lying decievers and their methods

by refiners fire in

1922 certainly was a good year for watchtowers.

many of them were fascinating reading for an observant student of watchtower history.

recurring subjects that year revolved around russells chronology and the dogmatic insistance that russells dates were divinely inspired.

Hello Refinersfire,

excellent quotes. I'll come back with more comments.

steve and i attended our very last meeting this evening.

i wrote a thread a few weeks ago about our elder visit and their decision to announce that we were disassociated.

they agreed to wait until we returned from our vacation so i could tell my grandma who still attends via phone link and so she wouldn't have to be alone in her devastation.

Hello "Princess" and Steve,

thanks for sharing the experience with us. Great action...and great pictures too!

All the best to you both,

P.S. I do agree with Nicolau...quite an empty Hall...as usual, like in many other places.

A good comment from your Mum.

NEED URGENT INFO NOW - HEMOPURE

by Scully in

i'm at work right now and i have been asked to help.

a jw patient will probably die during surgery if she does not accept blood.

to the best of my knowledge the hlc is not aware of her presence in hospital, and her non-jw family wants to know what she can have.. how does the family get in touch with the hlc in the area?

MacHislopp

Hello Scully,

I do hope that this will help you.

Here is a report from one of the centers participating in the Phase III
clinical trial of HemoPure - the bovine based hemoglobin blood
substitute permitted by the Watchtower Society and presently in use in South Africa.

Biopure Corporation (ticker: BPUR, exchange: NASDAQ) News Release - 1/27/2002

Single Center Results From Hemopure(R) Pivotal Phase III Clinical Trial Presented at Critical Care Meeting

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- A University of California clinical investigator today reported study results from one of the medical centers that participated in Biopure Corporation's pivotal Phase III clinical trial of Hemopure(R) [hemoglobin glutamer - 250 (bovine), or HBOC-201]. The results, from UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, Cal., were reported as a poster presentation at the Society of Critical Care Medicine's 31st Annual Congress in San Diego, Cal.

The Phase III trial is a multinational, randomized, red blood cell controlled, single-blind, parallel-group study designed to assess Hemopure as an alternative to allogeneic red blood cell transfusion in patients undergoing elective orthopedic surgery. The data from UC Davis represent 35 of the 688 patients treated in the trial. The two hypotheses of the poster presentation are that at least 35 percent of patients receiving Hemopure will avoid red blood cell transfusion for up to six weeks post surgery and that the safety and tolerability of Hemopure in this patient population are similar to those of patients receiving red blood cells.

"At our site Hemopure was well tolerated, eliminated the need for red blood cell transfusion in about half of the patients who received the product and significantly reduced overall blood usage compared to the control group," said Jonathan S. Jahr, M.D., the principal investigator at UC Davis during the trial who is now Professor of Anesthesiology and Director of Clinical Research at the UCLA Department of Anesthesiology. "I'm optimistic that these results may support this compound's use as an oxygen 'bridge' in elective surgery patients who are acutely anemic, although the sample size at our site was too small to draw definitive conclusions. I look forward to reporting more comprehensive data at upcoming medical meetings beginning in March."

Site Results

Of the 35 patients enrolled at UC Davis, 19 received Hemopure and 16 received allogeneic red blood cells. Results show an avoidance of red blood cell transfusions in 47 percent of the Hemopure-treated patients (n=9) at 42 days post surgery, 58 percent (n=11) at one week post surgery and 100 percent (n=19) on the day of surgery. The mean number of red blood cell units administered in the Hemopure group (1.3 units) was significantly smaller than in the control group (3.1 units). The two groups had similar median total hemoglobin levels and median hematocrit levels (red blood cell volume as a percentage of blood volume) at the time of discharge from the hospital and at the six-week follow-up time point.

The hemodynamic results showed transient, slight to modest increases in blood pressure in the Hemopure group compared to the red blood cell control group. The largest mean increase in mean arterial pressure (MAP) during the entire six-week follow-up period was 15.5 mm/Hg in the Hemopure group and 6.2 mm/Hg in the control group. Mean changes in MAP from pre-treatment to 30 minutes following the first infusion were similar in the Hemopure group (10.3 mm/Hg + or - 4.5) and the red blood cell control group (15.7 mm/Hg + or - 8.7).

