Not only the blood policy
1.Vaccines
2.organ transplants
3.Divorcing your mate for insisting on oral sex
4.Going to prison instead of using your conscience with alternative service
Family's have been torn apart with their twisted views of disfellowshiping.
Yes....they are resposible for many lives ruined.

The dubs have done MANY good things to help others as can be found in many yearbooks regarding tradgedy's and how they have helped others. So have the mormon's.
The sad part is.....when armaggedon comes....all these ones they helped are going to DIE if they do not become witnesses. If they could only believe they are not the only ones that will be saved perhaps they wouldn't get the"damned if they do, damned if they don't" treatment. -

"Why dont you ask your study conductor"??????????
Why would any X-JW want ANYONE TO ASK A jw FOR ANSWERS WHEN ONES COME HERE FOR ANSWERS.
Billy goat hit the nail on the head when she said"Wouldn't we RATHER she ask us and then make a decision, instead of making a decision solely based on JW's input? Sometimes I wonder if you WANT these people to STAY JW's."
Help this person out people!!!
Why the hell don't all of you who posted this ridiculous comment go ask JW"s for asnwers when you need them? -

"Mire of atheism..."

i found these words to be so interesting.

ABADDON says to me..."go STUFF your assuptions. That comment is so typicall of ones who now have no hope. Why do you get so defensive at my post? And how can you ASSUME those who now do not believe in God have reserched enoughed to not believe in him. If they have weighed out both sides...then the choice is theirs. But you have no idea wether they have or not except for the handfull of ones you personally know. (you may know more than a handfull so no need to write back with a nasty post that you do)
Try being a liitle melower in your responses with those you don't agree with dude. -

Wow!!!!!! Seems like about 90% or so who responded to this thread are non believers in the God of the bible! I do have to wonder how hard these ones have put as much effort in material that proves the bible true as they do in material negative to the bible.
I have wondered if many of the fundamental churches were to crumble for some reason as the borg might some day....how many of these ones would also go atheist? I think the emotional hurt from the borg has much more of a negative effect on x-witnesess than would true christians who would lose their churches for some reason. WHY? because witnesess grew to love the borg and never learned about salvation through grace as do true christians believe.
I can think of no other reason why so many who leave the borg turn atheist.
Once one becomes a true believer...the majority do not ever deny it as do x-witnesess. -

It would seem with that many employes in both towers, that there will be quite a number of JW's who have lost there lives. I wonder how many of them were injured badly and the blood issue will come up and will hit the media ...if any.

ex-JW's : Would you go to war?
by Jim Lad inmy ex-brother in law phoned this morning and asked me how i felt about going to war now that i'm not in the org anymore.
with so many years of being told not to i wonder how many of us still feel that way.
would you be worldly conscientious objectors or would you defend...etc.... i'm not trying to antaganize or be inappropriate.

Jesus said: No greater love does one have than to lay down his life for his fellowman.
No christian in his sane mind wants to kill anyone. if someone broke into your home and was about to kill your family would you passively let them? What would be the difference if a madcrazed bunch of religious zelots wants to kill thousands of people in our country?
The apostles and diciples carried swords to protect invaders who would threaten them. Is it more proper to let others do the protecting for you and then you stand back and say "YEA!
I would have a very hard time wanting to go fight myself...but I can't say what I would do untill called upon. -

TRY AND SEE IF A PERSON COULD DROP SOME SHROOMS OR DROP SOME ACID AND COME UP WITH 22 CHAPTERS WORTH OF MATERIAL THAT WOULD RHYME WITH THE REST OF THE BIBLE. SHROOMS OR ACID JUST WASN'T THAT GOOD. WHAT ABOUT THIS IDEA........
"The revelation of jesus christ which God gave him to show his servants-things which must shortly take place. And he sent and signified it by his angel to His servant John."????
COULD IT HAVE HAPPENED THIS WAY MAYBE? -

I DID NOT MEAN TO SEND THIS PART OF MY LAST POST. I DON'T LIKE THIS!
Before sending this, I said a prayer for you. You got a minute? 60 seconds
for God? All you do is simple say a small prayer for the person who sent
you this.
"Father God bless _________ in whatever it is that> you know he/she may be
needing this day! And may ___ life be full of your peace, prosperity and
power as he/she seeks to have a closer relationship with You." Amen
SORRY
