So in the life story of the president of the "One True Christian Religion", the WTBTS is mentioned 15 times, and its "God", ostensibly Jehovah, 8 times (just over half as many mentions as the Org). How many mentions of Jesus... you know... Christ? As in... er... "Christianity", specifically the so-called "true" version?

JW spokesman: We refuse blood, but it's a personal choice
by MrMonroe indublin news story contains a blatant lie from the mouth of a jw spokesman:.
http://www.thejournal.ie/need-for-discussions-between-hospitals-and-jehovahs-witness-patients-234833-sep2011/.
a court order granted today to allow the coombe hospital give a baby a blood transfusion against the wishes of her parents underscores the need for more discussions to take place between hospital staff and patients, says a dublin branch of jehovahs witnesses.. harry homan, from the south dublin hospital liaison committee said that the issue highlighted the relationship between hospital staff and jehovahs witness patients.. he said, however, that there is already healthy discussions happening across the country.. the parents in this case are very happy with the hospital and the care being give to their baby, homan told thejournal.ie.. there is an excellent relationship between the parents and staff and the child is receiving the best of care.. he added that a blood transfusion will only be given to the premature baby as a last resort.. at the moment, she is doing well, said homan.. rte reports that the transfusion will be given to the baby if her condition deteriorates and it is necessary to save her life.. hospitals are acutely aware of the dangers associated with blood transfusions, claimed homan, adding that it is in everyones best interests to seek alternatives.. he said the position of jehovahs witnesses is perfectly clear on the matter of blood transfusions.. we do refuse transfusions, he said.

Special day Last talk "No formula"
by MommieTiger inthis weekend at our special assembly day, let gods will take place the final talk was a head shaker.... the bethel speaker was quite entertaining when he joked @ the shortcomings of the elders.
he also made us laugh with the comment "we were told the end of the system is right around the corner, but we've found its been more than that, we've been around the blocks a few times.
" he told the young ones to make the truth their own by researching in the wtbts publication (only).

No "special formula"?
What exactly would you call the "overlapping generations" teaching?
Although I guess that teaching is neither special nor really a formula, per se, least not one that can be pinned down to a definite number of years.

Overlapping generation segment on the new Circuit Assembly program
by traveb inso there i was at the circuit assembly sunday morning with my eyes glazed over as usual when all of a sudden, bam!
a demo with two brothers talking about the new overlapping generation teaching.
the reason it took me by surprise was because it occured during the second talk of the sunday morning symposium, "sanctify god's name by your speech".

Well, "Mentally Diseased" IS identical to the terminology used by those paragons of mental health, Freddie & The Gang (minus obvious raving lunatic Ray Franz), during the Great Apostasy purge of the early 1980s... see "Crisis of Conscience"...

What's really important is not so much outside awareness - let's face it, nobody outside of The Org really takes The Org seriously - but INSIDE awareness. A lot of recent threads seem to imply that more and more of the brotherhood are starting to wake up precisely because of articles and public exposure like this - not to mention the GB's own increasingly bizarre teachings.