As expected in this surgical patient population, the clinical chemistry parameters fluctuated over time. Median blood urea nitrogen and creatinine values (measures of renal function) showed no clinically significant differences in the two treatment groups from baseline to the six-week follow up. Median serum enzyme levels for lipase (a pancreatic enzyme), aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase (liver enzymes) were also similar for both treatment groups. Median troponin levels (a measure of cardiac ischemia) in the Hemopure group remained within the normal range. Because of the small sample sizes, medians rather than means were used to describe data.

Adverse events (MedDRA coded) that occurred in more than 10 percent of the Hemopure-treated patients (> or = 2 patients) included anemia (low red blood cell count), abdominal distension, constipation, diarrhea, dyspepsia (heartburn), ileus (intestinal inflammation), nausea, vomiting, chest pain, fatigue, inadequate analgesia (pain relief), edema (fluid retention), pyrexia (fever), weakness, increased lipase, muscle spasms, pain in limb, dizziness, headache, hypoaesthesia (reduced sensitivity to stimuli), insomnia, anxiety, hematuria (blood in urine), oliguria (low urine output), urinary retention, decreased breath sounds, dyspnea (shortness of breath), hypoxia (oxygen deprivation), wheezing, pruritis (itchiness), postoperative pain, and wound drainage. Adverse events that occurred in more than 10 percent of the red blood cell patients included constipation, nausea, vomiting, exacerbated pain, increased cardiac enzymes, abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG), back pain, muscle spasms, hypoaesthesia, insomnia, anxiety, cough, pruritis, postoperative pain, and wound drainage. There were no deaths in either patient group at this site.

Study Design

Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive either Hemopure or allogeneic blood at the first transfusion decision. Patients randomized to the Hemopure group received an initial dose of two units of Hemopure and, if needed, up to eight additional units within the next six days. Patients requiring transfusion outside of these parameters were subsequently administered allogeneic blood and were not included in the blood avoidance totals. Control group patients received only standard transfusions of allogeneic blood.

To date, Hemopure has been administered to more than 800 patients in 22 completed or ongoing clinical trials at doses up to 36 units. One unit of Hemopure contains 30 grams of ultrapurified, chemically cross-linked hemoglobin in 250 milliliters of a balanced salt solution. This cross-linked hemoglobin circulates in the plasma when infused, and has a lower viscosity and more readily releases oxygen to tissues than blood. Hemopure is uniquely stable at room temperature for three years, is compatible with all blood types, and is purified through patented techniques that are validated to remove infectious agents, including bacteria, viruses, and the agents that are thought to cause transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE).

Biopure Corporation

Biopure Corporation (Nasdaq: BPUR), headquartered in Cambridge, Mass., is a leading developer, manufacturer and supplier of a new class of pharmaceuticals, called oxygen therapeutics, which are intravenously administered to deliver oxygen to the body's tissues. Hemopure(R) [hemoglobin glutamer - 250 (bovine), or HBOC-201] is approved in South Africa for the treatment of adult surgical patients who are acutely anemic and for the purpose of eliminating, reducing or delaying the need for allogenic red blood cells in adult surgical patients. The company is preparing to file a marketing application for Hemopure in the United States, followed by an application in Europe, for perioperative use of the product in patients undergoing elective surgery. The product is also being developed for use in trauma, cancer and ischemic events such as heart attack and stroke. Oxyglobin(R) [hemoglobin glutamer - 200 (bovine), or HBOC-301], the only product of its kind approved by the U.S. FDA and the European Commission, is commercially available in the United States, Germany, France and the United Kingdom for the treatment of anemia in dogs.

Statements in this press release that are not strictly historical may be forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that Biopure Corporation will be able to commercially develop its oxygen therapeutic products, that necessary regulatory approvals will be obtained, that anticipated milestones will be met in the expected timetable, that any clinical trials will be successful, or that any approved product will find market acceptance and be sold in the quantities anticipated.

