  Medical doctor describes a JW death from noblood

  by OrphanCrow in

  1. watchtower

  most people will consider the noblood doctrine as being something that affects only the jws involved and they rarely consider the medical professionals who have to deal with them and the tremendous emotional and mental toll the medical professionals are forced to deal with when confronting senseless death.. the following is an excerpt from a medical doctor's blog: .

  i do not worry much about being dead although the process of getting there gives me pause.

  i have witnessed a few unpleasant deaths and i hope to never see the grim reaper coming my way.. one of the more awful and pointless deaths occurred early in my career.

  any idea what could have happened to song 151?

  what logical reason could they have had to skip a number.

  is the number 151 now an evil number accordig to new light?

  Actually it has been converted to a cheesy ring-tone that all faithful JW's must install on their phones. I think it comes included with the org app package. I say this because my wife just got a new phone and I keep hearing that 'happy-paradise' piano riff that has that unmistakeable kingdom-melody buzz.

  We had a sister who used to draw in a Manhattan skyline in the 'paradise' pictures. She could not imagine life without NYC.

  Thanks for the reminder. I actually lived in Centreville for a year but that was way before I became a witness. Oh the memories... Lived with some friends that were going to George Mason U. Not sure they call it that anymore. Stay well.

  I lived in Alexandria and then later in Loundoun County for a bit many years ago. But that was last century, so if you are under 40, I may have met your parents.

  AWAKE! NO. 5 2016 - THE IRONY IS AMAZING

  i thought it was funny seeing this in the latest awake in the article about aristotle.. i am sure there are greater ironies in wt literature - but at the moment i can't think of one.. "the read to much into the bible" wow!.

  It is also rather funny that they use quotes from the book of Job. Most bible scholars acknowledge that Job was not a product of Jewish/Israelite authorship but came from 'somewhere' else. In other words, their best proof of the scienticity of the bible comes from a book written by pagans.

  JW Cart Witnessing = ONE BIG JOKE

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  was talking to a good buddy of mine a couple days ago (we pioneered and were in bethel together and have both left the cult a few years ago), about the current cart and d. and the consensus was that it is now a complete joke.

  was watching a couple witnesses last week sit at a table with their literature display.

  no approaching people for conversation, no initiating stimulating dialogue with passerbys, as was encouraged when i "pioneered" back in the day.

  @James: I think the main qualification for sitting and doing nothing is that you have to be 'apostate-proof'. Just in case someone like Cofty approaches and starts asking questions.

  Welcome Sevan.If you want to be completely honest, you have to be willing to consider that everything you ever believed in was wrong, and go from there. You might be suprised where it leads you. You have time, take the plunge...

  three major characters in jw movies named ethan in 2012, 2014 & now 2016.. coincidence, lack of imagination, or something more?.

  Good catch. Was the character portrayed 'bad' or 'good'? If a mix, probably just a name someone on the writing team likes.
