I'm no WT defender. I am a person who spends lot of time in research about companies. The wtbts is corrupted in many ways. Th I s is likely not one of them. Their hypocrisies are boundless.

Bloodless Medicine....not all its cracked up to be.
by Lee Elder inthis is a pretty good example of the limitations of "bloodless medicine", and why the informed choice should always be "blood conservation" medicine, which retains the safety net of blood transfusion when medically required.
sadly, the watchtower fails to inform jws regarding these important limitations, and their potentially disastrous consequences.. http://www.dailyreportonline.com/id=1202750028414/jury-awards-100k-to-family-of-jehovahs-witness-who-died-after-refusing-blood-transfusion?mcode=0&curindex=0&curpage=3&slreturn=20160118223352.

1974 Special Meetings
by NeonMadman inas we all know, armageddon was just around the corner in 1974. at the district conventions that year, it was announced that there would be two special meetings during the month of september; one would be for interested people (e.g., bible studies, family members, inactive, etc.
), and the other would be for baptized publishers.
these were to be held in place of the service meetings for the two weeks, iirc.

I boned up for Armageddon by reading novels and biographical stories of the ww2 Jews. Escape from Warsaw is a sentimental favorite." The five little peppers, and how they grew" was about how a very very poor family survived in 19th century. Yes, I was a freaky kid. Anne Frank and Jo march helped me keep a balance. Books saved my childhood. Not WT books! Perspective kept me aware that we weren't being persecuted just because people disagreed or even if they though we were idiots. Then I realized we WERE idiots! -

He looks good for his age, but he is a contradiction to those who think if you live a bad lifestyle it will age you inordinately. Damn Dorian Gray! -

Don't read too much into websites that turn up in reference sites. I research businesses a lot and that is sloppiness by the compilers or an advertiser trying to get the company to buy their domain name-ever so affordably, of course! -

Almost Ready....
by BeautifulMind inso, 8 months after i realized ttat and 7 months removed from completely walking away from jw land, i think i'm almost ready to find out what it is i actually believe.
after all of the research i did while exiting the jws, i took a much needed break from any religious/spiritual or whatever things.
now i think i'm ready to explore, see what's out there.

Pete, thanks for your story. It brought back memories. I remember that when they told us the age of understanding, it ended up being someone born around 1900, so the math was always easy for me:) Later, it got lowered and lowered to the point that one simply had to be alive in 1914. That doesn't seem to have alleviated their troubles.
Neonmadman, I don't remember you from before, so (probably really late) welcome! I appreciated the PDFs and have saved this thread and them for future reference.

Facing expulsion is like a person accused in court is facing jail or divorce. It might happen, it might not. Apparently, it doesn't often happen for pedophiles, but smoke a joint and you are really anathema! -

Mexico is cheaper than the US and much closer than angola. It also has more modern amenities than, say, Bangladesh. They still have squat toilets most everywhere there.
