Great to read, this is a great idea Simon! But may I say COME OOOONNNN, for the question "how many generations of jw's" can someone please answer "one, incredibly confusing, overlapping generation?"

Is disagreeing with the GB rebelling against God?
by kneehighmiah inthe other day an elder mentioned that not following the gb direction is the same as rebelling against god.
this in harmony with the ominous tone set forth in the respect jehovah's authority video.
in this thread i'll point out several gaping holes in that argument as time allows.. 1. the gb/fds does not speak "mouth to mouth" with god as did moses.. jehovah condemned and punished mariam for speaking against moses.

If there is a god then I believe he must have some sort of after party planned. If not then tough. Either way, if people are important to us NOW, show them that NOW. Sorry for your loss ms.Wild.

I told the elders that I would take blood and donate blood
by Daniel1555 ini found it important to be honest with my wife.
so i told her about my conscience decision that in a medical urgency i want blodless medicine but if a transfusion of blood or the 4 prohibited components is necessary to save my life or health i would accept it.
this would apply especially also for our child (that is not such a problem as in our country the wts recommends to comply with doctors as they have the right to decide concerning minors).. i showed her the reasons why i came to that conscience decision (biblical and logical reasons) and that jehovah and jesus do not like anyone to die because of this wrong bible application.. .

Another problem for JW apologists
by Jeffro inthe 2013 edition of the new world translation renders 2 kings 17:1 as:.
in the 12th year of king ahaz of judah, hoshea the son of elah became king over israel in samaria; he ruled for nine years.. this is in fact a better rendering than the previous nwt, which stated:.
in the twelfth year of ahaz the king of judah, hoshea the son of elah became king in samaria over israel for nine years.. despite their improved rendering, the watch tower society still claims that hoshea's reign 'really' began in 758 bce, but that it was 'established' in the 12th year of ahaz.
