Aleman, why do I get the feeling that you're hearing only what you want to hear ? Do you really want to know the truth about these issues or is your only desire trying to convince yourself or others that you're "right" ?
Here are a couple of things to consider.Firstly, you follow the GB's other decisions, such as blood, but when it comes to this forum, which you know is a direct violation of their orders,a subject about which they have even used scriptures to support, you quickly write off those scriptures (and their counsel) as being either misapplied or just plain wrong ! You can't have it both ways.Either they're the FDS whose guidance should be accepted in all aspects of life or they're not.The greater sin goes to the man who believes and yet does NOT follow.People were df'd or died because the GB said that accepting an organ transplant was cannibalism ! At one time if you took ANY component of blood you were df'd, now it's broken down into components.Isn't it obvious just how Pharisaical that is ? Here are a couple of intersting points for you as well:
"After Russell's death in 1916, Joseph Franklin Rutherford succeeded Russell as president of the Watchtower organization. Under his administration Jehovah’s Witnesses depicted uses of blood as heroic and the Lord’s work. In 1925, blood transfusion was mentioned in an issue of Golden Age. It reported on Mr. B. W. Tibble who donated blood on forty-five separate occasions. The article highlighted his refusal of payment for donating, and the honor accordingly bestowed upon him by Order of the king. [ In 1927 the Watchtower organization addressed blood, stating, “God told Noah that every living creature… must not eat the blood…”. [ In 1931 this was expounded by the Watchtower organization teaching “that it was not the eating of the blood that God objected to, but it was bringing the blood of the beast in contact with the blood of man.” At this time the Watchtower organization taught that humanblood was sacred and that it was wrong to contaminate human blood with animal blood. ] In 1940 while discussing interesting medical news, the Watchtower organization reported on a woman who accidentally shot herself with a revolver in her heart and survived a major surgical procedure during which an attending physician donated a quart of his own blood for transfusion."
Additionally, the FDS counsels one to get out of false religion and to quit touching the unclean thing. The apostle Paul wrote: "'Get out from among them, and separate yourselves,' says Jehovah, 'and quit touching the unclean thing'; 'and I will take you in.' Are not all here considered to be "unclean" by the Society ? If one believes what the Society says then being here is a VERY serious sin which is why they disfellowship for it.Now I'm not saying you need to leave Aleman, I don't have that authority anyway, what I am saying is that you have some serious thinking to do.Will you write all of this off or are you truly concerned about truth ?