Hello everyone,

thanks to our German friend, we have received this article :

Jehovahs Witnesses Courageous in the Face of Nazi Peril

It was edited by the Bethel correspondent in Selters (Germany).

The text its here below.

By Awake! Correspondent in Germany

JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES are well-known for their firm adherence to God's Word, the Bible. This often calls for courage, and it certainly affects their lives and their relationships with others.

For example, the Witnesses have deep regard for people of all ethnic and cultural backgrounds. They love God and their neighbor. (Matthew 22:35-40) Indeed, they are in full agreement with the apostle Peter, who declared: "For a certainty I perceive that God is not partial, but in every nation the man that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him."Acts 10:34, 35.

Jehovah's Witnesses are also known worldwide for their respect for law, order, and governmental authority. They have never been a seedbed of insurrection and never will be. This is true even when they are persecuted in some lands because of their taking the apostolic position: "We must obey God as ruler rather than men." (Acts 5:29; Matthew 24:9) At the same time, the Witnesses recognize the right of others to worship in harmony with the dictates of their conscience.

The courageous Christian stand of Jehovah's Witnesses in Germany and other lands dominated by Adolf Hitler is a matter of record. A notable event in Berlin, Germany, in 1933 illustrates their courage, their love for God and neighbor, and their respect for law, order, and religious freedom.

No Compromise With Hitler

It was more than 50 years ago that Hitler's monstrous 12-year reign of racism and murder came to an end. Yet, that Nazi regime inflicted wounds that grieve humanity to this day.

History recognizes that only a few groups courageously stood up and spoke out against Nazi terror. Among them were Jehovah's Witnesses, described as "a tiny island of unflagging [moral] resistance existing in the bosom of a terrorized nation." Their courageous stand is well documented by respected historians.

A few critics, however, including some former associates of Jehovah's Witnesses, charge that the Witnesses attempted to compromise with the Hitler regime in its early days. They claim that representatives of the Watch Tower Society tried unsuccessfully to curry favor with the new government and that, at least for a time, they endorsed the racist ideology of the Nazis, which eventually led to the murder of six million Jews.

These serious allegations are absolutely false. The following is a frank examination of the events in question, based on available documentation and historical context.

Looking Back

Jehovah's Witnesses have been active in Germany for more than 100 years. By 1933, there were about 25,000 Witnesses worshiping Jehovah God and distributing Bible literature throughout Germany.

Despite the freedoms granted by the German constitution of that time, Jehovah's Witnesses were frequently the target of defamation campaigns, launched primarily by religious opponents. As early as 1921, the Witnesses, then called Ernste Bibelforscher (Earnest Bible Students), were accused of being linked with the Jews in subversive political movements. The Bible Students were branded as the dangerous Bolshevik "Jewish worm," though no proof of the charges was ever produced. Swiss theologian Karl Barth later wrote: "The accusation that Jehovah's Witnesses are linked with the Communists can only be due to an involuntary or even intentional misunderstanding."

A church magazine in Germany charged that the Witnesses and the Jews were coconspirators in revolutionary movements. In response, the April 15, 1930, German edition of The Golden Age (forerunner of Awake!) stated: "We have no reason to regard this false accusation as an insultas we are convinced that the Jew is at least as valuable a person as a nominal Christian; but we reject the above untruth of the church tabloid because it is aimed at deprecating our work, as if it were being done not for the sake of the Gospel but for the Jews."

Thus, professor of history John Weiss wrote: "The Witnesses were free of German racial nationalism and had not brooded for centuries over the failure of the Jews to convert. The Witnesses still held to the original, if patronizing, Christian belief of the need to persuade all potential converts to Christ."

What Happened When Hitler Came to Power?

On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed Germany's new chancellor. In the beginning, the Hitler government worked to conceal its violent and extremist nature. Hence, the Witnesses, along with millions of other Germans in early 1933, viewed the National Socialist Party as the legitimate ruling authority of the time. The Witnesses hoped that the National Socialist (Nazi) government would realize that this peaceable, law-abiding Christian group posed no subversive threat to the State. This was no offer to compromise Bible principles. As has been the case in other lands, the Witnesses wanted to inform the government of the true nonpolitical nature of their religion.

