I don't recall any JW I've know to die from not taking blood, unfortunately I cant say the same with suicide.

13There is a possibility of more people (JWS) dying from suicide than from refusing a blood transfusion !
by Finkelstein ini just recently heard of another person (jws) taking their life by suicide, a woman in her 30's.. sheesh, reflecting back upon all the other past jws that unfortunately did this, it creates an unnerving acknowledgement, jws are more likely to die from suicide than from refusing a blood transfusion.
i remember going back to the 1970's there were occurrences of people who i knew who were associated with the jws in one way or another committing suicide.. at the time i thought well people will do that just like the rest of the general population, not taking notice about the association with the jws.
but now i do see a connection in knowing of how people are mentally entrapped by this religoius cult in their psychological mind set and sociological behavior.

If this turns out to be true, JW's will just dig their heels in even more to promote JW.org proclaiming that this just another lie from Satan, and how they have been warned from the GB that these satanic attacks will only get stronger has the end draws near. We must resist these lies and remain loyal to Jehovah.

I'm thinking the greater percentage of negative growth would be from old faithful ones passing away than those leaving.

I,ve just looked up the "year 2000". From that site. Very interesting to read what was published in JW mags 30 years before 2000, and what never came true.

We were told at this weeks mid week meeting that there is going to be a resolution at next weeks meeting, we were told the rules of who can and who can not put up hands, during which we were told that we will be putting our hands up. Whats the point of having these resolutions when everyone is obligated to put their hands up. In the past when I haven't raised my hand, I get the evil steer from those righteous ones sitting around me holding their hands up, with that judgemental look on their face, while waiting for the brother to take a count of those holding up hands. I hate meetings where they have a resolution, its pointless. Not puttting your hand up is considered going against Jehovah's arrangement and only wicked people do that....so this resolution will get a pass, just like all the others have.

Do the Witnesses still allow women to preach in men's prisons?
by JimmyYoung ini knew of several women who would preach at the local correctional facility.
some would do the fall in love and get married to a new convert who had a long prison sentence.
if the witnesses had half a brain they would stop this before it ever got started.

But it makes a wonderful upbuilding experience to relate at conventions, that prisoner is now serving as an elder at some congregation somewhere.

I am sure they would burn us at stake if they could or throw rocks
That has been said at meetings, but then say that because they are under law it can not be done.
