Cold Steel....I tried what you are suggesting for a long while because I didn't want to displease anyone especially my wife and family. When you know the truth about the 'truth' meetings, assemblies and the ministry become torture...I couldn't look at myself in a mirror without thinking what I fraud I was. I became depressed and came to the point where I wished I was dead. When I finally told my wife I was done with the meetings she cried and threatened to leave me but after a couple of days things slowly returned to normal. I'm convinced she notices how much happier I am and that I still love her regardless of how I feel about the JWs...so Unstoppable, hang in there and give it time...show her how much you care for her by respecting her opinions if you want her to eventually respect yours...

If we had to avoid eating hotdogs because of the remote possibility they contained blood fractions or byproducts, the WTS should make sure that not one single penny is invested in a portfolio that include companies involved with cigarettes or weaponry...Jehovah sees everything small or big....

JW tour bus crashes in Florida, with fatalities-
by moshe inmiami - a bus carrying 32 members of a church group hit a concrete overpass at miami international airport after the driver got lost, killing two elderly people on board and leaving three others critically injured, officials said saturday.. the large, white bus was too tall for the 8-foot-6-inch entrance to the arrivals area, said airport spokesman greg chin.
buses are supposed to go through the departures area, which has a higher ceiling, he said.. chin said the passengers told him they were part of a group of jehovah's witnesses headed to west palm beach.
police said in a news release that the group had chartered the bus to take them to a church convention there-.

I agree with Elderelite...and want to remind all that often the WT brags on how many escaped calamity because they obeyed God and were protected at the Kingdom Hall and that some who missed the meeting died! Several years ago a close friend died in a fire that was deliberately set by three customers who had been kicked out from the Country and Western bar he was visiting for the first time...he had just reached the drinking age a few days before and an older friend wanted to buy him his first drink. Some loving JWs said that he would still be alive today if he had listened to what the WT says about going to bars or clubs...Malsonella does not hold exclusivity on lack of empathy...he or she is simply showing the same brand of empathy taught by the WT.

JWs like to say: how do you know the transfusion saved the person's life...he may have survived even if he didn't take blood...Then when someone dies after he refused blood, they say the opposite...how can we know for sure that blood would have saved him....

Its general manager, Leigh McJames, said while transfusions can be life-saving, evidence showed up to 20 per cent of them could be unnecessary in some patient groups.
up to 20% of some patient groups...Compared to all patient groups, what is the size of this patient group where up to 20% of transfusions are unnecessary? How about showing the percentage of unnecessary transfusion for ALL patient groups...? The only reason you would segment all patients into groups is because the % is much lower when you consider all patient groups... You can spin the statistics to support any arguments.

Sorry about your loss Ken and deepest sympathies. I'm in my late 50's and I lost my dad and mom is getting on in years...she is the second youngest in her family so most of my aunts and uncles have passed away. When our family came to the "truth" dad and mom were still in their late 20's and we were convinced none of us would grow old or die before the end. We would all enter into paradise as a family...but the obvious reality still hasn't detered my family in continuing in the "truth"...but like every human that ever lived none will escape death.

The concept of new light allows the WT to make any change they want without alarming their members...and regardless of how much you tell JWs they are being lied to they just don't want to look at the evidence or even less see it in print. In their eyes the WT can't do anything wrong because they are directed by God who is progressively revealing his truth to them. The reduction in the number of pages of "life-saving spiritual food" or having one less meeting night should be starting alarm bells especially when the organisation says we are very close to the end...think about it, should we not have MORE support as this day draws near?

Meeting with my family doctor...
by NVR2L8 ini needed a prescription renewed and found out my old doc retired...met my new doc and took this opportunity to update my medical record...removed the no blood transfusion clause from my file.
i told the doctor that inconsistencies within my church's doctrines made it impossible for me to put my life at risk for no valid reason.
after throwing out my medical directive card, amending my medical record is another step toward totally breaking free from the cult.

As our dear Oompa I ride a motorcycle and I recalled how his life was saved by a blood transfusion...sadly he felt that life as a pariah was not worth living...but that's a whole different subject...
