  The Changing history of the Watchtowers Blood Policy-- repost

  by AliveinChrist in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  somehow the first few paragraphs didnt come up on my original post yesterday, so i am reposting it again.. .

  having had a jw friend die last year after giving birth in a hospital in southern .

  *** w80 3/15 p. 31 questions from readers *** while the bible specifically forbids consuming blood, there is no biblical command pointedly forbidding the taking in of other human tissue.. we could easily see a future watchtower article that says something along those same terms,.

  the official position of the watch tower society, developed during the second, world war, is that if one of jehovahs witnesses accepts such alternative service he has compromised, has broken integrity with god.

  Salvation, Luther, and the Watchtower

  no man with simply a bible and faith in christ would be allowed salvation apart from the catholic organization.

  positions that the wt religion teaches on the idea concerning the issue the witnesses having to identify themselves as being a member of the watchtower organization for their salvation one the one hand, it is taught that were one to impute salvation toward `an organization' one would be engaging in a `modern version of idolatry.

  note the following quote from the wt which echoes the catholic creed.

  Greg Stafford releases JWD 3

  by AliveinChrist in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  greetings group .

  i saw today that stafford is going to be releasing a third addition of his jehovahs witnesses defended publication at a pre-sale price, on his web site at http://www.elihubooks.com/ .

  it will be of interest to those of us who have read his publications to see what changes will be in version 3 that were not in version 2, since the release of his three dissertations book, which was a more candid look at the history of the wt history and doctrinal changes.

  The Watchtower and Mind Control

  by AliveinChrist in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  greetings group .

  looking back at my experience as a jw, i can now see all the things that are similar to other organizations that i thought were cultic, although i justified such activities in my own organization, as we were programmed to think by the organization.

  what amazes me is that there are so many otherwise intelligent, rational, and cogent men and women in these religious organizations that can point to cultic corruption and mind and behavior control in other organizations, yet cannot see the very same exact tactics being used upon them.
