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

  by minimus in

  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?.

  Minimus. You are welcome to think anything you want and speak your mind, not that you need my approval to do that. I've called you a troll because you meet the definition as posted above. I say that because this is a JW forum with the specific purpose of being a place for "those interested in JW.Org beliefs or the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society". You are posting off topic on a provocative political issue, hence a troll in my view. I made the poor choice of responding to one of your posts because I see a number of similarities between Donald Trump and the autocratic leadership of the Watchtower. I am clearly nothing special. Never claimed to be. I do what I can. You can have the last word here. I have better uses for my time.

  Internet troll

  In Internet slang, a troll is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting quarrels or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, or off-topic messages in an online community with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal, on-topic discussion, often for the troll's amusement.

  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.

  Where the Watchtower missed the boat on Blood

  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.

  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".

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  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..

  2. friends

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

  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!
