Seems ironic that bovine hemoglobin would be acceptable in life saving circumstances and JWs refer to themselves as "sheep." Seems like the all-powerful all-wise GB have decided the JWs who obey them have more in common with cattle or livestock than independent, logical, thinking human beings and sadly by the time the WT has finished fully indoctrinating them it's probably true.

Blood Issue.......something for thought, where is the logic.
by CovertsadJW ini have yet to read about the contradictions in the jw teachings on blood, but i have personally witnessed one.
i am a medical professional and have seen hemopure administered for an active jw who did refuse a blood transfusion.
its not fda approved here, but given in special life saving circumstances.

"Jehovah" and the less emphasized "Jesus." WHY?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthere has always been less emphasis on jesus, and more on the name jehovah.
if jesus played for the wtbts baseball team, he would play right field.
he would be good enough to start but by playing right field, he wouldn't see too many baseballs hit his way.

Yep, they lure you in with tasty, comforting chips, guac and a cold beer then the main turns out to be dry toast of GB rules and a shitty pudding cup of GB worship for dessert.

Has Politics Changed How You View Your Entertainment?
by minimus inwhen i watch a tv show or movie or even a ball game, i don’t want to be deluged with matters involving politics.
entertainers and sports heros should stick to doing what people pay them for.
entertain us and just do your job!.

Maybe politics has always been inserted into movies and television in the past and I just didn't notice it because it was more subtle. I'm not sure but...
Now, there are things I just can't, correction; won't, watch anymore because it feels like being beaten with a gigantic lefty stick in the most obvious and heavy-handed emotionally charged - fact poor way that it makes me cringe facepalm and angry all at the same time.
Well, you asked.

Jesus is only there as a cardboard cutout and window dressing as far as I can see.

Not King as I'm sure neither would want that and I don't believe in "kings" but pivotal apostates for sure.

Poor Sister Dorothy T Dinosoar hard way to find out that when Jehovah doesn't give a shit about you anymore he "allows" you to "become extinct."
Next they'll be saying Jehovah was the first guy to say "make it rain" because... the flood

In JW delusion land "Be courageous and very strong" is the uplifting theme to their annual propoganda rally.
Meanwhile back in reality "Be cowardly and very wrong on just about everything" is the way JW's actually live their so-called life of servitude to the borg.

Satan is "bullying" you through family
by neat blue dog injust thought i'd share this ridiculous picture from a recent watchtower.
in recent years, the word bullying has been thrown around a lot, and often misused by instigators and subtle bullies themselves.
in this picture we learn that your loving family who wants to continue sharing a family tradition with you, who hands you a beautifully wrapped present with a smile on their face, is in fact bullying you.

Were These People “Demonized” or Simply Mentally Ill?
by minimus init seems that every congregation had a problem with people being affected by the demons.
looking back i have to wonder was it that more people were emotionally or mentally unbalanced?
or they simply off their medications or were they in need of meds?.

Huh, a demon that's horny and pillowy - every JW's wet dream.

I'd say in the "new system" (ugh) all activities that carry the risk of inadvertent arousal will be eliminated.
