chimex38: Doctrinal Changes And Effect On Personal Judgement
This is a fallout from the recent adjustment on blood transfusion from JW which other doctrinal adjustments also happens in every other religion as well.
Have you been reading /studying the Watchtower since the late 1970/1980's?
Numerous Watchtower articles in the 1980s have given the same info that the Jw broadcast tv update #2 emphasized for clarity. The news media claimed it is "recent adjustment" but that news report is not true.
2mch: They are commenting with several usernames backing themselves up. This guy vehemently against blood transfusion is now claiming to have done it and it’s not good. Then they have gone to edit their website to prevent lawsuit.
You see these churches, they only care about their bank account and will do anything to preserve their business while preaching false doctrines which do not exist in the Bible to control you.
Your last paragraph,is that your own church ? Just asking.......
advanceDNA: This is a desperate and a very-close-to weird explanation…it is very far from context just as your organisation’s interpretation of the scripture is very far from context…..
The scripture talked about eating animals but dont eat the blood…how did u arrive at blood transfusion??
Blood performs the same function in humans and animals. God doesn't make distinction between their function in both the body of humans and animals.
Your bible says "ABSTAIN from blood.". Abstain means Abstain. Abstain from fornication,says your Bible. Do you think that oral action is ok,because your Bible didn't say "Abstain from oral action"? This is similar position you base your view about transfusion
Your bible verse also says " do not eat the blood of any creature". Oga, Is man a creature? Yes.
The analogy already stated is irrefutable. Blood is sacred,in case you don't know . God is wiser than all of us.
Kalulu44: First of all I don't even have any belief or religion I adhere to. But for one religion or belief to tell his or her followers not to do what we save their lives is absolutely absurd, take it or leave it
Oga,did the law says an adult have the fundamental right to choose the medical treatmentment they prefer? Yes.
JW's love to save their lives & chose the medical option we prefer,which the law & medical science AGREE we can chose.. Medical treatments to chose from are many & diverse.
It's bias to come online & criticize,bash the choice of medical treatment (recognized by law & medical professionals) an adult has decided for himself.. God bless.
Janosky: Oga, when the law stipulates , "don't take drink or drive under the influence of....." You know what .
When you inject those substances into your body,& drive your car under the influence of" ,have you obeyed the law , "don't drink & drive under influence ?
Just asking for a friend....
IsraeliAIRFORCE: Stop taking the scriptures out of context. You're not a Hebrew or Greek speaker and never understand the New Testament you quoted. For clarity sake, see... Acts 15:20 AMPC But we should send word to them in writing to abstain from and avoid anything that has been polluted by being offered to idols, and all sexual impurity, and [eating meat of animals] that have been strangled, and [tasting of] blood.
Go and learn about the advances on bloodless medicine,medical professionals acknowledge & eulogise the contributions of JW's for the great impact their beliefs have had on the advancement of medical research & public health .
advanceDNA: Baba…. There was no transfusion in the time when the instruction was given …I'm curious as to why your organization thinks the interpretation of that instruction means dont participate in blood transfusion…. Correct me if im wrong..is it not the same deut 12v23? The context of that verse from the top is pretty clear, talking about eating of animal meat bu not the blood…. Again, im really curious how your organisation arrived at blood transfusion in interpreting a simple verse/chapter??
Oga, when the law stipulates , "don't take drink or drive under the influence of....." You know what .
When you inject those substances into your body,& drive your car under the influence of" ,have you obeyed the law , "don't drink & drive under influence ?
MaobiCarl: So Where's the lie in the original post?
Do you guys take blood transfusions before or not? Is it the scriptures or the governing body that updated the policy on "no blood transfusions" to allow taking your own stored blood through transfusions, today?
The governing body interprets the scriptures for you because you guys have no brains or probably can't read the bible, right? How did a symbol of life become the essence of life?? This isn't an update but a total change of blood doctrine invented by a drunkard trying not be part of the world Best advise to you is store up ur blood in a blood bank.. You may need it in the future
I no get your time joor....
