  ann...oh you are so right that is exactly how it went down!

  i actually compared it to transplants and other such procedures....i reminded her that all medical procedures have a risk associated with them. i will focus on the vaccines and such next time...where in the bible does it break down fractions? she will be stumped.

  she is planning to continue this blood discussion next week. i may just ask about menstruation. us ladies aremt exactly pouring it out in the dirt....why would jehovah make us bleed so much? just want to hear her response to that...

  Voluntary Donations - Not Really Mentioned Anymore?

  my active jw wife has gone to all meetings, assemblies, memorials, and service groups by herself after i faded off the radar about 5 years ago.

  i asked her this past saturday as she prepared to join another sister from the kh for the service group regarding, voluntary donations.

  i inquired if publishers still mention this to the householder when placing literature.

  oh blondie...how insane that all sounds. i did read they used to liken organ transplants to cannibalism and vaccines to the devil...to know my husband is so blind to this stuff amd has put everything into the religion now is just so hard to take. this stuff is nutz.

  ding yes!!!! that is also what she kept saying: the light gets brighter!! other religions hide when they are wrong but jws admit it! i told jer they kinda had to with the whole end of world not coming several times. i alsoemtioned organ transplants and vaccines...she said the whole imperfect man line, so i asked her if they were wrong about organs amd vaccines, how do we know that as imperfect men they are npt wrong about other things like blood?

  ann...ya it makes no sense and the fact that she couldnt support in bible alone and that the reasoning book even said eating did not help...she kept repeating herself.

  so, thanks to jwfacts, i went over the list of acceptable.blood fractions woth her. she agreed with them. i then asked her if she was aware that if someone took each allowed fraction it would equal whole blood? she said that you cant take it all at once? i asked for her referemce and where it was in the bible, it was during this part of the convo that she said the stuff about blood giving the recipient the addictions of the person the blood came from.

  just a bizarre response...and then followed with how i would come to understand jehovah hates blood by prayer and study....
