"Higher education The Watchtower Bible & Tract Society, with its emphasis on academic study limited education and unquestioning obedience, often produces graduates followers who have few or no practical skills, leaving them unprepared to deal with the realities of life."

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

"Building 1,500,000 Square Feet in 4 Years will NOT Happen Without Jehovah's Spirit"

That must mean the Vatican had Jehovah's spirit when it was built as it is comprised of 5,575,680 sq ft.

So are Republicans now openly terrorists?

by Simon in

they seem determined to undermine the us democracy and shut the government down hurting employees and veterans.. what a despicable bunch, hope they get their asses kicked for what they are doing..

One of the great myths shoved down our throats is the 'free market' unincummbered by government regulation will establish fair and true values, humans are way to greedy dishonest and corrupt.

Amen . And for further information on the subject, please google "Enron".

a free market + unbridled greed and corruption - government regulations = disaster.

250,000 Jehovah's Witnesses have died refusing blood

by nicolaou in

80+ branch davidian cult members died in waco, texas.

250,000+ #jehovahswitnesses have died refusing blood.

stop this #cult!

Mary

The only thing I can say, is that the blood doctrine nearly cost my father his life twice, and it ended up costing my brother in law his life 4 years ago. The figure of 250,000 is not unreasonable IMO, but the problem is that the refusal to accept a transfusion is quite often, the catalyst that causes something else to happen which ultimately causes the death. In my brother in law's case, refusing a blood transfusion was not listed as the reason he died, even though it was directly responsible for his demise. The official version is that he died from cancer, so anyone outside the family is not going to know the roll that this damn doctrine actually played.

I imagine that the same scenario has been played a thousand times over the last 50 years.

A baby to be sacrificed on the alter of Jehovah thwarted by New Zealands High Court.

by smiddy in

the herald sun newspaper article titled "jehovahs baby rule " "a sick babyis under the guardianship of new zealand`s high court so she can receive life-saving blood transfusions.......she could develop life-threatening complications without a transfusion.. to be fair the article also states "she has been given a 90 per cent survival rate with treatment,but is likely to need a blood transfusion-which her parents will not allow as they are jehovah`s witnesses.. my observations /concerns are this : jehovah`s witnesses refuse blood transfusions.a baptised jw who takes a blood transfusion can/will be disfellowshiped for not abiding by jw`s doctrine.going against gb policy direction is causing division.. jehovah`s witnesses do not beleive in donating blood to a blood bank even if it is theirs for their own private exclusive use .. official teaching on blood by jehovah`s witnesses is, it is not to be stored, it is to be poured out on the ground.it is not to be used for any purpose.. jehovah`s witnesses will not use blood and bone in their gardens,they will not eat blood sausage,and a married couple will certainly not engage in sexual activity when the wife is menstruating.. the dilemma/inconsistencys :why is it only a conscience matter, no penaltys applied for anyone to accept every fraction of blood that is donated by other people.?

they will use blood that is donated by other people , processed in a laboratory into various fractions and injected into their own bodies , and they dont see a problem with this hypocricy ?

double standards ?.

Dr. Jack Kevorkian spent years in prison for 'doctor assisted suicide'. So why are the Governing Body members not in prison for 'religious assisted suicide'? Because that's exactly what they're doing. They're forcing their followers to let themselves die when they could be saved, due to their warped interpretation of a scripture that has nothing to do with transfusing blood from one person to another.

Good thing Satan's court of law sees it a bit differently eh?
