i'm confused at the huge variance in these percentages - where can i find exactly what % of a red blood cell is made up of hemoglobin?.
km 11/06 says its 33%.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/medical/123261/1/km-insert-how-do-i-view-blood-fractions-complete-scan-and-pdf.
The hemoglobin protein makes up about 97% of the red blood cells' dry content.
If you're talking about the total content (including water), then it's about 33-35%.

i was recently born again and thus am anointed because of this i have come to realize that though there are sincere people who are jw, some teachings are fine but the wt organization is a fraud.
here is my story sorry if it's a bit long but i need to tell it.. 16 years ago today i was baptized as one of jw's.
i was 17 years old the only one in my family.
Welcome here discreetslave! That was quite a life story!
It's nice that you have such an understanding, open relationship with your husband.
I wish you all the best with your life too!
i spoke with my mother, told her everything, my doubts, my fears, my sins.
it came rushing out.
my mother is devastated.
Knowsnothing, I sent you a pm.
well, i moved out of home to study more and live a "evil" life as my parents call it of going to church to light a candle!
i did this twice in the last month and i'm supporting a whore!
and by whore i mean you know babalyon the great!and all apostates are hitchhikers!
Snowboarder, I sent you a pm!
i can't believe i'm actually posting here.
i've been lurking for a while and i've been having doubts about this being the "truth" for years and sometimes feel really stuck and hopeless about my situation.
i'm married to an elder (who is 110% jw) and i was for the most part raised in the "truth".
Welcome here SickandTired!
thanks to mr monroe, i was able to upload this video from 2002.. .
http://vimeo.com/25581273.
'sunday' reveals the extraordinary story of how the jehovahs witnesses in australia routinely cover up cases of child abuse in their ranks and obstruct police investigations.
Thank you 3Mozzies. I hadn't seen that video before.
I couldn't believe the reply that one of the victims received after asking for help to cope with the abuse...."He hadn't been praying enough" What insensitive, self righteous person would ever say that?
And yet, the 2 elders' reaction just confirms everything. One of them being so arrogant as to refuse any comment on the matter. (actually he was rude enough to suggest the reporter had a hearing impediment for keeping up with the questions, in spite of his refusal to comment.)
i had a friend in the borg that i love and miss (the only one i miss for real) she got married and because she begged me to atttend her wedding i showed up after a loooong time at the kh (that was october 2010, never went back!
just for her i went that one time!
well, even though i faded and have almost zero communication w the jws every once in a while we exchage emails, typicall "i miss you" "take care" and "how's your life" kind of stuff.. she is respectful of my decision and never asks to many questions, but i make sure i always let her know i am ok and happy... so, this past weekend i emailed her just to say hello, i check my email today and have this..... "i think about you all the time too free!!.
Great reply Free!!
and Welcome here! I'm really glad your life is looking good outside the org.
John 4:24 - JWs aren't worshipping in Spirit and truth (even though they're taught that and many sincerely believe so).
Many of the doctrines/teachings aren't Bible based and end predictions have turned false = They aren't led by the spirit.

http://stayawake-standfirm.blogspot.com/2011/04/watchtower-society-has-never-lied.html.
standfirms disclaimer is that the definition of a lie is: "to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive"-emphasis added.. of course, other definitions of lie include: .
Watchtower 1966 February 15 p.103 “For over thirty years before that date and for half a century since, Jehovah’s witnesses have pointed to the year 1914 as the time for the end of “the appointed times of the nations” and the time in which Christ would begin his Kingdom rule. (Luke 21:24)”
Compare that statement with:
Prophecy (1929) p.65 “The scriptural proof is that the second presence of the Lord Jesus Christ began in 1874 A.D.”
and
The Scriptures show that the second presence [of the Lord] was due in 1874 .. This proof shows that the Lord has been present since 1874" (WT Mar 1 1923, pg 67)
This one is great too:
The constellation of the Pleiades is a small one compared with others, which scientific instruments disclose to the wondering eyes of man. But the greatness in size of other stars or planets is small when compared with the Pleiades in importance, because the Pleiades is the place of the eternal throne of God.
If that isn't lying, I don't know what is.
