41 Theses on Blood: My "best of" questions/arguments on JW Blood Ban
by Check_Your_Premises inon the earth you should pour it out as water.. from these verses it is clear that there is an old testament prohibition against eating blood.
if not, why do you think it is sacred?
so whenever a person took the life of an animal, they were to drain the blood and not drink it because the blood represents the life and not theirs to take without god's permission.

by Check_Your_Premises inbackground:.
i spent some time here awhile back as an unbelieving mate of a jw wife.

Jehovah's INEFFECTIVE Witness...(Why no TV ministry???)
by Terry inwhat if i asserted the following as true?
the watchtower bible and tract society has no interest in an effective evangelical program of conversion.. would that sound silly?
disfellowshipping would lead to having a big target placed on the ex jw's back at armageddon.. .

Quotes Mirror Sites: Attempt at Making a Single Place to Report Sites
by Check_Your_Premises init appears that the work around for the quotes site will be a long term effort.
as the wt plays whack-a-mole with the new sites that pop up, we need to know where the new ones pop up.. so here is my attempt to bring some order to this process.
let's make this a running thread where we put all our links to the mirror sites.. the downside is that the wt will know where to go to find out where the new sites are they have to squash.. the upside is that it is alot easier to put a site up then it is for the wt to take them down!!!.
