a jehovah witness man, kwabena afum and his wife, margret afum aka abena oduma, have had a brush with the law after creating an unnecessary chaotic scene at new edubiase government hospital in a bid to prevent medical officers from giving blood to their son.. .

kwabena afum was arrested last week tuesday and granted a police enquiry bail the next day for causing panic and chaos by allegedly mobilizing some members of his church to foment trouble at the hospital.. .

he has since disowned five-year-old jepheth asamoah, who is currently in the custody of the social welfare department in the district, even after his release.. .

I hope the "disowning" sticks, so the courts can place the child up for adoption. It is in the boy's best interest that he be raised by parents who will look out for him, instead of following the slave-masters in Brooklyn.

JW Woman dies refusing blood....

wendy cloete louwwe lost a sister in our congregation today, had severe depression and tried to take her own life.

sad thing is if the doctors stopped being petty and insisting on bloody and just gave her alternative blood volumiser sooner she might have been fine.

it took the elders hours to get her transferred to a new hospital.

When he eventually gave them a prescription for non-human plasma, they went out and bought it...

(emphasis mine) Now wait a second! The OT prohibitions on blood were talking about animal blood, not human blood. Just where do they think "non-human plasma" comes from? If anything about a blood transfusion could be considered to be "eating blood" in violation of the Mosiac laws, the use of animal blood products must certainly be forbidden.

Hypocrites!

p.s., somewhat o.t.: I have my scheduled donation at the community blood drive tomorrow. Is it time for you to donate again?

Ever been a Mason? This is important....

by EndofMysteries in

hoping someone has some personal experience with them, and knows what they mean when putting these symbols below on things.

this is important for all to know, especially in the near future.

you'll see in below examples how worldwide, even warring countries this is prevelant.

it's a nice men's club and does more charity work than the JW's have ever thought about.

Supporting what Moshe said: This morning the clock radio woke me with an interview of a local Shriners official. You probably know Shriners from the fez hats, little cars in the local parade, the Shrine circus, etc., but that is all in support of their charitable work. The Shriners are a charitable arm of the Masons, operating more than twenty Shrine children's orthopedic and burn treatment hospitals across the country. Treatment is free for any child who needs it. There are about ten times as many JWs than shriners in the US. Why are there no JW children's hospitals?

Encouraged by the Org. itself to expose them............

by iknowall558 in

ok...when i left the org, i was quiet for a while....as you are, trying to get used to not being a jw robot, and trying to show the rest of the congregation and former friends and family, ..(like it matters),..that you are still nice, polite, spiritual......... not engaging in criminal acts, not smoking or taking drugs and not becoming the local slut falling out of pubs and clubs at the weekend in an alcohol induced stupor.

then i changed my mind!

not that i started engaging in all of the above....but that i stopped being quiet.

There is a lovely but somewhat 'naive' Roman Catholic/Republican couple in my neighborhood who were quite surprised to find out that I was an ex-JW, and even more surprised - and DISBELIEVING of the information I laid before them - at the ugly, dirty little secrets hidden behind those "suits and smiling faces of these pleasant, polite, god-loving people...."

Zid,

Refer your Catholic/Republican neighbors to A Catholic Critique of Jehovah's Witnesses. This is an excellent rebuttal of WT teachings, written for Catholics but useful for anybody facing WT indoctrination.

I knew they couldn't keep you down for long. Nurse "Wretched" has met her match, indeed!

I hope you do better in your own place.

Good night Grace!
