(baylor university, waco, tx) an essay entitled, "jehovah's witnesses, blood transfusions, and the tort of misrepresentation," found in the autumn issue of baylor universitys prestigious journal of church and state, published december 13, 2005, exposes the vulnerability of jehovahs witnesses religious organization to massive claims for compensation because of the religions misrepresentation of the medical risks of blood transfusions.
this milestone essay critically examines one of the religions main publications for teaching their children and new recruits about their blood beliefs, how can blood save your life?
the peer-reviewed essay details many misrepresentations of medical facts, which the religion partly relies on to support its blood prohibition, thus denying its members from making fully informed medical decisions.
This was an excellent article and pivotal in my exit from WT. Sadly all WT has done in the interim is come up with more blood fractions that can or cannot be taken. They stick to that crazy, death dealing blood policy as if their lives depended on it.

this is old news, as it happened six or so months ago, but i just found out today.
timothy campbell died of kidney cancer in november of 2013. he started one of the first ex-jw forums, beyondjw.
i met him in person once.
I named my blog Beyond Jehovah's Witnesses after his site. He was so balanced and reasonable in his perspective. He helped me leave for sure.

the golden rule, matthew 7:12:.
so in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the law and the prophets.. .
a whle back i had a management course.
Absolutely excellent line of reasoning, and one that works so much better in real life. I call it "taking the temperature of a room or a relationship" and then matching it. Others have referred to this idea as "seek first to understand." It is superior.

pm me or email to [email protected].

I was able to get. Thanks for the tips. I lost touch with JW.org. In my day a few years ago they would never dream of putting all that data out to the public, let alone the study edition of the WT. Times are a'changing.

i just found this video they released on their official website.
sorry if this was already posted.
(if not i thought some might have some thoughts about it).
Amazing though how they're still pushing the forgoing of good paying jobs and college. A cult if ever there was one.

it was really quite amusing 2day at the meeting when we got to the "this generation will not pass away" subheading in the wt.
the conductor spent very little time on the section and the comments that were given didnt at all make sense really.
you can tell its not understood by the majority of the friendsand will go over there heads, i was trying not to laugh lol.
My poor misguided Mom called me to read that paragraph to me. What a joke. It didn't even make sense. What a lying bunch of jerks the GB are.
