  Question for those who went to the RC

  by joe134cd in

  2. experiences

  i'm just curious with all the happy clapping that is now going on with the singing at the conventions.

  what has been the reaction to it with the r&f.

  has anyone ever commented that it reminded them of a pentecostal revival meeting.

  Grooming as a Witness

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  growing up as a teenager, i would occasionally get some counseling for having my hair a bit too long by a couple of elders in the congregation.

  one time i cut my hair shorter than usual and one elder said i was cutting it too short!

  so it made me feel like anything i did wouldn't satisfy them.

  JW's are indeed extremists...

  by HereIgo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the current russia ban on jw's accusing them of extremism got me thinking.

  at first, i disagreed, only because i am used to our constitutional rights here in the u.s. and feel that individuals should be able to practice whatever religion they prefer, even if i disagree with the teachings.

  however, i started thinking of the ways that jw's are in fact extremists and perhaps should be banned.

  my wife and i went to a concert on friday night.

  there was a friend of ours there doing security, and she happens to be an exjw too.

  she sent me a message on messenger to inform me that my brother and his wife were at the show, not knowing that i'd be there too.

  1. jw

  something tells me that the russian j dub's are secretly rejoicing, having private study groups and convinced that armageddon is upon us.

  they will be sadly disappointed.

  thoughts?.

  Family of Jehovah's Witness who died after refusing blood transfusion can't keep suing doctors

  by pale.emperor in

  http://www.pennlive.com/news/2017/07/court_nixes_lawsuit_by_family.html.

  the family of a jehovah's witness who died after repeatedly refusing blood transfusions can't sue the hospital where doctors begged for a chance to save her life, a state appeals court ruled.. the case, outlined in an opinion by superior court judge jacqueline o. shogan, involves a convergence of religion, medicine and the law.. its focus is on what happened before terri seels-davila, a jehovah's witness missionary, died after giving birth at hahnemann university hospital in philadelphia in november 2010.. seels-davila, who had been serving on mission with her husband in nicaragua, chose hahnemann because of its "bloodless medicine" program for patients who won't agree to having blood transfusions, including jehovah's witnesses, shogan noted.

  the treatment plan for seels-davila called for recycling her own blood back into her system.. yet that proved to be inadequate when complications of her delivery required seels-davila to deliver by cesarean section.

  Let's talk about Don Adams.

  by Ray Frankz in

  2. beliefs

  it's interesting that the person of the president of wtbts has figured lesser and lesser since f. franz era.

  i was born in the religion in the 90's and i got to know about russel, rutherford, knorr and franz; but i never knew until a couple of years ago that m. henschel was the president in that time.

  the same happens with don adams now, the first wt president from the 'other sheep'.
