I despise the blood policy of the JW's. Not only has it become confusing, this case is a good example of how a one size fits all approach does not work on an international level when it comes to health policies.
What I really hate though, is the unnecessary pressure it puts on well-meaning and dedicated hospital staff.
What I really, really hate are the lies made by the JW spokeperson that 'they dont offer medical guidance', when they are putting peoples lives at risk by doing exactly that.

ah, yes, another shining example of the watchtower’s *unmatched* commitment to rational thought.
forget logic, science, or even basic common sense—just blame that suspiciously cursed handbag for all your troubles!
This all coincided with the period in the late 70's - 80's known as the 'Satanic Panic'. A lot of fundamental christian groups all had similar stories related to imminent possession.
In popular culture , a perfect storm of events like Dungeons and Dragons (created by an ex-JW), heavy metal and The Exorcist -secret cults and conspiracy theories were abundant and even the U.S. congress got involved.
i'm going to drop a bomb shell here for all you who think you know something about depression.
most depression cases are being cause by the food and drug administration.
they are putting things in certain foods that they know will affect certain people especially those who have gluten problems.
Depression/ mental illness is often hereditary.
Most of the people you see on the news doing crazy things are likely to have schizophrenia, or other issues. If you happen to be pre-disposed, taking drugs (usually marijuana), can trigger life-long schizophrenia. People with schizpophrenia start taking drugs , like ice, to stop hearing voices and it makes them worse. At that point, their life - and their family's life is pretty much f^%cked unless they can make huge changes.
trump said in another speech, had the citizens never voted democrat, and rinos were more concern about the citizens than lining their own pockets, the government would of had enough money to buy every citizen a home, car, full paid college education, and all social security recipients would be receiving 100k a year.
the trillions of dollars that were stolen by democrats and rinos and given to other countries for transgender surgeries, wars in other countries, and other worthless stuff throughout the years, could have been invested in so many avenues, and american citizens would be the richest people in the entire world and the most innovative.
don’t ever vote democrat again.
Robbing Peter to pay Paul. It sounds like its just shifting things around.
doge got the crazy idea of auditing the gold in fort knox.
come to find out no one has been allowed to see if there is any gold at fort knox for the past 40 years.
not even the senators or congressman have been allowed to see the gold.
If the American Government is Lying about the Amount of Gold it has to back up the US Dollar the consequences would be disastrous
America stopped backing its currency with gold in 1971 when it became a fiat system. If my maths is right, America has about 748.2 billion USD worth of gold.
it is with profound humility and reverence that i share a message of great significance.
in the year 2001, my son and i witnessed the birth of the kingdom of god, experiencing spiritual battles that affirm our divine calling.
as prophesied in the scriptures, my son is the elijah to come, the forerunner to jesus' second coming.. living in the wilderness by his own choosing, my son embodies the spirit and mission of elijah, preparing the way for the lord.
Its with profound humility that I ask you, for the sake of everyone, please start taking your meds again.

It's a different world than pre-internet.
I agree in the sense that stupid people are more obvious because they now have access to social media.

Just about everyone here is an apostate - so unless you're looking for a walk on the wild side.....
the watchtower—study edition | march 2025. keep walking by faith.
7 note how javier, a brother in south america, saw the need to walk by faith.
he says: “i had applied for a prestigious job that would double my salary and provide considerable personal satisfaction.” however, javier had the deep desire to pioneer.
Of all the hard core pioneer's I remember from the 80's, I don't think any are still pioneering.
As we were getting close to the end of the century, it seemed expectations were rampant about the end. So many self-righteous JW's giving their opinions to the younger ones about how we should live our lives and sadly, myself included, many of us took educational advice that affects us decades later.
Time bit many of those pioneer's right in the arse and they too have had to play catch up , dropping pioneering, getting full time jobs to afford kids and a roof over their heads. Somehow, many of them still manage to remain self-righteous, when they should be ashamed of themselves.
