Honestly, Would You Have Secretly Taken a Blood Transfusion?

while i was an active jw elder, i wouldn't have up until that last year.

that's when i was totally mentally out, just going thru the technicalities.

i still respect other jw's viewpoints on their not accepting blood----although i think they are terribly misguided.

Over the coarse of my life I had to under go many operations. I was always willing to die to be faithful to God as it was explained by the Society. I had a kidney transplant over 14 years ago and signed all the papers refusing a transfusion. Since then my eyes have been opened to the falseness of their teachings and this year I had a heart operation and made sure that if a transfusion was needed I would receive it. Matter of fact I did need one and had it. You can read about my experience here.

I am very thankful that none of the other times I was in the hospital did I need a transfusion. Perhaps I would have been another victim of this horrible policy. Thankfully, I now know the truth about the truth

Would you throw a shoe at the governing body?

by Witness 007 in

george bush had a shoe thrown at him as a middle eastern sign of disrespect, so would you throw one at ted jaracz and what would you yell before the bethel heavy's grab you?

if it missed they would claim "jehovah's protection.".

"that's for the 1914 generation!"......

Speaking of a green handshake. We had an Elder in our congregation who was a married pioneer. He and his wife lived in a very small basement apartment. Only one room and with a bathroom. He didn’t have a steady job, worked odd jobs. His wife was unhappy with their living conditions. He was always looking for a free meal. During a meeting there was a part about the upcoming CO’s visit on how we can support his weeks activities. This pioneer elder raises his hand and says that the CO doesn’t receive much from the Society so he likes to give him a few bucks when he comes. I don’t know how we all held a straight face.

My heart goes out to you and your family. I didn’t know your father, but I have spent the last few hours reading about your family’s journey out of the Watchtower from his thread " Torn Apart". At times it gave me tears of joy and other times tears of sadness. But mostly it allowed me to get to know your father. He was a special man who loved his family very much and genuinely cared about others. . He was compassionate and kind. The world is a lesser place without him.
