  JWs, ex-JWs and Non-JWs

  by CeriseRose in

  i'm going to preface these comments with a disclaimer: in no way am i meaning these observations to be inflamatory, exclusionary, or to devalue anyone.

  i believe everyone has a right to their opinion, and observations, and to share themwithin the terms of the board.

  i also believe that there is learning to be found from a variety of sources.

  Please help me understand the differences.....

  by SwampThing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i?ve noticed something of a discrepancy and would like some clarification.

  as much as it appears that the wts controls the jws through their published, written word, there also appears to be a fair amount of difference in how that word is applied across the various congregations, not to mention in other countries.

  some members here say this or that happened in their old congregations, and then others say that it was different where they attended.

  I think I finally figured out the blood doctrine....I think

  by undercover in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this whole blood doctrine thing has got me so confused, but i think i've got it narrowed down to this:.

  the wts is trying to get away from the blood doctrine or at least make it less of a doctrinal point than it has been over the years.

  the wts now allows fractions, which, if i understand correctly, modern medicine uses fractions more than whole blood anyway.
