Are blood Transfusions forbidden by God?
Jehovah's Witnesses are taught that blood transfusions are a violation of scripture, what do the scriptures really teach?

Well, this is what I would do. I have some paralegal experience, I am not an attorney mind you, but that being said, I would go to an attorney and simple tell him that you want your legal rights represented on paper and have him or her draw it up for you, it will not cost much. Some states are different concerning such matters thus the reason for going to an attorney to make your wishes known. Once the hospital and the Witnesses for that matter, know that you are being represented by legal counsel concerning this issue I am confident you will have no problem about accepting or refusing blood.

Ex-Jehovah's Witness Survey...
by Tuesday inhey everyone.
another idea came to me tonight while discussing the pew forum survey about how only 37% of jehovah's witnesses remain in the religion from childhood.
the recent watchtower article where it says the majority of people who leave the religion do so in order to commit sin was brought up predictably.

I talked to my sister last night, weird.
by Leprechaun inme and my sister was talking last night, she has been a witness for most of her 68 years and has always seemed reasonable, showed the zombie side of herself, when i mentioned i had read old articles from the consolation magazine on the subject of shots/inoculations, and how they directed the witnesses away from that form of medical help.
i said i wonder how many people have died because of this cult like control.
she quickly and practically went into shock that i would even suggest that the holy governing body would even suggest such a thing to their members.

She quickly and practically went into shock that I would even suggest that the “holy” Governing Body would even suggest such a thing to their members. I had to walk outside her house and pace around a bit and smoke a cigarette because it frustrated me so much to see cult control in action and full glory like that. My wife who was there and who is not a Witness said dear just let sleeping dogs sleep. Holy shit, you would think I said something bad against the “United Federation of Planets, aboard the Star Ship Enterprise.

A man and a woman for that matter have got to get that poison out or they will go crazy. On the matter of Witness kids masturbating, I am sure the Governing Body forms a circle jerk before they create a change in doctrinal matters, so they have a clear mind.

Yes. The elders are the biggest problem with the Witnesses, other than the Governing Body it’s self. I never cease being amazed at how stupid the Witnesses are concerning the bullshit they so readily gobble up and accept as though it is coming right from Jehovah’s own mouth. They might as well be Catholics then they all can bow down to the Pope of Rome, what really is the difference. Freeks

Moscow officials to evict Jehovah's Witnesses from Moscow estate
by Mythbuster inhttp://en.rian.ru/russia/20100203/157764392.html.
officials plan to evict a branch of the jehovah's witnesses from an 18th century estate in northern moscow, the prefect of moscow's northern district, oleg mitvol, said on wednesday.. mitvol claimed the mikhalkovo estate with nearly 100 hectares was illegally privatized by a moscow cotton factory and later sold to the jehovah's witnesses.
the estate is estimated to be worth $350 million.. "we have been receiving continual complaints from veterans that the historic building on mikhalkovskaya street currently houses a branch of the jehovah's witnesses," he added.. russia considers jehovah's witnesses a religious sect and its activities therefore illegal.

Well, it’s about time they evict them, I always thought those on Moscow were smarter than to let them run a-muck this long.

did you feel guilty ,when ignoring disfellowshipped ones ?
by looloo ini was having an affair with a pioneer at the time and a girl who was disfellowshipped was in the loo at the hall (she actually had not done aything scriptually wrong (but the elders thought she had ) i tried to smile at her as i felt i was not in a position to judge anyone as guilt was destroying me but she just looked down at the floor , 14 years later we are good friends and both "free".
when you were "in" and ignored disfellowshipped did you ever think "im not in a position to judge anyone " ?.

Hell yes I sure felt uncomfortable about shunning people. When Monkeys are ignored by the rest of the Monkeys they end up dying. Dam the Governing Body to hell.

JW's view of apostates who die while "out"
by highdose ini wittnessed in my time several woe filled jw's apon hearing that one of their former members had died while out or the "turth".
the typical reaction was " we can only pray to jehovah that their heart condition was right at the end".
wtf!

Even at a very young age I heard this type of La-De-Da bullshit, and was uncomfortable with it. That is why Jesus said you must be as a little child I think, children have a natural sense of propriety.
