Religion & Spirituality - 7 November 2007

it seems that most my greatest advasaries have been deleted or suspended. R&S was being overrun by HYPOCRITES, evil atheists, and people PRETENDING to be Christians when their words and actions showed otherwise. I am very happy with this new system.

"There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone, in fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this there is no catharsis, my punishment continues to elude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself; no new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing."

oh yeah, 10 pts. to whoever identifies it first...

Jehovah's Witnesses drop transfusion banTransfusions will no longer lead to expulsion
By the BBC's Religious Affairs Correspondent Jane Little
Leaders of the Jehovah's Witnesses movement have revoked a strict ruling that their members automatically face ex-communication if they accept blood transfusions.
Jehovah's Witnesses: facts
An unorthodox Christian sect
Based in New York
6m members in more than 200 countries
Founded in 1884
They took the controversial decision at a secret meeting in New York, following years of recrimination from ex-members and non-Jehovah's Witnesses over the ban.

The religious community insists that receiving blood is still wrong.

But under the changes, transfusions have been relegated to "non-disfellowshipping events" - in other words you will not be thrown out of the religion if you have one.

That may come as cold comfort to many who have watched loved ones die because they refus

The one who gives to the poor because of a belief in G-d?

or

The one who gives to the poor without a belief in G-d?

Is it really possible to say one of these is a believer and the other is not? (In Judaism, believing has the context of doing what is taught.)

You are so quick to portray God as a harsh and unmeriful God. Why because he disciplines?
can't a loving father discipline his children?
do you discipline your own children?
If it wasn't for Gods love and discipline I wouldn't be where i am now. I would be dead or in jail.
Praise and Glory to his name for ever and ever Amen!

So is the fact that the WBTS lessesd the penalty on dicipline for receiving a blood transfusion 7 years ago "Old News"?

I don't remember it being announced in any of the magazxines or publications.

Is this like when they said it was ok to have Organ transplants, or to receive Vaccinations?


Will it go something like this: Having a blood transfusion was a Disfellowshipping offense....Now it is a Disassosciating offense...

From a disassosciating offense ..to a matter of consciense....

From a matter of conseience to a command to follow the "New Light" and a commmand to partake

From "New Light" command to..a disfellowshipping offense for not having a blood transfusion and considered suicide...?


We all have watched this pattern with other Witness edicts...What abouyt this one...We all can see this coming!

I know that there are members of some religious groups who look forward to the End Times, because they can't wait for the flawed world we live in to be done away with and replaced by a perfect one. I think it's sad, really. Sure, our world is VERY flawed, but it's mainly because we make it that way. Our ozone layer is being depleted and our ice caps are melting, because we're too lazy and/or indifferent to really do anything about it. There are conflicts taking place around the world, mainly because some people can't think for themselves and as a result they support bad leaders who start the conflicts. I know the world will never be perfect, but it's the only one we live in. I say that we should focus on the here and now and try to find solutions to our problems rather than letting it all go to pot in the hope that the Apocalypse will take place.

Darwin Wrote if my theory be true numberless intermediate varieties linking most closely all the species of the same group together must have existed consequently evidence of their former existence could be found only amongst fossil remains.Scientist have done numerous experiments on mutation and found that it damages DNA,so lets say that eventually the DNA changed mended its self or became new there would be freakish circus freak half bear dolphins and half deer giraffe running around in different mutated stages and as Darwin said himself about mutation and how things evolve their existence would be found in fossils.Has anyone discovered the bones of a half deer giraffe creature?Why do we not see the fossils of these transitional forms?

If your answer is yes then why do you think there are so many caste differences in the world we live in ? Why do people discriminate? Even if you are from the same country but totally from a different religion people seem to have a secluded and "not of my religion" type attitude?

For one thing, God is supposed to be timeless or outside of time. For him everything has already happened, so what sense does it make to say that times were different for him? They weren't. Plus you say he's unchanging.

For another thing, why would the "free will" of those who were violent in that time make God violent as well? Is his behavior dictated by his creations?
