Thanks jwfacts. I appreciate your polite comments regarding my post. I also appreciate your site. It was the second site (and the main one) that opened my eyes (the first one being quotes-watchtower.co.uk)

@ blacksheep: I have verified everything I read on "apostate" website. I remember telling a non-baptized but raised JW friend that "I will only look at WT material I can verify on my own. Scans can be messed with". I was scared of the possibility of photoshop (I don't blame myself - just skeptical). I started collecting old bound volumes, brochures, books, etc. Now I can verify everything!

Some JWs are WAY to gullible and believe everything they read online, often times because they are pissed about something in the ORG. Luckily, my parents encouraged me to get a college degree. With graduate degree under my belt, I have learned, in schoo,l HOW to research. That is the best thing college taught me - independent though process and research methods!

wha happened?

In research as I wasn'r around back then, I don't remember finding an outright order saying no, but I do remember all the articles and illustrations presenting vaccinations full of poisen and pus, and that the public was getting fooled by the wealthy into taking it.

The US Medican boards are a joke anyway.

I recall there was controversy in the early 50s, I remember some thinking that certain vaccines were prepped with blood, which made them forbidden. My youngest brother almost died from getting vaccinated (whooping cough), so my mother stopped vaccinating us, but it was not JW-related by then.

Polio is coming back because many many parents are not vacinating their kids. For those who dont know you contract polio from human POO not thoroughly washing you hands after you have taken a dump.

turtleturtles querry and jwfacts response, and the civil way it was handled, just makes this site what it is , and of course other contributors who seek to clarify matters makes this site what it is A GEM . I am proud to be a part of it . You could NEVER have discussions like this in the BORG.

I would like to add that with my introduction to the witnesses in late 1959 vaccines were definetly a no no and the reason mamochan cites blood or blood derivatives were used to produce the vaccine .

Band on the Run

My mom forged my father's name and took us to the doctor's office to get vaccinated. We were told, upon pain of serious punishment, to never tell him what happened. Not that he would ever ask what we did anyday.

He refused both the Salk and Sabine vaccines. There was some mention of problems about family members of those who received the live virus. I prob. was confused. I feared he would die. We begged him to get vaccinated. The entire neighborhood showed up one night at school to get the vaccine. I cried that he would get polio. The teachers were very big on vaccines.

This may have been a Bethel idea. He had some notions from Bethel that may not have been the rule, in general.

Others will know.
