Can someone explain what the unforgivible sin is to me? I know that it is blasphemy against the holy spirit, but what does that mean? How do you do it? How do I know that I havent done it already? In the religion I was raised in, JW, I was told that the unforgivible sin is to not be a JW. Of course I know this is bs. Could someone shed some light on this for me? Leo

Thanks for that Roy. Who is speaking here? Who is the diolog taking place bewteen?

huh?

why not? why dont they store their own blood for transfusion purposes? Is it not your own blood if it temererly leaves your body? what type of tests involing blood? I cant imagine this means a simple blood test to see if you are sick or not. If they dont store thier own blood. (still asking why not?) then what procedures are you talking about? If people are willing to do die for this rule, there must be some clearly defined rules regarding extactly what is and isnt ok to do with your OWN blood. Leonardo

So you dont see the possiblilty that they could be corrupted? The JWs that is. putting your trust in the WTS is putting your faith in man, not God. Which do you read more, the watchtower (and other JW books) or the bible? you said somewhere on another post, something to the effect that you dont follow mans traditions. Which is why I ask. would you say the watchtower is as inspired as the bible? If the bible is so simple to understand, then why does any one need a WT to explain it? do you believe that God would want to destory people, who truely love Him, but dont follow the JWs? People who read the bible but dont read the WT. People who come to thier own conclusions. Leonardo

Starbird I have a question for you. Would the JWs allow a member have his OWN blood stored for an emergancy? Leonardo

How can you be sure this hasnt happened to your religion? It is a religion run by man. The men say that God leads them, but so does everyone else. What make you think that thier way is the right way? Is it not possible that demons are influncing the Governing body? They are only men. What sets them apart from everyone else? Other religions reject the trinity doctrine, others speak of paradise earth (or heaven on earth), others know the history of christmas and of its roots. What is it about the JWs that speaks to you? What makes them right and the others wrong? Im not trying to come down on you, but I would be interested to hear your answer. Leonardo
