  People You Wouldn't Mind See Going

  certain people are in positions that can affect us.

  certain family members or jws can make our lives miserable.. some politicians, we would be happy to see them or at least their terms expire.. certain sports figures, religious leaders, actors, and other types cold be on our "wish list" to get out of our brains.. can you think of anyone that you wouldn't mind ever hearing about again??

  religion: another sacrifice paid in blood.

  as sect's transfusion ban claims a mother's life, ex-member recalls her brush with deathby susie mesurepublished: 11 november 2007 for rachel underhill, a 32-year-old mother of two, the news that emma gough, a jehovah's witness, had died last month after refusing a potentially life-saving blood transfusion following the difficult birth of her twins, brought back memories of her own near-death experience in the operating theatre.

  I'm with BluesBrother on this one.

  I liked the article when I read it at the weekend.

  But that statement is as bad as any the WT puts in it's rag.

  Evidently a study suggested that 12% of JWs would accept a blood transfusion . . . and 29% also liked cheesecake . . .

  I wanna see the source . . .

  Learning to Think in Shades of Gray and other Colors Too

  by flipper in

  2. friends

  it seems to be hard when getting out of the witnesses for many to realize that nobody really knows about many things in life.

  good and evil, what happens when we die.

  those leaving the witnesses may see it as a big loss in not knowing, and some more than others go through a whole grieving loss process with denial, bargaining, anger, etc.

  KK.

  I can indeed.

  And at sometime in the future I can turn around and say "You know, I think I was wrong" and change my mind.

  But if I ever tell you that God's using me as His exclusive mouthpiece - hit me with a rolled up copy of the Spenborough Guardian . . .

  I agree totally with this.

  I think that this is equally applicable to those who would call themselves Christians or believers (like myself)

  I have my beliefs. My experiences and observations lead me to many shadesof gray and lots of colours.

  Some say "You can't believe that if you're a Christian"

  Seemingly I can

  Best thing that ever happened to me!

  Anyone watched the film 'Sicko'?

  by katiekitten in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i watched this film last night, and it made me really really grateful that we have free health care in the uk.

  i know we complain about the state of the nhs, but the bottom line is if there is ever anything wrong with me my first thought will not be 'does my insurance cover this' or 'can i afford this'.. there was one part of the film where michael moore takes some people to cuba to get free health care and one woman picks up inhalers for 5 cents a piece, that are costing her $120 in the us.

  she just breaks down and crys at the disparity of the cost.. it was also telling to see the insurance companies employ people specifically to try and find ways to deny claims or to void policies where a claim has been made.

  When did the WT stop teaching the idea of a rapture?

  by cabasilas in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  reading old stuff from russell's day, you can see the bible students were expecting they'd all be raptured in 1878 and many were hoping for it in 1881. also, 1914 and 1918 were other times they were expecting it.

  when did they stop believing that the anointed would be translated to heaven?

  i'm assuming it was during rutherford's presidency, but wonder if anyone knows when that belief was changed?

  I'd assume that they still teach the rapture although they only apply it to "The Remnant"

  I'm sure they teach that some of the 144000 will survive Armageddon so that'll require a "rapture" then

  BUT - they change stuff so often I may be hopelessly out of date!!

  IMPORTANT: JWS and the CHARITIES COMMISSION

  by Dansk in

  2. friends

  dear all (especially those in the uk),.

  following on from danny's excellent post here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/16/128626/1.ashx i have just sent an e-mail to the charities commission.

  some time ago i wrote to you about the dangers of jehovah's witnesses and how they don't deserve charity status because far from helping mankind they are a real danger to it.
