How many of you know Greg Stafford and his YouTube channel "Christian Witnesses of Jah"?
I really like his style, always calm, respectful of the Holy Scriptures and firmly based on them to analyze the teachings of the WT from which he disagrees

Tried to warn another mum
by DarleneGatus inthe thing that broke me was that i tried to warn another mum in the congregation about a brother who was inappropriate with my son, which upset me, and so i called her to talk about it since we both knew him and i had also seen him pin her daughter down on the sofa and slap the girl's bottom.
i called it inappropriate, but i never accused him of anything beyond that.. unfortunately, word got back to him and i had to go in front of 3 elders, including the brother who i felt had been inappropriate.
because they came down on me for trying to stop the behavior, and not on him for being the cause of upset, i felt very hurt and started questioning more things.

Nobody has the right to touch a child!
No one should feel free to slap a child's butt!
Shame on anyone who defends this type of behavior!

Did the Watchtower Society ban Vaccinations and Organ Transplants?
by Vanderhoven7 inan avid wts supporter writes:.
re: vaccinations: vaccinations have never been banned.
if they were, then no representative of the wts would have been allowed to travel overseas when vaccines were compulsory around 1920 when vaccines was regularly in the news, there was both positive and negative information printed in the golden age (forerunner of the awake) but not from the staff writers, but from out side sources of article by medical doctors at the time and others that responded to those articles.. re: organ transplants: organ transplants were never forbidden by the society.

the problem underlying the transplants was mainly related to the conception of the time that the heart (organ) was actually "the seat of feelings and motives", what was later called "the symbolic heart". The change of understanding is documented in our literature and took place in 1988 (dx86-22 Heart - understanding clarified (1988): it-1 1057-1058)
Until then and especially in the early years of transplant surgery the position was of a general disgust towards this kind of surgery and by extension towards any form of organ transplantation.
w71 3/1 pp. 133-139 How Is Your Heart?5 Where and what is your heart? You may say, What heart are you talking about? You know you have a heart in your chest, one that is pumping blood throughout your entire body, serving every single cell with that stream of life. But do you have another “heart” in your head, a “figurative heart”? Is it part of your brain or is it that abstract capacity of the brain that we call the “mind”? No! The brain, in which the mind resides, is one thing and the heart in our thorax, with its power of motivation, is another thing.
g70 10/22 pp. 29-31 Watching the World
Personality Change
◆ According to a report that appeared on United Press International of August 18, 1970, the daughter of Philip Blaiberg said that he had experienced a complete personality change after undergoing a heart-transplant operation. Blaiberg was one of the first to receive a transplanted heart. His daughter observed: “I don’t know if it was the drugs or just the transplant, but he was a different man.”

There may not be a quote that states a d/f penalty but it was well understood
This is because the same story always comes out: the WT often and willingly loves to behave and pronounce itself in an ambiguous way, so that one day it can always say: "We never said it, some had understood ..."
Think about it: organ transplants, 1975, vaccinations, relationships with disfellowshipped family members, the same tactic every time

Smoking gun GB can’t get out of this one
by Mikejw inhere in 2022 if anyone says anything against the vaccines even a little bit you are almost apostate.. someone once mentioned all vaccinated sports stars collapsing and someone else said not to speak badly about the gb or by extension jehovah.. the gb can’t get out of this one, it’s gone too far.
it’s now the case that if you speak against the vaccines you are speaking against the gb and by extension jehovah .

This terse, high quality piece from Dr Sasha Latypova complements her two previous deep dives into the regulatory dossiers for the c19 injections from Pfizer & Moderna.
This one focuses on impacts on existing pregnancies.
It’s dreadful.I’m not surprised.
Best wishes

g72 7/8 pp. 27-28 “Keep Abstaining from . . . Blood”And here again, it might be noted, that the stand of the Christian witnesses of Jehovah—that such transplants are in effect a form of cannibalism—proved a safeguard.

faithful and discreet slave appointed in 1919?
by enoughisenough in12 when did jesus appoint the faithful slave over his domestics?
to answer that, we need to go back to 1914—the beginning of the harvest season.
as we learned earlier, at that time many groups claimed to be christian.

if in a future time they were to review and scrap 1914 the date of 1919 and the related teaching would automatically fall as a domino
