If organ transplants and blood transfusions are in reality 'feeding', why don't they give persons suffering from malnutrition a blood transfusion?

does anyone know of a wt or wt book, that states abraham will be tested again and then judged based on his deeds during the millenium?.
essentiallly claiming that, after god testing abraham, with the sacrifice of isaac, he will tell him that he has to pass the same test that the resurrcted unrighteous have to pass.
i know that this is a teaching that is required by holding to the 2 class belief, but i haven't found any artocles on it.. any ideas?.
Obviously you do not recall that Abraham, David, and Moses, those 'ancient worthies', were resurrected back in 1925 an stayed with the 'original' fds/gb member, Rutherford down in San Diego. Isn't that why the the mini mansion was built in San Diego?
Come on guys. You need to keep up with that fast moving chariot!

so i used to think that all witnesses believed the same exact thing but i have heard some claims that they believe things i'm not familiar with.
do you know if it's true?
The ever changing beliefs of jw's are like the old jewish joke. "What do you get when you have 10 jewish men in a room? 11 different opinoins!

we have often heard about the need to "put on the 'new personality'" as a jw.... but i have realised something in these last few years of awakening to the ttatt...i dont like what i had become as a 'good' jw!.
i realised that being a 'good' jw made me very:.
critical of my fellow man,.
The "new personality" should be shaped by the WTBTS's teachings, doctrines, and interpretations of the bible. Now I know why I'm schizophrenic!

such a ripoff when you dream you're back at the damn meetings.
i once dreamed a local (rather liberal-minded) elder, jack hoogendoorn, was smoking a cigar while he was giving a talk on the platform.. last night i was back there again: one elder who suddenly decided he was going to be "encouraging" gave me the latest stats on baptisms, while someone else i was meant to go witnessing with was not-so-subtly probing me about how many magazines i'd been placing lately.
i chose not to tell them i had decided against placing mags any more.
Nightmare not dream!

i think of how judgmental we were as witnesses.
"worldly ones" were almost as bad as disfellowshipped ones but not as bad as "apostates"..
Very embarrassed! Had to virtually shun my 'worldly' family (cousins, aunts and uncles and grandparents). No holidays for my kids. Appointed as an elder in 1972 at 25 yo and had way too much to do considering I had two kids under 5 yo. I was a 'self righteous sh*thead like all young elders were in those days. Like minimus said 'having to counsel families when I was still wet behind the ears". What a joke of a life I led and dragged my family into. Oh well, that's the past!

yes, you read correctly..... all appointed men have been told in a new letter that they have to pioneer to "set the lead" whenever there is a "special" campaign month.
they use some scripture saying that these ones have to show by example.... so for any of us who are appointed and have learned ttatt, it is going to be very hard to fade during this time!.
.
Soon all "appointed men" will need to be circumcised also.

i use the word clinging, as i feel that is what i am doing.
as far as my knowledge of science, namely chemistry is concerned, i am satisfied there is evidence of a creator.
i am happy to believe this.
