JWN, 23 years posting Blondie

can i call you friends, i think so after 23 years posting here.

i am dismayed how jwn is being "dominated" or taken over by a few posters, peppering the comments.

in the past, the admin did not approve of this and did remove some posters from jwn.

FTM -- don't go away mad.

Just go away!

someone is pressing me about blood fractions on an unrelated thread, so i just moved the topic to an appropriate location.. "the point for me in every thread you touch is your sickening dishonesty and nauseating apologies for the old men in brooklyn who tell you what to do.. they have told you that products made from blood don't use blood, and you are so corrupt and gullible you just accept it.".

i accept any bible-based religion that adheres to the bible as its authority.. the purpose of this magazine, the watchtower, is to honor jehovah god, the supreme ruler of the universe.

just as watchtowers in ancient times enabled a person to observe developments from afar, so this magazine shows us the significance of world events in the light of bible prophecies.

I thought there was going to be new light on blood at this AGM?

Seems to me the blood transfusion issue has been added to the WT's "Don't ask. Don't tell." list.

If it becomes known that an active (adult) JW has accepted a blood transfusion, said "sinner" need only repent that it was done in a "weakened" state of fear and anxiety and that they would NEVER do such a thing again (or at least not until they needed another transfusion to survive).

The World Today

i've been meaning to share some recent experiences that defy the usual tropes about the 'world gone to hell' or 'people now days".. as some of you may remember i was seriously ill for a while and had to close my business and shop.

now, as it seems i have beaten it, i put up a sign again advertising that in a limited way i'm back.. what amazes me is how many times over the past 2 years customers and even competition have written and called to express their concern and best wishes.

just last week i had a personal visit of someone who i thought of as a rival, come in and shake my hand sincerely happy to see me up and around.

Hard to imagine all of those kind words and gestures (as well as all of the ones just posted here) coming from wicked "worldly" people, let alone "apostates"!

THE PROBLEM WITH THESE 2 NEW GB MEMBERS APPOINTMENTS

by raymond frantz in

https://youtu.be/rjr0ugtu6zu?si=d3zsz20ee33gytxi.

these new appointments are troubling, to say the least, especially considering the factors surrounding their selection.

these appointments raise key concerns about leadership, experience, and what is happening behind the scenes at the organization's headquarters.

As best as I can recall, not all that long ago WT published the statement that all (or at least most) of all the "newly anointed" members we either confused about leaving behind their old "everyone goes to heaven" thinking from Christendom OR, they were likely mentally ill.

From what I can see and hear from newly appointed GB members, they definitely fit into the latter description or explanation.

Or, in other words: they're effing crazy!

Speaking most definitely for myself, and I suspect many others here, I very much appreciate all you do to maintain this site and this community of friends.

TWO NEW GB MEMBERS! WOW!

This important announcement/revelation helps me see where my journey from JWism has taken me --

I could not care less about 2 new GB.

Once was the time I'd have googled and searched and made a couple phone calls to PIMO and POMO friends, but now I simply cannot be bothered. This religion has less and less affect on me as time progresses. This religion is nothing more than a bunch of people who have an overly inflated opinion of themselves. And more recently there is an increasing amount of mediocrity from the leadership.
