An explanation for the increase in anointed
by pirata inremember, if you see this in the watchtower, or hear it in a talk, you heard it here first .
evidently, since we are so close to end of this system of things, god has seen it fitting to fill the final spots held open for the 144,000.. there.
simple, elegant, and doesn't require an overhaul of the 144,000 jw belief..

How do you pour the blood out of a fish???
by pirata inokay, so noah was given dominion over the fish, birds, and animals.
he could kill them and eat them, but not their blood.
the mosaic law dictated pouring out the blood, which is then assumed that is the method used by noah to avoid eating blood.. how do you drain the blood out of a fish?

Happy One Day Closer To Your Death!
by pirata ini'm a jw.
being a naughty one, i sometimes substitute "worldly" sayings that jws do not say with other ones.. for examples, on jw birthdays, i'd sometimes said "happy one day closer to your death!".
or around christmas time i'd say "merryyyyyyyyy.... had a little lamb".

1909 Watchtower Article on Acts 15:28,29
by pirata ini was suprised to find that the 1909 watchtower had an understanding of the blood ruling that meshes more coherently with the circumstances (galatians 1,2; acts 21:20-32) surrounding that decision.
it acknowledges that these were not binding laws, but rather were made with a preservation of peace between hebrew and gentile christians.
it draws the parallel between blood and meat sacrificed to idols (1 corinthians 8).

Need scholarly/credible references for Orthodox (or other) Jewish views on blood
by pirata inis anyone aware of any scholarly/credible references for orthodox (or other) jewish views on blood?
i would like to share this information with a jw, and was looking for something that leaves jws out of the discussion and would be seen as somewhat authoritative.
thank you..

See you later
by pirata init's been a year and a bit since i first joined jwn.
the guilty fascination, turned anger, turned sadness, turned acceptance has been a journey that i'm honored all of you have have been a pat of, whether you realize it or not.
although i haven't said much about myself personally, and probably won't as long as i still am a captive... er i mean a member of jehovah's witnesses, i appreciated reading all your posts, observations, stories and reality-checks.
