  Watchtower organization on blood:

  “In former times thousands of youths died for putting God first. They are still doing it, only today the drama is played out in hospitals and courtrooms, with blood transfusions the issue.”—Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, Awake 22, 1995 p 2

  Watchtower representative, Eugene Rosam on blood:

  “No reasonable person would want to support a religious belief that is interpreted as bringing death to children.”—Eugene Rosam, Director of Hospital Information Services at Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, H E C Forum, 1996; 8(4) p 210

  One is left to wonder if author and Jehovah’s Witness, Eugene Rosam knew what religion he was working for. Not only should the doctrinal teaching be interpreted as bringing death to children, it has admittedly brought premature death to children.

  After reading Eugene Rosam’s comments above, I’m left to conclude with the formation of Hospital Information Services department the Watchtower organization must have transferred the controlled substance locker from the infirmary to Rosam’s office! Alternately, Rosam is intoxicated on Watchtower.

  The losses to the Jehovah’s Witness community are significantly higher than you have calculated for the Canadian branch.

  When you apply a statistical annual birth rate of 20 births per 1000 (total population*) the Canadian statistics should have realized approximately 4,500 in new publishers each year. But this did not happen. Assuming all those baptized were children of the JW community, after accounting for mortality, the loss is more like 38,000. If we assume some baptized were not children of the JW community, then the losses increase for every person baptized that came from outside the JW community.

  Assuming about 50 percent baptized came from outside the JW community, then the loss over the period in question is close to 50,000.

  Marvin Shilmer

  * Total population includes everyone in the JW community. According to an article by Watchtower attorney Carolyn Wah, this population is about 229 percent of the average publisher count and it includes infants, etc. Wah terms publishers as “members” and non-publishers in the JW community as “adherents”.

  It’s amazing to observe this theatrical production of the WTS’. Not a single one of the licensed doctors interviewed would sit in front of a peer group and say that blood products prohibited under the WTS’ blood doctrine are never medically necessary to prevent premature death. The published works by the same doctors in peer reviewed medical journals prove this point. Yet the WTS finds a way to edit a video making it sound like these guys are behind the WTS’ blood doctrine as a matter of good medical practice. It lying 101.

  i will use my other thread today to talk about gilead.. one must apply for several years to show they are serious, unless you know a gb member or another heavy in the service dept.

  a couple first gets a long app in the mail usually after several years of applying at the dc.

  Jeff,

  Welcome to the great crowd who figured out the Watchtower organization!

  Does Gilead still issue curriculum material to students? If so, do you still have this material?

  I left you a private message. See your inbox.

  Grissom, will you stand by your words?

  by AuldSoul in

  2. beliefs

  grissom,.

  on another thread, you wrote of jehovah's witnesses and the publications produced by the watchtower bible and tract society (presumably of new york, inc.):.

  grissom: the beliefs are from the bible.. prove it.

  Howdy, Auldsoul

  Grissom is unable to prove true from the Bible such teachings as the WTS’ blood doctrine. If he were able then you can bet your bottom dollar he’d stand up right here, right now, and do it. He is just as lost as all the other Watchtower worshippers. These do not serve a theocracy; they serve a Watchocracy.

  Looks Like the Andersons Lost in Court

  Time and education, these are the ultimate foes the WTS fears. This has not changed, and it will not change until the WTS, ultimately, capitulates to reality and sound thinking. Exposure is an uncomfortable embarrassment hung around the WTS’ neck in the meantime. The Anderson case has, mightily, added weight of embarrassing exposure around the neck of WTS’ dogs. The case has also added to an ever growing knowledge-base that makes education possible.

  Right now egotistical small-minded blowhards have found in the WTS a system where they can gain social traction, recognition and power. Within the WTS system these malefactors prey on fear born of ignorance and superstition. Time and education will, ultimately, end this WTS system, and the reign of these power-monger canines sporting their Watchocratic education.

  Unfortunately, tomorrow’s scoundrels are born today. For every WTS-like system that falls under its own weakness there are a hundred wannabe replacements waiting, wanting, to be like the WTS. They want worship.

  If Jesus is the truth then pursuing and putting whatever is true first and foremost is following Jesus.

  The only meaningful worship is the pursuit of facts and sound thinking, and living accordingly.

  Let knowledge and sound thinking reign.

  From the recording:

  “Jehovah does not send his people into any environment where they will be killed.”

  Um… anyone in Bethel ever heard the name, Jesus Christ?
