MufasaLion: Real foolishness is when you're pointing to others around you as wrongdoers but can't present your own group where you people are doing what is right! |

MaxInDHouse:Like I said early, you obviously know nothing about the science of blood transfusion. And you showed your ignorance in the topic. You have a right to be against any researcher. But the thing with science is that it is no respecter, of persons. 1+1=2 not minding if it's done by a faithless researcher or a faithful researcher. Scientists can argue but the science is universal. You don't need to go to church to understand gravity. So no one cares if you agree with science or not. With science, it's not about what you agree with but what you can proof. 2 Likes 1 Share |

MaxInDHouse:Thanks for quoting scripture. The only commandment about blood was not to eat blood. Remember, we don't add to the word of God. Leviticus 17:11,14 11 For the life of a creature is in the blood,(A) and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life.[a](B) 12 Therefore I say to the Israelites, “None of you may eat blood, nor may any foreigner residing among you eat blood.” 13 “‘Any Israelite or any foreigner residing among you who hunts any animal or bird that may be eaten must drain out the blood and cover it with earth,(C) 14 because the life of every creature is its blood. That is why I have said to the Israelites, “You must not eat the blood of any creature, because the life of every creature is its blood; anyone who eats it must be cut off. Act 15:29 29 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality.(A) You will do well to avoid these things. No single verse in the bible talks about blood transfusion. Unless you have a different bible. All the verses I read talk about eating of blood.QED 2 Likes 1 Share |

tctrills: There's proof that blood transfusion doesn't guarantee life! |
Re: Jw.org: 100 Years Of Failed Prophecies. by MaxInDHouse(m): 10:07am On Dec 16, 2021 |
tctrills: Back then transfusion has not been discovered so the only way people take in blood is through eating. So if abstinence from blood is what the Bible says then i believe it shouldn't be taking into the body either by eating or transfusion! |
Re: Jw.org: 100 Years Of Failed Prophecies. by tctrills: 10:22am On Dec 16, 2021 |
MaxInDHouse:so you choose to add to the bible because blood transfusion was not practiced then. So like I said earlier you created your own personal interpretation. Abstinence from blood can be interpreted to mean abstinence from blood transfusion. Another could interpret to mean, abstinence from shedding blood or from seeing blood or touching blood or a million other interpretations. This is what happens when churches give their own interpretation of God's word. God clearly told us not to eat blood. It is stated clearly but you choose to add your opinion. If God is against blood transfusion, he would reveal it. 2 Likes |

Re: Jw.org: 100 Years Of Failed Prophecies. by tctrills: 10:27am On Dec 16, 2021 |
MaxInDHouse:This does not even make any sense. No single health procedure guarantees life. No single drug guarantees life. What are you even saying? Are you suggesting that we stop every health process that does not guarantee life? We stop taking malaria drugs. we stop cancer treatments. We stop all surgeries. We stop using all kinds of drugs and we stop vaccines. I actually see you as a very intelligent person, you shouldn't be making statements like this to sell your religious opinions. 2 Likes |

MaxInDHouse:By simply telling you not to make blood transfusion simple. The danger of suggesting that when God says, abstain from blood, he was referring to blood transfusion is that another could say God was referring to touching of blood another could suggest God was referring to seeing of blood another could suggest God was talking about even mentioning blood. we would just continue suggesting for God to no end. That's crazy. 1 Like |

tctrills: So there is something known as TRANSFUSION back then, shey? You really amuse me my friend. God inspired those writing the words so there's no way you should expect Him to say things they can't comprehend like Transfusion back then. It's simply "don't eat blood" |

MaxInDHouse:Now you clearly state my point. God was not talking about transfusion. I also believe that God is not dead. If he is against transfusion. He wouldn't leave us with scripture about eating blood. If he did not talk about it, you and I have no right to add new commandments. What if I choose to say, God is against seeing Blood and I quote those same scriptures, would you agree with me? 2 Likes |

tctrills:What you understand is non of my business, our God talked about blood and warned us to abstain from it so continue with your science you'll still get there. Thousands of years ago faithless researchers claiming scientists said "the earth is flat" WHY? Because they can't decipher how people can live on anything that's not flat. At that same time our God inspired His prophet to pen it down that the earth is a circle! Isaiah 40:22 They also claim that the earth was resting on some huge animals when God inspired Moses to pen it down that the earth is hanging upon nothing! Job 26:7 So relax my friend, when that time comes your so called scientists will apologize once again telling everyone that they are wrong about blood transfusion while God's word is right as usual! |
Re: Jw.org: 100 Years Of Failed Prophecies. by achorladey: 10:48am On Dec 16, 2021 |
tctrills: As simple as this explanation is, he will not accept it since it is not coming from the religious leaders that guides and control his regimented thinking. I like your use of the word SUGGESTION. His religious leaders in their quest to SUGGEST for God allow members to accept for blood fractions transfusions despite knowing that the scripture says ABSTAIN FROM BLOOD. His intelligence cannot see these things except his religious leaders states so. Should we ask him, where in the scripture it was stated that BLOOD FRACTIONS TRANSFUSIONS is acceptable? He will go into his usual unending narratives. |

MaxInDHouse: As long as you know that your God's viewpoint about abstaining from blood you and your likes don't follow that viewpoint. The numerous words about blood transfusion in your publications and actions and inactions of those LIASON committees set up to manage medical procedures relating to blood shows you are not abstaining from blood transfusion be it whole or the fractions. |

tctrills: We read, study and meditate! The writers can't understand what transfusion is since it doesn't exist in their own time, so it's the scholars that will use their God's given brains to figure out the PRACTICAL APPLICATION. We say it's having nothing to do with blood from other sources, we're not forcing our beliefs on you so if you don't agree with us go and practice what you want! |
Re: Jw.org: 100 Years Of Failed Prophecies. by tctrills: 10:58am On Dec 16, 2021 |
MaxInDHouse:Exactly my point. This is what happens when we depend on our brains to understand God's words. because we all have different ways of thinking, we all come up with different explanations. You remind me of the story of the 7 blind men that touched an elephant. one touch the body and said the elephant is like a wall. Another touch the tail and said the elephant is like a rope. Another felt the limb and said the elephant is like a tree. And so on. When you depend on human wisdom, you come up with a million different explanations. 2 Likes |
