Bryan:
I asked my library if they could get your book for me via interlibrary loan. The librarian said, "Most libraries won't loan their NEW books to to other libraries but you could put in a request for US to buy it." So I did.
Just have a feeling they're going to do it. Will let you know if they do.
Prayerful consideration has convinced me that this is yet another story that needs to be told.

ANY OF YOU IN KANSAS OR MISSOURI PERSONALLY AFFECTED BY THE BLOOD ISSUE?
by Scatteredsheep ina couple of newspapers with readers in kansas and missouri may want to do feature articles based on the big news.
for this they'll need some local human interest.
feature articles will help keep the big news alive in people's minds for a long time.

Rebel8:
I'm the one that's looking. Not for the "experts" like you'd expect to find on AJWRB, but for ordinary down-home folks that are affected by this. I'd like to be able to show the Feature Editors that there's that kind of story out here. But maybe there isn't.
If no one else comes forward, I doubt they could make a feature article out of just my one little experience.
Oh well. I tried. -

sKally:
By "human interest" I meant personal stories and/or comments from people in Kansas and Missouri, so the newspapers can SHOW, rather than just SAY, that local people really are personally affected by this issue.
For example, I can tell them that I was raised as one of Jehovah's Witnesses and, as a result of what I was taught, have always had the impression that blood transfusions were extremely risky and that non-blood substitutes were always a safer choice even in dire emergencies. But after prayerful consideration of the information in Kerry Lauderback-Wood's article, I realize that I was misled and I've stopped carrying my NO BLOOD card.
Do any of you in Kansas/Missouri have a similar experience to relate?
More dramatic experiences that illustrate the harm the Society's misrepresentations of medical facts have caused, would be even better.
Or if you just want to tell how you FELT after reading the article in the JOURNAL OF CHURCH & STATE, (and give the reporter permission to quote you, of course) that might work.
Does that help clear things up, sKally? Any more questions? Feel free to ask. You might be wondering how the word "local" could apply to two whole States. Well, people are kind of spread-out here. One large newspaper, THE KANSAS CITY STAR is read in both Kansas and Missouri, pretty much statewide, I think.

Have any of you in Kansas or Missouri ever had a friend or relative die because they refused a blood transfusion? Or have you had any other significant experiences related to the blood issue? Or do you feel you were misled in any way by the medical "facts" on blood published by the WTS? Or has the article in the JOURNAL OF CHURCH AND STATE made any significant change in your belief about blood transfusion? If so, would you be willing to talk to a reporter about it? -

Do you feel that Jehovah drew you away from Jehovah's Witnesses?
by Scatteredsheep ini just joined this forum and while reading old entries came across the following question from may/05: "do you miss feeling that jehovah was listening to your prayers?
" that question and the responses gave me the courage to ask the above question.
about 3 years ago, 5 publishers, including me, were disfellowshipped after jehovah led us to speak up to our elders regarding their inconsiderate treatment of victims who came to them for help.

Apostate Kate: You said, “Acts 1:8 - But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Sama'ria and to the end of the earth." (Jesus' witnesses!)” (Sorry, I haven’t learned how to get the quotes to come out highlighted. Any tips would be welcome.)
I think you and others are right about JW’s not giving enough attention to Jesus. On the other hand, Jesus did say, “My Father is greater than I am.” And he taught us to pray to the Father, rather than to him. And the name Jesus means, “Jehovah is salvation.” So apparently we’re to be witnesses of both Jesus and his Father. Is that how you understand it? -

lonelysheep: You said, “I did feel that way when I still wanted to believe in their jehovah. “
My heart goes out to you and all the others who’ve indicated that you can’t bear to think of our Heavenly Father as Jehovah anymore because of your experiences in the organization that bears that name. I’m sure Father is willing to have you call him something else, in that case.
Although I do address him as Father now when I pray to him in Jesus name, I grew up knowing and loving Him as Jehovah so it would be very hard for me to give up calling him that sometimes. I hope you won’t stop speaking to me on that account.
