  would you give blood if there was an urgent need for it?

  and if you were the one who needed blood, would you accept it?

  Yerusalyim said,

  Put someone on a table facing immenient death or taking a blood transfusion

  I think that most witnesses would say that they wouldn't accept blood because they were never in such a position where there life was in danger. But, put them in a situation where they could die if they had no blood transfusion, then I think many would accept it as a last resort. Life is worth living, and they would say "God understands and will forgive me if I accept blood".

  "now the works of the flesh are manifest and they are... drunken bouts, revelries, and things like these... those who practise such things will not inherit god's kingdom" (galatians 5:19-21) .

  it's 6 months since i disappeared from the dub scene but the elders finally tracked me down!

  thing is i so wanna be dfd, i wanna move on with my life... but i need (for personal reasons) to leave the jws in crazy-style .

  Go have your break in the field service each morning at McDonalds and eat like a pig. And get the whole car load of brother Disfellowshipped with you by giving them each a coupon for 2 big macs for the price of one.

  If I could go back in time, I would have asked more questions before getting baptized. I would have pushed back my baptism a couple of years to find out more about the watchtower, and maybe I wouldn't have got baptized.

  Why do the witnesses hold firm to this belief of not accepting/giving blood? Did God really forbid blood transfusions? And lets say he did, why would it be so important for him?

  This is not just a question of religion, but also of health. Even some catholics would not want any blood, because they fear aids or other diseases.

  Why did you become a Witness?

  by JH in

  2. friends

  why did you become a jehovah witness ?

  was it your parents who dragged you into it, or was it a friend, or maybe just a knock on your door from a stranger?

  with all the religions out there, why did you choose that one?

  WT goofie phrases.

  i used to get into trouble for making light of the these phrases that some elders have told me are to be used only gods people.

  lol that you all may know maybe:.

  "well, brother that is very "commendable," just before the meeting ends the po says to those in attendance "brothers the time left is reduced," i once heard a co say to those seated during one of his talks "well now, we don't want to die at armageddon now do we, well of course not.

  Financial Help.

  hit my posting limit and am using my second account..... i don't know if anyone can help or not.. but i am in a desprate situation whereas i have to swallow my pride and seek out some help.. i am behind rent as well as my morgage ( i own a moble home on a lot rent).. need food as well.. phone needs to stay in service since i am deaf and need it as part my text communication for hopes of landing a better job.

  sister can email me to let me know if a employer calls, so i can drive over and find out what's up from there.. i work at wal-mart and alot of us have our hours cut to 20+ hrs a week, so this is hurting me fianacially.. job hunts is hard since i am deaf since most employers seems to prefer hiring a hearing person.. i know of a deaf friend who is unemployed and he went thru 20 job interviews in a month.

  none of them ever called or emailed him to say he got a job.. family can't help since they all have their own problems to deal with.. i can post all the info you need if anyone needs it, such as my landlord's address and my morgage address if anyone wants to mail a check directly to them.

  If you were an active dub, would they help you? When I lost my job in 1992 I thought that the brothers would give me cleaning contracts, but NO they didn't give a damn. You see your real friends when your in need.
