Wish I could see them. It's your decision, your choice. I just hope they used sterile needles, for your sake.

psychdigg,.

i watch you post these opinions all over this forum and i have yet to see you address any real questions.

you may have a problem with bill bowen and the work he does, but you fail to provide a good enough reason why.

Well said, Justin.

he is deeply greatful to all who have helped so far.. as you are aware the wts is trying to prevent his daughter from having life saving blood transfusions during her chemo therapy.

she has leukemia.. the father has won all court battles in all alberta courts.

i sent it to kent.

the only thing that kept me going was the thought of what my suicide would do to my children for the rest of their lives.

i finally got the courage to seek help for that depression, and im fine now.. alanf and gedanken (two of my good friends) helped me out, and i am most grateful for that.

Hello Farkel,

Please allow me to add my congratulations on your successful rise from the depths of despair to you new found place of contentment and peace of mind. I have read many of your posts for the last three years or so, but had no idea that your were in such a plight (I must have been away at the time).

Please keep up the posting. Most of us thoroughly enjoy and appreciate your unique way of expressing your clear and concise thoughts.

Warm regards,

Sam Beli

Whatsthisabout said:

“… A witness will not accept whole blood. Nor will a witness accept the 4 definitive components of blood which are red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. This is because these components cannot be found anywhere else in the body, and therefore defines and constitutes blood.”

Lets hold it right there, Whats. First of all, only the WTS has identified “4 definitive compounds of blood.” Strange that the medial profession has yet to identify so clearly these “definitive compounds!" Next you say that they “cannot be found anywhere else in the body.” Tell me please, what do you think makes mother’s milk white? What do you think makes your stool dark brown? What do you think makes bile black? I could go on, but lets stop there and see where your Watchtower education takes you on these questions.

Next you said:

“Now, there are other components of blood, like water, and protein, which are not distinctly and characteristically, and EXCLUSIVELY "blood" because they are building blocks that can be found in other parts of the body. I believe the logic in this is clear.”

Of course it is clear, you are talking about PLASMA. The components of PLASMA are ALL permitted by WT dogma. So, tell me please, Whats, since all of the items that make up PLASMA are permitted by the WTS to be transfused into a JW, why is not PLASMA permitted? Do you understand what I am asking? ALL components of PLASMA are permitted. That is a fact according to JW Law. Why then can I not, as a JW in “good standing” accept PLASMA if I need it to save my life?

Next you said:

“The Power of Attorney form has checked boxes allowing the witness to choose which he or she feels is appropriate. Maybe this is old news for all yall, but with that article, it doesn't seem like it. I dont know whether a person willingly going against these standards will immediately be disfellowshipped, but if it is certain that they HAVE gone against these clear standards of whole blood and the 4 main parts, judicial action of some kind will be taken, as is proper.”

Please share with me the SCRIPTURES used to clarify these distinctions on this form so that I can understand the clear standards “of whole blood and the 4 main parts” so that I can comply with proper judicial/scriptural standards.

Improper English in the Watchtower....

by Preston in

machislop posted a quote from a watchtower on a thread that went something like this:.

"....c. t. russell was patently of that governing body back there in the last quarter of the nineteenth century.".

excuse me, but the expression "back there" makes the governing body sound like a bunch of backwood hicks.

“Run on sentences, oh give me a break! I am so sick of hearing them!

“Some people think if they talk long enough (or loud enough) that it makes them right! Just because you don't answer doesn't make you wrong either!”

Hi Sally,

I was talking about the run-on sentences in the WT. I don’t have that stuff around any longer, so I can’t give you specific examples. I recall that many of their sentences, especially in the WT itself, have long, totally irrelevant phrases within a sentence that make the text very unwieldy. One often must begin again with these long sentences to figure out what the original intent was. By the time one gets to the end, one has forgotten the original direction of the sentence.

Hope that helps.
