The WTBTS ban on blood is stupid , when john said do not eat blood he was talking about litterally eating it as a food not using it to save people from death from lack of blood . As we know the pagans that were converted still had the custom of eating improperly bled meat and using blood in all sorts of puddings , john recognized it as a health risk since eating blood is not healthy. It had nothing to do with the mosaic law of which jesus abolished on the torture platform ,,

Blood Transfusion Increases Mortality in Heart Attacks
by Earnest ini understand that the objection to blood transfusions by jehovah's witnesses is purely a scriptural one.
whether or not there are medical benefits to avoiding blood transfusions is, or should be, irrelevant.
however, for those who are not convinced by jw understanding of the scriptures in this regard, and those who don't believe either in the bible and/or in god, the fact that blood transfusion is associated with increased mortality in heart attacks may be of interest.. a systematic search of studies published between january 1, 1966, and march 31, 2012, was conducted using medline, embase, cinahl, scopus, web of science, and cochrane central register of controlled trials databases.

Rumor of new light on the headquarters of the WT
by wolfman85 ini read in a forum in spanish that there is a strong rumor spreading in the corridors of the wt.
has anyone heard anything about this??
the change that is emerging is this: the great crowd has not yet appeared, and it is a group that comes out of the great tribulation.

yep they are nothing but false prophets . I don't ever remember hearing any of the GB getting thrown in prison or executed for the preaching work , jeeze they are supposed to leave all things behind and go on a crusade for christ then be murdered for the preaching work to prove yourself worthy for the LF .all I've seen is them living a comfy life in a condo in NY whilst playing some sort of promotions game for others to fight the fine fight in dangerous territories , ok fat cat why not just you be that person yourself? Then they pull the rug out from under them by becoming an NGO with the UN and now no condemnation against babylon or the beast , unbelievable , then guess what , we aren't the actual FDS in charge of anything but still FDS .. wow amazing

didn't seem to make sense to talk about solomon there and then try to convince people that material wealth is not going to make people happy but again obedience will, as I see they don't want to use the word obedience like they used to ,thanks to this board and the spying going on, probably . Solomon is a horrible example , the song of solomon is just as disgusting with all the polygamy going on there but I'm thinking since solomon was the only son left alive he was the only one that could deliver the promise of the messiah by davids house . The apostle Paul is usually contradicting himself and jesus , jesus told the little flock to sell all their worldly possesions and give gifts of mercy to the poor and there's the apostle Paul stating it's ok to keep your stuff just keep up with the preaching work . Of course according to the WTBTS the bible doesn't contradict itself so then noone better say it does, or else . should have been a gag alert there ,lol

I see also the other sheep jesus was talking about were the gentiles who after jesus died were also part of Gods chosen ones and has nothing to do with the GC thousands of years later , the jews were to remain seperate from gentiles up to that point then rather than exclude them from worship in the temple they were now part of the temple . Jesus was only trying to be inclusive but the GB turned it into what it is today and now they have to realize it because of the new changes for the FDS . What a web we weave when we practice to deceive ....

Of course none of that makes them false prophets promising people for nearly a hundred year they would never die . good grief it's like why were so many people so blind ? oops our last prospect for the 1914 generation just dropped dead , ohh my let's make them believe we didn't lie but were merely imperfect men and we aren't appointed over them anyway ... OMG I'm looking at all this insanity thinking I'm so glad they couldn't convince me of it to begin with tho they used every piece of leverage in the books to think I even gave an honest effort to let them show me their beliefs about 3 years ago , nobody mentioned the UN at all , I swear for a year and a half or so the new publications have absolutely nothing there , I never really heard them say anything about the generation dogma ,it' wasn't in the new releases , instead they were mostly focused on minor prophets and how god was going to still refine things , I mean looking back now I can see the manipulation .

Grey's Anatomy 1/31/2012 - "Bad Blood" about a JW kid in the ER
by Gopher ini don't closely follow this show, but this week's episode (bad blood, season 9 episode 13) was captivating for me as an ex-jw.
one of the story lines centered on a 19-year-old boy whose family is jw (but he is obviously a fringe jw) - brought into the emergency room after a serious skateboarding accident by his friend who was totally unaware he was jw.. the episode summary along with a "watch this episode" link is linked below.. i found most of the jw storyline quite realistic (except for a "we believe prayers can yield miracles" quote from one of the jw's - i think it was the mother).
after the parents refused a blood transfusion for the boy, the resulting chaos and philosophical arguments were riveting to watch.. http://abc.go.com/shows/greys-anatomy/episode-detail/bad-blood/1062764?page=1.

Just watched it and I mean I never watch greys anatomy , more like a CSI guy but they did show the insanity of the blood delusion . You can see the dubs at home trying to rationalize how jr. was with his worldly friends and had it coming .

reading it again looks like they are saying they are the FDS but not appointed over the domestics ? Still this is looking like they are dodging all the claims of being the representatives of the kingdom of the heavens and thus demanding obedience as a legal authority , hmm sounds like they've been sued over something to where they are force to disclaim authority and guess what ? after all they are just a book publishing corporation and are not liable for the lives they ruin ....

woah , now they are saying the slave hasn't been appointed yet ? I thought they were saying the tribulation started in 1914 and then rutherford was given the keys to the kingdom , good god , they just up and change all that . I can see them wanting damage control because there are alot of people claiming LF status and seems to be growing every year despite their statements the numbers will diminish . Holy smokes ...

A comet coming to end the world? Useful information?
by EntirelyPossible inthoughts?
a woman named amanda started hearing a voiced telling them that a comet was going to destroy the earth.
they bought a house in the north carolina mountains to prepare, thinking the voice belongs to the dead former owner of the house.

I've seen scientists explore the chance of asteroid the size that killed the dinos off hit the earth and being able to survive , 0 . just about everything would be on fire .
I do know the jdubs believe that they may have to survive a period of survival before being rescued since some are weak when it comes to food they may very well pass that test . Probably try to eat their neighbor . LOL I've seen some porky ones in my time

I'm surprised the jdubs don't prep , they are the biggest dooms day cult going . that is kinda an interesting show as I'm thinking obsession with the end of the world as we know it may be a mental illness
