One question that would make you think....
by Dawn inno jw's have been to my door for years because they all know where i live - my mom drives by with her "car group" and points out our house, even stops to use the potty or get a pop.
silly - i know, but mom doesn't seem to care about the shunning thing (thank goodness).. anyways - hubby and i have bought a new house and will be moving out of this congregation's area soon.
it's a brand new house in a new area so i'm sure it'll get worked fairly quickly (new blood on the block).

Are you confident about blood?
by eyeslice inthe issue of blood remains a tricky one.. personally, i think that the ot prohibition of blood is more of a statement of respect for life and in particular respect for the life of the animal that lost it life in providing food for man.
similarly, it was prohibited for a calf to be cooked in the milk of its mother.. with blood transfusions, no one actually dies and, therefore, in my view blood transfusion is more a matter of personal conscience than centrally dictated law.. undeniably though, it is clear that risks are associated with blood transfusions, particularly hepatitis c.. if an alternative were available, would you not choose this every time over whole blood?
would this not then justify the current jw stance?.

Saddam's speech to the nation
by Nowhere ini heard some of saddam's speech that he held to the iraqi nation (on the news).
he warned usa that they can not attac iraq.
because god is on saddam's side, and god would never let anyone to beat the iraqi nation.. now we finally know that it infact is saddam that has the true religion, the connection with god, jw's was the wrong answer.... i would love to hear his excuse for loosing big time if the war really starts.

Woman Are Inferior?
by JH inin the watchtower world, woman are just about nothing.
they hold no responsibilities in the congregation except cleaning the toilets and not much more.
we all know that woman are just as intelligent as men, and some could even be good elders.

Hey I need your help folks
by Iron Eagle inhey folks .
over the past couple of years , ive been viewing so called 'apostate' material from one source or another over the internet.
