"Whatever issue is raised, such as blood transfusion, it’s best to give a short answer. Eg. ‘I’m into safe medicine’. If it’s the issue of smoking – ‘I’m not into cancer!’
Evidently Splane is not into accuracy , just smart put-downs. To equate smoking/cancer to blood/AIDS etc, is just not the same . The former is a proven link that is attested to by countless cases and nobody needs to smoke. The danger from the medical use of blood is minute. If you need blood it is because your life is already endangered - no comparisom at all . In addition the WTS never clearly explains that they do run the same possible small risks if they accept the allowable "fractions" , so how are they into "safe medicine"?

Billy the Ex-Bethelite
" The brother had training from the ministry school, in the Bethel he learned how to deal with all sorts of people – so the company hired him. What was his job??He hired and fired people … those people with uni grades. "
I suppose Splane failed to mention my two friends that got "fired" from the bethel family because it is a "family" that needs to downsize. One became despondent because he was unprepared for life in the real world after about 20 years in bethel. He went in the woods and shot himself in the head. The other one was stuck with a crappy job, troubled congregation, and evidently no light at the end of the tunnel, as far as he was concerned. He killed himself a couple of weeks ago. I heard that he overdosed on pills.
Splane is a prick.

He referred to the vision of the great crowd. We have the opportunity to be part of it as it is open to all. The prophecy started its fulfilment at Pentecost 33 CE.
Say what now?

As always - too bad no recording device was converting their bits into bytes.
Those 8 GB crackheads truly have no more HS than the rest of mankind.

What a whack job Splane is.
His speaking style is the one liner, the anecdotal answer to everything.
Are you intimidated? Look them in the eye (wow, bad advice, really, esp in Ireland, you may get a beating).
Blood transfusion? No thanks, I am into SAFE medicine.
What an A-hole.

Ireland is a damn hard place to be a JDub. I know some JDub kids who got regularly attacked for being Protestants, and I know of a long serving pioneer, been there for over thirty years, who has never knocked on a door and brought that person in to the Org.
It is soul destrying I should think, but now with this "Fine upbuilding and practical advice", as it will be called by JW's, from D. Splane (I thought the D was for ****head), I am sure they are all fired up to carry on wasting their lives in the cult, instead of really living and enjoying The Craic.
