  Letter to all Congregations - Synthetic Hormone EPO (Erythropoietin) now OK and NO longer a conscience matter

  by LUKEWARM in

  epo injections have been on the acceptable list for quite some time - the preparation contains a small amount of albumin.. .

  a friend of mine tells me a letter was read in his congregation last week after the service meeting stating that these injections don't contain any blood fractions and are no longer a conscience matter.. .

  anyone know more details?.

  My Mom used it when her blood count dropped so low she could hardly walk around. The Liaison Committee helped her get funding through a drug company for it. Although she did pay for her first week. ($1200). At first she had declined it thinking it had Human Albumin in it. She was informed by the committee that she was allowed to have it and then changed her mind. She died of blood loss 2 months later. Her blood count did not increase at all. She was bleeding internally and so it did no good. She will be dead one year tomorrow.

  Mama will not be transfused

  by voodoo lady in

  i've been a long-time reader of this site and have found it everything from informative to entertaining... but i'm now posting because i'm craving the ears (or eyes, i guess) of people who understand.. .

  my mother was just last week diagnosed with an "ovarian type" cancer.

  the oncologist discussed with her how far the cancer has already spread, and said she would operate immediately to remove as much of it as possible, but would not proceed if my mother resisted a transfusion as the risk of blood-loss will be too great.

  Hi voodoo lady

  This hits close to home for me. I just lost my mom after a five year struggle with ovarian cancer. She eventually had to quit getting surgery because she would not accept a transfusion and her blood was too low to operate without the option. This is a hard road when you don't agree with her choice.

  Unfortunetly, as with my mom she probably won't want to change her mind.

  Fortunatley the wts is pretty good at finding surgeons to operate without blood, and you might as well work with them.

  My heart goes out to you

  The Rise of the Conscious Class

  "i believe in one god, and no more; and i hope for happiness beyond this life.

  i believe the equality of man, and i believe that religious duties consist in doing justice, loving mercy, and endeavoring to make our fellow-creatures happy.

  but, lest it should be supposed that i believe many other things in addition to these, i shall, in the progress of this work, declare the things i do not believe, and my reasons for not believing them.

  i know some of us are having fun reading and commenting on the watchtower facebook page and it got me wondering how many of us would have joined it when were in.. i know i would certainly not have.

  i was never what you would call a spiritual witness.

  i only stayed in as my friends were are witnesses and really went for the social aspect.

  i received this crap from my jw mom today.

  i hope it doesn't "encourage" you to go back .

  you see, when i left, i immediately felt the relief of not being burned all the time by all of the gossip that occurs within the congregations, circuits, etc.

  this just in from the rumor mill.. the society are selling their printing presses in mexico and that the mexican witnesses would now have to get all of their literature from the canadian branch from here on out.

  needless to say, the mexican jws are livid.. as you know the society did the same thing with the madrid branch in spain.

  as of this past october all literature now comes from the london branch.. rr.

  they were effective preachers of the good
  news because they set their hearts to follow
  the example set by jesus .-Acts 4:13;1 Pet. 2:21.

  2 How Jesus Taught: His teaching was
  simple, down-to-earth, and easy to undertand.

  I like this paragraph. The rest of the paragraphs...not so much. Unfortunately they have written the right message but will twist into meaning something else.

  His example should be followed . They should be spreading this simple message. Jesus is Lord and if you put faith in him , help others, love your god and your neighbor he will grant you the free gift of life.

  Thanks for the download
