Perhaps some helpful advice. My rant on the JW mindset.
by garyneal inpride and prejudice abound in the watchtower religion.. i go to the assemblies and it becomes very clear that the speakers are so proud of the fact that their religion is the one true religion and that they are so much better than the other churches out there.
the amount of pride i heard coming from the platform is astounding.
astounding still is the fact that they cannot see it themselves and at one point in time, i could not see it either.

Lol jgnat
Husband said he had a good time, he seemed to bring everything up including mentioning about 1975 which she (21 year old) did not deny. He then went onto say that teenages were discouraged from seeking an education because of Armageddon being "around the corner" and many, although had other aspirations, became window cleaners. Some of which have since been unable to obtain other employment and are still doing it into old age. He (the male witness) then said he was a window cleaner!
She made a point of saying that she was a born in but had done her research and made up her own mind to stay in.
Hubby mentioned Crisis of Conscience which he said his Uncle gave him and he had read it - his comment was that it was biased. Hubby said it was factual.
Hubby also mentioned when vaccinations were not allowed and that many people died because of this.
He mentioned the UN and they seemed aware that they had been members.
He also asked what if you were a witness and you disagreed with some of the teachings, they said you can't. He said but they tell you the light is getting brighter so the teachings change. They couldn't answer this.
They told him that he would know JWs by their unconditional love (WTF)! Hubby told them that it was CONDITIONAL love.
I can't remember everything he told me but will update you as and when I remember or he tells me more.
He said he enjoyed himself but he never let on that he had been brought up in their faith just that he had attended some meetings with a colleague and done some research.

i just came back from the memorial
by J. Hofer init wasn't all that bad.
met a few friends who also don't give too much about it and had some great laughs afterwards.
we talked about how we still remember when only about 7000 took from the emblems and now its more than 11000. we also laughed about how it would look like having jesus and his disciples pass around wine and bread on a plate like that.. all in all it was the same procedure as every year.

This is now the third one we have missed.
However, we drove past the KH here in Wales and it is the first time I have seen any cars in the car park, it was full! Not sure where all the people came from.

I have over the years attended several different denomination of churches for a period. I have also when visitng family of friends attended a church local to them for the Christmas service.
In all of these churches when communion was served they said that anyone who would normally partake in their own church was welcome to partake in theirs.
The KH is the only one I have been to where the same welcome is not extended.

dos it really matter if someone drinks the wine and eats the crackers??!
by highdose ina big part of every memorial i ever went to was given to drumming it home that unless you were anoited you couldn't partake.
and everyone would be watching the "strangers" as their turn came, ripples of horror would go round the congregation if they dared to nibble or sip(!).
... but seriously what is the problem?

What I never understood was who are THEY to judge whether someone should partake or not. Working on the basis that only the anointed should partake how do they know who is anointed or not? It is not for them to say.
It always seemed so daft to pass the bread and wine around and not let anyone have any, what was the point?

80% Accept Blood Transfusion
by Marvin Shilmer in80% accept blood transfusion.
i added a new article on my blog citing a 1995 medical study finding something interesting about blood transfusion and young folks among jehovahs witnesses.
the study shows that at least 80% (5 out of 6) accept allogeneic red blood cell transfusions or else their witness parents accept it on their behalf and without need of court-order.

My daughter is a specialist childrens' nurse and in every situation without exception the parents have accepted blood transfusions for their babies. They say do it but don't tell me.
I realize that this is only a small example but that said in all the time that she has been nursing there hasn't been anyone who refused a blood transfusion for their child when it was lifesaving.
