NomadSoul,
Why defend error? The Watchtower forces the friends to kill themselves. How much better it would be if it was left to conscience rather than Watchtower Law!

Hello Jay88,
I believe 1914 was a marked year but I do not believe Jesus started ruling invisibly in 1914. The invisible presence teaching was an outgrowth of the failed prophecies of the 19th century. I believe when Jesus arrives his disciples will for certain know and then the whole world will know as well.

Hello Mickey Mouse,
No, I don't believe the Watchtower is God's "organization". Don't equate my agreement with them on the basics with agreement on all things. If that were so I would not be posting here!

Hello Mad Sweeney,
I met Raymond Franz years ago when he was on the Governing Body. A fine brother. I was sad to hear of his problems with the Governing Body and of his recent death. Yes, I've read his book, Crisis of Conscience. Here is my take on this, no organization, religion, government ect, is free from error or from those who lie and deceive. Ancient Israel had its share of bad kings and priests, early Christianity had its share of false brothers as well, all religions do, all governments and all secular organizations do as well. This is life, this is mankind.
The Amercan government is not free from wrongs and error but it is, in my opinion, among the best governments in the world though it is filled with error. I believe in Jehovah and in his Kingdom, I believe that God is not a Trinity nor do I believe in the immortal soul or in hellfire. I believe God's Kingdom will come. I believe we are living in times unknown to mankind's past. I believe that the earth is being ruined as it is referenced in the book of Revelation.
I also believe that the Watchtower will be corrected just as ancient Israel was corrected. And that this very forum is serving to help correct it.

Hello No Room For George,
Forced refusal of blood transfusions is the most reprehensible, in my opinion, because it forces the friends to kill themselves or their young "adult" children. There are other problems with the Watchtower and those I will address in other posts.

Hello Clarity,
Yes, I'm from the days when Kingdom Halls had windows, allowing the sunshine to come in. When to serve meant just that and when the air was electric, energy filled the hall and all was possible. Now, like the U.S. itself, we are degrading into something I don't understand and refuse to participate in. When I was young "moving forward" was important in the Society, today staying in place is the word of the day. And in those rare times when the Governing Body decides to "move forward" they do it so clumsily, so stupidly, that it cannot be called "moving forward" but rather only stumbling around. The generation teaching being one example of this.

Hello Gayle,
I agree all those on the Governing Body are responsible. I singled out Br. Herd because from what I am told he personally vacillates on this and therefore should be held to the fire for it.

Hello Snowbird,
No, I'm not African-American.
There have been several families in our circuit who have had to deal with refusing blood though they themselves were not sure it was necessary to do so. It is a damnable thing to force people to kill themselves and I've about had it.

Hello James Woods,
If my father decides that a certain course is good though it forces people to kill themselves I am just as responsible as he is if I continue in it. More importantly, Jehovah's Witnesses should follow the Bible not Br. Franz. I have heard that Samuel Herd is frequently troubled by this but he says nothing. If that is true then he is responsible for his own actions. To put it on those who are no longer alive is rather cowardly. He should stand up and do what he, it seems, believes.

Hello Folks,
I feel like a fish who has been struggling for oxygen so long he's almost dead. Time to grow some legs and get the hell out of hell. So, now what? Oh yes, I remember, preach the word, advertise, advertise, advertise the pseudo Governing Body and its kingdom.
Some background: baptized about 60 years ago, served full time, married, we had no children, served when servants were called "servants". Was serving as the congregation servant when the elder arrangement came along. Fine with me. The more hands the better or so I thought at the time. Then the Governing Body came along in full swing, that was fine I thought, again the more hands the better. What a mistake that kind of thinking turned out to be. Br. Knorr and Br. Franz had problems but at least they were able to put together something that for us at the time could be respected. Respect comes first, trust afterwards. But what do we have today? We have a Governing Body that does not know its left foot from its right. The leaning tower of Pisa should be on the cover of the Watchtower magazine, that would represent more accurately what the leadership truly is. And so, here I am, still in and not in. Not serving, not commenting, just watching the clock tick until the leadership, the leaning tower finally falls.
But enough about me, on to the advertising.
Is Samuel Herd responsible for the deaths that result from the FORCED refusal of blood transfusions on his watch? Absolutely! He has blood on his hands and I believe he knows it. Anointed brothers do not allow wrongs initiated by the leadership in the past to continue, they stand up and are counted as being willing and able to take the heat and to stop the deaths from the forced refusal of blood transfusions and to stop the maligning of Jehovah's name. But, no, Br. Herd smiles, nods, and leans back in his chair, allowing others to decide his conscience for him. Meanwhile brothers and sisters who trust that he has their best interests in mind and that he is truly guided by Jehovah continue to risk everything on his word even the lives of their children.
Murder most foul! Eating blood was NOT always a capital offense in the Hebrew scriptures but the Governing Body does not read the Hebrew Scriptures they read the past publications of the Watchtower, thus the leaning toward oblivion.
From Damn the Watchtower and all those who are hypocrites within it!
