i ask because some posters say they felt totally humiliated, or wonder how they could have been sucked in, or some are extremely bitter and angry about their past.
over the nearly 4 years i've come to totally accept that i was a jw, but have made my peace, and honestly can say i've forgiven, if you will, that part of my life.
totally moved on and do not have negative feelings about it.
I have felt the whole gamut of emotions,I was fifty-eight years in,so a wasted life. I think the hardest thing is knowing that you have been lied to for all that time.
I am angry that they still try to hide the truth about their murderous Blood Doctrine and I will try to open the eyes of those at risk whenever I can.
Thanks ALL for your posts,they help so much in the healing-recovery process.

is it when you see them out in service?.
is it when you walk into the kingdom hall?.
is it when they open with song?.
When the public see Dubs approaching they say in their hearts "Jesus Christ its those nutty Dubs again" thats ' bout as much as JDubs do to make people think of Our Lord. shame on them.

http://wiki.noblood.org/polyheme.
what is polyheme and how is it made?it has been scientifically found that raw hemoglobin can be toxic outside of the red blood cell and that in order to make a safe, effective substitute the hemoglobin molecule must be made larger than its natural state.
polyheme, according to the northfield labs website, is a solution of chemically modified hemoglobin derived from human blood.
Thanks for posting this Purps,it will be interesting to see the official WT response to this development,no doubt the conscience of each Witless will be invoked so that any of them that die for refusing this life saving treatment will take responsibility themselves for their actions.
I am sure "Legal" will write a very carefully worded dirctive that isn't, in law ,a directive.

p.s thanks for ALL your posts,much appreciated
the guardian newspaper (published in london uk) reports (mon 15th dec page 23) that a class action is being attempted against the vatican (in the 6th us circuit court).
because "its officials were involved in a deliberate effort to cover up evidence of sexual abuse ...".
"case centres on a 1962 directive from the vatican telling church officials to hide sex abuse complaints against clergy".

I wonder if this or very similar action was not undertaken by the WTBS in early letters to Bodies of Elders in how to deal with child abuse.Would not anything short of an explicit instruction to go STRAIGHT to the authorities be tantamount to a cover up attempt?
In the Letters to BOE's that I have downloaded the pertinent one is missing.
Anybody got a copy??

for the brothers .... suit jacket and pants must always match as part of a complete suit.sport jacket and slacks not permitted.shoes must be polished (i had to go home and change shoes once).shirt should be white or close to white (i.e.
no dark colored dress shirts).do not wear bright colored suits or suits with more than one color (not including pin stripes).tie should not be bright colored or have too many colors.pants should have cuffs (this was recommended, not a rule).suit jacket must be buttoned up at all times (although you may wait until you begin speaking to button up your jacket).never put your hand in your pocket, even for one second.legs must be close together (his exact words were "do not have a horse stance").heels must be together but toes should be slightly apartif you are holding a microphone, the microphone must be point just above the chin, not at the mouth.if you are holding a microphone, do not put the other hand in your pocket (i cannot stress this enough, they will get you for this).do not lean on the lectern (podium, pulpit).whew!
strict dress-code guidelines straight from the presiding overseer.
I suppose I was "lucky" to be in a tolerant hill-billy type country congo. When I arrived in 1970 the Cong Servant congratulated me for wearing a tie,as prior to his arrival some months before me,even on the platform,nobody bothered.
It was a muddy boots and coats tied up with string congo.This laid back attitude continued,for years I gave Public Talks etc. and did not OWN a suit.During the years 1975 to 1988 I wore a beard,for many of those years giving PT's and serving as a Min. Serv.
I was never counselled about this.
I think being in this kind of Congo.though great compared to other local congos run by Nazis,delayed my waking up until last year,2007.
Their present dress code makes them really weird,how different from Our Lord Jesus,bearded and sandelled he just melted into the crowd,he was not "identified by the way he dressed" as Witlesses are.(Today Jesus would not be allowed to visit Bet-hell if he dressed in the worldly way as was his custom)

i have updated the information at http://www.jwfacts.com/index_files/statistics.htm to include the 2008 figures.
here are a couple of the more interesting charts.. the following shows the increase in memorial partakers, which has been discussed at length in other threads.. .
the following two are my favourites.
Presumably at least 1% per year of the annointed die (WT speak "Finish their earthly course") so that is about 1500 who have dropped out during the eighteen years of your graph,they can't all have been fake partakers,so isn't the heavenly corral for the 144k REALLY full up?

i have been debating on how best to get the word out about jws and the wts... i have thought about blogs... but i just can't get myself to create the blog... and my youtube videos that i colaborated on with v have been successful on youtube... i have received many comments, and some inquiries from active jws based on the video.
.
i have created an introductory video that will give some background and you can see my style... i am also looking for constructive feedback... at the moment i am using windows movie maker, so the graphics are pretty cruddy, i apologize... if you know of a cheap or free movie editor that would be great.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtdmkgfxml4.
Can't wait for the next exciting installment !!!!
Great,well done! I believe this will reach a wide audience and do much good.
