  This is exactly what I feared, the Dubs will now say "Oh he wasn't a real Witness,just came along a bit to please his wife"

  Sadly Wobble, they ALWAYS use that excuse anyway (in my experience). Once a JW is exposed as doing something bad, they cannot be a REAL Witness by definition, as REAL JWs don't do anything bad.

  a friend told me about this forum so i thought i'd check it out.

  i also post on jwr (jehovah's witness recovery) as disillusioned.

  it seems this forum had someone with that name already so i added the number 1.. i was born into the jw religion.

  Yeah, that's what this guy is concerned about -- stressing his surviving victims.

  If he pleads guilty he will get a lighter sentence, so it's to everyone's advantage that he pleads guilty IF he is. He has not yet entered a plea, but I imagine he will have to when he reappears at the magistrates court on Thursday.

  First, he is entitled to the presumption of innocence

  True...but according to reports he did not enter a plea this morning in the Magistrates Court. I hope if he IS guilty, then he will confess thus saving his (elderly) victims the extra stress of a trial.

  Just watched this on news (England) and his neighbours are shocked, 'such an unassuming man, devoted to his wife and kids, a Jehovah's Witness'. His oldest victim was 93 according to report.

  Ooops, prematurely pressed return...the condition of 'annointed' only exists in the heads of those professing to be. In my opinion, anyone who professes to be hand picked by God to RULE is delusional (or just living in a fantasy world).

  Will someone please explain the difference between 'anointed' and 'genuine anointed'?

  'anointed' = delusional

  'genuine anointed'= sectionable

  a "Blood" experience...

  by AwSnap in

  i was speaking with a lady today & found out she's been a nurse in the blood transfusion unit at our hospital for the past 15 years.

  i said, "i have an off-the-wall question for you...i was having a discussion with somebody about jehovah's witnesses.

  i know they're not allowed to get blood transfusions but they can get fractions, right?

  And I'm angered that Witnesses are allowed to take the blood fractions that others have so kindly donated. Yet they refuse to donate blood.

  I bet there are loads of examples where they don't mind benefitting from a source that they refuse to donate to...have JWs benefitted from 'The Red Cross' during disasters?

  I totally don't understand the comment I received when remarking to a JW about the changes in the blood issue....I was told that the Bible hasn't changed but science has, that's why fractions are allowed. Doesn't make sense, but I suspect that this JW had desperately tried to remember the WT answer for such occasions, lol (let's face it, they don't actually THINK or use logic, just repeat parrot fashion...if they can remember)
