recently on the topix website we have talking about blood transfusions.. it has been asserted by one ex witness that jws are now allowed to store their blood providing it is for a limited time.

for example the blood could be taken from the patient sent to the lab to have it cleaned or whatever, and then returned to the patient.

the november 2006 kingdom ministry was cited to back this up as well as a watchtower from 2000. my question is, are jws now allowed to store their blood for a current limited time?.

Is the Watchtower shy about repeating their new "generation" teaching?

as i recall in the 1980s talks and watchtower literature, magazines and books were always talking about the "generation" teaching and how it proved armageddon was going to come any day now.. but am i correct in thinking they have only actually mentioned the new "overlapping generations" teaching once or twice in the literature?

why are they so shy about talking about their great new interpretation?

it's almost enough to make you suspect they are a embarrassed about it.. mention it once or twice, don't dwell on it, hope everyone just accepts it, and don't bring it up again.

Egg - you more than twist my words and are insulting, I withdraw from this conversation.

Egg - I'm not a busybody in other peoples affairs, I'm not worrying about you. I'm challenging you, as are others here. You continually say things like 'gods organisation' , the vast majority of people here don't agree with you, we don't believe watchtower is gods organisation. You do, and that's fine by me, you are allowed your view, as are the rest of us here.

The simple facts of the matter are, this website is not a site for JWs to come and associate with like minded people, it's more a place to find help to recover from the damage watchtower has done to people's lives. Don't insult the people here by saying that it's ok for you to engage with us here. It's as ok for you to do that as it is to celebrate your birthday.

Slimboyfat - there's nothing wrong with that at all, many here have the best reasons for doing so, my point was that egg is saying its ok as a JW to post here, I was only saying that if that's the case, let all your JW brothers and sisters know that you do it. Of course he won't, because it's not.

If there is no problem with you posting here post your congregation and position held, if any, in that congregation. My conscience? What on earth are you talking about? I couldnt care less if you posted here or not, you are of no threat to me, but it is clear to me that Jehovah's Witnesses should not post on these sites, I remember hearing that myself from the kingdom hall when I went. Either you are lying or the brothers delivering talks on not even looking let alone taking part in conversations with, as you would call them, apostates, are lying.
