hello jwn,.
to introduce myself, i am still in the jws but learned ttatt some months ago.
i now ask this question to get more info on a past teaching.. between 1967 and 1980 was when the 'current understanding' of the wts was that organ transplants were cannibalism, and thus abhorrent.
so--whats the rule now ? i remember my jw dad saying--years ago--it was considered cannibalism.
on my dads side--lots of the family have died through heart problems ( non of them dubs )--although dad lived to 94--he passed this january.
one of my cousins had a heart and lung transplant a few years ago--hes doing well now ( never a dub ). it was a Papworth Hospital UK job.
it really stands out to me just how phoney the bonds of forced brotherhood are.
the smiles are paper thin when they see each other in hotels.
the laughs forced.
back in the day when i was a young dub--i found i could not read the literature--i mean--really. my eyesight would not focus on the paragraphs. i got my eyes tested--nothing wrong with it. even bought reading glasses--still no good. i think my mind was trying to tell me something.
some internal sources in jw.org has brought me attention to the following data:.
- in which european country, not member of the eu, and well known for their banking industry, jw.org and some affiliated structures do maintain some business incorporated structures and companies?.
- which is the purpose of these business and company structures?.
maybe a bit of money laundering ?
that would be a nice rumour if it got spread around.
i was raised as a jw and 1975 expectations were pretty intense.
as i recall, most people did not leave after the failed expectations but many s l o w e d down.
now, i think most of the 1975 witnesses are gone or barely in.. is the older generation still around in the kingdom halls or are they much gone?.
i was a pioneer and a servant in the late 60's--married in '68.
1975 was all we ever heard--and believed. by 71 i decided enough was enough--and was out.
i remember visiting like minded friends in '76---and had a good laugh we were still alive !
what a load of old baloney. i bet the watchtower just hopes it all goes away--along with russell--rutherturd--blood transfusions----all the old twaddle they used to peddle.
has anyone seen one of the new design kh's and taken pics?
i'm curious to see.
i cant help thinking jehovah might be more impressed if they made a bit more effort
a quick summary of my situation: i have known ttatt since at least 2010. my wife and teenage son are still in.
i only mention that because it is relevant in this situation.
you can see some of my previous posts for additional details.
yeah--let him get dipped. then--in no time at all..satan will tempt him--with his girlfriend maybe--? then he will get d/f'd....then his mother will shun him.
problem solved.

at this rate, soon they'll let infants get dipped:.
lindsey jackson, 14, of king george county was among the 33 people who were baptized saturday during the first convention of jehovah’s witnesses of the summer at the richmond coliseum.
i used to find the way to deal with an unwanted erection was to think of jehovah. worked every time.
so my 14 yr old son and i are sitting discussing the eu election vote, and joking around that the we could see a future with donald trump and boris johnson being the uk and us leaders.
we were swapping pictures and jokes from facebook.. but his dad is sitting there waiting until we leave, and comes out with "well daniel 2.44" which reads.......... "and in the days of those kings the god of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin.
and the kingdom itself will not be passed onto any other people.
i think Boris and Donald is the same person--just one is standing sideways.
this thing that was my mother.
this thing that was my mother, so withered and blackened now,.
was once so kind and loving, but things have changed somehow.. remember when you'd hold me, and soothe my childhood fears?.
@ab ortega: nice tang.
recently susie, one of my co-workers mentioned that her husband's family were all jws.
the family converted after susie's husband left home, so he never joined the jws, nor does he intend to.
anyway another co-worker asked her: "what do the jws believe?".
how often have you heard a dub say--" WE dont believe this--or that"-----rather than I.
seems to convey their herd mentality.
