Imagine a poor Witness kid thinking he finally gets a real present and it turnes out to be a stale Cheese Danish left over from the District Assembly , a set of bound volumes or some back issues of the golden age. It would probably send him to the looney bin.

WOW! How's That for the Stance on Blood?
by Yan Bibiyan inwhile taking another stab at the practices of mainstream christianity (to hold services on a particular day), the wt strangely explains what "abstaining from blood" means in acts 15:.
september awake 2011. on page 10:.
"...the scriptures indicate that some commands.

I asked him "if takin' blood was a sin, aint that fraction a piece of that sin ????"
Yes....and wasn't it a sin for someone to roll up his/her sleeve at the blood bank and allow their blood to be extracted for medical use ?
Maybe JW's can donate blood if they stipulate in writing that only fractions of their blood can be used.

The subject matter in this scripture was talking about animal blood. The notion of transfusing human blood for medical purposes wasn't even though of so how could it have been condemned?
That's like saying the use of automobiles out in service is unscriptural.... we must to walk on foot from door to door exactly like Jesus did.

1.What hospital kicks the sickest out the door?
They'd say: "Hospitals, for the good of the greater number, quarantine/isolate the sickest and most difficult to cure or incurable patients all the time. "
5.Humility consists of open willingness to admit mistakes and explain your failures with a promise to NEVER do it again. How humble or valid is it to say "At times explanations given by Jehovah’s visible organization have shown adjustments, seemingly to previous points of view. But this has not actually been the case."
That's like someone appologizing to you saying " Sorry IF I did or said anything to offend you" This is an appology without really admitting or acknowledging what they did.
6. A Servant does not tell guests what to eat and when. They wait to be ordered. A Faithful and Wise Servant would hardly keep shouting "Dinner is
being served" every day for 97 years and be dead wrong every time- unless they needed to have their crazy ass fired!
They'd say: " We are servants of Jehovah...not the congregation. We have been appointed by him to manage/regulate/oversee/dicipline the flock just like the faithful and discreet slave who looks over his owners belongings while he is away."
7. Peter denied Christ 3 separate times out of self-regard in the face of danger. Tell me again how any disfellowshipped person is WORSE?
They'd say: Peter was remorseful and his offenses occured in the peroid of one day/night. Disfellowshipped people are unrepentant and or have been carrying on sinfully over a long periond of time or on repeated occasions.
8. When you hire a coach to get you to the playoffs and win the big game and you lose...lose...lose....do you FIRE him, or, do you keep him on?
Well, then, how do you explain Fred Franz being made PRESIDENT after the 1975 fiasco?
Fred Franz had the most seniority and likely the others, younger and newer to their GB positions were still a bit in awe of him because of his early history with the founders. They likely had spent enough years under his influence themselves that they still considered him somewhat of a holy man. Besides....Armageddon was still just around the corner....what's a few months or years in the big scheme of things? (he said 46 years later)
9. Okay, you're telling me what "generation" REALLY MEANS now.....so....um...what the hell was all that other crap YOU SAID IT MEANT for the last 90 years? You came up with that---HOW exactly???
Yes, and what about the billions of hours and pieces of literature spread through the world with incorrect teachings in them ? What about all those who were turned away from God and religion for good after being duped for so long by your false teachings?
10. My mother suffered the pangs of birth so I could live. She fed, me, changed my diapers, held me, dried my tears, taught me right from wrong and
was always there for me. Now tell me again what kind of low-life ingrate I WON'T BE if I turn my back on her now because she won't quit
smoking….and you just DISFELLOWSHIPPED HER!!
They'd say: " This was done to protect the rest of the congregation from the dangers of smoking and to send the message that although dicipline is hard to bear, it is for the good of the greater number....we don't hate the individual....we hate unhealthy dangerous behaviors that can be spread to others if they think it is condoned by us ".

Of course, Terry you know because what you said in your post wasn't from the Watchtower, they'd say it's all misguided human reasoning....the same kind that caused Adam and Eve to sin.

1.You cannot do enough to demonstrate your merit or value. Giving your ALL each and every day only gets you through THAT one day.
Yep...it's true. After a lifetime as a Witness and serving at Bethel, none of it matters now that we've left. As far as JW's are concerned....none of it will be remembered by Jehovah....we're doomed. I get the sense from some of them that if there is to be a "New System" they'd be really pissed off if they saw me walking down the street.

I wonder why
by therevealer inthey dropped epubs from the march study towers.
and 2012 yearbook..

Probably because way too many "brothers" started using iPad's and iPhone's as their Washtowel. I've seen it several times before I left, it must've only increased the
last few months. Can't have people accessing the Interwebs to cross-reference their quotes now can you.
Anony M: That's a good point....if Ipads and the like were commonplace in the meeting there'd also be the danger of people surfing the web instead of paying attention. Back in the day, all we could do is day dream or doodle in our Watchtowers.
My Boys have Iphones and whatever question comes up or whatever statement is made in a conversation with them, immediately gets googled, verified and answered. This is the wave of the future....Witnesses included.

I cannot believe my father called me to ask this!
by serenitynow! inso my father, a jw bum who abandoned us when we were children to be with his pioneer whore, called me tonight and left a message.
this is surprising because i have not seen or spoken to him for a couple of years, other than to leave a message a couple of weeks ago to tell him that i had to hospitalize my sister for being suicidal.. i found out about a week ago that one of his very good friends, a brother whose family used to go to the hall with us and used to be close to when we were children is dying in the hospital after having a couple of strokes and a heart attack.
they've been talking about taking him off of the ventilator for a few days.

Did you ask him why he thinks you should help him after he abandoned all of you not once ,but for the second time when you needed him to rescue you from a homeless shelter ? I'd be definetly asking him for an answer to that question and he'd better have a good reason before he'd get any help from me. There is such a thing as being forgiving but for a Father to leave his kids in a homeless shelter is pretty cold to say the least.
