... but, they fail to take note of one important detail.. i believe that if we are going to have any chance of reasoning with a jw about blood, this is the place we need to begin.. don't try to convince them that it was only a dietary law.
it wasn't, and they will never go along with it.. don't tell them that saving a life is more important than obeying a law, even a seemingly trivial one.
they take pride in obedience.
It is a good thing that they used nails (used nails?) which caused some bleeding, and the soldier pricked Jesus with a spear to see if he was already dead, (or unconscious), and the chest cavity emptied, or
no blood would have been spilled, since the death on the stake/cross was by suffocation (breaking the supporting legs to hasten it).

Are women created in God’s image? Or is there an exception?
Blondi, thanks, yes they are. assuming that "god" is eternal, (because there always must have been time), and the universe started in a point of that time, then the universe and us were, and still are inside "god" so, the female is one of the perfect presentation of "god"
male and female he made them, in his image.
i used to dread seeing a witness coming toward me.
now i am quite comfortable and hope that they may say something to me..... does your blood pressure rise when you see a jw coming toward you?
?.
No, they are absolutely no match for an informed observer, any possible theme will backfire on them bigtime, a hidden barb, seed planted for later blooming.
i'm at the stage where i'd love a big scandal to come along showing clearly that the j.w's are not the true religion, but sometimes i get touched inside by various thoughts or events, the russian court trial being one of them.. i mean, j.w's are understandably fixated with attending the memorial, so why didn't the court say it will resume on monday or tuesday, instead setting wednesday 12 april as the date?
part of me believes the comments from pro-j.w's that jehovah moved events so they could attend the memorial.. it seems the j.w's will not be banned, which makes my mind and heart wrestle between thinking jah's behind it, or maybe the ministry of justice is just woefully prepared compared to the superb australian royal commission team who did their homework.
it surprises me the russians seemingly haven't done any homework..
pale emperor, do not complain, he allowed to get all the previous dates wrong, but this time from the 11 to 12 he got it right. finally. did not use the jw's GB, F&DS though, he let the Russian judges work instead. May be he should realize he was using the wrong channel before? l !! just missed the unlucky 13.
florida keys news, saturday 8 april 2017. key west to settle religious discrimination suit by former bus driver.
the city of key west has reached an agreement to settle a federal lawsuit brought by a former city bus driver who claimed religious discrimination fueled his firing after he refused to work during the nudity-filled fantasy fest.. bobby walker jr. sued the city march 3, 2016, nearly three months after the equal employment opportunity commission dismissed his claim over his firing.
he accused his bosses of mocking his religious beliefs and making derogatory comments about his race before firing him from the $13-an-hour job in retaliation when he complained.
is not a bus driver equivalent to a captain on a ship? to some extent responsible for the going ons on board?
In another case a driver just parked the vehicle when things went wrong on board. How do you keep a measure of control if your vision gets blurred by genitalia all over? when things go south in the seating area? bsw, you can not go further south in the US than Key West, should call it Key South.
so many evolutionist's on this forum are upset at the terror attacks in europe such as recently in sweden.
it is just a logical step in the evolution of the human race.
should you not rather be celebrating the great changes taking place right before your eyes and constructing detailed explanations of the cell structure and dna development in the human brain.. you can't eat your cake and still have it.
You bring migrants from dysfunctional societies (that they have created) , pay them, house them, , feed them make sure they can sue you right to the supreme court, at your cost, Give them time so that they can chase your daughters while you are at work paying taxes, saving,---
of course you are going to develop a new class of people that prosper in that lifestyle, produce more children then you, exponentially. so, before the overlapping generation expires, Europe, as we knew it, will be gone.
Create a niche, and life will find the perfect match. Is it evolution Biological or Social? not a nice niche.

It is a novel situation to give subsidized access from a self-destructing segment of society to a flourishing part.
what will evolve? The early signs are not encouraging, (see the European news)
pesident trump authorized the missile strike because “it is in the vital, national security interest of the united states to prevent and deter the use of deadly chemical weapons.” .
59 tomahawk missiles were launched from two us navy ships.. russia has condemned the action.. https://youtu.be/4svp3yfneyq.

More on topic, it seems that (a) Syrians are psychic or (b) someone tipped them off. I wonder how that could have happened..
bohm:
Russia is flying bombing runs there all the time. The US informed, as agreed, Moscow's air traffic control: " we are coming "
That is why Xi kept smiling through it all, El Presidente showing his macho streak. Striking an emptying nest.
suposedly babylon the great lost her power and influence over the people and government rulers back in 1919. flash forward to today the russian orthodox church is behind the banning of witnesses in russia.
yet another failed prophecy!
have these guys gotten anything right?!
wt would have some relevance if they would be wrong about a real world entity. but they are so irrelevant because they are even wrong about an entity of their own creation, namely " the empire of false (non wt) religion"

actually it has nothing to do with Chemicals but with China. Xi in Florida, having to watch his host blast an opponent. message: just watch me.
Xi had the right to be treated as theme No.1, and did not make the headlines. Sweet revenge for the Obama no-red carpet theater, and no red faces. subtle moves.
