  When will the crashing and burning of this organization begin?

  by easyreader1970 in

  as i see it, there are three looming threats that all have the potential - individually or combined - to bring the wbts to its knees, at least in the united states, anyway.. 1. youth retention.

  the young people aren't buying it.

  the watchtower will argue that faithless young people are giving in to demonic persuasion and leaving the truth.

  I think the whole thing is a house of cards

  I agree, but those "base-cards" are heavily guarded by many mental tactics and redundancies. I'd say hell freezes over before they allow those cards to be removed from the house.

  Baby(ies) Died From Heat At Convention?

  by snowbird in

  2. scandals

  i recall reading from one source how babies were overcome by the heat at a jw convention, with at least one death.. if i'm not mistaken, this was in houston, texas, at the astrodome.. the story goes that doctors at the convention wanted an advisory about the heat read from the platform, but convention officials refused, stating that only wt related material was to be read.. it was stated that the doctors became so upset at this that they quit the wt on the spot!.

  has anyone else heard or read that story?.

  That really sounds like a myth, otherwise it would be easily found on the interwebz.

  Witnesses taking credit for bloodless surgery research and implementation

  i gets me almost into a frezy when witnesses use this asinine argument.. if jws were ever the reason for bloodless surgery reasearch it was because doctors were tired of having to let you guys die.

  they found a way to keep your asses alive even with your ridiculous superstitions!

  you should thank the doctors of this world for having such love and compassion.... -sab.

  The Witnesses are NOT advocates of "safer surgery." They put their obstinate, and sometimes deadly, religious views above ALL else and glorify it in any way possible.

  I have to admit from first-hand experience with my mother that the Witnesses do have a very large presence in the hospitals and have done a lot to promote and improve bloodless surgery.

  The doctors are cooperating because the Witnesses use blackmail... they are letting their kids die...

  Think about that from a doctor's perspective. He/she got into the business of saving lives and here is a group of people forcing your hand to let your patients die. Then they take credit for the virtues of safer surgery at the cost of dead children.

  I bet there a lot of furious doctors out there in this arena.

  They use bloodless surgery as a straw man when they are called to defend their manslaughter doctrine. They point to the new medical procedures and ignore that blood is still very much required in certain situations and it is life and death.

  You know, I do kind of reverse shun. Currently looking at anyone who follows the Blood Doctrine makes my stomach churn.

  Very thrilled actually. Once I left the WT I realized that I can actually make a difference.

  We have come a long way as a species and I am looking forward to furthering that progression by the time I die.

  "This system is soo bad! Its so awfull!"

  by highdose in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the above is something i often heard jw's say in one way or another, but they could never fully eleabourate.. so i propose a debate: is the world "bad and "soo awfull"?

  as the jw's would have you belive?.

  It's "so bad" because of today's media. Money is made off of juicy stories so it really puts the entire world in a much darker light than what is really happening out there.

  "You are only looking at things 'critical' of the Watchtower"

  by sabastious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  something jws say that to a lot to people who have left or are leaving the org.. i find it very a very ironic statement since the wt and awake, or any wt literature for that matter, is never critical of itself and never directly addresses refutation of their doctrine and predictions.... i was raised a witness, as many of you were.

  i have been subjected to "one-side-of-the-coin" for almost 2 decades!

  the only true way to bring balance to my information is to look at the other side of the coin and give it great consideration.... -sab.
