Episode 014 Paying the Jehovah's Witnesses a visit, blood atonement doctrine, and overly-eager new friends
This episode we go knocking on the door of the local Kingdom Hall and pay a surprise visit to the Jehovah's Witnesses. It was time to turn the tables. We meet a lot of really friendly people who would very much like to visit with us more...VERY much! We sit through a really long service and study the exciting book of Leviticus. We learn why leukemia patients shouldn't be one of Jehovah's Witnesses (or anyone that might need a life-saving blood transfusion, for that matter). We talk about the real dangers of submitting personal safety and well-being to the dictates of one organization with a simplistic, narrow view of God's Word. And, finally, we discuss the real dangers of the Christian doctrine of blood atonement, and why we believe it is so fundamentally flawed and broken as a system of understanding the redeeming work that Jesus lived out and for which he ultimately gave his life. Grab a glass of wine (or vodka...we had both on this podcast) and let us help diffuse some of the mystery around this sect.
