What Was Meant By 'Abstain From Blood'?
by headisspinning ini have always been very hardcore about my aversion to blood and have never even considered the possibility that this was merely a dietary restriction.
i always bought into the analogy of a doctor telling a patient to abstain from alcohol... it wouldn't matter whether this individual drank the alcohol or took it intravenously... it would all be in direct contradiction to the doctor's orders to 'abstain' from alcohol.. or the other analogy is to an apple pie... if you weren't to eat the pie, it would not be okay to separate it out into the main parts (or 'components)... ie.
the flour, the apples, the sugar or the cinnamon... if they were taken from that pie, you were eating the pie.. so maybe you can see where the questions popped up for me.

Good news for a change....
by ProdigalSon inamidst all the tragedy and bad news lately, i thought i would share something positive.
for those of you who are aware that we are not alone in this universe and that there is a hierarchy of "angels" looking out for us, that disclosure is imminent and that we are headed for a much better world where selfishness and greed are no longer the norm, where mankind will live in peace upon a "paradise earth", free from the wretched clutches of the dark ruling elite (yes, i am talking about the fall of "babylon the great"), then this news is for you: the "elohim" have everything fully under control.. for you skeptics, this is channeled information.
if you think this is foolish, please try to keep your negativity and ad hominem attacks to a minimum on my thread.

My brother is now being trained as a Circut Overseer.
by Voices ini received a phone call from my mother (who is still a jw, but very accepting of me still as her loving son, even though i was disfellowshiped for questioning the oranization and choosing the bible over the watchtower at that time).
she makes normal talk, just regular stuff pertaining to situations of ours.
about me coming to visit, and or her coming.

OK guys, we're off the hook!!!
by JeffT inhttp://www.themedguru.com/20091206/newsfeature/stare-boobs-longer-life-study-86131320.html.
frankfurt, germany, december 6 -- a rather bizarre study carried out by german researchers suggests that staring at women's breasts is good for men's health and increases their life expectancy.. .
according to dr. karen weatherby, a gerontologist and author of the study, gawking at womens breasts is a healthy practice, almost at par with an intense exercise regime, that prolongs the lifespan of a man by five years.. .

Redemption, Salvation, Atonement? The fly in the ointment
by SweetBabyCheezits ini posted this paine quote in the middle of another thread but thought it deserved its own.
this principle eluded me before reading the age of reason.
it's such a simple, basic concept of justice and yet so many christians miss it (as i did) or ignore it.. .

Jesus between age 12 and 30. . .
by Mad Sweeney ini'm thinking he traveled east and learned the wisdom of the orient.
no way the watchtower line about him being a carpenter's assistant all that time is possibly true.
he was way too learned about the ways of people to not have been educated and his ideas seem very eastern to me.. anyone got any good books, articles, blogs, websites on the topic?.
