Since Democrats Are All About the “Children” why does ABORTION Not Bother Them?

if everything is supposed to be about the lives of children, how can they hypocritically fight to take babies and kill them?

what about the children and their quality of life?.

Do You Think President Trump Is Doing a Good Job?

i think he is.

if you don’t want to put reasons for your yes or no, it’s ok. .

your vote,please?

He is a lot like the Watchtower Society leadership. Overly concerned about image, autocratic, narcissistic, and unapologetic. Perhaps he appeals to some of the JW conditioning among his supporters in this forum. This most recent episode of separating babies and toddlers from their mothers is simply beyond the pale. Akin to the way the Watchtower sacrifices children over the blood and child abuse policy. Someone has to be on the spectrum of psychopathy to behave in such a manner.

Medical Treatment for Jehovah's Witnesses

by Lee Elder in

if the watchtower speaks for jehovah, and jehovah' s witnesses must accept what the watchtower says, why has god changed his mind so many times about medical treatment?

here is the historical timeline: http://ajwrb.org/the-historical-persp…/blood-policy-timeline.

That must be some kind of bug with this website.

Where the Watchtower missed the boat on Blood

by Lee Elder in

to really understand the jehovah's witnesses policy on blood, you have to understand the fundamental mistake watchtower leaders made when the policy was first developed.. http://ajwrb.org/the-historical-perspective/the-evolution-of-the-watchtower-blood-policy.

Lee Elder

Confirmation bias - followed up with a failure to understand the both the science and the context of the relevant Biblical passages. The icing on the cake was the need to find issues where they could distinguish their unique Watchtower "brand".

Medical prohibitions leading to documented loss

by Vanderhoven7 in

other than general cases involving blood prohibitions...are you aware of instances of jws or exjws who have suffered health issues as a result of obedience to wts medical dictates?.

i'm thinking specifically of those who were denied vaccinations or organ transplants and i would also include those who were denied hemophelac preparations from 1975 - 1978.. any known or documented examples would be appreciated..

Where Do You Think Your Dear Loved Ones Are?

by minimus in

jw
friends

since we were jws at one time, has it influenced your view as to where your dead loved ones are now?

i know many here do not believe in anything biblical but i’m curious as to whether you believe anyone is in heaven?

?.

Lee Elder

Since energy can neither be created or destroyed, and all matter emanates from energy, we have existed for a much, much longer period of time than our precious few years on this particular rock. Its a fair bet that we will continue to exist as well. The question at hand relates more to our consciousness. Is it lost forever upon our death, or some how transferred to another place? Stay tuned!

Blood Componenets Are The Issue

by Lee Elder in

in a new "must read" article, a former jw hlc committee chairman explains why blood components are the real issue, and the terrible price paid to learn this important lesson.. http://ajwrb.org/components-of-blood-are-the-issue.

Lee Elder

In many respects, this issue can be viewed from a similar perspective as the child abuse issue in my view. Ultimately, what seems to be a primary driver for the organization is protecting the belief that they are God's channel. That they have divine authority, and special knowledge and authority. It follows, naturally, that anything that could cast doubt on this must opposed, hidden or ignored. Those who live in glass houses dare not cast stones.
