And, see, I find that batshit crazy. Anyone that knows one iota of Science, knows that is not true.
Lets see what the medical folks on here have to say about blood transfusions.....
Actually a lot of surgeons will tell you bloodless surgeries are more successful and have far less complications post surgery. Maybe there are some doctors on here who care to weigh in …
1.) Do you have any data on how many doors you have to knock before you make a convert?
For example, do you have to knock on 1,000 doors per new convert?
2.) What happens to non-Jehovas Witnesses when they die?
Thanks.
I'd love to look into every religion's CRM and see their sales conversion rate. You cath's on SalesForce?
All I can tell you is worldwide there is 5-6k per week that are becoming Jehovah’s witnesses. I’ve never looked at is an a competition to see who makes the most disciples but a collective effort.
Regardless if one person ever does become one of Jehovah’s witnesses I’m happy knowing I just followed Christs command to preach . Besides God is the one who draws people to him.
Just give your data about "a lot of surgeons". I'm seriously not trying to pick on you. I just don't buy it.
The only data I know is that for every 1 person that converts to Catholicism in America, 6 Catholics leave the Church.
I’d welcome anyone on here who is a medical professional to weigh in.
I don’t claim Jehovahs witnesses are infallible . We “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”(Romans 3:23)
I do however know we try to practice what the Bible teaches. We do not support worldly politics, stay neutral in the world’s wars and social issues and try to be advocates of Gods Kingdom. We also strictly adhere to God’s commands in regards to morality .
Thankfully only God can read hearts and He will be the judge .
Fair question, because I have asked Brian the same question regarding me being agnostic.
Fair enough. I just never felt comfortable doing living wills / Medical Power of Attorneys for JWs. I did them. But I thought they were not sane.
They end up just like those who are Jehovahs witnesses ..they sleep in the common grave of mankind, awaiting Jesus promise of a resurrection.
A small group are given immortal life in the heavens to rule with Christ in his heavenly kingdom. (Revelation 14:1; Revelation 5:9,10)
As to who is given a resurrection , God is the judge, and he decides who’s worthy. Jesus and Paul both said there would be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous.
They’re sane I assure you . They just value loyalty to God in the highest way possible. His command that we abstain from blood is a central point to the faith We want the best care possible as long as it doesn’t interfere with Gods clear command to abstain from blood .
Thanks for the info!
So, one doesn't need to be a Jehovah's Witness to go to Heaven?
Why become a Jehovah's Witness then?
I said a small group of individuals would be given the privilege of going to heaven. The Bible states it as 144,000(Revelation 14:1)
The rest of faithful mankind, including those who died centuries ago , like the prohets await the earthly resurrection to live here under paradise conditions. (Revelation 7:9,10;13-17)
117 billion people have lived on earth.....but yeah.....only 144,000 go to heaven
It’s the principle here.
God’s ancient people the Israelites and later Christian’s were commanded to abstain from eating for sure but by extension medical use as well. So we avoid taking blood not only in obedience to God but also out of respect for him as the Giver of life.
Not my number .
Just going by what the good book says.
Besides the part people forget is the hope of the “great crowd” an unknown number of faithful humans who will live on earth forever in paradise. I’m ok with that being a consolation prize as I don’t consider myself as one of those with the heavenly hope
Begins after God’a war of Armageddon
After the destruction of Satans system of things and those who support his ruler ship, including all man’s earthly governments that oppose God’s Kingdom, and His chosen ruler Jesus Christ
No. Nothing in the scripture you provided any explanation. This is what happens when cult culture listen's to someone's extrapolation of the "word".
You are making up stuff at this point.
So you think the command to abstain from blood is made up ? Paul making that up in your opinion? Abstaining to me mean abstaining in all forms m, consuming it either orally or intravenously.
No. Jesus himself said only God knows the day and hour. As you know however he did provide clues that we would be living in the last days for us to know that times very near.
Matthew chapter 24 is a good place to start , and 2Tim 3:1-5 describes world. Conditions and attitudes we would see in the last days .
Correct.
Hell is the common grave of mankind.
Not a place of fiery torment. Such a place would go completely contrary to God’s dominant quality of love , not only that but would make him a liar, as you know he told Adam his penalty for disobeying was death . Not a place of unending torment
Jesus said Hell is eternal fire.

Bible Gateway passage: Matthew 25:40-45 - New International Version
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and...

This is where I have problem with organized religion. To think that folks 2000 years ago are more intelligent than what is proven factually now.
