Rub is a funny guy,I like his/ her posts
@smiddy3 ...
I was a guy the last time I checked. But with the COVID-19 thing everywhere, who knows. I may soon start sitting when I pee.
i have a couple of thoughts on the blood and shunning doctrines, both of which have been covered well before.
here, and on j.w facts.com and elsewhere.. but i would like to point out the following, the only scriptures they can use in reality for their blood doctrine are the verses from acts chapter 15. o.t verse are really out of the question, and dishonest to use on their part, as they do not follow most of the injunctions in there!.
the context of acts 15 is a council of the apostles and others in the jerusalem congregation, to decide what they should ask of gentile christians in the way of behaviours and practices etc, as jewish christians were demanding they comply with the mosaic law, or were, at the very least offended if they did not.

at what time would you say that the watch tower schema lost the spirit?.
like the ancient nation of israel which struggled maintaining divine blessing due to a long series of grave errors that eventually culminated in definitive loss... how and when did watch tower lose the spirit?.
can we pinpoint a time or event?.
my old account was silent and i had to create a new account which kind of bums me, but here i am.. over the years i've really experienced some rough times emotionally and spiritually which led me down many paths.
being angry most all of time with a few outbursts really started to make me take stock of what was wrong with me.
further i started really going back and trying to figure out where i went wrong.. so i revisted all my previous posts on here.

Thoughts on Sunning and blood Doctrines ...
@Phizzy ...
I understand they (we) have a convoluted understanding of the Blood doctrine.
But when it comes to Sunning, that is a very important component for the bodily absorption of Vitamin D.
However, for those with a pale complexion, a suntan lotion with a high SPF number works well, especially for our brothers and sisters in Scandinavia.
there is a surge going on of people buying guns, especially first time buyers.
with talk of police defunding and rioting in the neighborhoods, some people want to protect themselves.. do you support owning and using a gun if needed?.
i might have missed this but blondie was always one of the best posters here.
her analysis and commentary was spot on.. is everything ok with her?

did flipper host the apostafest, or was it cancelled due to covid 19?.
so what the heck are they brainwashing today in the meeting or what ever.
she is in full on cult mode talking about the end of the world.
she asked me to listen to a couple of talks and i respectfully declined.
Maybe I should be on the Society's Writing Committee. I could end this on-going discussion quickly.
The King of the North was Ulysses S. Grant. The King of the South was Robert E. Lee.
The North won. Meeting adjourned. Let's all stand and sing song # 12345.
As an additional note to those attending our meeting on Zoom, if you are not wearing pants you may remain seated.
