A heart-wrenching comment from the JW survey...

by cedars in

jw
friends

i've just received this comment from a country in the south china sea.

i'd rather not be more specific than that.. the english is poor, but the message is heart-wrenching.

any who question whether ordinary publishers wrestle with doubts need only read this message.

WildeLover

Tragic. Like so many he has sacrificed so much and for what? being caught and trapped.

Hope you ok Cedars! you're doing good work

Best wishes

Transplants and blood question

by WildeLover in

the understanding of the society was that transplants were a conscience matter from 1967 til 1973?

then were forbidden from 1973 til 1981?.

however was it possible to have a transplant without any blood transfusions?

WildeLover

Hey all

thanks for replies.

i lifted this from JWFacts

Unacceptable

Watchtower 1967 November 15 pp.702-704
"Sustaining one's life by means of the body or part of the body of another human...would be cannibalism, a practice abhorrent to all civilized people It is not our place to decide whether such operations are advisable from a scientific or medical standpoint Christians who have been enlightened by God's Word do not need to make these decisions based simply on the basis of personal whim or emotion. They can consider the divine principles and use these in making personal decisions as they look to God for direction, trusting him and putting their confidence in the future that he has in store for those who love him"

so cannibalism is the issue here for transplants? nothing to indcate that using blood was the issue to make the transplant.

nowadays organ transplants operations are done without much blood being involved but was that the case back in the 60s and 70s

How Did You View The Elders?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i know some who truly believed they were "gifts in men".

they needed their approval and wanted to be well spoken of by them.. i know some who can't stand elders and regard them as pests, always looking for some dirt on somebody.. i know some who liked maybe one or two but regarded the majority as unqualified.. how did you view the elders??

?.

WildeLover

for me i have gotten on well with most of them. i like quite a lot of them. in love with one of them.

but one of my friends who is an elder and the COBE was given a really really rough time by the rest of the body so ever since then i am wary.....

however was it possible to have a transplant without any blood transfusions? was their objection to transplants because it was impossible to do so because non-bloodless alternatives were not available?

Gay and proud for a year

by TimothyT in

wow... i cant believe it has now been a year since i accepted that im gay.

it has been the best year of my life for so many reasons.

i have met my boyfriend who i adore, i have stopped lying to myself, my family and my friends, i am doing really well financially and spiritually, and of course, i am no longer a part of a deluded and oppressive religion.. it feels so good to be free!

WildeLover

well done Tim! you are a trailblazer! i wish i could have your success. One day though, one day!

love and light to you

the Ireland branch--> issues over the years

by WildeLover in

hi all.

the irish branch has had lots of drama over the years from john may in the 1980s to the recent removal of practically all the branch committee in the mid noughties to its being closed down quite recently.. i heard on the grapevine that two of the branch committee had actually come to physical blows and there was blood on the carpet.. also many many witnesses spoke of the totalitarian environment there.. does anyone have anything further to corroborate or add to this?.

wildelover.

WildeLover

it's all hearsay but i could defo imagine one of them being violent. he was very pretentious.

but there was such a weird vibe in that bethel for years....
