  Administering a Blood Transfusion When Directed by a Superior- Jehovah's Witness Policy

  by Ron.W. in

  administering a blood transfusion when directed by a superior - jehovah's witness policy effective june 15th, 2018. while the hospital liasion committee elders were instructed that they may inform doctors and nurses of this decision, this letter was not allowed to be distributed to anyone outside of hlc members.. as a result of the concealment of this letter, and by virtue of the fact that this information was only to be shared verbally with jehovah's witness medical professionals and others, confusion erupted across the united states and in other branch offices of jehovah's witnesses.

  countless letters were received at watchtower headquarters in new york from concerned jw nurses, paramedics, and others who were instructed verbally on this new policy, but which contradicted existing written policy that had been in effect for many decades.. in addition to letters from witness medical professionals, circuit overseers in the field wrote to the us branch and hospital information desk in new york about the problems caused by this unreleased policy.

  for example, south carolina circuit overseer brandon roberts reported to headquarters that "the majority of the nurses in our circuit were not aware of this updated policy.

  How many of you remember the "Pioneer Shuffle " and the special "time reporting" of pioneers?

  i started pioneering in my late teens an remember how slow pioneers would walk to the doors while out in circus.

  also, they would not really talk to anybody at all.

  they would start their time as soon as they got dressed an out the door, while us regular shucks started our time at the first door we knocked at.

  It's curious how people like this keep coming up. I've read a bit about P S L Johnson and even had some of his books at one time. This guy sounds much the same.

  Awakes says playing Chess is evil not for Witnesses!

  by Witness 007 in

  2. bible

  awake 73 3/23 p.12 "the spirit of compatition between players can lead to unpleasant circumstances...in some homes tensions linger longer then checkmate.

  chess is a game of war a play substitute for the art of war...danger of stirring up compatiton and hostility to one another something the bible warns christians to avoid.

  what effect does playing chess have on you is it wholesome?

  I love chess, which you can see from my avatar. I've played in USCF tournaments and it is great fun. Some of my best friendships have developed over the chessboard.

  The '70s WT article was written during the 'Fischer' boom after the '72 Fischer-Spassky match was top news. Lots of people were introduced to chess at that time in the US. There's never been anything like it afterwards. As is usually the case, the WT discourages anything which 1) results in JWs making friends in a non JW context, and 2) takes time and energy away from the WT treadmill activities. Anything which does these two things will bring down the WT ire.

  i’m calling it folks, world war 3 looks like it’s a done deal.. belarus has entered ukraine, and nato is involved heavily, just not “boots on the ground”.. will there be a nuclear exchange?

  i would have said no 5 days ago, now i’m not so sure.. how will this effect wt?

  probably more of the same fear mongering..

  The Ukraine invasion is reminiscent of Budapest 1956 and Prague 1968. I'm more than a little worried where this is heading.

  Are Jehovahs Witnesses a cult?

  by GoverningBody in

  this question has been presented many times throughout the years.

  somewhat recently, there has been much talk surrounding the "bite method" :.

  "bite” stands for behavior, information, thought, and emotional control.. some examples were thrown at me, such as the decisions of who we associate with, discouraging any worldy media, encouraging our brothers and sisters to report any of our misbehaviours to the elders, our rejection of criticism on the truth, shunning etc.. what do we think about this?.

  I view is as more of a spectrum, rather than a simple yes or no question. There have been quite a number of groups of people, some religious, some political, that have erupted into the news; Jonestown, Waco, Manson, etc. Invariably when studied, these groups have certain characteristics that they use to control members and maintain the groupthink. It is a bit alarming to read these characteristics and see elements of it in your own life. It might be in your church (JWs as well), it might be at work (corporate jobs particularly), it might even be your club or card-playing buddies. JWs are definitely somewhere on the spectrum, worse than most, but not the worst.

  I viewed the video concerning Andrew Thomson's complaint and I think it is frivolous.

  He wrote an article in which he referenced the NWT as his primary Bible translation and the article was rejected. One reason for the rejection was the editor's statement that the NWT translators lacked credentials. So Thomson claims he lost income due to the NWT and the WT not publishing the credentials of the translators.

  Seems silly to me.
