  I agree that a child has civil rights and that ANYONE who counsels against a proven life saving procedure should not only be prosecuted, but should have his b@#ls cut off. How is refusing blood for an infant different than abuse? Why is it not rightfully called murder?

  And yes, there are risks to blood transfusions. But I know of no JW's who have EVER died of a blood transfusion, but have known 6 personally who have died while driving in service. There are risks to everything. The greatest risk of all is being a JW. IMHO.

  How Jehovah's Witnesses Encourage Mental Illness

  by metatron in

  while being a witness does not automatically make one mentally ill, it should be clear that huge.

  numbers of witnesses are - and moreover, that the watchtower society encourages certain kinds.

  of mental ills to maintain its control over publishers.

  Another thought on the upcomming changes...

  with the public talk being shortened, the "members only" wt, and the bombshell in the sept.km comming up, i was wondering:.

  has the society given up hope of bringing in new ones in affluent countries (with the exception of the foreign language field)?

  are they thinking that they have to hover around those already "in", and not lose them because, now that they have access to info on the internet, new ones are just not going to "buy" the message?.

  They need to eliminate a meeting night altogether. This "shortening " of the PT isn't that big of a deal to me. What can you say in 45 minutes that you cannot say in 30?

  As was said previuosly, the mainline churches have all gone to 30 min. "messages"--- especially guys like Joel Osteen and David Jeremiah.

  I agree that what the public talks need is a change of MESSAGE and not of TIMING. But this is JW land after all. Why should anything makes sense?

  As for the Sep. KM--- dubs don't study now. This is just meant to give the elders something more with which to brand a JW a heretic if they wish to.

  Do You Think The Watchtower will Crack Down On Faders?

  i have been wondering for a while if the new koolaid version of the watchtower will try to crack down on faders in some way.

  i read about the marking talk of nvrgbk's brother and i wonder if this is a sign of things to come.

  i know the elders do not like to have loose ends out there that they can neither control or influence.. what do you think?

  There are now numeroud anti-stalking laws, trespassing laws, defamation statutes that one can use against "pro-active" elders. What we need are more and more lawsuits against LOCAL elders. Let them face a summons time and again and they will get tired and resign.

  And, no, I do not think a "crackdown" is coming.

  Frankly, what THE HELL can they really do to you? Arrest you? Take your property? Write you out of their will? If they want to DF, DA me, my attitutde is:
  
  Go ahead....make my day. And when they do, I will be the burr in their saddle they wished they never had. They fear us, don't you get it? They are the ones afraid. The local elders can be sued by people like me ad infinitum. I'd sue them in every county I could, knowing I'd draw a judge sooner or later who would let a lawsuit continue. The Corporation may be nameless, but the peons that enforce the WTS rules.... they are left in the cold by the Mother Org. when things get too heated.

  God, these guys are evil.

  WE HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES AND IT'S CALLED...

  by steve2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here's what will happen to jehovah's witnesses as they roll right past 2014: they will become increasingly like the religious group that influenced charles russell: the christadelphians who started around 1830-1840 and who have many basic doctrines in common with the witnesses.

  the christadelphians were once an outspoken, vibrant, edgy "christian" group who spread their urgent end-times message far and wide.

  they grew exponetially in the latter half of the nineteenth century, but their heyday is long past.

  i told my wife i was going to sell everything: the houses, the investment properties, the cars, the boat, the business and give it all to the poor.

  she accused me of being a hypocrite because jesus didn't have any of the things i do, including "a place to lay his head.

  " so i lay down the challenge: i told her i would get rid of it all.... tomorrow.

  Remember, your favorite charity. Hell, it could even be the WTS. That would be awesome! Sell all my worldly goods and give it all to the WTS to absolutely prove once and for all that I am not a hypocrite, but a faithful follower of Jehober! My wife would be so proud, so happy, so elated!
