my jw mom had a bad car accident, she has neck problems and she might need a transfusion, so this is what ray means when illusion meets with reality, anyway i need to voice my opinion on the matter without pushing her away..
Tell your mom, that today, what is called "blood transfusions" are in reality, only "fractions" of blood, not all blood.
So, if we can accept some fractions, there are not bases for not accept all the fractions. For example, we can accept hemoglobin, so why not accept all the red blood cells from wich derivates the hemoglobin?
how he loves us - kim walker / jesus culture .
awesome!.
GREAT SONG!!!!
i finally resigned as an elder.
my conscience wouldn't allow me to continue.
i've battled for years trying to reconcile the fallacies of the wt society with my own personal beliefs.
Franklin, yours words express exactly my fellings about my process in stepdown about the elder thing.
Me too resignate sometime ago, and I'm feeling so much relief and happy. My conscienc bother me too much to continue to be a elder.
You do the right stuff.
a full billboard ad in my area along a busy heavily travelled highway would cost about $500.
would probably get lots of attention and maybe even a news article, who knows.
$500 is cheap and easily affordable.
See the news billboards in Brazil about disfellowshipping:

the april 2011 awake (downloadable on jw.org) contains a watching the world article on the catholic paedophile abuse situation in ireland.. quite apart from the sheer hypocrisy in criticising other religions when the society has enough child abuse problems of their own , they make this statement "the abuse was ignored because of misguided loyalty to the absolute authority of the catholic church.
" this from an organisation that demands complete submission to their absolute authority.. i can't help think of barbara & joe anderson who were disfellowshipped because they refused to submit to the absolute authority of the governing body and spoke out against child abuse..
I think that they want to maintain the average witness in disbelief of what the news report about child abuse within the organization. So, if they continue to tell about child abuse in others denominations, its a way of distract them from the real problem inside.
The average witness believes that all people that pratice such crime in the organization is disfellowshipped and the Governing Body wants that myth continues.
I'm sorry for my ignorance, but can you explane me what is YMCA?

hey everyone, just wondering if there's an online version of this book?
i don't know what it is about me but i have this natural aversion to actual paper books and would much rather read them online.
if anyone has an electronic copy shoot me a pm, or knows of a link where i can get an e-copy, links, i checked amazon and it's not an option to download for a kindle or anything.. the ongoing anal-retentive research for my project continues, any help would be fantastic.. thank you!.
I understand that Greg is no longer a Jehovah's Witness . In this third edition of the book, although he advocates some doctrines of the Society , still expressed disagreement with respect to others. He say that defends the teachings that seem to have solid foundation in the Bible , not going after particular interpretations.
