  parkaveboy: Thank you Orphancrow! Really, is that so? More than Jamestown each year? I would love to see the actual numbers because that is another piece of evidence for the AG to read and add to the list.

  There is some discussion about numbers on this thread here:

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5460463630417920/document-blood-transfusion-deaths-please-help?page=2&size=10

  But the reason I listed it as number 3 is because without the "you MUST obey the 7 fat bastards" then the blood transfusion doctrine would be null and void.

  It is a bit of a chicken and egg conundrum isn't it? Without the draconian rules, the "must obey" is redundant.

  As far as "dangerous teachings" go, the most dangerous teaching that is enforced by the "must obey" directive, is unquestionably the one that has cost the most needless deaths.

  Hence, the blood doctrine. 70 years of suicidal behavior that has been called "religious belief". Supported and promoted with the WT brand of bullshit "science". Underneath it all, and covered up by all the multitude of problems that the WTS faces, the Jehovah's Witnesses are a blood cult. A death cult.

  It's a good list, Parkaveboy.

  However, I would move the "blood doctrine" to the number one spot. The psuedo-scientific quack teaching about the benefits of suicide can be measured in real lives - tens of thousands of them, if not more.

  The blood doctrine is what defines the Jehovah's Witnesses as a "death cult". More Jehovah's Witnesses die each and every year, from refusing life saving blood transfusions, than the number of people who died at Jonestown alone.

  i don't know how the fellow who made the resolution from stage to send 80% of the congregation funds to the indian branch as an outright donation made it with a straight face.

  and all the sheeples nodded like they understood the shit he were spewing.

  i'm so mad at this cult .

  cognitivedizzy: Those blood suckers...

  There you go. Now you are on to something.

  India and their desperate need for bloodless procedures. Huge shortage of suitable or willing blood donors. Perfect climate for the JW bloodsucking blood management teams...

  Blood Cards on File with the Elders?

  by EyesOpenHeartBroken in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i have a question for elders here or recent elders.

  were the elders, in the last 10 years, given instruction to keep a copy of every publishers blood card on file at the kh?.

  we moved to our current cong 6 years ago, and shortly after we moved in, the boe requested everyone update and give a copy of card to the kh.

  I susept the variance in pressure for information collection and data racords on blood treatment is due to the proximity of "bloodless" clinics and if there are areas targeted for clinical trials with alternative drug treatments.

  That's all.

  Different actions for differents geographical locales.

  What did being a JW teach you?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  these are some of the things the wbt$ 'taught' me:.

  dishonesty is fine if it's to trick people into joining the cult.. if your spouse stops believeing, the best thing you can do is break up the family.. the laws of the governing body overrule any other laws...or else!.

  my friends are conditional.. avoid loving people, they'll only let you down or get df'd.. unintelligent dumbos are better than intelligent ones if the dumbos are elders or above.. hate is better than love.. i am not good enough and god will probably enjoy killing me.. demons will appear in my room at night.. ignore practicallity if being practical or loving prevents the leaders getting money or praise.. god hates.

  crazyguy: What happened to that hotel was it flipped later for luxury condos and sold off?

  The site of the old Margaret Hotel is one of the Watchtower properties not yet put up for sale.

  The Brooklyn Eagle has a three part series of articles on the properties that the WT still owns that are not on the chopping block...yet.

  Part three lists the property in question.

  Part One - Properties Jehovah's Witnesses Haven't Sold Yet.

  Part Two

  Part Three

  * 97 Columbia Heights: A historic hotel where Betty Smith wrote “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.” A five-alarm fire on an Arctic-cold night. Fights with the neighbors over the height of the building that would rise from the ashes of the site.
  The residential tower at 97 Columbia Heights has a dramatic back story, to say the least.
  Originally, the Hotel Margaret stood there, an 1880s-vintage Romanesque Revival stunner built by coffee mogul John Arbuckle that was Brooklyn's tallest building for many years.
  The conflagration that destroyed this Brooklyn Heights Historic District architectural jewel took place in February 1980. At that time, the building was being converted into co-op apartments by developer Bruce Eichner.
  It was so cold that night that firefighters were covered in icicles by the time they quelled the blaze.
  In spring 1986, after legal battles over his proposed project's height, Eichner began excavation for a new 11-story apartment building on the site on the corner of Orange Street. In November 1986, the Watchtower purchased the property from H-M Associates, whose managing general partner was Eichner, Finance Department records show.
  The Watchtower's building has 135 residential units, Buildings Department records indicate.

  NN: Is THAT why we call it a "boner"?

  Probably. And that is how women are evaluated - on their ability to put the bone back inside the penis.

  Now all those pictures of Adam have to be re-made. He should have a penis that sticks out all the time. How convenient would that be? God must have been drunk...

  Adam: "sorry...I didn't mean to hit you with this...it is always in the way. And...how am I supposed to make clothes to cover this thing sticking out? And, you know, I wouldn't mind sleeping on my stomach once in a while."

  God: "Well, let's fix that. Here...I will take that bone away from you. Sorry about that...I didn't know what I was thinking. Eh...might as well make something else with it...let's see what I can do."

  God takes another sip....

  God Made Eve From Adam’s Penis, Not His Rib, Academic Claims
  

  It’s certainly a shake-up for the book of Genesis - but a Biblical scholar has argued that Eve was made from Adam’s penis, not his rib.
  Biblical scholar Professor Ziony Zevit suggests that Eve was made from Adam’s ‘baculum’ or penis bone - and that’s why Man doesn’t have one.
  Professor Zevit, of the American Jewish University in Maryland said the Hebrew word ‘tsela’, doesn’t actually translate as 'rib’ and instead 'refers to limbs sticking out sideways from an upright human body.’
  Hence Eve’s surprising origins from below Adam’s belt.
  The word ‘tzela’ or ‘tsela’ is used in several different senses in the Old Testament - and Professor Zevit claims that this has confused translators.
  He says that it refers to any protruding part of the anatomy, including feet, arms and penis.
  Zevit says, ‘'Of these appendages, the only one lacking a bone is the penis.’
  Other Biblical scholars are less convinced, with some pointing out that the word ‘tzela’ means rib in post-Biblical Hebrew.
