yeah wow women can finally wear pants and men beards...but 1914 is still a date not accepted since charles russell times and blood fractions are evil!!.

Hemoglobin-based products are made from expired blood (donated) and animal blood. Now it seems that hemoglobin-based products do not have blood in them, although the starting point to make them is blood.

Actually 1914 did change when the end didn't come in 1914. Finally, adjusted to 1914 as the beginning. see this link for the whole story. https://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/failed-1914-predictions.php It is important to know what Watchtower preached would happen in the years leading up to and including 1914, and compare this with what it now claims was said.

What Watchtower said prior to 1914	What Watchtower claims it said prior to 1914
"The year A.D. 1878 … clearly marks the time for the actual assuming of power as King of kings, by our present, spiritual, invisible Lord - …" The Time is At Hand (1911 ed) p.239	"The Watchtower has consistently presented evidence to honesthearted students of Bible prophecy that Jesus’ presence in heavenly Kingdom power began in 1914." Watchtower 1993 Jan 15 p.5
"But bear in mind that the end of 1914 is not the date for the beginning, but for the end of the time of trouble. Zion's Watch Tower 1894 Jul 15 p.226	"Jehovah's witnesses pointed to the year 1914, decades in advance, as marking the start of "the conclusion of the system of things." Awake! 1973 Jan 22 p.8

Unless they choose hemoglobin-based products, then it is a "conscience" matter.

HEMOGLOBIN BASED PRODUCTS ARE MADE FROM WHAT?

It is typically obtained from donated blood that has expired before it is used. Other sources of hemoglobin come from spent animal blood. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2738310/

Yet in the November 2006 the Kingdom Ministry had this on form for jws to fill in and use

“RED CELLS

HEMOGLOBIN—33% OF RED CELLS

A protein that transports oxygen throughout the body and carbon dioxide to the lungs. Products being developed from human or animal hemoglobin could be used to treat patients with acute anemia or massive blood loss.

____ I accept hemoglobin

or

____ I refuse hemoglobin

HEMIN—LESS THAN 2% OF RED CELLS

An enzyme inhibitor derived from hemoglobin that is used to treat a group of rare genetic blood disorders (known as porphyria) that affect the digestive, nervous, and circulatory systems.

____ I accept hemin”

Or

____ I refuse

Where is Tony?

by Athanasius in

on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.

in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

In the past few years, I noticed that when the WTS wanted to change some "interpretation" or such, they would just stop mentioning it in the publications, like 7,000 year creative days. Eventually, many jws don't know that was a well-supported idea by the WTS, based their teaching that Armageddon had to come at the end of 6,000 years (because they need 1,000 years for the millenial kingdom). Stopped mentioning in in 1989, and now they say those days are "thousands and thousands of years). Eliminates the date 1975. So I'm not surprised that they handle Tony Morris' existence the same way.

I base my opinion on 30 years as a jw in several congregations in the US and Europe. They used to play bible games with scriptures citations and where they were found in the bible. History Pictionary of the bible...that was sad. And that were the elders and older jws. I know there are some jws that really do read their bible, look up the scriptures and read them while studying the WT publications. And a few others that have their own program of reading and study. But overall, jws are fairly ignorant of their history and what the bible actually says because of not engaging in much deeper thinking. I know people have busy schedules with family and children, the "preaching" work; meeting attendance, etc. I lived during those days too. But my personal experience with many congregations over the years in a variety of locations, seems to support my unhappy observations.
