it was in the sunday telegragh on page 18 "a murder attempt in chuch".
someone that was disfellowshiped has been trying to poison an elder and his family in adelaide.
i certainly don't agree with this at all, but i do understand this man doing something like this.
Certainly anyone writing should ensure they do not condone the man for trying to poison the elder and his family. Two wrongs do not make a right.
There are many people in the world that have suffered at the hands of others, that does not mean they should take the law into their own hands.
There are other legal ways that this person can use to expose what has happened to them.
the understanding of the society was that transplants were a conscience matter from 1967 til 1973?
then were forbidden from 1973 til 1981?.
however was it possible to have a transplant without any blood transfusions?
Over the years countless witnesses have died because the society had decided that transplants, vaccinations and any type of blood transfusion was wrong.
Thankfully most of that has changed now but that will not help the thousands that have died through misinformation.
i now find it idiotic that i could ever beleive the bible to be the inspired word of god.....,throughout the bible "god"has only dealt with a few of his favoured spokespersons to deliver his messages to a minority populace.individuals at first,..... then, patriarchs,nomads,a small nation,ignoring all other nations that had sprung up.......,abandoning his chosen nation,sending his "son"to a small nation, only giving them his pearls of wisdom,much of what was not even recorded for prosperity and remember he never wrote a word,it was left up to other imperfect humans to record what he was supposed to have said,just a smidgen......,again ignoring the bulk of humankind keeping them in ignorance of his plan for universal salvation,leaving it all up to imperfect humans to spread this message of salvation, whom he has already condemned for their sinfullness and disobedience.i just find it so unbeleivable.
in the 6000 years of recorded history only a fraction of the earths population,maybe less than a third have ever heard of the god of the bible, or his so called plan to redeem humankind ,thats millions and millions of people.
( india,arabic,afghanistan,pakistan etc.etc.).
When pressed JWs have to admit at least half the world has never ever heard the JW message.
they warn the person actually reading the book that they should heed their warnings of armageddon, as it "will come in your lifetime".
since they now pin it on the life of anybody who reads the book, only one of those who read it needs to die to prove them wrong.. if i die it didnt come in my lifetime neither!
don t these clowns really think about some of the stuff they print?.
The sheep are constantly programmed for the society to change things as light increases. They would not bat an eyelid if that quote was pointed out to them.
i'm trying to get hold of km's from the period from 1970 to 2009 and 2011. would anyone happen to have these in pdf that you can kindly send me please?.
thanks so much in advance!!.
naeuca.
They are also available on the societies 2011 Watchtower library CD, but only as single copies. Depends what you want them for.
i know that many will have seen the site jw-archive.org before, but i have only just discovered it.
someone has taken the trouble to give more details about the 2011 service report.. for instance it shows the actual increase or decrease in publishers not just the rounded up or down figures.
it also shows percentage increases for certain areas like europe or africa.. apologies if this has already been shown, but i found it very informative and interesting.. i can't get a link to it to work, but to get there, copy and paste the web address below, then select ' updated full report via pdf'.

Have fun
i have a friend who has been a jw for a couple years (baptized).
she might have to undergo gallbladder surgery.
i'm worried for her (about the blood issues)and have made that known.
I had my gall bladder out a couple of years ago. It was done by key hole surgery and is a very common operation with minimal chance that a blood transfusion is needed.
every cong.
i ever went to in australia had a high number of 1. window cleaners.
2.general cleaners.
We were talking about this on Topix the other day. I beieve that some congs are better than others re getting a decent job. One witness said that they had many proffesional people in the cong. However in my experience there are certainly more cleaners etc in the organisation than in the general workplace percentagewise. Which is hardly surprising as the society do not encourage further education.
this trailer is circulating on jw apologist sites and youtube channels just in time for their annual reminder on no blood.

I think most people would agree that blood transfusions come with a risk. However to say that they do more harm than good is stupid. Why would a doctor give blood if it was not needed or if it would give the individaul more problems in the long run. These days, often just fractions of blood are given. Clearly there is a reason for that. The doctors are just giving what the person actually needs.
Thanks for downloads. Anyone in UK got scans of the British addition with the field service highlights. It would be good to see what is happening here.
