i believe that most witnesses would refuse blood to show their faithfulness to jehovah's law on blood transfusions....( that sounds silly, huh?).
.
.
I would have been a fool and refused blood.
After leaving the Jehovah's Witness cult and thoroughly researching Acts Chapter 15, I came to the informed conclusion that the only reason eating animal blood was prohibited to the Gentiles was so they would not stumble their weak Jewis brothers who lived a different culture and lifestyle.
i see no logic in it.
i see what appears to be some scriptural contradictions but i see no merit in a trinitarian view of god.. .
.
Yes.
But it only started making sense after I left the organiztion and burned all Watchtower Society materials in my possession.
The Watchtowers were almost impossible to burn. I used 10 gallons of petrol on them before they started smoking and then another 15 gallons to finish them off.
i don't know if this question has been asked before,.
but, in any case,.
based on the comments of the governing body, at various conventions, annual meetings , info-mmercials, etcetara, etcetara, etcetera, [ i loved yule brenner in the king and i],.
About the same as the outside temperature this morning.
what is the perfect product to sell to a jw?.
cheap?.
exclusive?.
Week #52 in Paradise Timeshares, Inc. because the watchtower Society sold them week #53.
They have none.
here is a simple and obvious way to tell how effective jw.tv is going to be:.
in the past, how effective has religious tv been for you?
has watching religious tv made by moonies, evangelists, mormons or scientologists made you seriously reflect on spirituality?
What a joke.
I suspect that every secular educated JW will watch it one time and will not bother to tune in again.
not usually a subject the watchtower likes to touch ,the giants that lived after the flood are a fact of ancient record and archeology .how tall were they ?
where did they live and how tall was og the king of bashan ?.
from this week's highlights deuteronomy 3:11:"for king og of bashan was the last remaining one of the rephaim.
13 feet 6 inches long and 6 feet wide
i just got a job teaching in a school run by moderate muslims.
the students are muslim and do their prayers at school and have daily quran lessons.
my job is to teach art, english literacy and literature, and history.
I am happy for you, Julia.
I hope this job works out well with you.
Don't pay any attention to the whiners who have their panties in a wad over what the curriculum consists of.
Maybe they will man up and pay you the same salary you get from the school so you can stay at home and make them happy if they don't like what you are teaching.
Thankyou!
here are a few of my wishful thoughts that, if came true, would make me enjoy my religion even more:.
no more end of month time reporting.. delete one of the 1-day circuit assemblies.
may replace with a 'special meeting', such as the one we had last year.. eliminate friday from the big convention.. no more international conventions!
Gusty Cintrn, you are begining to sound like an apostate with all those reforms you advocate.
Maybe you should go to your congregation elders and confess your sin against the organization.
