  The Blood muddle

  by leo999 in

  i could do with some help to sort out this fraction muddle .we are inactive and of the conscious class , but trying to help others see the 'light' in whatever ways we can .. a couple of years ago , i asked an elder about the fractions , questioning particularly the 33% hemoglobin allowed in the 06 km insert .

  when i was a wee girl growing up , nothing of any part was allowed and we were fanatical to even write manufacturers and question their ingredients !!.

  i would like to have a list of allowable fractions according to the societies current light , and also what fractions are not allowed .

  What is the WT's Motivation? Who Benefits?

  by InterestedOne in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  another thing my jw friend says to me when i question the wt is, "what would their motivation be?

  they're so humble and no-one gets paid except a basic living allowance for the workers at bethel.

  they're not like those other rotten 'ministries' whose leaders get paid a lot of money, etc.".

  bttt......I am interested in answers to some of this too . When someone is used as a consultant for the WTBTS how much are they paid ? What about the legal department what kind of wages do they get ? Is it listed somewhere ?

  just go ahead and do it in some way if you like.

  put off the wts thinking and enjoy your family and life.

  it's really no big deal.

  I have worked in a gift shop that has a huge Christmas section for many years . So it was easy for me to bring all the decor into my home once I quit the JWs .I was use to being around all of it already . I started slow and now have graduated to a full size tree and lights outside on the house . Next year the house is going to be totally lit up ! A friend at work gave me ALL her lights ,but it is too cold to put them up this year .

  do you miss anything from when you were a jw?

  by Newborn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a few of my friends who also used to be jw's, say they miss certain things abt it...i can honestly say that i don't miss a single thing (my sister obviously who's still in but nothing else).. before i could sometimes miss having such a strong belief but that's also gone.

  i guess i've moved on big time.
