i find it mind numbing that jw's and religios in particular never see this.
jehovah is the patron god of the jews.
yet he treats them like utter shit, worse than slaves.
Amazing isn't that probably the most violent of the supposed gods in recorded history, that people worship this god
right to this very day, from thousands of years ago when the primitive and ancient culture of the Israelites said he did.
Fear, superstition and ignorance add that to need and want of power by men and you have the Jehovah's Witnesses.
for myself growing up in the 60's it was mostly the beatles that drew my attention as well as many others.. as for the entire body of work by them, there might never be another four piece musical group like them.. sad to think that the younger generation today only has thug rap/hip hop trash or britney spears to listen to.. the quality of music may have diminished itself when it started to become more of a visual expression of art rather than .

still not sure the jw's are wrong on blood?.

shape or form is one of the clearest teachings throughout the whole Bible
What an out right blatant lie, the Scriptures are clear on only the dietary laws pertaining to blood,
they do not pertain to the attempt of healing someone by virtue of transfusing blood into a person.
These dietary laws are still practiced today by Orthodox Jews under strict guidelines.
So there is no basis to perceive that blood transfusion are forbidden, all you have to guide yourself
on this matter is that Jesus's commandment of above all other laws is for you to love one another.
Thats his law that is not to be throw aside or abandon for a mortal mans self expressive law.
Another concept to consider is the sacredness of life itself and that is if a known practice would
most likely save your life, than not to accept a blood transfusion is an act of suicide,
which is definitely against the approval of god.
horrible.
another life gone because of stupid ot biblical rules.. http://www.independent.ie/national-news/refusing-blood-cost-jehovahrsquos-witness-her-life-1980879.html.
absolutely horrible... perhaps more so because it is so close to home..
BIG FUDGING DEAL!!!
What an absurd apathetic statement,
So what if thousands of people including children loved by their parents lost their lives needlessly.
All for a bogus mis-interpretation of bible scripture from a known bogus religious publishing company.
Many more died have needlessly also for the WTS's stance on organ transplants and vaccinations.
They changed their stance on these things now, but guess what happens when you get a organ transplant ?
The receiver still gets a blood transfusion because the organ still retains the blood from the giver !
What insensitive cruelty from someone that is the supposed true followers of Christ. ( the healer )
Its like the JWS take no acceptance or acknowledgment that BT have saved millions of lives since it was introduced as a medical practice.
I guess those millions of lives don't mean diddly scwat.
Yes there have been new advancements in medically treating people without the use of blood transfusions,
but the practice of BT has not yet been totally abandoned and may never be.
The ignorant are indeed arrogant embracing their corruption with zealous devotion to the Publishing Corporation.
To commit suicide is a sin plain and simple.

Religions are always coming up with new ideas to make them stand out above the rest.
There is competition out there as everyone is aware of.
The commercialized aspect of religion is like going down a main street of any city
and observe all the used car dealerships with their signs up on front.

I think the move totally out of Brooklyn is just a financial one, the high price for just about anything in that area costs more that anywhere else.
So its makes all the sense to sell off those properties and locate somewhere else.
They have already sold properties in Brooklyn that the WTS previously owned reaping high profits, to sellout and get out of there
which seems to be on their agenda. This is a religious publishing business of sorts, that many people forget once they walk into a Kingdom Hall.
The freedom of religion act might not be as strong as it is in the US but , its certainly here.
As for labor costs, minimum wage rates are higher here than down in the States.
Now health care is indeed cheaper here than the States so that may one of the reasons to move the printing manufacturing up here.
Its an expansion of the printing that they are already doing here not a total resetting up.

They wouldn't for two important reason, the lives lost that have already been taken, which would remove the veil that they are the one only true organization
guided by god and there is also the legal ramifications placed upon them by family members who lost one of their own due
to this maligning doctrine. You can best believe their lawyers went through this quite alot over the years.
Its both sad and amusing how religions like this pick and choose what biblical laws they want to supposedly enforce to
substantiate themselves as a source of spiritualistic power and then leave out what they also desire.

Yes if you don't stay in the light provided by the WTS, god will not see you and you will perish at Armageddon.
Disregard any bullshit we've set out by us in the past though !

Totally agree WTWizard, quality and a lack of substance, combined with variety.
When most of the radio airwaves started playing gansta rap along with hip-hop, you could see the quality spiral its self down.
It might be the push toward money and fame that highlights the artists passions rather than the music they create for the people
and perhaps for themselves.
