The best essay I have read on blood in scriptures, is contained in the best book I have read: In Search of Christian Freedom by Raymond Franz (former JW leader)

Do world events preoccupy you?
by JH inwhen you read the news on the net or tv or in the news paper, do you get worried about war, oil prices, ozone depletion, species dying, and the list could go on and on, or are you just numb about it?
i found these 2 forums, and they really think that the end is close, and they aren't jw's !!!!

People in every generation in the last 2,000 years have believed they were living in the last days, mostly due to the same Scriptures, and misinterpretations of prophecy.

Do you feel, "Love with strings, Is Not Love?
by xjwms ini have just started listening to a cd from the robbins group, ... it is an interview with leo buscaglia.. he made this statement, "that love with strings is not love.
" it really drove home a reminder of my association with jw's.
if you don't do what we tell you we will not love you.. then he said, ... humans blame love.

JWs offer unconditional love on condition you agree with everything they say.

What if it could be proven in a court of law that the Governing Body knew
by frankiespeakin inwhat if it could be proven in a court of law that the governing body knew all along they were not god's channel but still forbade thier followers to take a life saving ,,,,blood transfussion on the pain of disfellowshipment???
?do you know how much evidence against them would be found right in thier own literature that would be able to hang those guys in court?
the gb better hope they never revealed to anyone thier disbeleif even in the slightest way,,just alittle slip of the tongue is all it will take,,, because you never know????

Methinks they would just love to be found guilty and thrown into prison, that's how the FDS 'class' was appointed, wasnt it. Now that sort of persecution would prove they were right all along, wouldn't it!?

?Why do you observe the splinter in your brother?s eye and never notice the plank in your own? How dare you say to your brother, let me take the splinter out of your eye, when all the time there is a plank in your own? Hypocrite! Take the plank out of your own eye first, and then you will see clearly enough to take the splinter out of your brother?s eye.?

spiritualism
by Ellie in.
can i just ask, has anyone ever had any bad experience after buying anything from a spiritualist type shop?.
i ask because today i walked past a shop in my town that sells crystals and things and they do tarrot and that kind of thing, i picked up enough courage to go in to have a look and i saw this lovely fairy candle holder, i really liked it but i am a bit afraid to buy it as i guess i've had it drummed in to me that those things are channels for demons.

Ellie,
I have one or two crystals in the house because they are natural and beautiful. My JW friends used to believe they had healing powers (before they became JWs) but I always said just enjoy them for how nice they look! They have no evil power, demons exist only in our minds - please don't take Biblical references literally, that is if you believe in the Bible.

To be, or not to be... is that the question!?
by nicholas inrevelation 22: 11-14.
"11he that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12and, behold, i come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

You seem to have expressed the truth of the Gospel. I just recently learned that is the opposite of what JWs teach as truth, quite scary!

Anyone here into Fêng Shui?
by nicolaou inpersonally i think it's about as useful as a bag full of farts.
what do you think?

A know some really gullible people who were into a long list of daft beliefs, one after the other for nearly thirty years. This feng shui thing was just one of them.
But now, they're Jehova's Witnesses.
