  Thoughts on Sunning and blood Doctrines.

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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.

  Thanks Rub, and to Slimboy, both of you noticed my Typo, so did others no doubt

  @Phizzy ...

  I didn't realize it was a typo or else I wouldn't have commented.

  I actually liked the sunning part, more enjoyable to think about than all that stuff about blood.

  When did WT lose the spirit?

  by Smiles in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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?.

  I can't remember the exact year but I distinctly remember putting out the stuff for recycling on the curb in front of my house that day so it had to be either the first or third Tuesday of the month.

  Honest assessment of my life

  by silent3 in

  2. experiences

  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.

  Not to be harsh, but I picture the guy sitting on the sidewalk in front of a liquor store, holding a piece of cardboard with John 3:16 written on it, with a paper cup in his hand asking for spare change.

  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.

  Guns...Are You For or Against Legally Owning Them?

  by minimus in

  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?.

  are gun owners in the US required to participate in ongoing gun training?

  @joey ...

  In most cases, the only training here you need in the US is being able to fog a mirror if one is put under your nose.

  I agree that there must have been an "event" for her to leave so abruptly.

  I hope she is well. She has been a great asset here over the years.

  I had planned to attend but then I found out that some there would be apostates so to avoid bad association I cancelled.

  Those of us in the Troof have to be careful.

  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.
