the jehovah's witnesses are taught by their organisation that christ's body was disposed by jehovah god, they deny the physical bodily resurrection and explain that he rose again as a spirit creature.
as we take into account what the watchtower teach, i explain from the bible that christ rose again from the grave in his body, and showing forth that the jehovah's witnesses are in error.
in this video i cover:
Reminds me of 1Kings 18:27 "And at noon Elijah mocked them, saying, “Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is musing, or he is relieving himself, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened.”
it looks like joe biden might be the next president of united states!

DOC...it was said on SNL in a spoof of her. To the brainless leftists that is the same thing.

if one man on his own can use technology to track down and expose these lumps of vomit who think they are human beings, then why can't western governments' security services do the same?.
Fascinating! I find it amazing that some private citizen can do this, but the government can't or wont.

I was surprised about Buttigieg myself. He probably would have been the 'best' candidate to put up against Trump out of the lot. And that isn't saying much!

Joe Biden? Heck, Sanders is still strong in the running for the Democratic (Socialist) nomination.
I find it interesting at what happened last night during Biden's speech. A couple of Sanders supporters rushed Biden while talking. I think this shows how far out there some (I said some you loonie left leaners) of Sanders supporters are. If Biden does win the nomination, these radicals will NOT go out and vote for Biden.
when i served as an elder i never heard of this scenario presenting itself - giving blood.. has anyone heard of a judicial case where a person donated and was disfellowshipped?
are there any references to this in the jw publications, manuals, handbooks?.
not so hiddenpimo :-).
*** w05 3/15 p. 18 par. 8 "You Were Bought With a Price" ***
They knew that Elena, one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, would not donate blood or accept blood transfusions.
*** w00 10/15 p. 30 Questions From Readers ***
When donating and transfusing blood became common in the 20th century, Jehovah’s Witnesses understood that this practice conflicted with God’s Word.
*** w00 10/15 pp. 30-31 Questions From Readers ***
Occasionally, a doctor will urge a patient to deposit his own blood weeks before surgery (preoperative autologous blood donation, or PAD) so that if the need arises, he could transfuse the patient with his own stored blood. However, such collecting, storing, and transfusing of blood directly contradicts what is said in Leviticus and Deuteronomy. Blood is not to be stored; it is to be poured out—returned to God, as it were. Granted, the Mosaic Law is not in force now. Nevertheless, Jehovah’s Witnesses respect the principles God included in it, and they are determined to ‘abstain from blood.’ Hence, we do not donate blood, nor do we store for transfusion our blood that should be ‘poured out.’ That practice conflicts with God’s law.
*** w92 8/1 p. 25 Letting Their Light Shine in India ***
Because of accepting the truth, they had refused to join a college strike and also would not donate blood during a blood-collection campaign spearheaded by the student organizer.
*** w77 7/1 p. 410 Insight on the News ***
Moreover, God’s law to his people of ancient times specified that blood, when taken from a body, was not to be used for anything, but was to be disposed of. (Deut. 12:16) Later, Christians were specifically required to ‘abstain from blood.’ (Acts 15:28, 29) So, ‘donating blood as sacrifice’ is neither effective nor approved by God.
*** w61 1/15 p. 64 Questions From Readers ***
If, however, he refuses to acknowledge his nonconformity to the required Christian standard and makes the matter an issue in the Christian congregation and endeavors to influence others therein to his support; or, if in the future he persists in accepting blood transfusions or in donating blood toward the carrying out of this medical practice upon others, he shows that he has really not repented, but is deliberately opposed to God’s requirements. As a rebellious opposer and unfaithful example to fellow members of the Christian congregation he must be cut off therefrom by disfellowshiping.
Props to blondie who answered this many years ago....

so greta thunberg thinks the world pollutes too much.
specifically, the parts of the world that pollute the least and have the cleanest industries.
she doesn't seem to care about india or china who are the biggest polluters by far.. "how dare they".
Simon I agree with about 99% of what you said in this thread. I do need to clarify something you said.
I just had solar installed at my house about 6 months ago. The cost was 50% covered by tax incentives and rebates. The 10 panels covers my electric use and actually make me a little money! I am in no way one of these new tree hugging nutters out there today. However I am someone who tries to reduce my impact. I also don't in any way try to force what I think on others like this Greta psychopath. And yes, she IS a psychopath. She needs help.read about solar and wind the more you realize what a joke it is. Just look at how many panels you'd need to power the average house - you likely don't have enough land to do it.
this week's meeting stresses god's justice and righteousness in destroying the "wicked" people of the above cities.
we are told how patient and just big j was in this matter.
finally with a regretful shake of his head, he dispenses justice .. gen 19:24 then jehovah made it rain sulfur and fire on sodʹom and go·morʹrah—it came from jehovah, from the heavens.+ 25 so he overthrew these cities, yes, the entire district, including all the inhabitants of the cities and the plants of the ground.+.
Elder from platform, "So, what does the account of Lot with his daughter's teach us today?"
Pedophile from audience, "That in Armageddon, Jehobber will give us a pass if we bang our children if we are drunk and in a cave!"
