they won't give you the sweat off of there balls!.
I gave up paradise when I realized I have to be with them for eternity. NO THANKS!
As far as I am concerning they are a lot more than brain washed. They will turn into Manson's girls if they were order by the GB. Sadly I am saying this from personal experiences.
i have no idea what happens to those who take blood transfusions.
this i don't think, is never made clear at the meetings.
do they get disfellowshipped or reproved or is it a conscience matter or what?.
Captain Obvious said, "it's technically a conscience matter for legal reasons of course."
Absolutely! We had a meeting part on this not long ago(2-3 months ago), as far as I know nothing changed.
The WTS's double policy, the public one and the inside one, seems apply to this doctrine as well.

grabonzo said, "Why defend the WTS on this matter?
I am stunned by the comment which said,"thedirection cusation of a death from refusing blood is not the WT doctrine but the individual actor".
How many time have I told that very same twisted propaganda from the Watchtower publications and the elders!
For example, it said in the 'Question from Readers' on neutrality issue that it wasn't the WTS but indivisuals made personal decision. I was hard core witness then but didn't buy it. Any sane mind could see its dishonesty BS. The WTS wasn't going to take responsibility for their actions but dumping on to their loyal followrs.
Would he have gone to prison hadn't he abused and thretened with disfellowshipping unless he abide by their polices? what is more, thousands young men unnecessarily went to the prison because the GB refused honor alternative service. Young men from all over the world wrote letters to the GB and tried to reason with GB. The GB replied back and told young men that they will be DF'ed if they take alternative. You are saying it wasn't the WT doctrine but the individual actor? Was it why young men found themselves in the prison? ( so was the case with all other doctrines, including blood doctrine. In fact the WTS has been a lot more aggressive with blood doctrine)
Why do you reasoning and talking like the GB? You willing to go that far in order to make your point?
It is person's constitutional rights petitioning to the Goverment for what he believe to be unfair.
Besides, the freedom of Religion is not 'OF' BUT ' FROM'
has anyone ever put a note / flyer in a jw donation box?or has anyone ever found one in a donation box?
what was your reaction?.
i've heard of some putting stickers in literature (before it's published).. i was thinking of dropping a few in the donation box (when i visit my elderly mother i sometimes go to the meeting).. what would be a good note?.
How about write $100 on a blank paper along with a note, 'fake christian deserve fake money' or 'You claim to be God's mouth piece I claim to be Mint' or 'Your Public talk and Watchtower Study deserves this'....
hey jwn.
a couple of mormon missionaries came to my house last week and i invited them in.
what can i say, curiosity killed the cat.
Can mormon drink caffein?(answer is no then ask can mormon drink coke, mountain dew,...answer is yes, I always wanted to know the reason)
Who adopted the practice of Polygamy? Was it Joseph Smith or Brighem Young? ( I understood it was BY but told by a mormon it was JS.)
what do you think about JW?(before asking #7)
Ask about ex-communicating policy?
Do you believe Original Garden of Eden was in Missouri, USA?
What do you think of wife and children of Joseph Smith didn't go with Brigham Young along with followers when he left Missouri upon JS' death? (Precisely, current mormon, followers of BY is splinter group from Original leader, JS. JS's surving family left seperatly from BY's group and carried on the religion but remain rather as a smal group.)
Ask about 'Mountain Meadow Massacre'

my mother lives a plane trip away from me, so does not get to spend very much time with zac.
however, she is in sydney for 3 weeks and has been babysitting.
i knew that she would be talking about jehovah, but was very annoyed yesterday when zac said my mother was speaking all day about jehovah, such as how he made the stars.. in the past, i was not overly concerned if zac learnt about jehovah's witnesses, as i thought it would help with critical thinking skills to understand different points of view.
You said in your letter to your Mother that you want her to act like a normal grandmother with your son. In reality, JWs, including your mother are cult members before grandmother, grandfather, husband, wife, aunt, uncle, child, etc. That's rule #1 you shoul not forget.
Your mother will seek every opportunity to 'teach Zac the truth'. She will do it behind your back no matter what. In her mind, Zac will die at Big 'A' and will do anything to save him. It is her a god given mission. I had a friend like your mother. My friend would go out of her way to baby sit her grand children and fly to her DF'ed daughter's home whenever she can. She has a mission. As much as she cherishes her time with her grandchildren but her first and foremost goal is to teach Jehovah to them.
You would want to make very clear with your mother of your wishes. Of course that doesn't mean she will by any means stop from teaching Zac about Jehovah. You just have to accept the fact that Zac has grand parents who are highly controled cult members. It's sad but frightening reality. I say 'frightening'. I am still attending JW meetings and I see with my own eyes how rapidly they are turning into bad to worse. Their meetings have turned into from Sales Meeting to Nazi Propaganda Movement with full of hatred toward outsiders. You can only imagine what is in your mother's head after been fed by all those propaganda.
I would definitely teach him what I believe if I were you, with age appropriate reasonings along with lots and lots of love . Make sure that 'You' are his hero not grandma or Jehovah. You will be the main influence to Zac.
does the wts sanction baptism of gun carrying law officers?.
does being a cop or prison guard or any other occupation requiring the carrying of a weapon.
disqualify a person from personal dedication to jehovah according to the fds?.
Good point! NVR2LB and VM44.
There's no chance for Conellius in Watchtower's eyes.
this term apostates, sure there are many that [deviate] from the [true] message.. but how can those that sit in the pews be the ones that can be called apostates if they stand up and tell it like it is?.
apostate, its just [another] of [many] labels that are used by the watchtower so as to instill fear, so that no one will question the establishment.. but, jesus and others before him rose up to tell the story how it really is, and see what happened to them, nothing has really changed, the [false] story still goes on.. but, those who have doubts, know that the watchtower is full of shit nonsense, my question is, why are you still there?
will it get you anywhere by remaining?
Thank you for further information. I didn't know the same thing going on in Hong Kong. Interesting development!

Hi Yura! I am very sorry all the pain and suffer you went thru because of the Dog's Orgarnization. I have fellow feeling for you.
Although I am going to disagree with you on how you call the borg: Dog's Orgarnization. LOL. I am a first time dog owner for about 8 months now and I tell you I have been learning more good qualities from my dogs in last 8 months than I have with the borg for 25 years. Dogs are awesome!
Last I checked, some times last year in the WT magazine, that things were supposedly going better for the borg. It sounds like that isn't the case at least as of today. Has the Borg officially been banned recently in entire Russia I understand their work had been banned in Moscow a while ago. Would you like to share any more information on that?
Congregulations on your new marriage! I wish you best as you are dealing with your failing health