It quickly became apparent that Jehovah's Witnesses were to be among the first targets of brutal Nazi suppression. The Witnesses were again branded as accomplices in an alleged Bolshevik-Jewish conspiracy. A campaign of persecution began.

Why would such a small religious community attract the fury of the new regime? Historian Brian Dunn identifies three fundamental reasons: (1) the international scope of the Witnesses, (2) their opposition to racism, and (3) their position of neutrality toward the State. Because of their Scriptural views, the German Witnesses refused to give the Hitler salute, to support the National Socialist Party, or later on to participate in military activities.Exodus 20:4, 5; Isaiah 2:4; John 17:16.

As a result, the Witnesses endured threats, interrogations, house searches, and other harassment by the police and SA (Hitler's Sturmabteilung, storm troopers, or Brownshirts). On April 24, 1933, officials seized and shut down the Watch Tower office in Magdeburg, Germany. After a thorough search yielded no incriminating evidence, and under pressure from the U.S. State Department, the police returned the property. By May 1933, though, the Witnesses were banned in several German states.

Witnesses Take Courageous Action

During this early period, Hitler carefully cultivated his public image as a champion of Christianity. He proclaimed his commitment to religious freedom, promising to treat Christian denominations "with objective justice." In order to enhance his image, the new chancellor made appearances in churches. This was a time when many people in countries that later would be at war with Germany were expressing admiration for Hitler's achievements.

Concerned about the rising tensions in Germany, Joseph F. Rutherford, then president of the Watch Tower Society, together with the Germany branch office manager, Paul Balzereit, decided to mount a campaign to inform Chancellor Hitler, government officials, and the public that Jehovah's Witnesses posed no threat to the German people and the State. Rutherford evidently believed that Hitler was unaware of the attacks against Jehovah's Witnesses or that he had been misinformed by religious elements regarding the Witnesses.

Therefore, the Magdeburg office arranged a convention to make use of the German citizens' right of petition. On short notice, Jehovah's Witnesses from all over Germany were invited to the Wilmersdorfer Tennishallen in Berlin on June 25, 1933. About 5,000 delegates were expected. Despite the hostile atmosphere, more than 7,000 courageously attended. The delegates adopted a resolution entitled "Declaration of Facts." This document protested the restrictions that had been put on the work of the Witnesses. It made a clear statement of their position and denied charges of seditious links with political causes of any sort. It stated:

"We are wrongfully charged before the ruling powers of this government . . . We do respectfully ask the rulers of the nation and the people to give a fair and impartial consideration to the statement of facts here made."

"We have no fight with any persons or religious teachers, but we must call attention to the fact that it is generally those who claim to represent God and Christ Jesus who are in fact our persecutors and who misrepresent us before the governments."

Convention of Courage or Compromise?

Some now hold that the 1933 Berlin convention and the "Declaration of Facts" were attempts on the part of prominent Witnesses to show support for the Nazi government and its hatred of the Jews. But their assertions are not true. They are based on misinformation and on misinterpretation of the facts.

For instance, critics claim that the Witnesses decorated the Wilmersdorfer Tennishallen with swastika flags. Photographs of the 1933 convention clearly show that they displayed no swastikas in the hall. Eyewitnesses confirm that there were no flags inside.

It is possible, however, that there were flags on the building's exterior. A Nazi combat troop had used the hall on June 21, the Wednesday prior to the convention. Then just the day before the convention, crowds of young people along with units of the SS (Schutzstaffel, originally Hitler's Blackshirt bodyguards), SA, and others celebrated the summer solstice nearby. So Witnesses arriving at the Sunday convention might have been greeted with the sight of a building decked with swastika flags.

Had there been swastika flags decorating the hall's exterior, corridors, or even its interior, the Witnesses would have left them alone. Even today, when Jehovah's Witnesses rent public facilities for meetings and conventions, they do not remove national symbols. But there is no evidence that the Witnesses themselves hung any flags or that they saluted them.

