  Perry said: Hi there Crazy Guy. I have heard this critique before and would like to just point out that light was present on day one, before the plants were created.

  Perry, please explain how 'Day' was created before the Sun was created. Thank you.

  We cannot abstain from blood. Our bodies need it and they keep producing it. If bodies fail, a transfusion would be acceptable.

  god prohibited the eating of blood.

  in genesis, leviticus and deuteronomy the edict is clear: "do not eat blood !

  " when the apostles said "abstain from blood," jewish christians must have contextually understood that to mean "do not eat blood.

  Even as a teenager, the logic of elevating a symbol of life above life itself eluded me. Anyone who believes this has clearly suffered a psychotic break.

  Clearly, Dr. Brandon van der Ventel is deluded.

  i apologize for the cut and paste but some things simply can't be condensed or reworded.

  the following article is from aljazeera.

  a graphic video of a 'witch' burning, which i will not post directly here, can be seen at http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=cfd_1367882372.

  Which bible character do you hate the most?

  by Bonsai in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the more i think about it, the more i feel an extreme dislike for the apostle paul.

  he was on par with hitler in his treatment of the jews before he "saw the light".

  he replaced jesus teachings of love and mercy with a more legalistic, pharisaical concept of devotion to god.. any evil person can come to believe in god and worship him if the scales were literally and miraculously removed from his eyes.

  ATT: WARNING

  by EJ257 in

  please be aware of everything that is happening around the world at this moment in time.

  this goes to anyone, ex-communicated, removed, serving, believer and non.

  at this point in my observations i have realized many religions/ideologies know there is some sort "end of time" or a transition into a new order of living in this earth.

  JW message becoming more and more relevant

  by lsw1961 in

  mans requirements are limited which can be satisfied with a little and tension-free endeavor..

  however man attempts not only to collect but also to grab and amass everything to the excess.

  somehow he feels that he can be happy only when he has in abundance whereas others have nothingwhich seems to be the thread that runs throughout the history.

  If I told you I was coming over to your house 'imminently' and over 100 years passed and I never showed up, would you still believe that I was coming 'soon' or would you conclude 'I don't think she's ever coming'.

  THE one requirement of Faith is that you must abandon logic and reason.

  Decrease of numbers in Jehovah's Witnesses via Deaths, DFings, or Turning Inactive

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i'm sure a good number of us saw the chart that i believe the poster splash put on another thread of figures since 1990 regarding how many baptized and % of increase each year .

  i started analyzing it ( and i know some referred to it briefly on the other thread ) and guessing of reasons the % of increase didn't match the number of newly baptized.

  and of course common sense tells us that either jw's leave the cult each year through death, fading into inactivity, or getting dfed.

  My maternal grandfather, who introduced this religion into my family, died in 1967. I am not sure his wife, my maternal grandmother, ever 'dedicated' herself, however, she died in 1975.

  In the 1990s, I lost a cousin who refused a blood transfusion. Only 1 of her 3 children remained in the faith. (Her husband was not a JW).

  I also lost an uncle who was a JW.

  My mother died in 2002. She was a JW.
  

  I lost an aunt and uncle in the 2000-2007 timeframe who were both JWs.

  My father in inactive due to declining health from dementia.