If you get liver go & REMOVE JW's broadcast TV Update #2 which referenced the year 2000 Watchtower edition, the same info on the Update #2 video.
Year 2000 to 2026 is 26 years. Oga, you are deceiving yourself.
madegreatbygrace: 'And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.'
I John 5:20
" Pls take note of this sentence of 1 John 5:20.
That we may know Him who is true (Yahweh the only true God)..... This is the true God".
Jesus Christ and John the apostle can NOT contradict themselves. Any genuine rendition of 1 John 5:20 MUST agree,align with John 17:3 not contradict it
Kobojunkie: Please stop spamming me with what is obviously bullsheet abeg!
Deuteronomy 10:17 "Yahweh is the God of gods (His sons, Jesus +angels+men). Psalms 82:6 " Yahweh calls his sons (such as Jesus) gods". Psalms 82:6. Did Jesus agree with Psalms 82:6 & Deuteronomy 10:17? Yes, @ John 10:34-36. Jesus is a god,he said so himself @ John 10:34-36. Therefore,your Trinitarian copy of John 1:1 nah wash. Screenshot evidence.
Lovelink1991: For your information the presenter who explain it on the video is a JW and he read it from the brochure. It has nothing to do with YouTube link but the content from your brochure. You have not watch and correct the wrong or approve it, you are from a far distance condemning it. You are not current about the happenings in JW
Oga, the TikTok video did not emanate from JW's broadcast tv .
I have refered you to the correct Source, Update #2 ,(18 minutes video from JW broadcast tv ) you dey show me TikTok link.
MaobiCarl: After decades of martyr, public backslash and high mortality among members of named sect. Jehovah's Witnesses conscience or lifestyle directors (Governing body) has finally agreed to let there members accept blood transfusions at point of death.
Although this new update comes with conditions. Blood transfusions is still blood transfusions, whether is your blood, relatives blood or a strangers blood. Will they apologise for thousand of faithful adherents who preferred to die than save there lives medically? No They've never apologised for deceiving anyone rather they'll blame staunch members for doing too much...
ExudeLoveToAll: All of a sudden you now have this interpretation , what was your interpretation two years ago? Was it same interpretation if not something is fundamentally wrong with all of you. You guys are lucky you aren't prosecuted for negligence and willfully causing the de.ath of minors. If you hold all these stands for yourself and then you unalived yourself no problem but to do this to a child is barbaric.
Oga, go and watch the 18 minute video on Update 2 from JW broadcast TV & get the correct info.
MetalJigsaw: In the same passage, Jesus said he's the Lord of David who is the ancestor of the scibes questioning him.
How Can David Call His Descendant Lord?
#35 Then Jesus answered and said, while He taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?
#36 For David himself said by the Holy Spirit:
‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’
#37 Therefore David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; how is He then his Son?”
Jesus is God along with the Father John 17 v 5
John 17:5 reads: "And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
This verse marks the end of Jesus' earthly ministry, as He prays for the restoration of His pre-incarnate, eternal glory and divine fellowship with the Father.
Key Details About John 17:5: Context: This is part of Jesus' "High Priestly Prayer" in the Upper Room Discourse, just before His crucifixion.
Significance: It highlights Christ's divinity, pre-existence, and the Trinity, as He existed before creation.
Jesus is obviously not asking for new glory, but rather the full
The glory in John 17:5,7 is shared by the disciple, God and Jesus at John 17:22. Jesus said "I have given them (disciples) the glory you have given me " (in John 17:5,7). Oga, your claim is not true. According to John 17:22,Jesus , the disciples and God are one" sharing the same glory. Or Do you have more knowledge than Jesus Christ?
MetalJigsaw: In other words, no answer. There is nowhere in the Bible that states that, correct? You're just adding your own monologue.
If we claim to be a Christian We need to be as honest as we can when it comes to God's word. The truth should always come first.
Jesus is our great God!. Titus 2:13
