  1. Why Barack ..so happy to see you..long time no see…..hope your doing well.

  2. Can you share some of his good posts…..was he billy the kid once?
  3. It’s an old teaching..may or not be true ..I have see even studies from the world concerning this
  4. There are many on line who will gloat over the fall of us as a people….let them..they forget they may be getting sifted as well.
  5. We sometimes don’t wear them over here..especially in stinking hot summers.
  6. Crazy talk…all you do miles is try to confuse with false intellectual talk…your very good at it …..i think your a straight out stirrer…that lacks even common sense…. I shall be blocking you as I think you are a very sly man……you came on here with one purpose in mind…..so I’ll leave you too it,
  7. I agree with him as well…all this thread does is make me stronger in my personal stand
  8. Stop judging others ,,,,Miles and you are the biggest Judges here….if you have made your mind up to take blood or transplants then go ahead..do it..none of it is my business …nor what I do..is yours…..what I’m seeing here is self righteousness in the extreme…..
  9. Nope I don’t think there is one because it’s the PRINCIPLE behind the abstain from blood. You eating fractions when you eat the meat..yeah some of it’s washed with pink dye to make it look good but there is still fractions in there. jehovah knew when you bled an animal you would not get all of the blood out…but he is teaching us his right over us..the principle of the blood letting … I’ve seen a number of Roos hung up and bled with their head cut of and skinned..hardly any fat on them …but they had muscle..and the blood in them was visible …yet they had been correctly bled……...they butchered them cooked and ate them …lots of fractions in that meal….antidotes apparently have fractions in them. Some medicines do..and people don’t even know it…so stop straining the Nat and concentrate on the principle of abstaining from blood….anyway that’s how I see it…we are all different on it and going by scripture none of us are wrong. I respect your view but it’s not my view and this is where we get into not judging each other I suppose.
  10. Each must do what they feel is right…..and I’m sure it was a nightmare for the apostles and the James's of the time to explain what was and wasn’t acceptable in their worship…we just look at those scriptures differently…I guess I didn’t realise just how different we looked at things … besides all that…I sincerely hope you will be okay with your health and I mean that…I really hope things improve for you so you don’t even have to consider the above…..and nobody can judge what another does…and you should know by now I wouldn’t…..🤗
  11. No..dont twist my words and meanings…yes I said that ….but my conclusions on transfusions come from the way Jehovah viewed blood all the way thru the scriptures…thus I am not a Jamieson Christian but a scriptural one….well I’m trying to be.. I also am not fanatical ..I for one know fractions are in certain medicines and as the brothers pointed out..if one wants to be fanatical then one would not be able to have blood tests as all blood should be poured out on the ground and not used for any purpose. So this isn’t about straining the gnat…I see it as showing respect for blood as the life is in the blood….and that belongs to him. I tried many years ago to shoot holes in this….even a loop hole…sure would have made my life a lot easier. As time and science moves on..all I can say it has proven to be a highly dangerous substance and must be used with the greatest of care…speaking of that blood is not properly screened for the parasites of Lyme…which is really a pandemic in the states and across the world. They are finding hundreds of different species of just one of the parasites …still I feel as comfort my people says….my stand is based on the scriptures ALL of them… I don’t agree with the WAY we disfellowship people…Jesus set the bench mark for that when he forgave Peter….also Paul exclaimed to the Corinthian cong for being to hard on the Adulterer….and there was a danger of the man becoming over saddened……yes he gave counsel to remove him…but it is my understanding it was only a matter of months when he directed them to bring him back into the brotherhood…anyone can correct me on that. As a people we tend to beat disfellowshipped one’s down …tho I do see that slightly changing….trouble is when the GB say something it seems like a number of stiffnecked elders stick to their own thoughts…..we have new elders and I have seen ones reinstated very quickly. so my thought is everyone can do what they want…but be careful when you are responsible for a newly interested one….
  12. I get what you are saying but if the society said this then each would have to stand before Jehovah on their decision..and have done the homework……for me…well I will take the same stand as now…and again if they did that..it would come down to legal issues..not spiritual..and they would as they have to now stand before their God… It would remind me of organ transplants….and the change they had on that…if I had lost my son because of that…..I’d be furious…now you can have a heart transplant and it’s celebrated…without blood….so your thought on it is not out of the possibilities. Even now with organ transplants I’m on shakey ground….not for myself..as I’m at the end scale of life anyway..but if my son got ill and they offered him heart and lung transplant…I probably would feel relieved and want it….how does one know…I guess that scripture that says if you sin against your own conscience then it’s wrong….im too tired to find it.
  13. So Brother Rando was right.. 2026…so I could argue that means fornication and idol worship was a matter of conscience I like your speculations but I dont want to wait for ten years………tho the 120 yrs thing is a big thing in my mind.
  14. Yes I have…but I was waiting for someone else to bring it up…….
  15. That’s what you want to happen…..I see this as corrections being made…that were well overdue…for whatever reason ..I’m very grateful. Im very wary of you miles as so many on line start out warm and fuzzy..but they do not build up their former brothers and sisters but tear them down…not in a straight out way… Your scars do not give you the right to throw seeds of doubt around..endangering one’s who may themselves be struggling in this world and spiritually. You have left the organization…..that’s your decision..and I respect it…even understand it….but you should be very very careful that you yourself do not end up with blood on your hands.
  16. There won’t be an apology or a “ we should have handled that differently” as then it’s getting into legalities……I know you have been seriously hurt…and it’s a crying shame that only those with such scars really get what you are saying. Im happy for your sons too and also my grandchildren…a different era of things..and Jehovah remembers those who have drifted….he doesn’t forget them.