Critics further state that the Witnesses opened the convention with the German national anthem. Actually, the convention began with "Zion's Glorious Hope," Song 64 in the Witnesses' religious songbook. The words of this song were set to music composed by Joseph Haydn in 1797. Song 64 had been in the Bible Students' songbook since at least 1905. In 1922 the German government adopted Haydn's melody with words by Hoffmann von Fallersleben as their national anthem. Nevertheless, the Bible Students in Germany still sang their Song 64 occasionally, as did Bible Students in other countries.

The singing of a song about Zion could hardly be construed as an effort to placate the Nazis. Under pressure from anti-Semitic Nazis, other churches removed Hebrew terms such as "Judah," "Jehovah," and "Zion" from their hymnals and liturgies. Jehovah's Witnesses did not. The convention organizers, then, certainly did not expect to win favor with the government by singing a song extolling Zion. Possibly, some delegates may have been reluctant to sing "Zion's Glorious Hope," since the melody of this composition by Haydn was the same as that of the national anthem.

Actual photos of the convention attended by Jehovah's Witnesses in 1933 at the Tennishallen

A Statement of Intent

With the government in transition and the country in turmoil, the Witnesses wanted to make a clear statement of their position. By means of the "Declaration," the Witnesses strongly denied accusations of financial involvement or political ties with Jews. Thus, the document stated:

"It is falsely charged by our enemies that we have received financial support for our work from the Jews. Nothing is farther from the truth. Up to this hour there never has been the slightest bit of money contributed to our work by Jews."

Having mentioned money, the "Declaration" went on to denounce unfair practices of big business. It said: "It has been the commercial Jews of the British-American empire that have built up and carried on Big Business as a means of exploiting and oppressing the peoples of many nations."

This statement clearly did not refer to the Jewish people in general, and it is regrettable if it has been misunderstood and has given cause for any offense. Some have claimed that Jehovah's Witnesses shared the hostility toward the Jews that was commonly taught in the German churches at the time. This is absolutely untrue. By their literature and conduct during the Nazi era, the Witnesses rejected anti-Semitic views and condemned the Nazi mistreatment of the Jews. Certainly, their kindness toward Jews who shared their lot in the concentration camps provides a resounding rebuttal to this false accusation.

The "Declaration" defined the Witnesses' work as religious in character, stating: "Our organization is not political in any sense. We only insist on teaching the Word of Jehovah God to the people."

The "Declaration" also reminded the government of its own promises. The Witnesses upheld certain high ideals, and these happened to be publicly espoused also by the German government. Among these were family values and religious freedom.

In this regard, the "Declaration" added: "A careful examination of our books and literature will disclose the fact that the very high ideals held and promulgated by the present national government are set forth in and endorsed and strongly emphasized in our publications, and show that Jehovah God will see to it that these high ideals in due time will be attained by all persons who love righteousness."

Thus, the Witnesses never expressed support for the Nazi Party. Moreover, in the exercise of religious freedom, they did not intend to stop their public preaching.Matthew 24:14; 28:19, 20.

According to the account in the 1974 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses, some German Witnesses were disappointed that the language of the "Declaration" was not more explicit in tone. Had the branch office manager, Paul Balzereit, weakened the text of the document? No, for a comparison of the German and the English texts shows that this is not the case. Evidently, an impression to the contrary was based on the subjective observations of some who were not directly involved in the preparation of the "Declaration." Their conclusions may also have been influenced by the fact that Balzereit renounced his faith only two years later.

It is now known that a ban on Jehovah's Witnesses in Germany had been issued on Saturday, June 24, 1933, just the day before the Berlin convention. The convention organizers and the police learned of this ban a few days later. In view of the climate of tension and the evident hostility of Nazi officials, it is remarkable that the convention was held at all. It is no exaggeration to say that 7,000 Witnesses courageously put their liberty at risk by attending the gathering.

Following the convention, the Witnesses distributed 2.1 million copies of the "Declaration." Some Witnesses were arrested immediately and sent to labor camps. Thus, the Nazi government fully revealed its oppressive, violent nature and soon launched an all-out attack on this small group of Christians.

