  Any news articles on refusing organ transplant pre-1980?

  by ithinkisee in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  .

  i was wondering if anyone had any articles that could be deemed non-apostate to the potential reader of someone who refused an organ transplant prior to 1980 that died.. i found some references to people on ajwrb.org, but i feel that won't carry enough weight.

  a news article would really help further my case and would lessen the "apostate" suspicion on me .... thanks in advance for any help on this front .... .

  I was interested to hear how our WT conductor approached this article since he has a hugely successful family business and all his kids drive fancy cars and have new homes.

  Unfortunately, he was in Colorado looking for investment property and a second home ...

  the following is an excerpt and was found in new york king's county clerks's court record 1940 vol.

  ii p. 795. it has to do with court testimony that was being made by fred franz in a lawsuit brought against the wtbts by others.. .

  "lawyer: who subsequently became the editor of the magazine, the main editor of the 'watch tower' magazine?

  "Lord" meaning Jesus switched to "Jehovah" in the NWT?

  by ithinkisee in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i read somewhere on this board in that past that there were numerous examples in the greek scriptures in the nwt where the society translated "lord" that obviously meant jesus to the name jehovah to avoid problems with "trinity" doctrinal issues.. can someone point me to some research or examples regarding this.

  i googled jwd but didn't really come up with anything.. .

  Elders, has there been any "official" push to target and eliminate faders?

  by AlmostAtheist in

  hey current and recently stepped-down elders,.

  has there been any direction from the co/do/brooklyn areas to go after the people suspected of 'fading'?

  it seems that we're seeing more and more folks getting elder's visits scheduled, like an explosion recently.

  Good question XBEHERE.

  You should start a new thread with that so more people see it. I would be interested in hearing the responses. I have wondered the same thing about people who harp on lack of love after learning the TRUTH about the truth.

  The 96 "pro" civilian service article states:

  On the other hand, would they be able to continue to make spiritual progress, perhaps even sharing in the full-time ministry while performing the required service?-

  Hahaha. As if you'll be able to go out in field service while sitting in prison. Oh please ...

  While I was at Bethel, the Society would BRAG about the fact that brothers in Europe just accepted it as REALITY that they go to prison when they come of age ... they just accepted it as part of life.

  Oh man ... now I am getting pissed.

  Bethel: Pathway to Apostasy

  by Black Man in

  at the 'big house' you go either one of two ways, company man or apostate.

  i think for many that went, it demystified the whole organization and you saw firsthand that there wasn't holy spirit influencing anything - only the muses of sheltered, out-of-touch old men and political bureaucrats.

  i work in the corporate world and i saw just as much if not more politics in bethel.

  Yeah, no one really knows much about Bethel, and often even the ones that leave under not-so-good circumstances never tell.

  I had some good memories ... heh ... I posted them here:

  Sometimes I wonder if the Society itself is behind all that subliminal picture crap and the stuff about Russel being a devil worshipping Mason and stuff.

  I can't tell you how many times I stopped and started looking into the true roots of the JWs and stopped after reading that ridiculous stuff. I thought, "Yep them apostates are a bunch of wacko conspiracy theory freaks!"

  It was only a few months ago that I actually came across Watchtower Observer and JWD.
