howdy guys & gals!.
i'll start posting my conversations with my jehovah's witness mother-in-law.
here's the first one - http://www.jehovahswitnessblog.com/real-life-experiences/conversation-with-my-jehovahs-witness-mother-in-law/.
Here's a conversation with my JW MIL a few months back:
JW MIL: The JWs have never changed anything with regard to their teachings!
Me: That's not true, you couldn't have blood fractions before, now you can. Did you know that blood fractions come from blood?
JW MIL: So what, it's only a little bit of blood.
Me: What! A little bit of blood?!?! Why don't I just commit a little bit of fornication!
JW MIL: (speechless)
Priceless

did anyone hear that rick fearons wife inez passed away???
?.
That is so sad, my deepest sympathies Rick.
my take on the drama this year is yet another slam against having children......... the "ideal" is still to pioneer........they're the ones put on a pedestal, both the younger and older couples.. the young mother, is forced to care for a cranky, crying child........
If the JWs don't breed how will they ever grow in numbers?

i would like to list 10 facts i have learned since coming on this site ,facts i wasn`t aware of while in the movement and facts that have set me free from a religous movement that really is not interested in facts per se.. these are not listed in order of importance , and feel free to add your own list that applys to your circumstances.
1.the wtb&ts involvement with the u.n.. 2.the wtb&ts investments/shares some of which are questionable.. 3.their real estate properties around the world, millions if not billions, of $$$, while being a not for profit organization.
4.their pretense of obeying the law on" blood" while conveniently adjusting it to minimise their legal obligations in threat of a lawsuit.
My list can go on but these few have changed my life.
Thank you JWN

...and if the JW hadn't protested so much in support of the Org, Penn's tweet would probably have been overlooked, lol.
Spot on MidwichCuckoo, his protest will stir curiosity about this 'JW Sparlock Video' and more people might want to see it.

A JW started tweeting back to Penn that it's fake and not from the Watchtower Society.... too funny Would love to see his face when he goes to the convention and picks up the video!
This is why the Watchtower tells the JWs to stay off the internet trying to defend their faith/religion... hahaha so funny

how well do you think about we can get the word out about the watchtower's embarrassing pr disaster before witnesses attend their conventions?.
lawyer tells of agonising scenes as doctors forced to let a jehovah's witness who wanted to live, die.. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/lawyer-tells-of-agonising-scenes-as-doctors-forced-to-let-a-jehovahs-witness-who-wanted-to-live-die-7879674.html.
a lawyer who advised doctors that they must let a 22-year-old jehovah's witness die even though he wanted to live has spoken of the agonising scenes before the young man's death.. robert tobin, a partner in the london law firm kennedys, was called in by an unnamed nhs trust when the man, a jehovahs witness who was critically ill with sickle cell anaemia, refused a blood transfusion which could have saved his life.. over three weeks the man gradually deteriorated as the crisis progressed, before eventually dying.
medical staff were understandably upset at seeing a patient deteriorate before their eyes knowing a simple procedure could have been provided that would have saved his life, mr tobin said.. the mans mother, also a jehovahs witness, was at her sons bedside, and an elder from the mans church also attended.
In this case, it looks like the WT got just what they wanted. They confuse and guilt-trip the average JW into going FAR BEYOND the WT's latest policies, even those written in their mags, because they can't keep up with it, and are so afraid they will die for all eternity they don't want to take ANY chances of slipping up. They WOULD NOT have DF'ed this young man - it was HIS DECISION... boosted by fear-induction from the elders who stop short of promising DFing. This happens all the time. The history of the Society tells many of these stories where JWs go BEYOND current WT written policy due to the effectiveness of the brainwashing! They make it appear that the decision is really the victim's - because it is! But nothing would have happened to the voung man if he took blood. The congo would not have DFed him.
Now he is DEAD.
The WT can wash their hands of any "wrongdoing," as it was his decision.
WOW! This makes a lot of sence.
