Why start preaching work in 1876? Something to ask JW's who are still in
by fedup inwe learn from the bible that the characters that preached doomsday messages, such as lot, noah, etc all got to see the result of the message they preached, we studied that the final judgement from god was seen by the preacher as well as the people that heard and ignored the message.
my point is this, it would have been ridiculous for noah to start preaching to people, put the fear of god in all the listeners that the flood is coming, build the ark and then as a result, nothing happens to them.
even if the flood would have happened later, let's say 50 years after noah and all the people that heard him have died from natural causes.

I ask an elder in field service one day that a house holder said we have cried wolf for so many decades how can we be believed. Then I thought even a broken clock is right twice a day. Just because they seem right twice a century does mean their clock is working.

By Way of Announcement, Darlene Jefferson Has Been Disfellowshiped
by Cold Steel ini was watching a jw video where the announcement was made of a young lady's being disfellowshiped, and it happened in a regular kh sunday meeting.
this struck me as being a bit...cold.
is this when the shunning begins?

It's usually announced mid week meeting, yes shunning begins that day, the ones who show up for announcement believe this shows repentance for quicker return. I just can't get my head around how WT headquarters equates this embarrassment to love. WT needs to be sued for non compliance of freedom of religion.

I think some JW may have pissed old Lewis Edwards off. Stellar performance on his part. Seems an accurate description of cult.

JW women true value
by Chook inwhen they sent out internal letter to elders regarding the binding of elders book , worldly men could do the job but only under supervision of a elder.
but under no circumstance could a sister touch the book.
the idiots put it in print, any elders wives on this forum should take it up with their man.

WT has put the value of their dear sisters below a pagan binder.

Memorial Services
by penny2 inall jw memorial services i've been to have been similar.
a couple of sentences about the deceased and then it's all about the religion.
very impersonal and scripted.

To hijack a funeral and preach Brooklyn dogma is a unforgivable crime, the poor person who has died is entitled to a decent goodbye.

Update: Got my Judicial Committee cancelled
by Sanchy inoriginal thread here.
update: so, after the meeting i had with elders a few weeks ago as outlined in my original thread, they met as a body and once again called to tell me that after considering my case they still thought a judicial committee should be held against me and asked to be there "thursday at 7:30".
all of this, i remind you, because of posting coc on facebook.

Sanchy, I'm happy for you but I suspect it will only be a postponement . Avoid the zealots at all cost.

JW remark about blood transfusion
by Gorbatchov inrecent i had a conversation with an old jw friend.
he told me his mother rejected a blood transfusion in a critical fase, and survived it, and of course it's good to hear that she makes it good now.. what me triggered, was a remark he made about what the elder of the hospital committee told him.. this elder praised the mother of my old friend because of rejecting the transfusion.
the elder told them that most jehovah's witness in the netherlands take a blood transfusion when their life is at stake.

The are cemeteries full of strict adherence JWs. We had a JW elders wife get special cutting edge blood faction that was made from cows blood ,an army developed product flown into Australia. This JW woman blood count was under 2, she lived. The irony is animal blood to the rescue. The only reason they saved her was connections,her husband is hospital liaison . You will never see in JW publications reasoning that Jah allowed soldiers to disregard blood law and eat unbled animals in an emergency or that Christ said life was more important law, in the example of sheep in well.
