    The JW's that come to to the door are never up front about Jesus who is really an angel called Michael. They talk about Jehovah and his plan for his people and the Kingdom. You have to prompt them to explain the son they never come out upfront with the truth about Jehovah's son.

    If the soteriology of Christianity contradicts that of the Watchtower both cannot be correct. You are not a hate filled to point this out the same goes with Islam. How salvation may be obtained through islam contradicts the bible, pointing this out does not make one hate filled and malicious towards Muslims.

    It is an immature argument to push. If you make a truth claim that contradicts another it is not a statement of hatred about the counter party.

    The initial post you made No. 14142409 was stating that blood is sacred again the issue of it being an absolute or subjective, the sanctity of blood was your original post. But leave it it is obviously a topic that has you uncomfortable

    the question about electrocution revolves around the personhood of the Holy Spirit. The watchtower taught it was just an energy or force the attributes of the Spirit found in the scripture are that of a person.


    Living as Children of Light …
    Ephesians 4:30
    29 Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. 30Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.…

    Impersonal forces are not what you would claim as a candidate to feel aggrieved. It was not "what" you were sealed by for the day of redemption it was by whom.

    The god of the Watchtower is Unitarian in the sense that Jehovah existed all alone for eternity past until he created the archangel Michael

    The Christian theology is not the same as the Watchtower, Jesus coexisted for eternity with the Father and Holy Spirit. This loving relationship existed for eternity between the Father Son and Holy Spirit.

    Pointing out that the Jehovah worshipped by the Witnesses is a different god one that Christians do not acknowledge does not equate to hate filled bigotry. Likewise if the soteriology contradicts it is not something that one feels malicious intent toward an individual if salvation is curtailed it is not a joyous moment to contemplate.

    the concept of the deity of Christ and the personhood of the Spirit are fairly basic points of differentiation between the WatchTower and Christianity.

    I assumed by your brainwashed comments directed at me you understood these fairly basic dividing lines.

    Ok. I will leave it at that.

    As for how many children have died because the blood ritual of the watchtower, the organisations own official publication the Awake magazine seemed to have pumped up and Glorified these dead kids. With each rejection of a life saving blood transfusion by a faithful and discrete slave of the watchtower another needless death is chalked up on the alter, so it's a growing number of child sacrifices until the Watchtower repudiates the teaching. After all it's not like they haven't done major back flips on doctrine in the past.
