  Welcome, Arrakis!

  Awesome revelation....people in the world are not all that bad. LOL

  Ain't that something? I remember the moment I had that epiphany. Hang on for the ride, you'll have more of those moments.

  The WTS use of internet has dramatically changed

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since when is the so called "new light" (about the fds) published on the news-section of the officially website jw.org instead of in the study edition of the watchtower?

  the wts use of internet has dramatically changed.

  strange effect of this new "marketing" policy is that the annual meeting news at jw.org only available is for english speaking people with a computer and an internet connection.

  That is interesting. Maybe they're trying to sneak that one in, almost like a bloodless coup.

  Welcome! I also found out that the part about Jehovah providing for you is a lie. Big disappointment.

  Would YOU Have Died For The Witness Religion?

  by minimus in

  would you have not taken a blood transfusion or a transplant because the gb said it was bad?.

  would you have imitated the jws in concentration camps and died for your beliefs?.

  JW says yes to plasma and platelets, husband then says NO!

  by snare&racket in

  27 yr old female patient with ruptured ectopic pregnancy, sees the light and says yes to plasma and platelets.... she is then sedated.

  her husband then declares she cant have the plasma and platelets and doctors are forced to go to court.

  the risk of her death or permenant damage increasing by the hour.. the doctors decreed she had full capacity and right to autonomy when she relinquished her previos stand on blood.
