  Blood fraction transfusions

  by somebody in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  good morning all ( good afternoon/evening for others ),.

  i've kept up on the topic of blood transfusions and the "fractions" of blood that are acceptable ( according to god=f&ds ).

  i've read up on bloodless surgery too.

  Question about disfellowshipping

  by MoodyBlue in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a question.... if the elders "catch wind" of something that could be a df'ing offense, and they ask for a judicial, if you don't show up or refuse to talk to them, can they disfellowship u in absence??

  if they can, is there any legal action that can be taken against it?.

  i've been threatened by my jw husband (we are separated) because i've met someone else...he is threatening to tell the elders i'm dating someone else ( though as of yet, no "fornication" has occured and it's long distance) if i don't write a letter of disassociation.

  i'm so sorry you have found yourself in this rough spot. as for your ex pressing so hard ...maybe HE is the one trying to cover his tracks. he may not really be all that concerned about bringing reproach on the org. i have found from past experience that the one holloring for "jw justice" or that infamous da letter...he has plans of his own...i'll just betcha!!
  the best thing to do is walk away with your head held high.....go on with your life and be the best you can be.
  the shunning is a bunch of bunk fer sure( i am a current shunee),
  so just go for it and live your life..your life does not depend on the org or elders or any one...only you and the ones you choose to have in your life
  all of the best sistah mb....

  Fred,the Preaching Work,+the WTS 'batting slump'

  by ISP in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the preaching work ,fred and the wts 'batting slump'.

  in a thread below, fred, in a quite daniellesque manner, sought to detract from ray franz's credibility because ray did not promote the wts' preaching activity.. firstly i have to say that fred is not in the easiest position.

  he is a wts apologist of sorts and whereas he might have some support on some other boards like great crowd or wol where his non-sequitors would go quite undetected, he finds it hard going here.

  our house is marked, nobody ever "calls" on us. must be cuz about 3 years ago a car group of sisters pulled up and were "preachin" to my hubby. i was coming up the stairs, so they were TRAPPED!! i listened for a couple of minutes, and when they turned to say something to me, i told them( in my most loving and friendly tone) that i knew all about jw's, i was one at one time....they nearly killed each other stumbling down the stairs to race back to the car group.
  it was both funny and sad. first off, nothing profound was states by either the sisters, or by my husband. no arguing or discussion hadhad a chance to get started.
  i simply told them i was a jw at one time....and they ran like demons had pitch forks pokin' their hinies.
  such fear for former members......
  oh well, maybe they'll log on here

  What do you like about K Halls?

  by philo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi folks.

  what do you like about kingdom halls?.

  i am not talking about the software i.e., the people, the pure language, the music, the smell of lavender as the toilet door swings to, or the obedient rustle of bible pages.

  my younger(devout) jw sister lives in an old kh. i guess the bro's needed a bigger better place.
  any how, they are living in it rent free, but have to renovate it in lieu of $$$.
  i have not been there since my mom passed away, but remember the lay out. the master bedroom has been installed where the platform was. they kept the step up. i'll bet the platform is getting some action it never has seen before!!!!
  i just saw some humor in this.....

  Jesus resurrection was nothing special.

  by unclebruce in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the times in which jesus lived are well documented.

  we know a lot about the historical context of the world in which he lived.

  <font color=blue>adonis/tammuz</font>: the saviour - after being put to death, rose from the dead.

  just remember...for everything GOD does, which is perfect and good, there is a counterfiet.
  so i'm not suprised by the other "god's" similar resurections and ascentions.
  interesting that you found so much info.amazing how much is out there and we have not even scratched the surface
  i'm just learning the computer, and i'm overwhelmd by what i have found on the net so far.
  ty uncle bruce...g'day to ya'll too

  Who's Going to the Memorial??

  by Prisca in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wondering..... for those of us who are inactive, or have serious doubts, etc etc... are you going to the memorial, even though you don't fully agree with how they explain things?.

  anyone planning to have their own at home?.

  or are you still planning on going, even if it's to say g'day to long "lost" friends?.

  the first time i did "communion" and partoke of the bread and wine was an unforgettable experience. i was really doing what our LORD commanded us to do. it was a joyful and meaningful moment for me.
  yes, the memorial sham at the kh is just that.....a sham and a shame, it has nothing to do with Jesus and his dying for us.
  i hope they figure it out one day, but did the pharisees change????

  that is the one thing that i was really impressed by in both of franz's books..his love for his mislead brothers. the info is vast in the "search" book, and was an eye opener in so many respects.
  it just confirmed the things i knew in my heart...wtbs does not have the truth..only Jesus does
  i reccomend that any jw read both of these books

  Are Kingdom Songs Good for You?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a little theory buzzing around in the back of my mind.

  it was triggered by trevors comments re the low self esteem that is endured by many jw youngsters.. i`m wondering if the singing of kingdom songs can actually make you feel depressed and worthless.

  i know it might seem a strange idea at first, but see if my reasoning doesn`t make at least some sense.. i frequently see the tv ad for linguaphone, the language learning course, that uses your repetition of foreign language phrases spoken along with a cassette recording.

  kirk franklin is great...saw him this summer at nashville billy graham crusade...he had the house just wild ...with joyus praise for our LORD.
  i never saw that kind of joy at an assembly, did
  you???
  but i have to relate something here. as a jdub kid and young adult, i remember the disdain and hate the jw's had for billy graham. he's quite old now( like the boyz at brooklyn), and had to be helped out to the stage area to speak. what really hit me hard (i was there for the concert) was his message. He had such a spirit of love about him, and all he wanted to do was share his JESUS with everyone. that's all he has done for decades now. no org, no controlling of minds.
  i started to weep. i had to repent and ask GOD to forgive me for hating this man. i never gave him any thought previous to this meeting. i never watched him on tv. but here in front of 70 thousand ppl was a faithful servant of GOD's whose message was of love, forgiveness, the cross...simple, easy....truthful.
  and i am not one to get swept up in emotion or follow the crowd.but GOD dealt with me right there in my seat. i had the pleasure and the honor to witness a true servant
