Clive Parker, an elder at Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses where Joshua and his family worshipped, said: "I believe he was conscious enough after the accident and he made a stand on the blood issue. He made the choice personally."
You go to hell Clive. This was a 15 year old boy, and the only "issue" is that at that age any normal adult would know he is doing what he is told, not expressing his well thought out and vetted belief system. What a clod!
there was a jw who was a born in and faded about 10 years ago near a congregation i attended.
he never married or had children and was in his late 30's.
his parents shun him for the most part but then he had a major stroke.
I am glad the parents took care of their children. While of sound mind they felt differently, but if the price for being in your 30's and having your aging parents care for you round the clock is some drool time at meetings......small price to pay for such help.
for the latest apologists for the gb and the lawyers that rank and file are paying for:.
the wt has not changed their policy.. they still have a 2 witness policy about child sexual abuse, and think it's a good idea.. they will still appoint someone who has sexually abused a child, if they want to.. they say that they won't allow an abuser to go door to door without supervision, but this means nothing, as they protect the identity of abusers; they refuse to tell all elders and ms's who they are, witness mr. kendricks.. nothing has changed..

I congratulate her. I am sure it is exhausting and expensive. Its a small consolation victory after coming so far. But the WT is very adept at using the first amendment as both a shield and a sword whenever it suits them.
I do hope she didn't sign a gag order, but that is certainly her right, and I wouldn't think any less of her. Gag order or not....I am sure there is a way to find out. :)
personally i think this is wonderful.
i have nothing against gay people and wish them only the best.. but of course i'm in a minority of one, the jw's around me are posting away on fb the most homophobic vitriol imaginable.
a lot of them are even saying that it's the start to armageddon!!.
I saw a couple JW's dust off the ole "adam and eve not adam and steve" chestnut. I found it to be entertaining.
this trailer is circulating on jw apologist sites and youtube channels just in time for their annual reminder on no blood.

interesting read.
if they already allow "fractions," there's no way they can ban this.. here:www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/nhs-to-give-volunteers-synthetic-blood-made-in-a-laboratory-within-two-years-10343279.html.
hi, i'm new here but hadn't seen this mentioned anywhere yet.
during the "imitate jesus" rc there was a strange moment where they played a video of a brother trying to explain the 1914 teaching.
the brother quickly goes through all the scriptural "proofs" and the householder is dumbfounded.
Well they drop 607 right out of the gate as though its without dispute. Its like....
"How do we know the end will come in 2016 Jeffrey?"
"Well little idiot, we know Hilary Clinton is the evil slave, therefore we can say she will not gain power before the end comes"
"Derp"
