I had one brother try to tell me that the blood for the fractions came from animals and that fractions are not the same as blood.
Look at post 2731 from me on this page for a breakdown of his explanations.
He never could answer the question...

I'am in the Penalty Box! I asked the Circuit Overseer "Who Donates Blood For Jehovah's Witnesses Blood Fragments".
by AuntConnie intold my husband to put a muzzle on my mouth over the blood dogma.
we all were driving around in field service when the topic of "which fragments would you take if you were in a car accident or cut yourself badly".
said his choice is a personal one, another sister with chronic health problems said she had no problem with the governing body's new light on taking various fragments.

My Walmart encounter with the dubs today
by poppers inyup, there were 3 of them camped out in front of the store with their display of materials - first time i've seen them there.
he said he converted 5 years ago from the presbyterians, and that he had learned more in 1 year with the jws than all his time with the presbyterians (the usual stuff, jesus died on a stake, paradise earth, etc).
he claimed he didn't know about the invisible return of jesus, he was dismissive of the impact of disfellowshipping and that people can leave with little consequence, he claimed that the romans didn't use a cross until 200 years after jesus died on the stake.

It is amazing the sheer level of ignorance you would find in many Jehovah's Witnesses when you press them about their teachings.
Sometime back, I had a pioneer brother, who I refer to here as "Brother Hero," approach me to offer to study the Bible with him (using their publications of course). I was amazed at the sheer level of ignorance this man had concerning their doctrines. Here was a man who had been 'in the truth' for forty years. My wife always feigned, "I am just studying the milk of the truth," whenever I questioned her concerning their doctrines and she could not explain them. I guess this gentleman you spoke with was still nursing on the 'milk' and was not ready for the 'meat.'
Same language used by the IFB's back when I use to be one.

I mean, there were no printing presses! Scrolls were as valuable and as rare as a genuine Rolex! Not to mention that most people were illiterate!
Precisely, jgnat, can you imagine given how laborious it would've been to write all those scrolls depicted in the photograph that Neomadman posted? Again, no printing presses.

Yeah, if you are still married, you need to end that marriage first BEFORE persuing this witness woman.

Funny demon conversation
by problemaddict inminimus inspired me to recall a crazy conversation i had with a houseguest at my home while i was one of jw's and even serving.
i had a houseguest say that she couldn't sleep all night, and then she found a birthday card in her friends room that someone at work gave her innocently enough.
she burned it and said she could finally sleep.. i asked her if she knew how long ago her friends birthday was?

You know, thinking about how gullible I used to be back in those days, I remember ordering a pendant that was suppose to bring good luck to its wearer. Our Lady Of Medjugorje was what was on the pendant. In the box, there were ads for other charms, my favorite was "Rub the Buddha for money."
