our dog needed some serius surgery recently & my wife (still in) was very concerned that if he needed a blood transfusion she thought this would constitute a misuse of blood.
i was stunned as never heard of this.. is this a thing?
i left 12 years ago & wondered if it's always been or introduced in the years after my leaving.. any info would be great.. phats.
It's ironic:
JWs can take something made from cows blood, who have died, and this if anything is closer to a violation of the command to give life back when it is taken by pouring the blood out after killing an animal. However, JWs can't take blood from a human who didn't die to give it.

Yes I'm not sure if they've repeated that any time more recently, but since it's still 'in the books' and hasn't been replaced it's still technically law. My COTBOE mentioned this in a talk just a few years ago and was saying how important it was to know the ingredients of dog food, not give your dog a transfusion during an operation, etc.
It's ridiculous because if it's wrong to use blood as fertilizer then why did God say to pour it on the ground? If it's wrong to feed it to animals, then why do carnivores always eat meat with the blood? If animals are under the same laws as JW humans, then why should we let chickens practice polygamy, miss meetings, or masturbate pigs, etc. for animal husbandry
we're all used to calling the watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvania by the abbreviations wtbts or wts, but in a recent jwdotorg article, they consistently refer to the original pennsylvania corporation as wtpa.. https://www.jw.org/en/news/releases/by-region/russia/jehovahs-witnesses-seizure-of-property-appeal-case/.
truth_b_known and AbusedandPissed:
Yes, there are a number of secondary corporations like the WTS of NY, Florida, Canada, Christian Congregation of JWs, etc. But what we're talking about here is the main original one: WTS of Pennsylvania that Russell started. It isn't just used for legal issues, it holds the copyright to nearly ALL publications, owns loads of property and much more.

I didn't watch it yet. Maybe in reference to the "promise" every congregation makes when they pledge a yearly amount to the society. If they don't deliver on the amount, a local needs part is supposed to be given.

It's typically the first Monday of every month, so should be in about 5 days.

i come out with the nwt and ask who wants to talk about the bible.
if you don't want to talk about the bible why the fuck did you knock and counting time.
Touchy touchy JunkYardDog, you're living up to your name. Play nice here, we're not enemies! Anyways, enjoyed your original post, had a good laugh. I can just imagine all that going down 😂

I'm just wondering how they handle these tunnels what with the buildings being sold to different owners. I heard something about them filling the tunnels in, but not sure how that would work.
