if each and every jw were to accept fractions as a matter of conscience, how many of the senseless deaths could be prevented.. .
i have no idea on what is normally given to a person in a transfusion, but from some of the reading i have done, whole blood transfusions, which are strictly forbidden, are very rare.
really how dangerous is the current blood policy...if all jehovahs witnesses were made aware of what is actually allowed and accepted the fractions allowed?
This whole thing still amazes me......the ignorance of the elder I spoke with, he did not get it when I asked questions about blood....can one use fractions.....yes, a MOC, can one store blood......no, it must be poured on the ground, do fractions come from stored blood......yes......
Did not set off any signals at all, I could tell that all critical thinking skills, at least in that area, were numbed by the beliefs/teachings of the GB......

Thanks again Lukewarm, your efforts are very appreciated!
ive kind of been lurking on this website for a month and ive decided to introduce myself so a little background.
i was born and raised jw at about the age of sixteen i started to have doubts about my mothers chosen religion (dad is not jw) so started to do some research and decided it wasnt for me.
my mothers still at me about going back though.
It is strange, my wife is studying with the JWs and she exhausts me, but she does not see how pissed off and exhausted she is after she gets off the phone with her family of JWs.......
here's the book of enoch link for those interested:.
lets compare the book of jude, 2peter and1enoch and notice some startling similarities:.
jude -14 yes, the seventh one [in line] from adam, enoch, (enoch 60: 8 ) prophesied also regarding them, when he said (enoch 1:9): "look!
Just read this thread....five years old, but back to the top for all to read.....good stuff
there's a lot.. one rule that is dumb is that a brother must wear a suit for a sunday public talk that he is giving.
any other time, the brother could wear a suit coat with a different pair of pants and not be counseled for it.. another dumb idea is that you cannot date a person unless you seriously might marry them.
if you're on a date, you were supposed to always have a chaperone and holding hands might not be allowed as well as sitting together.. what other dumb rules and ideas can you add?.
Can not belong to the YMCA.........
Can't have an organ transplant.....oh wait, that changed, a couple of times........
today's text: daniel 12:8: "now as for me, i heard, but i could not understand.
" comments were taken from 1/15/08 watchtower.. november 2, 2009.
5:30 a.m. greeted us with the daily text.
Have found out the quickest way to get the JWs who are 'instructing' my wife in the 'bible' to stop bugging me is to ask for the references, either a list (as it pertains to the trinity brochure) or any old literature that a current article refers to. I get away with it because for the most part that is what I do at my job......check the lower level details!
If anyone who still has an ounce of critical thinking skills remaining were to look into the references, they would see how the whole organization is now built on a foundation of sand.....
