Observation by an outsider (page 2)

I hate to tell you this, and it might just be a waste of breath, but what we are doing on this board IS WORKING.

1) I have heard that as many as 50% of JW's here in this country are now accepting blood to save their lives and especially that of their children, in accordance with Jeremiah 32:35 and Galations 6:10 and Phillipians 4:8, to name just a few. ONE LIFE SAVED is enough to justify everything we have done, but I believe the number is much higher than that.

2) Young Jehovah's Witnesses are now allowed to pursue higher education, thanks in part to economic backlashes within the JW organization and to decades long effeorts of people on this board and many like us and in accordance with Galations 6:10 and Phillipians 4:8, to name just a few. ONE YOUNG MIND NOT LAID TO WASTE is enough to justify everything we have done, but I believe the numbers are higher than that.

3) As far as ego, hurt, defensive, bitter, spiteful, perhaps they would never have been this way had they not been Jehovah's Witneses or worse. JW's want to shun, insult, lie, cover up, molest, beat and batter and the list goes on and on, and then throw someobody out into 'Spiritual Gehenna', and then that person turns all these bad emotions into a force for positive change, well then JW's have no one to blame but themselves in accordance with Galations 6:7, "Do not be misled: God is not one to be mocked. For whatever a man is sowing, this he will also reap;"

As far as 'Observation by an outsider', well you just go on observing if you want to, while the rest of us DO SOMETHING saving lives and minds.

PS: Wanted to rephrase that '50%' that is NOT JW's in general, but JW's and their children in medical emergencies where blood transfusions are an issue. About half opt to take them, and I work as a nurse and I see those same percentages as well.

Life is a roller coaster. Get in, sit down, shut up and hang on!

If you're an outsider, I'm the virgin Mary.

I say you're an active JW trying to stir the pot, and I say fuck you.

A lot of that going around, huh Francoise?

Will you dare persecute me for pointing out such observations? ...will you sink to lowly personal attacks?

Your toes are curled up in hopeful anticipation, aren't they.

COMF

BTW, he's not a JW, y'all. He was on H2O some time back. I forget exactly what his spiel is, but he's got one, fer shur. I want to say it's something like AGuest's, but can't remember. But hang on, he'll steer the conversation around to it directly.
