    I need "the best" quotes from WTBTS, preferably in publicly available publications. Regards:

    - Not questioning the WTBTS

    - Idem regards blood

    - Let your child die (the most recent quote as possible)

    - Apostates are mentally diseased (worse wording even better)

    - Children with non-believing parents

    - Raising your children not to question the WTBTS (I know this may be far fetched)

    - JW's don't have to listen/adhere to the 'worldly' authorities

    I promise more will be coming regards how this plays out... hopefully soon (which in legal terms means several months). I was hoping this would take 1 or 2 pages of short quotes. Whole articles that require you to read into it are too much for legal proceedings.

    Blood

    " Therefore the eating of blood is equated with idolitry and fornication, things that we should not want to engage in "___Reasoning book page 71

    " Similarly, any food to which whole blood or even some blood fraction has been added should not be eaten."___Reasoning book page 71

    The Real Value of Blood

    " As for the various fractions derived from those components and products that contain such fractions___the Bible does not comment on these____August Awake 2006 Title: Blood Why so Valuable ?

    Jehovah's Witnesses

    What beliefs of jehovah's witnesses set them apart from other religions?

    " (1) ............instead of adhering to a creed based on human tradition, they hold to the Bible as the standard for all thier beliefs."________Reasoning book page 199

    Question : If the Bible did not comment on fractions, Then whose belief was it written in the Reasoning book

    These are not recent, but it shows that the WTS made up stuff that caused people to die needlessly

    The reason: Going to court because the JW parent broke the custody agreement, didn't notify the other ("worldly") parent regards medical treatment, child care being changed from a state-accredited child care to a private (older "sister") JW home without permission from the court, insults towards the other parent in front of the child, isolating the child from the worldly parent and worldly friends etc.

    I got a bunch of nice quotes through jwfacts.com but that dates mostly from the 60's and 80's and only has a few recent publications.

    Here are the things I was looking for some updated quotes for:

    On contact with “worldly people” (outsiders):

    "While some contact with worldly people is unavoidable - at work, at school, and otherwise-we must be vigilant so as to keep from being sucked back into the death-dealing atmosphere of this world." Watchtower 1987 Sep 15 pp.12-14

    "Any recreation you take outside of school should not be with worldly youths." Watchtower 1964 Sep 1 p.535 Article written specifically for youths

    On independent thinking:

    "Avoid questioning the counsel that is provided by God's visible organization. some who point out that the organization has had to make some adjustments before, and so they argue: "This shows that we have to make up our own mind on what to believe." This is independent thinking." Watchtower 1983 Jan 15 p.22

    "The point is that [Jehovah’s Witnesses] have implicit trust in their heavenly Father; they do not question what he tells them through his written Word and organization." Watchtower 1974 Jul 15 p.441

    On leaving the religion:

    "Disfellowshipping serves as a powerful warning example to those in the congregation, since they will be able to see the disastrous consequences of ignoring Jehovah's laws. [Do] not converse with such one or show him recognition in any way ... Walk away from him. In this way he will feel the full import of his sin." Watchtower 1963 Jul 1 p.411,413

    On medical issues:

    "Jehovah's witnesses do not argue that blood transfusions have not kept alive patients who otherwise might have died." Blood, Medicine and The Law of God p.38

    "In former times thousands of youths died for putting God first. They are still doing it, only today the drama is played out in hospitals and courtrooms, with blood transfusions the issue." Awake! 1994 May 22 p.2

    "As Christian witnesses of Jehovah, her parents, Darrell and Rhoda Labrenz, correctly viewed blood transfusion as a violation of God's law and thus opposed it. They were concerned about their baby's eternal welfare, for everlasting life is the prospect only of those adhering to God's laws." Yearbook 1975 p.224

    "But suppose one's wife or child were near death. Giving blood, no matter who the loved one might be, would still constitute a violation of God's law. Just because one is near death, this does not give one liberty to break God's commands. When one is near death is no time to tamper with or violate the law of God, but a time to draw as near as possible to God by remaining faithful. Everlasting life is the reward for faithfulness. How foolish it would be to gamble away the prospect of life eternal for the very uncertain promise of a cure by blood transfusion!" Watchtower 1970 Apr 15 p.249
