41Site To Refute Franz And Cameron
by Bangalore ini found this site set up by a loyal jw who wants to refute books like "crisis of conscience" and "captives of a concept".
i thought loyal jw's were not even supposed to read such books.. .

if one is not so entitled we may be evasive
Why, pray tell, "may we be"? What's wrong with a simple "that is none of your business"? If he's not entitled to the truth, why does that entitle me to tell lies?
As Stephen said, we know who is the father of lies... and these are his children. Edit: for clarification by "children" I'm refering to the ones this idea is originating from, not the average JW, they're just caught in the web of lies.

new blood rules?
by xbro inbeen out the 'link' for a bit,is it true theyre now allowing it?
or is it just if yiour face fits?.

On further thinking about it, maybe this whole "fractions allowed" changing was because all the deaths lay heavy on the GB's conscience? I've heard that full blod is very rarely used for transfer, it only happens when the patient has an accident and loses a massive amount of blood. In normal surgery they only use the needed fractions. So by accepting all fractions the mortality rate should drops significantly.
My wife got a DVD about the alternative methods not long ago, and I peeked in. They go on blabbing how the alternative methods are cheaper, the patients recover faster, it doesn't have the dangers of blood, etc. etc. But they say nothing about the most important statistics: mortality rate!
My wife's grandma was in the hospital not long ago, and the blood issue came up, so they asked the doctor casually, that if they give blood, can they guarantee the success? Alas they can't. The JW family feels sattisfied with that answer. Of course they can't! How stupid that question is? The correct question is: what has higher chance of success? (The grandma is fine now, didn't needed blood if you're wondering).

Highdose: my bad, it's Bulgaria. There are many threads on this, for example this: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/medical/185942/1/Clarification-on-Blood-in-Bulgaria the last post by TD describes the matter in short. Or try the search on "blood Bulgaria" on the site.

Full blood is still forbidden, they only allow fractions of the blood (you know, like ham, buns, and salad is ok to eat, sandwich is forbidden).
You may have heard of the Bulgary trial, where the government wanted to ban them because of the blood rule, so they said "noone is automatically disfellowshipped if they take blood". But that is just a simple lie to avoid ban. In truth they don't get "automatically DFd", they put a judicial committee first, where they disfellowship. It's not automatic at all...

Did you loathe going in field service, if so why?
by HappyGuy ini always felt like i was not a "spiritual" person because i loathed going in field service.

A JW reading this would say: "see, this is why you left the Truth, you didn't wanted to do God's work!"
Yep, hated it too. My reason was very clear to me: I didn't like bothering people! If I happened to find someone who seemed genuinely interrested I loved going to him/her, talking about just how bad this world is, how good God is, etc. etc. But knocking on an unknown's door, and in 99% getting the houseowner pissed off was just not right.
I knew I didn't like it when that happened to me. When I'm home most of the time I am busy with something, either some housework, or watching TV, etc. In all cases a distraction is not welcome. If it's a distraction I don't even want, then it's an annoyance. And I knew I was the person who delivered that annoyance to others.

All I can say to this is that I don't like cucumber, and it's good that I don't like it, because if I'd like it i would eat it, but I hate it.

Since leaving I'm very naughty. I even watched some... *gasp* R rated movies! I am certainly doomed.
That is all though, not much else have changed. It's just not my style, whether in or out.

Everytime I'm starting to feel better about the JW's, a brother or sister or the Watchtower will say something just totally wacky.
But then, everytime I'm starting to not like 'em, some apostate will say something totally wack
Yep, it's weird to see how much alike the JWs and the rest of the world are, isn't it? They have their nice people, we have our nice people, they have their wackos, we have our wackos... So then forget about the people, and look at the rest. You have a problem with not being allowed to question. So do I. That is enough for me personally to not want to be part of it, even if they were the nicest group of people on Earth.
