So, the "ancient worthies" were resurrected in 1925 and Abraham is the ruler of New York City? And Armageddon came in 1914? Good to know those things came true just as WT said they would. I never doubted for a moment.

I've just checked out that picture, it could be the injured mans own hand that is near his crotch?

So it'll be a WT lesson covering superficial kindness and masterbation? Great! I guess with fewer issues and fewer pages, WT has to cover as many topics as possible in each lesson.

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

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?

Island Man-

I did forget about Dr. Sod Omee.

I heard he left the profession...he was the butt of too many jokes. He joined the air force and is now a tailgunner.

Apog: the hurricane coming through NYC mentioned that the friends organized an effort that 'enabled them to help' each other and non-believers. It didn't say that they actually helped anyone

WT's version of "helping people", as mentioned in the article, was to preach to them. Providing food, clothing, shelter? Nada.

WT's modern take on "keep warm and well fed": go to JW.Org.

Thanks for the encouraging words, I will sleep better tonight

Get your colonoscopy from Dr. Beninya. He's the best. Dr. Ben Dover is also quite good.

I am scheduled for a colonoscopy tomorrow. I can only imagine where this analogy is going

I'll give you a clue: ANALogy.

I knew a guy who"s colonoscopy went horribly wrong. It nearly wrecked 'em

If you don't believe in God, Jesus, and everything in the Bible, you are willfully ignorant.

"i absolutely 100% believe in god, jesus christ and everything recorded in the bible.. the reason why is because of the overwhelming amount of evidence.. there is so much evidence that it has taken me years to examine what has cemented my own convictions.".

I'm sure such bullying was used centuries ago as well:

If you don't believe in God, Jesus, and everything in the Bible, the earth is flat and is the center of the universe you are willfully ignorant.

Watchtower November 2014: Witnesses can't donate blood

by opusdei1972 in

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.

They seem to be using the word Holy in this magazine numerous times, maybe they are moving away from the term 'Holy spirit'

WT's use of the word "holy" in reference to its doctrines is more closely related to full-of-holes Swiss cheese hole-ee, than 'pure and clean' holy.

Is the organisation still obsessed with attacking the R.C.church ? , in their publications ?

by smiddy in

for the 33 years i was "in" their seemed to be a constant barrage against catholicism from either the watchtower or awake mags., and hardly a peep out of them towards other individual faiths .. i havent read any of their publications for well over 20 years and was just wondering if anything has changed in this regard .. smiddy.
