  If the new Governing body Saunderson was baptised in 1975 - you could be anointed too

  by bruh2012 in

  someone mention on another thread about the newest- youngest governing body member- if he is anointed being baptised around 1975 why wouldnt anyone else baptised around that time be anointed too!.

  right ???

  or since the call to be anointed ended in 1935 teaching became no more with new light - is it random choosing now??

  I don't know the answer to your question, but I am more disturbed by the fact that he was baptized a few days after his 10th birthday.

  I mean ... did he claim at 10 to be of the anointed? Exactly when did he decide? How long before he became a member of the governing body did he decide he was anointed? 2 weeks before? 2 years? 20 years before? It would be interesting to know.

  Question About the Governing Body

  by Wild_Thing in

  does anyone know if any of the current governing body members became a jw as an adult, or were all of them raised and bred a jw from childhood?.

  i have a theory that the jws that are "born in" and stay in tend to be more extreme and less reasonable because that is all they have ever known, especially if they are sheltered and groomed to be a good little jw.. and i was just looking at what i could find about the newest and youngest member, mark sanderson.

  he was born on february 4, 1965, and he was baptized on february 9, 1975 ... a few days shy of turning 10 years old!

  Yes, I would like a detailed background one each member of the GB. The rank and file deserve to know.

  So at least two of members converted ... Morris and Loesch. Do the two of them seem less extreme than the rest? More reasonable?

  Donation of blood fractions

  by why144000 in

  1. jw

  this may be the wrong area for this but here goes.. if you went to a bank and told them " i don't have an account with you, i never will have an account with you and i will tell people you are a terrible bank" then ask not for a loan from them, but a gift of a lot of money, how do you think they would respond?.

  yet, witnesses now have the the ability to take blood fractions from the blood bank without ever contributing to the blood bank.

  there is a process that the blood bank takes just the plasma from a donor to be used for fractions only.

  The JW that gave the talk on fractions is my old local area didn't know fractions came from blood donations but assumed they were 'made in a lab'.

  Haha! He was probably home-schooled. (My go-to line for any ignorant comment a JW makes.)

  But seriously, this topic ranks up with the topic of education in that it makes me so steaming mad! I had a pretty heated conversation about this with my mother one time. I told her how incredibly hypocrital it is for Witnesses to permit blood fractions and medicines that are made from blood fractions,but they do not allow their members to donate. She didn't even know you could donate just plasma. Long story short ... I won the argument, but it didn't change her viewpoint on it. She just never brings it up anymore.

  As an FYI to anyone to wants to share with their Witness families: http://www.redcrossblood.org/donating-blood/types-donations/plasma-donation

  I have to admit ... it's kind of hard to beat magic underwear on a scale of weirdness.

  The podcast is quite long to listen to ... so here is the gist of it. They had something like 17 categories. (It must have been 17 because the judges scores were like 11 to 6.)

  They discussed each category and the differences in the two religions and then the judges would give a point to either the JWs or the Mormons for each category. It was quite clever.

  Some of the categories were Nature or God, Nature of Jesus, Women, Sex, Education, Hell, End of Times, etc.

  i am not much of a reader as i have two many distractions, but i fancy a challenging read, so please list any book that has changed your entire world view on everything.

  i remember as a teenager buying at a yard sale, norman vincent peales " the power of positive thinking" and at the time that had a big impact on me.

  but i am a little bit more in to " realistic positive thinking" now..

  hey guys, i'm not able to check this site as often as i'd like with two small kiddos to run after.

  just wondering if there has been any strongly worded wt study or direction recently about not associating or socializing with inactive jw family?

  i'm not disfellowshipped but its almost like im getting the shunning treatment from my mom in the last 2 months.

  It goes like that with my JW family, too. It ebbs and flows. Just be patient. It goes against their nature to shun you, so it won't last forever.
