We cannot abstain from blood. Our bodies need it and they keep producing it. If bodies fail, a transfusion would be acceptable.

by quincemyles in

god prohibited the eating of blood.

in genesis, leviticus and deuteronomy the edict is clear: "do not eat blood !

" when the apostles said "abstain from blood," jewish christians must have contextually understood that to mean "do not eat blood.

Mark 7:18 Jesus says nothing consumed by a man can defile him. I guess Jesus is an apostate. Or their blood doctrine is shit.

Science Will Never Contradict The Bible

by Perry in

so claims nuclear physicist

Crazyguy

Science destroys the Bible in just the first chapter. The Bible says God created vegetation before the sun. Science wins because we know the earth would have been a popsicle

If I've been testy lately, here's why.

my parents are visiting for not-thanksgiving.

dad started bringing up spiritual stuff and i almost screwed up my fade.. it's so hard to have a genuine discussion about the issues in the organization when you have become an atheist.

it feels icky and disgusting to have to pretend and nod your head at such platitudes as "you just need to have faith"..."trust in jehovah"..."jehovah will correct it"..."remember ray franz?

Crazyguy

I too have noticed you being testy, was thinking of sending you a pm to stop being an ass, jk,

a big problem i have always had when talking about anything related to jw teachings, is that i get aggravated and frustrated when logical black and white concepts/scriptures are not seen/interpreted in a logical way.

it really frustrates me having to hear '' oh no this does not apply here '' in every scripture that i bring to my parents attention.

starting from when i was 16 to about 20, my frustrations would lead to these anger fits.

In the future you may have to stay on one point. That is your trying to live your life like they way Jesus taught and the fruitages of the spirit whyll your folks and their friends ie the jws live a life of outword appearances and superficial works like meeting attendance, answering questions to a third grade magazine and knocking on empty doors all the while forgetting about love.

ATT: WARNING

by EJ257 in

please be aware of everything that is happening around the world at this moment in time.

this goes to anyone, ex-communicated, removed, serving, believer and non.

at this point in my observations i have realized many religions/ideologies know there is some sort "end of time" or a transition into a new order of living in this earth.

Crazyguy

Yes he is correct, the zombie apocalypse is about to happen, get your guns and knives ready.....

The Ages Of The Biblical Patriarchs

by JW_Rogue in

so i've been reading the imitate their faith book (because my wife wants to) and keep coming upon these ridiculous ages for the bible patriarchs.

now i know wt takes everything literally but there has got to be some explanation that makes more sense.

why would the bible writers create these obviously false ages?

Crazyguy

I think it comes from the Sumerian kings list. These guys ruled for 20 plus thousand of years each. Also thier is another list from sumeria where the names are different written in akkadian but the list translates by what each name means to hebrew exactly. These names are all from Adam to Noah. So it's clear these names were taken from a Sumerian story just like the flood story.

The fraud that is the WT member numbers

by Crazyguy in

ok i'm just thinking out load here so to speak.

but let say in the year 2000 the wt says they have 1 million publishers and at the end of the year they say they had 300,000 people get baptized so in the beginning of the year 2001 they show 1,300,000 publishers.

then in this new year they state another 300,000 get baptized but with 50,000 deaths and 50,000 disfellowshippings they stated at the end of year 2001 a total of 1,500,000 total members.

But wait a minute, the in the two years they report both 2000 and 2001 a total of ones baptised as 600,000 , 300,000 per year. But here is the thing, these baptised we're formally publisher's most likely kids and we're reported as such. So from the publisher ranks already counted they get baptized and are again counted. Does the WT make the proper adjustment in their numbers? I think no would be the answer, because if 300k we're once publishers then baptized would not they amount be zeroed out the next year? Or am I missing something? I smell a rat.

Decrease of numbers in Jehovah's Witnesses via Deaths, DFings, or Turning Inactive

by flipper in

jw
friends

so i'm sure a good number of us saw the chart that i believe the poster splash put on another thread of figures since 1990 regarding how many baptized and % of increase each year .

i started analyzing it ( and i know some referred to it briefly on the other thread ) and guessing of reasons the % of increase didn't match the number of newly baptized.

and of course common sense tells us that either jw's leave the cult each year through death, fading into inactivity, or getting dfed.

Crazyguy

One figure I was thinking about that scews the numbers is publishers. When a publisher gets baptized he is counted as a baptism maybe even counted twice that year but then the following year would the number then not have to go down because he is only counted as a publisher?

Crazyguy

Show your mom mark 7:18 where nothing taken in by a man can defile him. Matt 12 7-8 we desire mercy not sacrifice. Then show her the km we're the Borg says cows blood is OK.
