  So, 1952 is your definition of “several years ago”?

  That snark was completely uncalled for. Besides, how would you define it? 'Several years ago' is far more accurate than 'a few years ago.' What, should she have said 'eons ago' instead?

  mostly we read about the regular holidays in the western world.

  now the other ones are also named, because some witnesses could be in doubt .

  Blood Transfusion Permitted

  i just overheard an anointed acquaintance on the phone with a friend of hers who has just had surgery for cervical cancer.

  among the snippets of dialogue i heard on my end of the line, these ones stood out:.

  "you lost a lot of blood?

  Morpheus I was in no way attempting to create any sort of "illusion." I was merely sharing an anecdote of an incident that surprised me, and was curious as to what other people thought of it and whether they have experienced anything similar.
  
  I know that the WT has the gall to sing the praises of children who would rather die (and who HAVE died) rather than accept blood. I also know that they have gone so far as to applaud pregnant women who have risked their own lives and that of their unborn babies in order to uphold their gross misinterpretation of scripture.
  
  There is no illusion they can create that will ever convince me that they are anything but evil.

  DATA-DOG But what does gender have to do with scriptural matters? If it's not about the issue I already mentioned, then what are you saying, exactly? I don't understand what you are getting at.

  DATA-DOG She's a woman, yes, but I don't see what that has to do with anything. Unless you're talking about the scripture that implies all of the anointed would be men because "they don't defile themselves with women," or whatever the case was.

  I just overheard her on the phone with another friend, telling them about the transfusion. She explained that the friend who accepted blood was raised in the truth but was never baptized.
  
  I am now even more surprised that she is okay with the transfusion.

  I just overheard an anointed acquaintance on the phone with a friend of hers who has just had surgery for cervical cancer. Among the snippets of dialogue I heard on my end of the line, these ones stood out:

  "You lost a lot of blood? Oh no!"
  
  "Of course I'm not going to get mad at you!"
  
  "But you're not a witness, you're only studying."
  
  "At this point, you can still take blood, yes."
  
  "You did what you had to do to stay alive and take care of your kids."
  
  "I'm only mad at you for not calling me sooner! I thought you were at home recovering!"
  
  
  An anointed JW just gave her blessing on a blood transfusion. She essentially admitted that the only thing that would deny someone a transfusion is obedience to an organization run by flawed humans. That without commitment to said organization, Jehovah doesn't actually care what you do. And best (or worst) of all, she admitted that her friend made the right choice in order to save her own life and continue to care for her children.
  
  How is it that they can see the glaring issue, clear as day, yet be so blind to it at the same time?

  What Do You Think Will Be The Next Big Change In The Watchtower?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think there will be a change in the 144000 belief.

  too many witnesses think they have a heavenly hope.

  maybe 1914 will be discarded too.. what is your watchtower prediction?

  The next "new light" will be that most the people killed at Armageddon will be resurrected. I was all a big joke and Jehovah will give almost everybody a second chance.
  
  That is actually what I have been told by every JW I've ever spoken to on the matter. I have never met one who told me only JW's would survive, and nearly all of them said that even people like Hitler would be given a second chance.
