things.. today, he's messaging me and he tells me that she was trying to push a brochure or something on him.

  he said he'd really rather not read a religious pamphlet.. so... she says, "it's not religious... it's from god.".

  isn't that kinda what religious means?

  Ironically, under JF Rutherford, the JWs also denied being a religion.

  .

  Until that stance resulted in Jehovah's Witnesses not being able to hide under minister/clergy exemptions to get them out of military service...then suddenly JFR switched and said JWs were a religion. Like you said, BU2B, intellectually dishonest for sure.

  IC 2014 talk: "A Century of Kingdom Rule Contrasted With a Century of Satan’s Rule"

  a discussion of this talk on friday morning deserves its own thread.

  as i said elsewhere, it was a remarkable one.

  the speaker was manfred vencebi (google him - he's a bethel bigwig) and some of his remarks are real gems.

  Ironically, MEPS wouldn't even be necessary had Jehovah™ not confused the languages in the first place.

  @ Oubliette:

  In simple terms, engineering is a three-step process:

  1. Define a problem (in Jehovah's methodology, create a problem)
  2. Design a solution ( this is where Satan and his system steps in and fixes the problem Jehovah™ created)
  3. Optimize it (this is where WT claims to have done steps 1 and 2 all by itself but, in reality, did nothing)
