Apparently plasma is considered one of the four main components of blood which divine law prohibits..... despite the fact that every element of plasma, including water, albumin proteins etc. are on the Watchtower acceptable list.
Make sense of that.

by Rattigan350 injehovah’s witnesses reject plasma injections for covid-19.
https://www.newsintervention.com/jehovahs-witnesses-reject-plasma-injections-covid-19/.
the jehovah’s witnesses have issues with modern medical information because this is seen as against the tenets of the religious faith.

The Watchtower Oct. 15, 1958, p.613
"Sometime between April 15 and 23, 1957, Armageddon will sweep the world! Millions of persons will perish in its flames and the land will be scorched." So prophesied a certain California Pastor Mibran Ask, in January 1957. Such false prophets tend to put the subject of Armageddon in disrepute.

Glad you have joined us Huxley!
The Watchtower historically has readily depended on newspaper exegesis coupled with eisegesis to determine Jehovah's eschatological agenda. Don't give the virus a second look as being part of an alleged "composite sign".
The organization has never had a clue about how to interpret Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21. Further Jehovah tells us not to fear the words of those who make false predictions.
Jesus was giving his disciples a heads up as to when exactly to flee Jerusalem and Judaea and to.pray their flight would not be in winter or on a Sabbath (escape restrictions).
As for "that day", it will take place in normal times, people eating, drinking, marrying and working at jobs etc. No need to flee anywhere, saints will be taken. It will not be a local event, I.e., Jerusalem and Judaea but it will come as a snare on the entire earth, at a time that cannot be anticipated by newspaper exegesis or calculations of men. To be ready for that day will not depend on ones relationship with an organization, but with Jesus Christ himself.

Why couldn't I stop laughing?

I am beginning to think it's because of this young man's ongoing, detailed, honest frustrated ramblings about what it's like to be a Jehovah's Witness. No way is he going to let Watchtower religion steal any more of his life.
This video would serve as great tool to disillusion would-be recruits to the organization.

David Splane's incredible shrinking generation
by waton inin this mid-week's video, the speaker talking about the marriages of jacob, and joseph, mentions, that jacob had 4 female bearers of his children; therefore the sons were closely spaced in age, perhaps born at the rate of 4 per year, in total much less then 10 years apart with joseph being the youngest at the time , perhaps 17. so:.
the overlapping group generation championed by the same speaker, in the earlier teaching refers to "-- joseph and his generation died --" as key generation proof ext.
we have the tacit admission that his core contemporary family generation group spans less than a decade.

There are only two meanings for the word generation in the gospels; either one set of parents to the next or the people at a given time time living contemporaneously.
The Watchtower changes the meaning of words to fit it's own faulty eschatology regardless of consistency of biblical usage.

He is defined by his religion as long as he still believes the religion is the truth. Time to abandon ship before you sink girl
