ISO: Autologous No Blood Card "Misprint"?
by AMNESIAN in

i need the link to the online image, assuming it still exists, of the actual no blood card the watchtower society prepared for distribution early this decade that contained specific wording that the bearer refuses transfusions that are not autologous.

some will recall that these were ordered discarded due to a claimed "misprint" and publishers were instructed to continue carrying the card they'd signed the previous january.. an image of the card itself was posted online.

i both printed a hard copy and saved the digital image on a long-ago hard drive, however, the circumstance that causes my need for it now is such that i'm hoping not to have to spend time locating one or the other.. briefly, my spouse of 32 years continues to follow wts dictates despite ever-waning belief in their arrogated authority, self-important claims, flickering strobe "new" light and patently false prophecies.

would some hearty and reliable soul who still attends meetings of jws confirm and elaborate on the letter being read to congregations in the us this week regarding the discontinuing of the publishing and distribution of the "deluxe" nwt bible in favor of a "soft cover" version of the same (whatever exactly that means) instead???.

(g_d, have things really come to this???).

WatchtowerFarm.Org: JWs and Ex-JWs Continue Destroying Their Wounded!
by AMNESIAN in
1. jw
2. friends
below is the most recent in a lengthy exchange between the elderly bethel brother who arranged for the setting up and hosting of watchtowerfarm.org and an initially-suspicious inquirer.

(for background see: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/95848/1.ashx)

the entire exchange that precedes it is heartbreakingly illuminating as regards the tragic plight of elderly bethelites who've devoted their lives to the wbts and should, imo, be disseminated far and wide.
