Does God really have a personal name?
by XPeterX inthe bible says that the personal name of god is jehovah/yahweh/jah etc.thing is,we don't know it's correct pronounciation (or the pronounciation of any hebrew name).the name jehovah as we know it today means "he causes to become".someone who causes something to become is just called "creator" or "maker".right?he gave that name to his self so that people or the angels could call him by a name.also,how was he called before the creation of the anything?how can some people claim to be his friends if they don't know his actual name?discuss.

Are Hemoglobin-Based Products, Bloodless?
by blondie inhttp://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/issues/2010/october/artificialblood.asp.
to make hemopure 'we take bovine blood and, using filtration and chromatography,.
the haemoglobin for mp4 comes from out-of-date human blood, rather than the bovine blood used for hemopure..

As someone said on Youtube, the Law on blood applied where a death had taken place. (Animal or human). In the case of a blood transfusion, blood is not being ingested but simply used as blood given from one person to another.No-one has to die to give blood and to receive it. God therefore needn't be involved. Warped wt argument/propoganda. "Blood" is more precious than the "life" it "represents" and could SAVE? Just plain crazy. I SO want a "Love Life, Give Blood" sticker for my car.

Whilst a JW did you play the National Lottery & would you have donated anything if you'd won?
by abbasgreta ini played for a couple of years as part of a syndicate.
(naughty me hehe!
) didn't see it as gambling but as purely a game of chance.

Interesting about employment and conscience. In one cong an elder's wife (had come into the "truth" aged about 29) was a nurse. Whilst on a particular ward she received, logged, labelled and fridged all the blood conserves. She said she "had no choice". It was part of her job, full stop. Another female pioneer worked in a sweet shop and used to make up "birthday bouquets" out of sweets and also said she was in no position to "refuse". I remember being speechless. (!) Laika: Yeh, that was the talk. I think I was always a bit "different" or as they say in Germany, "anders". We were members of an english "Working Mens Club" because you could get a pint of beer for half the price of a pub. We liked a pint and I though it was good housekeeping, being pioneers. We used to buy bingo tickets for ourselves from the offie and "play along" with the real game because it was just such fun. My daughters loved it. Another pioneer sister told me she used to play real bingo once a year on holiday at the seaside so the annuality of it rendered it "not gambling". Aaahh, the old conscience was unpredictable sometimes.

I really don't (and didn't) see the Lottery as gambling - more like a "prize draw" - which the elders in our cong said was ok as long as you'd not 'staked'. ( LOL) About 80% of the English lottery fund goes to good causes for the community, and secretly I liked that. Felt like I was doing my "bit" - I always gave £5 on Red Nose Day too. Always chucked a quid in the busker's guitar case. Should have gone in the Cont. Box..... I know. Haha.

I played for a couple of years as part of a syndicate.(Naughty me hehe!) Didn't see it as gambling but as purely a game of chance. Stopped when it was mentioned at a DA, fear of the elders etc.. Sad to say, if my numbers had come up I would have sneakily donated about £10k. Would probably have been scared about the inevitable questioning tho. Would they have taken it if they had known the where the money had come from? Now I buy the odd lucky dip - hey you've "got to be in it to win it". (Numbers today are rubbish.)

We all stopped using it within 2 days of leaving, suddenly preferring Lord, Father, God. At our church we sing about Yahweh in a few worship songs. (Jehovah is to be found in a traditional song for worship collection). Also, following Paul and Stephen's examples and believing Jesus' admonition to "ask ME anything in my name" (NOT in NWT) we pray to him as well.

What Is The Most Absurd JW Belief or View?
by minimus inthere are many silly doctines and viewpoints.. one of the strangest ones is the blood doctrine.. why anyone could logically accept this belief is beyond reason..

Their take on Jesus (the Michael business) and the blatant way they twist almost everything he said to suit their doctrines. eg "ALL authority has been given to ME" but Satan is the ruler of the world?? Really??? (This point is very dark indeed.) "No part of the world" instead of the correct "not of" the world.(Love being the dominant factor for Jesus' followers). So twisted. Leading to no rights as a citizen. No community support, no prayers for anyone except themselves, no gratitude for the armed forces, no 'worldy' friends, no clubs, no higher education, no national pride, no respect for Monarchs and and and..... cult mind-set. Loads more other c**p, its too pitiful.
