  I knew of an elderly sister that owned and ran a small senior citizens home. The crime she was DFed for is letting the residents eat candy given to them by others on holidays.

  If YOU had to make the decision, would you respect a JW relatives wish to refuse a blood transfusion?

  a few years after i quit the meetings my mum needed her medical directive signed and witnessed and she asked if i'd do it.

  i was surprised to say the least!.

  i think she was just angling to include me and maybe find some lever to get me involved again.

  As for the B&W thinking:

  All I said in my first post is that I would respect my mothers wishes.

  Then a few people try to tell me that I am wrong without knowing the nuances of my situation. It was not an argument that I was looking for. I just had a few ignorant people trying to convince me that I am wrong without knowing any of the facts.

  Frankly I do not care what anyone thinks about my decisions, unless they know the entirety of my situation, and I respect their opinion. OTWO does, and I appreciated his imput. I am now done talking about it.

  Let the know-it-alls continue on . . .

  "There is a lot of muddled thinking in this thread."

  And a lot of black and white thinking too. Where was that learned?

  Another heavy load :Literature Cart Witnessing

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah's witnesses standing on a street corner publicly promoting the propaganda of the governing body!another ridiculous form of "forced loyalty" to jehovah.

  "dirty work" that the wtbts make witnesses go through.preaching work '' lite''.putting more heavy loads on members while the ''faithful and discreet slave'' preach from warm studios without the humiliation.

  what an embarrassment!.

  Demonic art in the watchtower?

  by Lost and adrift in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  does anybody remember a rumour or maybe it was a truth?

  ?...something about hidden pictures or symbols in the artwork of the watchtower.

  was it one of those urban legends?

  The BBD on the back of the songbook was pretty obvious.
