Jehovah's Witness woman refuses blood, then dies.

by Lee Elder in

another jehovah's witness woman has died while giving birth due to massive blood loss and refusing a blood transfusion.

she leaves nine children behind.

she finally consented to the transfusion but it was too late to save her.

I picked up on the same paragraphs you all did. I wish it was sensational or made up (nobody could accuse this article of hiding its bias), but it certainly rings true. Outside of locals there would be no way to verify it.

Why was this woman 41 and having a 9th child anyways!!

by RayPublisher in

my guy with the lurk account on jwtalk (where all the kool-aid drinking jws go to talk about how wonderful 'the twoof' is) sent me some more interesting threads, here's one:.

spoiler: starting new the new service year september.

"there will be new directives from the branch through the circuit overseer on dress and grooming that will disqualify one to be a congregation publisher.

No way is this true. But the derp meter at JW talk is off the charts. Lets just appreciate that a bit.

Anti-JW billboard going up in Texas

by sunny23 in

the first ever billboard has been crowd funded on reddit and will be going up.

i'm curious to know if it will cause a spark in any jw's who already have questions or doubts and lead them to research into the child abuse cases and lead them to the thought that the wt and gb are not inspired or gods mouthpiece.

at the very least it will provide people a topic of conversation and questions to the jw's who knock on their door: "so whats this whole sex abuse in kingdom halls thing about i saw on the billboard down the road?

I was thinking about this as well.

Why are JWs so against debate

by enigma1863 in

if the jws follow proverbs 27:17 they should not be afraid of any tension or friction.. in order for iron to sharpen iron you need pressure, tension friction and a bit of heated debate..

Its like a person with no legs debating the benefits of jogging on cardiovascular health.

Debate and conversation are two different things. For JW's every conversation with an alternate (not even neccesarily critical) viewpoint on scripture or a particular teaching, is like having a political conversation about Hilary clinton or a conversation with a proponent of gun deregulation.

In otherwords, its highly charged and emotional before you even get there!

Closing Prayer at RC...youth baptism

by freemindfade in

so while 99% of the closing prayer i did not hear, what i did was the elder say "we need to encourage our young ones to get baptised.

we can't let the world take anymore of them away" .

i found this very strange and looked up in disbelief.

So....the symbolic act of dedication representing a commitment one seems to have already made can now be done prepubescent, is enforceable through a code of conduct and communal shunning policy, and this is going to keep the world from taking them?

So in this guys prayer he might as well say, get them in young, so they can fear loosing their social structure and stick around.

What is their position on IVF?

by voodoo lady in

for example, if a married couple had fertility issues relating to the male partner's sperm, could they use a donor?.

is it frowned upon in a more general sense because people should be preaching rather than procreating?.

Disfellowshipping offense. Its considered immoral. also because several eggs could be fertilized to make them viable, they would consider the aborted fertilized eggs to be wrong as well.

So IVF. You thought it was using modern science to help have a child when you need a little extra help in order to bring life and love into the world right?

Nope. Its an immoral, masturbatory act of murder most foul.
