"Jehovah's Witnesses do better after surgery without transfusion" - Article (July 3, 2012)

by Da.Furious in

this article from 2012 published by the birmingham news showed up on my facebook page.. what i would have liked to see in the statistics is the inclusion of total jws refusing blood transfusion and their survival rate not only the ones taht surviced, taking about only survivors is not like for like comparison in my opinion with patients who take blood transfusion and then dont survive.. .

It all comes down this, in reference to the blood issue: Being a true JW is not for cowards or the faint of heart.

A Challenge to Apoligists - Why Would a Heavenly Father Kill a Newborn?

by berrygerry in

as a father, made in god's love, that has troubled me for a very long time, is that god, as described by the wts, is soon, going to slaughter every, roughly, 7.9 billion people on the planet, because they have figured out a way to come know him as a father according to the wts.. .

as a father, dear apologist, why would you kill/murder a one-day old baby?.

" Do not ask permission, just play the video--" service meeting instructions.

by prologos in

jw
friends

this statement startled me out of the pleasant mental absence during this week's "service" meeting.. pushing the org.

explanation: "the listener has time to interrupt, if they want--" .

together with an incredible boring "study" of an hand held device, or it's stored content, i will be a totally new crop of orgies at the halls,.

pro logos,

Liar, liar, pants on fire!

That is not how the written instructions go on the KM leaflet. Anyone that reads it, unbiased that is, knows it.

Lies, lies, lies!!!

Lillian Gobitas Klose dead at 90

by Balaamsass2 in

did a seventh grader have a better grasp of her beliefs than the modern day governing body of jehovah's witnesses?.

Hi,

The medical profession has given many accolades to the JW community for pushing them to look for other methods of treatment when dealing with their members.

Dr. Laura read in her talk show some time ago a letter praising the JWs for making the medical profession look for other alternatives, thus bringing about many improvements to surgical procedures and treatment afterwards.

I've also heard people that aren't JWs refuse blood treatments and then thank the JWs for giving them the liberty to do so while still having the opportunity to receive excellent level of care.

I've been shocked to say the least when I hear these expressions of approval!

Kudos to Lillian Gobitas Klose and all others that force change for the better!!!

Blown away-- where to go from here

by All for show in

jw
friends

i stumbled upon this website a few weeks ago due to the jw.org ridiculousness, since then i haven't been able to pull myself away.

the thoughts, feelings, and concerns i have had the past few years aren't just mine.

it's global.

Hi, and welcome to this board,

We have in common the generational JW backgrounds, also the educational accomplishments. However, perhaps due to our Hispanic culture, furthering one's education and pursuing business ventures is not really frowned upon in my cong and surrounding Spanish congs, regardless of what the Org says; perhaps because we're immigrants and want to better ourselves and the best for our children's future in this wonderful Country (USA).

Also, culturally we're very chummy and gregarious, so very clickly, kissy/huggy/smily, so much attention and friendship for all involved in the congs. Having said that you mentioned the following in your opening post:

"We hold no position in the hall and aren't stellar attendees due to our family, kids, and work schedules."

It seems to me that you're projecting onto the brothers/sisters (JWs) who you both really are: Uninterested. Therefore, this is also what you get from them in return.

It's a reciprocity type deal, you know. Want more, do more, be more, show more. Otherwise, enjoy it here; you'll find plenty of like-minded subjects among these fine posters.

by minimus in

jw
friends

do you check this site, daily?.

Gustv Cintrn

I make a good effort to answer all the ones that have come such a self-fulfilling prophecy of what the WTBT/Bible teaches.

It's so very much fun, really! Love this website!

Debating JW's

by will brooks in

hi,.

i'm new in this forum and it seems from a quick recce that jw's give this site a miss?

is there a site that jw's use - other than their official one which is restricted to active jw's?.

Gustv Cintrn

Will Brooks,

This site is for so called 'apostates' to vent about and blame JWs and their Org.

Basically, a website for the most part filled with posters that have become self-fulfilling prophecies, whom made a mess out of their lives all on their own effort and come here to vent and blame the very same people that would've saved them all their problems should they have paid attention to the biblical counsel they were offered.

Lots of loonies here and devious people. Be careful!

Divorcing my husband of 13 years...

by 2pink in

jw
friends

my husband and i were both born ins.

i left in 2009, and he followed me out a bit later.

we were one of those couples who followed the script, married young and ended up having nothing in common other than the religion.

Gustv Cintrn

Hi,

Return to State custody the 3 special needs kids, and get back to what really should've concerned you in the first place: Your kid and your husband. Talk to him; get him get him some help and build a good life.

Get your life back on track for Christ's sake!

As much as we all like to bad mouth the WTBT, we're so good at becoming self-fulfilling prophecies once we leave this co called 'cult'!

What Are Jehovah's Witnesses Known For In Helping Humanity? What Can They Brag About?

by BucketShopBill in

catholic churches were known for starting schools, orphanages, resthomes, hospitals along with other ideas like universities.

we can debate who started what but you will be missing the point.

i know some of the best colleges were started by religion, what has the watchtower contributed to society as a whole?

Gustv Cintrn

Well,

We JWs are into teaching people how to fish. Most are just into getting the fish without any effort; there are many orgs that will just enable people to keep their current behaviors; some promising heaven just for accepting 'Jesus' as their savior without any other effort on their part. That's not what the Bible teaches!

It's quite interesting watching people on their food give-out lines while having a smoke, or even drunk/high out of their skull.

Like this brother from my cong says: "The Bible says that Jesus turned water into wine, but in my case, Jesus turned wine into furniture and a home and $$$, because I learned to assume responsibility, changed my ways and the money I spent in vices I now spend it in my family and my personal needs."

Now, there's a person I find worthy of spending my time, resources and effort on.

Love it!
