WOW... BORED LISTING sound like "legalism" and no heart! BORED LIFE and NO FUN!!!!! Salvation did not say good work by salvation. Salvation said that it is grace by salvation! PERIOD

JW needs to get out of our USA country since JW's listing says, "72. You cannot support your country" Wow... IT could be part of terriorist??? huhuhuh??????????????? Who taught JW not to support our country?? join with Muslim???? USA should kick JW out of our country!!!! WE put JW in Iraq!

THROWSTONES

Nobody said "we cannot support our country" but the bible tells us not to partake in violence and war is violence so we don't go to war, and the bible says not to give our allegiance to anyone but god so we don't pledge our allegiance to the flag... we believe that the only form of government that will ever succeed is one ruled by god and not by people, hence why we don't vote.

I'm not lying, we are incouraged not to associate with people who do bad things... but there is no rule against associating with people who aren't JW's.
I dont do bad things and they cant talk to me cuz im not J.W. :fu2:


We only go door to door to teach people about the bible so they can make their own changes for the better, the only way for someone to survive armageddon is to have a good heart, so some JW's wont make it if they aren't good people in their hearts, and some people who don't even know who JW's are will make it if they ARE good people in their hearts... we don't believe that people can judge others hearts, only god can see into your heart and so only he has the right to judge you. What will good it do to us ??

After I learned all these things, I will never see them again. I just simply told them that I have my own church.
I'm not surprised about that list. I heard about a lot of them from a couple of guys who were loitering around the dorms a couple years back.

Yep, they actually violate RIT's privacy by loitering and going door-to-door in the dorms when they're not supposed to. In fact, I've had to report on a few of them when I saw them going in and out of various floors. Yep, they're banned from RIT. ;)

I am too paraniod to trust blood transfusion since happeend to AIDs, HIV etc.
They test on the blood first to see if it is clear of AIDS. HIV and etc before they do a tranfusion on a person.
 
Liebling:-))) said:
Yes, that's right but I would like to add cons and pro...

Yes, the doctors don't like if they learn that you are a JW because they have to "stress" to save your blood instead of let you lost your blood and get transfusion on you.

They releived if you are not a JW because they can do what they want with you and can use blood tranfusion on you.
It is not that the doctor can do anything with a patient he wants to but my opinion is that the doctors prefer to know whether or not a patient is a JW so he cannot be sued after the patient signs on a form saying he is a JW. If the patient is a JW then the doctor will not give him a blood tranfusion. If the patient happened to lose a lot of blood and he dies, the doctor could be sued for not saving his life but with the signed form the doctor will not be sued.

Yes, I'm agree with you that blood tranfusion is only answer to save mothers and babies's life who lost a lot of blood than doctors tried to save their blood... I HAVE to accept blood tranfusion when I feel not like to have it because I want my family ALIVE...
Hell yea, I am so thankful that I am not a JW or my precious daughter wouldn't be here with me right now.

If they are nice people, why go door to door and talk to other people? Why leave pamplets everywhere? I see booklets and pamplets in laundromats, locker rooms, gyms, clubs, etc. They go door to door... even when it's obvious that the person is following a different religion or something.
I remember years ago when some JWs came to my parents' home and they tried to sell us their pamplets for 25 cents each. We kept telling them that we belong to another church and we weren't interested to convert ourselves to JW but boy they were so stubborn to listen to us. They only think of themselves.

I looked at the list that CyberRed referred and noticed number #72. You cannot support your country.. I'm wondering, why JW people live in America (our country) if they don't support it? Huh?!?! :-/ Just like they don't favor America flag as well.

Yes, there is very legalism. That's sad! Legalism is no peace and no joy.
