  It truly was BIG news . . . . . . but not for everyone.

  i've been digesting the news since about 5am and i'll admit to having mixed feelings.

  i think i need to explain some background and then what i have to say should make more sense.

  i was 'raised in the truth' as were my 2 brothers and 2 sisters.

  Is it big news? Time will tell.

  when trying to predict what will or will not happen one needs to look at history, and facts of human nature.. 1. if a single lawyer thinks he/she can make a single dime suing the wt using this legal argument, he/she will sue!.

  i think it is extremely likely that a law suit will be brought up soon.. 2. if a single news outlet thinks they can make a single dime telling this story, they will tell the story!.

  i think this is where it is our responsibility to do everything we can to make the above extremely likely pending lawsuit known to the press.. 3. if any lawyer wins a single dime in a law suit against the wt, all the other lawyers will notice this and they will sue!.

  Journal of Church and State: WT NO-BLOOD EXPOSE'

  by AndersonsInfo in

  (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.

  idiots who scream you're wrong when you're not--road rage

  by rebel8 in

  besides my desire to hit 700 posts before noon (est) and a general base appeal for validation and attention (heee, hee), i would like to vent about something that just happened.. i was at an intersection with another vehicle.

  he was in the left turn only lane (conveniently located on the left); i was in the lane very clearly marked as left or right turn only (conveniently located to the right of the other driver)...meaning i have the option of turning right or left, right?

  so the light turns green and we both turn left.

  A religion with nothing to Celebrate

  by eyeslice in

  how sad that the witnesses have nothing to celebrate.

  the more i think about it since i stopped going to the meetings, the more i feel that spirituality and religion are about opportunities to give thanks and to celebrate life with family and friends.

  christenings or name giving ceremonies celebrate the gift of a new life to a family.

  Anti-semitism & JW's

  by avishai in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm not surprised @ a lot of the anti-semitic, or borderline anti-semitic statements on this site lately, as the jw's bash the jews almost as bad as the catholics, so that is part of our basic programming being raised jw.

  also, if you look at there publications, the "bad jews" i.e.

  saducees & pharisees have your typical hooknose, hitlerian "dirty jew" look about them, while jesus & friends usuallly look aryan.

  BREAKING MY SILENCE EVERYONE READ!!!

  as ive made it known on this board, my current status with the watchtower bible and tract society is that of inactive.

  this is a loophole i have utilized, to keep an open channel of communication with family members in the organization.. i want to clarify with everyone: i do not hold any doctrinal ideas, theology, ideology, opinions expressed in any form by the wtbts.

  therefore, to simply put, i do not believe in the wtbts in any way, shape, or form.
