by elderelite in

we work against you, we use our position to convince and sway those that still drink your koolaid.

i'm looking to compile a real history of how this heinous practice came into existance.. i've read the 1947 article condemning it and i believe knorr instituted it in 1952 when frustrated with a wife swapping ordeal at columbia heights.. can someone confirm?

post information?

the more the better.......thanks!.

I would suggest that Knorr was inspired in this policy by his mentor, Rutherford, who enjoyed dismissing Bethelites who offended him with short or no notice. The Moyle case springs to mind immediately, and there have been others I've long wondered about (Fogh).

friends

eight years ago before simon changed over to this site, i was known as blueblades.

i mentioned back then 7/21/03 that i was diagnosed as having a narrow aortic valve.

well, the time has come to update all my friends back then and now.

Best wishes, 'Blades.

I had mitral valve prolapse repair a few years ago, and I'm still here. I'm confident you will come through this OK. In my case, my original equipment just needed a supporting nylon ring installed, but the heart had to come out o' me chest and be cut open to allow the ring to be installed. Recovery isn't that bad, as long as you avoid coughing and sneezing - they hurt like hell. When they stop hurting you know your ribcage is once again intact.

Begin walking again as SOON AS YOU CAN.

NOTA BENE: The term (sic) is used after a word or phrase to indicate that it is shown exactly as originally printed. In the above case, WE know the proper spelling would be "Jehovah's" but the writer didn't know that.

Jehovah Witness who refused transfusion allowed to die in UK

Two cases involving Jehovah Witnesses who refused blood transfusions are in the news: a 22-year-old with sickle cell anaemiawho died in the UK and a 4-year-old girl in Australia who lived after a court-ordered transfusion.

In Britain, a 22-year-old man refused a blood transfusion. After consulting lawyers, his doctors decided to respect his decision and he passed away after about three weeks in hospital. There were concerns that the man's mother, who was with him when he died, and an elder from his church were exerting an undue influence. However, a doctor assessed him and declared that he was fully aware of what he was doing.

At the moment there are no substitutes for blood transfusions that can be offered to Jehovah’s Witnesses although researchers predict that a product will be available in 5 to 10 years.

In Adelaide, the parents of a four-year-old with leukaemia refused to allow her to have the blood transfusion she needed. Her father told the media: "We adhere to strict Bible principles and one of those is to abstain from blood. We want the best possible treatment for (her) and the hospital are doing a great job. The only thing we don't consent to is the issue of blood."

The South Australian Supreme Court ordered the hospital to give her a transfusion, which had a 90% chance of saving her life. "I'm satisfied that there are no alternatives to the provision of a blood transfusion. I'm satisfied that it's in (the girl's) best interest to received the blood transfusion despite her parents' objections," said Justice Richard White.

Jehovah's Witness doesn't vote, so she can't get liquor license

by Black Sheep in

jehovah's witness doesn't vote, so she can't get liquor license.

veronica brown, who is applying for a liquor license, said she was stunned to learn about the requirement.

but she said that voting is adverse to her beliefs as a jehovah's witness and that registering to vote and then not voting would be hypocritical.. http://www.omaha.com/article/20120613/news01/706139915/-1.