Wrote Professor Christine King: "Brute force could not suppress the Witnesses, the Nazis were to learn." It was as the "Declaration" stated: "The power of Jehovah God is supreme and there is no power that can successfully resist him." *

**Now let's compare all the quotes from the DECLARATION with

the written proof taken from directly from the WBTS

" 1934's YEARBOOK" .

(Quotes kindly provided by BLONDIE).

*** Yearbook 1934 p.134 ***

The greatest and the most oppressive empire on earth is the Anglo-American empire. By that is meant the British Empire, of which the United States of America forms a part. It has been the commercial Jews of the British-American empire that have built up and carried on Big Business as a means of exploiting and oppressing the peoples of many nations. This fact particularly applies to the cities of London and New York, the stronghold of Big Business. This fact is so manifest in America that there is a proverb concerning the city of New York which says: The Jews own it, the Irish Catholics rule it, and the Americans pay the bills.

*** Yearbook 1934 p.135 ***

The present government of Germany has declared emphatically against Big Business oppressors and in opposition to the wrongful religious influence in the political affairs of the nations. Such is exactly our position.

*** Yearbook 1934 Page 136 ***

Instead of being against the principles advocated by the government of Germany, we stand squarely for such principles, and point out that Jehovah God through Christ Jesus will bring about the full realization of these principles and will give to the people peace and prosperity and the greatest desire of every honest heart.

*** Yearbook 1934 p.137 ***

A careful examination of our books and literature will disclose the fact that the very high ideals held and promulgated by the present national government are set forth in and endorsed and strongly emphasized in our publications and show that Jehovah God will see to it that these high ideals in due time will be attained by all persons who love righteousness...

*** Yearbook 1934 p.138 ***

"Let us remind the government and the people of Germany, that it was the League of Nations compact that laid upon the shoulders of the German people the great unjust and unbearable burdens. That the League of Nations compact was not brought forth by the friends of Germany."

Hello everyone,

Im sorry for the absence from this excellent

Board but for the moment Im very busy in my professional life.

Nevertheless I would like to correct a statement

concerning a missing reference in the 1999CD ( from the WTBS)

Here is the existing text taken from the1999 WTBS CD:

*** w52 2/1 95 Questions from Readers *

If the Watchtower Society is free from racial prejudice, why does it tolerate segregation at its assemblies in certain sections of country? Is this not a course of compromise?F. C., Wisconsin.

So let us please God by preaching the gospel despite the undesirable conditions the Devils world may make for us. Let us not be sidetracked by Satan and caught in a subtle snare camouflaged in lofty motives and ideals. Can we not wait upon Jehovah to avenge the wrongs we suffer now?

Really, our colored brothers have great cause for rejoicing. Their race is meek and teachable, and from it comes a high percentage of the theocratic increase.

What if the worldly wise and powerful and noble look down on them as foolish and weak and ignoble, not on an equality with self-exalted whites? It is to Gods ultimate honor, for he confounds the wise of this world by choosing those the world considers foolish and weak and ignoble. Let us boast in Jehovah and in our equality in his sight, rather than wanting to boast in equality in the worlds sight. (1 Cor. 1:26-31, NW) In due time the exalted ones will be humbled, and the humble ones will be exalted. (Matt. 23:12) All of us await this vindication from God, which will come in his due time. Until then, as Paul advised concerning slavery we advise concerning its lingering trace, segregation: Do not let it worry you. (1 Cor. 7:21, NW) When possible we will meet together, when not possible we will meet separately; but in either event we are always united in spirit, brothers equal in our own sight, in Christs sight, and in Gods sight."

( I have only quoted the last 19 lines of the article).

As everyone can see the phrase IS STILL THERE!!!

This shows how brilliant are some of the written comments in the WTBS publications.

Hello Blondie,

thanks for the interest. I have been rather busy and away from home

quite a while ...and also sick. But now things are going better.

Greetings, James Charles MacHislopp.

P.S. I do greatly appreciate your posts.
