but he explained that his family's faith prohibited blood transfusions.. "we adhere to strict bible principles and one of those is to abstain from blood," he said.

Reccomended reading suggestions please.
by TheWormTower inso i've read carl olof jonsson's books the gentile times reconcidered and sign of the last days when, also raymond franz's two books crisis of conscience and in search or cristian freedom.
i am now reading a book entitled the bible unearthed by neil asher silberman and israel finkelstien which has been interesting however it stops at the old testement.
i'm looking for reccomendations on books to read next that go into the historicity of the new testement particularly from an archaeological and historical point of view.. thanks..

Animal sin?
by jambon1 inthe doctrine of sin = death.. .
if it is the case that the reason people die is due to the original sin of the man adam (romans 5:12) then why do animals also get sick and die of the same illnesses as humans?
did an animal transgress in a similar manner?.

So a Witness finally came to my door. It could have went better
by sabastious inhis name was herbert, that's all i knew about him and that he was one of jehovah's witnesses.
the knock came at 6 in the morning and i was wearing very little.
i looked out the peek hole in my door to see a single middle aged man sporting a big stupid grin standing outside my front door.

Eating Blood v Transfusion . . . same thing?
by sizemik inthe wts ban on the transfusion of whole blood or primary components is established on a number of "principles" which when taken in their entirety give rise to the doctrine.. one important one is the refusal to distinguish between the consumption of blood by eating .
and the consumption of blood by surgically implanting it (transfusion).
we've all heard the "alcohol" analogy.

Remarrying, then paradise =problem?
by Inisc inthis is a question i always wondered about and never got an answer to.. its also another reason why i'm finding it harder to believe in an 'afterlife'.. th idea that humans can live forever, now seems so scientificly impossible.. so i wanted to ask all the great minds on here,.
if someone's spouse dies, and then they remarry,then armageddon comes and goes then the deceased is resurrected,.
how,is that ever gonna work?

Attended a JW funeral the other day
by uk_ex_jw ini had an account on here sometime ago but forgot the login, but i often read the site.. a long-term friend of mine, a jw, asked me to go to his grandmothers jw funeral a few weeks ago.. i was hesitant obviously.
i haven't been to a kh in over 5 years.. i am not df/da.
i decided to quit in 2007 following my failed marriage to a jw.. the person who died was a very well-respected jw pioneer.
