the use of ridicule comes under the "abusive analogy" heading in argumentation.

Is it wrong to mock and ridicule the Watchtower Society?
by yadda yadda 2 inrobert j ingersoll on the great voltaire:.
"it has been claimed by the christian critics that voltaire was irreverent; that he examined sacred things without solemnity; that he refused to remove his shoes in the presence of the burning bush; that he smiled at the geology of moses, the astronomical ideas of joshua, and that the biography of jonah filled him with laughter.
they say that these stories, these sacred impossibilities, these inspired falsehoods, should be read and studied with a believing mind in humbleness of spirit; that they should be examined prayerfully, asking god at the same time to give us strength to triumph over the conclusions of our reason.

EXACTLY!! If we accept a blood transfusion, then we are not breaking the edict of Acts 15, only the Gibbering Buddies interpretation of it.
The elduhs will not even discuss this with you unless you agree with them. I will not discuss it with the elduhs unless they agree with me. Impasse - Aesop's fable of the heron and the oyster.
I refuse to accept the Witchtowers rule which reduces my one and only life to a mere gambling chip to be thrown down on the table.

Donation of blood fractions
by why144000 inthis may be the wrong area for this but here goes.. if you went to a bank and told them " i don't have an account with you, i never will have an account with you and i will tell people you are a terrible bank" then ask not for a loan from them, but a gift of a lot of money, how do you think they would respond?.
yet, witnesses now have the the ability to take blood fractions from the blood bank without ever contributing to the blood bank.
there is a process that the blood bank takes just the plasma from a donor to be used for fractions only.

The reference to www.bmj, is excellent.
It shows Furuli evading points, using non sequiturs, equivocation and deliberate exclusion of the middle, also lies.
I have printed these out for future reference.

I suspect that the change coming in the autumn - one CO was quoted as saying "it will shock many " (on this forum) - is thay will make the whole blood thingy a conscience matter, just as they did with previously forbidden vaccines and blood fractions.
If it is I wonder how many will die before then because the Gibbering Buddies want a big show at the AGM, rather than letting us all know jehoobie has chinged his mind months before?
Either that or it will be everybody to take the emblems. (What will happen to those who die without ever taking them - will they lose out on everlasting life?? John 6)

"NEVER SEND A LETTER TO WATCHTOWER HEADQUARTERS UNLESS YOU WANT TROUBLE!"
by Bubblegum Apotheosis inon jwn the lurkers will discover many truths about the watchtower society and how they handle matters that relate to your current imbalanced spiritual state.. if you think your letter you are going to send to the watchtower society is going to do any good, wrong!
i know of only one case where some type of justice was received from the watchtower society, why was justice received?
the woman who wrote the letter had been a very special pioneer, her letter was recieved and action took place.

Dont you just love that:"All congregation elders are appointed by the Holy Spirit. That is an important point to remember"
I am soooo silly! I was taught that the holy spirit is just a form of energy like electricity, not a person. WHY then do they capitalise it? How can a force appoint anybody? Isnt that jehoobies job, or his sidekick?
What about the child molestors, wife beaters, trannies, homosexuals who are appointed? Cant it see their sinful deeds before it made the decision??
Classic case: I knew a guy who was an MS, also a secret trannie (I am not condemning him - the witchtower uses an obsolete verse to DF them).
He went to "The Ball of a Thousand Dresses", where he bumped into a drag queen, who had been an elduh for 25 years, and was regularly being gorgeous before he was appointed...
Go figure.

We ridicule adults who believe in fairies, Santa Claus and the Easter Rabbit. We are just adding one more fairy story to the list.

Tech 49: the 3 F's...Fading, Field Service, and Friends
by Tech49 inhere we are, the family and i, moving along in our slow journey to freedom.
although they are unaware, for the most part, our ship is slowly veering off course.
not enough to cause attention, not enough to trigger alarm bells, but just enough.. since the summer dc, i have watched carefully, as the new releases remain on the coffee table, in plain sight, not touched, more of a decoration that anything.

Hi Tech-
You are a member of the gorup who resents the fact that the elduhs have left you alone.
Others on the board complain that the elduhs didnt leave them alone.
INTERFERING/IGNORING
For most of us what the elduhs do in either direction is irrelevant...

They will use overlapping lawsuits and appeals to drag on in court until they die, but: only after they have taken full advantage of their overlapping bank accounts and overlapping shell companies to have a great time.

by BluePill2 inbefore i dive into the actual write-up of this experience, let me put some things straight.. i have thought long and hard if i should write more about my experiences during the 10+ years at different branches.

I have personally spoken to guys who served in NY Bethel, London Bethel, and the German Bethel. Same kinds of stories came from them too.
So I BELIEVE THIS 100%
