is a homosexual as bad as a paodophile to a jw ?
by looloo inthe same guy that spoke to my mum on the doors yesterday was talking about them in the same catergory , aswell as saying that there are alot of 13 to 15 year old girls hanging around the local night club looking for a one night stands (she should of asked him how he knew about this , is that because he is there ?
) his point was is a man of 25 that picks up a 15 year old plastered in makeup at a nightclub a paedophile ?
which was totally irrelevant to the point she was making about the local ex min servant that had abused his daughters friends in the cong even though he was good friends with thier parents and had known the girls since birth , so did know they were underage .

Japan Court - All JW kids under 15 to get blood..(old law was 12 yo)
by skeeter1 inchildren below 15 to get blood infusion even if parents object friday, february 29, 2008 at 06:49 est tokyo a joint panel of japan's five medical societies on thursday said that children under 15 who require blood transfusions should be given them, even if this means going against the wishes of their parents, such as jehovah's witnesses, who object to such treatment on account of their religious beliefs.
releasing guidelines on the issue in a press conference, the panel headed by fukushima medical university professor hitoshi oto said children under 15 should be socially protected, drawing a line at the age from which a person's competency to make a will is recognized under the commercial code.
"the guidelines will help facilitate the decision-making and choice of socially appropriate treatment by medical institutions," oto said.

Why doesn't it occur...
by crazycate inwhy doesn't it occur to my friends and family that.... for one hundred years (give or take) we could prove via scriptures and greek translation that the generation jesus referred to meant that no one born in 1914 would die before the end came.. then that changed (in 1995), but we were able to prove the new "understanding" via scriptures and greek translation.. now the "understanding" is changing again.
but i'm sure we can still prove it via scripture and greek translation.. what will we be able to prove next?.

what is the official JW view on bible students?
by hamilcarr inwhile visiting some bible students sites, i wondered what the official jw view on these organizations is.
are they part of babylon the great simply because of refuting the post-1916 developments and the governing body?
as far as i know, they do not adhere to any of the false teachings jw like to refer to in debunking the rcc and traditional protestantism, such as hellfire, trinity, immortal soul.

Generation change in study article
by LadyCCC ini just finished reading the "journal" and it mentioned that they have said in the past that the generation meant the unbelieving jews, and then in modern day times generation meant world of unbelievers, now am i wrong to assume that what is mentioned in paragraph 15 of the last study article in the feb. 15th watchtower is that the annointed are the "generation"?
is this now new light?
are we to assume that this is still the truth despite the changes, i mean what if they are and our faith is being tested?
