the insert is called "how do i view blood fractions and medical procedures involving my own blood?
" i will attempt to transcribe the more salient points for everyone here.. paragraph 1 (verbatim): the bible commands christians to "abstain ... from blood.
" (acts 15:20) thus, jehovah's witnesses do not accept transfusions of whole blood or the four primary components of blood-namely, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma.
The absurdity is even greater when one considers that organ transplants are permitted by the WT. Organs are comprised of white cells.
How can they permit things like dialysis and blood scrubbing (cleaning blood salvaged from a wound) when they do not allow pre-need storage? Leviticus 17:13 is very clear on how (some) blood is to be handled and the WT quotes it frequently when it is to its benefit but NEVER when dialysis or use of fractions is being discussed.

The logic is to consider it like a Birthday Cake:
I just did an anti-witness on this subject using the chart and the KM and my results were as follows MOL
A normal person would assume that if we are forbidden to eat a cake, then we are forbidden to consume the ingrediants that make up the cake.
A well-programmed JW will insist that it is not the cake we are forbidden to consume, but the meaning behind the cake and therefore we are permitted to eat the flour, water eggs etc. Since blood is 90% water and Jesus served water then we are able to consume the ingrediants? (the part about Jesus is mine by the way)
Now here is how to make them shut up: Ask how the Red Cross gets the components. They will assume that there is a specific operation to seperate them and that is correct. Ask but HOW does the RC get the blood? They will act unsure and mumble about dead people or donations. Now what does Leviticus 17:13 ? say? Here is where they either admit that the WTBS is breaking God's law by using products that should have been covered with dirt, or they have to admit that Leviticus talks about Jewish dietary law. There are only the two alternatives when one actually uses the scripture rather than broken fragments as the WTBS does.
what exactly is the cause of the wtbts total obsession with masturbation?.
is there any religion in the world that has printed so many articles on this topic?.
if your feelings are similart to those of luiz, pedro or andre, take courage.
Pippy, I really hope you are a female, and if you are you are DEFINATELY my kind of girl!
OOOOOOH I need a dirty woman....
OOOOOOH I need a dirty girl
i have just put together a table with percentages that highlights quite simply what a jw can and can not have.
the wts does not present it in this simple format, as graphically it is quite obvious how senseless their stand is.
.
That "quote" from Acts 15:20 is the most disingenuous thing I have ever seen.
Might as well quote the Bible like this: "In.......Saints" The:Bible (first and last words)
I can make ANY verse say ANYTHING I want using their system of paraphrasing.
I've already got the new KM on blood and it is designed to confuse while legally covering their bases

And when was the last time anyone saw a watchtower magazine that condemned child molestation?
WT 1991 "Questions From Readers". A CO is quoted about how shocked he is that so many JWs abuse children.
This is also the WT that GB Member Jaracz (?) tried to stop the presses on for obvious reasons. The majority were not smart enough to realize what the CO was saying, but crafty Ted recognized immediately what was going on. Wonder why? Maybe he felt guilty about something?
I can't even comment on their obsession with masturbation other than to mention that I have examined their claims that it against the will of Jeh and find those claims invalid.
If I ever have to give a talk on it I will preface it with "even though it is not forbidden scripturally, and even though scientists and medical professionals have asserted that it helps to prevent cancer in males, the society feels it would be best if you did not play with yourselves."
I swear I'll do it.
i believe it was a spanish elder school in jersey city assembly hall.. front middle is the afamed harold jackson.. .

BluesBrother:
You are a wonderful physician if you can diagnose that from a picture!
You'll have to wait until next June to address me as "Doctor" I'm afraid!
Mild mental retardation is usually accompanied by a slack-jawed, vacant expression. Both are highly evident in three of the Bros and less so in others.
Probably 10% of the elders I have met would clock under 80 in an IQ test. Repetition and conditioning is actually enhanced by a low IQ as proven repeatedly by Pavlov (the father of conditioning.) It's a fact like it or not.

At least three appear to be mildly mentally retarded which is a good thing because you tend not to notice the discrepancies built into the faith.
is he right or wrong?.
during his talk, the circuit overseer asked what kinds of negative information get spread about jehovah's witnesses.
of course, the question was rheoctorical, the audience didn't answer.
My understanding is that based on the JW version of John 1:1 (and the WORD was a God) it would be idolatry to worship Jesus God since BIg God hates competition.
I guess when you can re-write the bible to suit whatever dogma is being practiced at any given time you can pretty much dodge the bullets.

throughout my tenure as one of jehovah's witnesses, i could not help notice how individuals.
became so conscious of what others thought about them.
Let me just add an experience about voting, corruption and mind control.
The PO of my foreign language congo was switched from an english congo about six months prior to this event. He had made a custom of flying a buddy in from Bethel (just a regular Dub) to host the memorial, put him up with one of the Bros with a house on the Gulf of Mexico, and had always paid for the expenses out of congo funds.
He decided to continue the custom but using the new foreign language congo. When it came to a vote I raised my voice and asked if I could ask a question. He glared at me and said yes so I asked if Brother Freeloader spoke XXXXX (the language of our congo.) Man I'll tell you he got hot! Steam rose from his little bald spot and he had to admit that (ahem) the Bro would have to give the mmorial in English but that he, Bro PO, would translate.
My tactic must have worked somewhat because 5 or 6 other people voted against the proposal. It was the first time anyone had ever voted against any issue raised from the pulpit.
happiness for the wtbts is loadsa, loadsa money!!!!.
november 1st watchtower, 2006, page 21:.
'those who contributed to temple building rejoiced greatly.
You Apostates obviously did not read the effing article.
It clearly states "those who CHOOSE to give."
The WTBS is not ASKING for money it is merely accepting what members choose to give it.
Now get on board the chariot.
