  just finished reading the Candace Conti court docs

  by soft+gentle in

  2. bible

  i had been reading discussions on topix about the case and decided to go see what was actually said and not said during the trial.

  i'm left with several indelible impressions of the courage and honesty of candace and of her mother kathleen.. another thing is that the court was given the opportunity to really get a feel for the jw lifestyle.

  the close family relationships they promote which emphasizes, for me, that if the elders had been as vigilant as they said they were they would have spotted that kendrick had become alarmingly close to candace.

  To those newly introduced to the Watchtower twisted blood transfusion ban, this case is a classic cherry picked success story while ignoring the 50,000 to 100,000 or more Jehovah's Witnesses who have died for refusing life saving blood.

  Excerpt: —

  “Well, how about that?” — when told that the drop in her hemoglobin levels, measured before and immediately after surgery, had been barely perceptible. Jehovah, she said, must have been guiding Dr. Scheinin’s hand.

  Given what they had achieved together, that sat just fine with Dr. Scheinin, who is Jewish. “Over the years, I’ve been blessed by Catholic priests, rabbis, Baptist ministers, even a Buddhist monk or two,” he said. “I wouldn’t trade in my surgical skills for a life of piety. But can anyone deny that a higher power doesn’t have some bearing on how this all plays out?”

  How absurd this sounds......Jehovah's Witnesses can have a Biggie Lung transplant but not the intrinsic blood that goes with it! Same with the Liver or any organ.

  Then there is the "catch" JW actually can use 90% of a bag of blood as long as it is a "conscience matter" and the Watchtower corporation is not held legally liable and sued for wrongful death.

  How many of you followed the WTS direction on education years ago and have been screwed by it?

  by Julia Orwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm really interested in this question because i've heard for years that if you forgo further education and go pioneering, when you have a family down the track you will get a good job because jehovah will provide for you because you pioneered.

  as long as i was a kool-aid drinker, even then, i thought, "how does pioneering pay your bills?

  surely education should come first.
