  Why Do Witnesses Promote A Unhealthy Lifestyle, My COBE weighs 340lbs (5ft 7in).

  by BucketShopBill in

  please don't take this the wrong way if your battling weight problems, that's not what this thread is meant to talk about.

  i am asking this question because jehovah's witnesses claim they have "the best way of life", "god's blessing", "the truth" and are trying to change the habits of healthy people by turning them in to their own makings.

  i watched people who were great athletes turn all their muscle in to fat because we would get a elder or circuit overseer make remarks they were spending too much time "working out" and "bodily training is beneficial for little".

  What's the difference between BucketShopBill's COBE and a hippopotamus?

  Answer: about 40 pounds.

  How do you get them to be the same?

  Since JWs can't have orgies or smoke crack and most normal human outlets are on the WT's "sin" list...an all-you-can-eat buffet is all they have left.

  Watchtower November 2014: Witnesses can't donate blood

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  let us read a recent watchtower publication:.

  many medical professionals and other advocates of blood transfusion appeal to people to donate blood in hopes of saving lives.

  however, jehovahs holy people acknowledge that the creator has the right to say how blood is to be treated.

  how can the governing body let Witnesses to accept blood fractions of "the four primary components" coming from donors who are not Witnesses?

  Because WT is the epitome of hypocrisy, and it has no problem teaching JWs to take from this world without ever giving back.

  Why is the world full of ATHEISTS?

  by exWTslave in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  bible describes atheism as a condition of the heart and is all about seeking what is ephemeral, not acting with insight.

  (psalm 14:1, 2) thus it rightly says the whole world is lying in the attraction of what is ephemeral.

  (wicked one is not a correct translation.1 john 5:19) thus even believers who pray to god (for material blessings) are actually atheists as they are not trying to be poor in spirit.

  DJS: I hope the world fills with atheists. Think about it - no more wars betwee X-tians and X-tians, X-tians and Muslims, Hindus and Muslims, Buddhists and Muslims, Muslims and Muslims, ad nauseum.

  I think a better question for this topic would have been:

  "Why is the world full of religious people?"

  So how does this jibe with what some reported here about this summer's DCs, where it was stated from the platform that JWs may associate with DF relatives "discreetly"?

  Is this a major WT contradiction between what's in print and what's spoken?

  I have also noticed that many elders drink like fish

  It's to numb the pain of being obese, broke and hopeless.

  Not to be picky, but muscle doesn't turn into fat. They are two distinct tissues and one cannot magically morph into another.

  NAVYTOWN: the Witnesses don't worry about their health now, because they think all will be corrected in Paradise.

  This is the core of the issue. It's the same mentality that keeps a JW from getting an education, having a career, planning for retirement, not having children, etc: The "New System" is coming anyday now, so taking care of their health is a waste of time.

  I've been health conscious since I was a young teenager- I eat very healthy, workout everyday, etc. I have always been criticized by JWs for doing this for a couple of reasons:

  1) time spent in the gym is time stolen from Jehovah™. Therefore, working out is selfish,

  2) "Paradise" is right around the corner, no need to take care of my body, god will intervene soon. I won't live long enough to have any age-related (or poor lifestyle-related) health problems.

  Well, guess what? The nearness of Armageddon, so no need to worry about it, when I began working out as a teenager was 33 years ago!

  According to JWs' application of Acts 15:29, shouldn't they also be refusing medical examinations by gynecologists?

  by Island Man in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  watchtower uses the following twisted logic to equate receiving a blood transfusion, with feeding on blood:.

  feeding is sometimes done by injecting nutrients intravenously.. blood transfusions are carried out by injecting blood intravenously.. therefore the intravenous injecting of blood can be equated with feeding intravenously.. hence, true christians refuse blood transfusions in order to obey the biblical command to "abstain from blood".. now notice how the same kind of twisted logic leads to the equating of an invasive examination by a gynecologist, with sexual intercourse:.

  sexual intercourse is often done by inserting the penis into the vagina.. certain invasive examinations by a gynecologist is done by inserting an instrument into the vagina.. therefore such invasive gynecological examinations can be equated with sexual intercourse.. hence, true christians refuse such gynecological examinations that are performed by someone to whom they're not married, in order to obey the biblical command to "abstain from fornication".. it's the same kind of twisted reasoning, isn't it?

  Is a gynecologist with large fingers considered well hung?

  WT has their hands in everything.
