I'am in the Penalty Box! I asked the Circuit Overseer "Who Donates Blood For Jehovah's Witnesses Blood Fragments".

by AuntConnie in

told my husband to put a muzzle on my mouth over the blood dogma.

we all were driving around in field service when the topic of "which fragments would you take if you were in a car accident or cut yourself badly".

said his choice is a personal one, another sister with chronic health problems said she had no problem with the governing body's new light on taking various fragments.

Choices you have to make after you learn the "truth"

by stuckinamovement in

choices.

by my nature i am not a negative person.

should i live my life as a hypocritical, tortured pretender, or stand up for what is right and lose my reputation, friends and family?

Struckinamovement: I feel your pain. I am in the same situation and have been for a long time. Let me tell you how I have dealt with this hell hole of a situation. First I knew that once I started to fade that my "friends" would mark me and you know what that means. So before any fading I made friends outside of the organization by joining various clubs/organizations. This would give me some sort of social life and being marked would not have the t raumatic impact. I did not totally fade as I still go once in a while to meetings and assemblies/conventions. This was to pacify my wife/ grown kids. So to help my conscience I decided on a goal. The goal was guerrilla warfare against this cult. I would seek out new ones or one that "think" and make comments to help them reason about how crazy this organization was. An example would be at the convention when a statement was made that is confusing I would say in a very sincere way "isn't it wonderful to be in a spiritual paradise". You should see the looks in these people. It is as if a light has been turned on and now they are on their way to freedom. I know of four different times people have left because of this. It gives me a warm feeling inside knowing I have helped others to freedom while staying back in this prison. PS: don't say anything that is impeachable. After 25 years the fight goes on..............

by Terry in

the watchtower, may 1, 1975, said of a watchtower bible school of gilead graduation held on march 2, 1975: (italics added).

another speaker, f. w. franz, the society's vice- president, forcefully impressed on the audience the urgency of the christian preaching work.

the watchtower (1943 july 1 p. 202) says: "jehovah god is therefore the only supreme court of interpretation of his inspired word.

How many remmember the "Make Sure" book? I think many of the loyal Dubs were instructed to throw them out. You will not find it their library!

Look up the chapter: Chronology in this book and make copies of it to past out to new Dubs. Watch their expession!
