  while visiting someone at the local hospital i saw this leaflet " will i need a blood transfusion ?

  - patient information" .

  now i was raised in the belief that doctors are transfusion-happy and just give you one willy nilly if they operate , further that a trans.

  The NHS site https://www.shotuk.org (Serious Hazards Of Transfusion) once cited various references to failings in blood management and the subsequent consequences.

  By law, U.K. hospital staff must now record every occasion when an instance of I.B.C.T. (incorrect blood component transfused) occurs. Unfortunately, such mistakes happen far more frequently than they should. (human error)

  Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI) is very often fatal. (only 5ml of IBCT can result in TRALI)

  If the professionals have serious concerns about blood.........................

  Jehovah (As Taught By JWs) Offers A Bum Deal

  i thought this during my wake up.

  if you think about it, jehovahs promise for the faithful is actually a bum deal.

  some would even say a con.

  Jehovahs - to be more exact, the org's promise (and requirements) for the faithful. Corporate diktats.

  Much of what the org tells the faithful is not based on scriptures anyway.

  hello,i found this on the jw site.https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/go-to-heaven/it says:"jesus said: "no man has ascended into heaven.

  (john 3:13) he thus showedthat good people who died before him, such as abraham, moses, job, and david,did not go to heaven.

  (acts 2:29, 34).

  Aren't there scriptures which say the righteous will inherit the earth, and live forever upon it?

  No heaven for the righteous, then.

  Next time someone asks you that question, just nod and say, "It's got to come some time, but the Bible says that even Jesus didn't know when the end would be. Didn't he give us the principle at Luke 14:28 that we should be prepared in life? Shouldn't I apply that and prepare for my life? I don't want to live off other people like some do."

  Take it easy and keep learning. You've got your thinking skills developing.

  Is there anything good JWs taught you still benefit from?

  some years ago, i attended a jw wedding.

  marriage speaker said something which changed my life for the better, and it helps me even now.

  he told the couple: “the very make up of man and woman is such that conflicts can often arise between you.

  Thanks to the treatment and seriously bad attitudes of some elders, (individually & collectively) I began to examine and research the org and its teachings. Pandora's box then opened up for me. I'm truly grateful.

  I seem to remember the org and J.W.'s pointing an accusing finger at "Christendom" for charging money for the use of their churches for christenings, weddings, & funerals.

  Welcome to the club, WTBTS.

  Looks like the cult is climbing on the bandwagon by charging congregations for "special events" now.

  Wherever J.W.'s buttocks settle, there's money to made.

  just wanted to say a big hello to everyone, my first post on here was actually yesterday but it was deleted.. so will keep this one short to save my precious time just in case its also deleted or lost.. got fed up with years of persecution from within the congregations.

  the lack of genuine friendship & lack of 'christian love'.

  having personally seen many a scandalous behaviour i began doing some research online some years ago.

  Welcome London Underground. Look forward to hearing your stories.

  Mill Hill "underground" is nice - because it's above the ground and in the fresh air.

  The elders in Hull who are mentioned in the YouTube video, don't seem to be aware of the warning which Jesus issued to such self-righteous hypocrites;

  (Matthew 6:15) ".....whereas if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."

  a friend of mine has contacts to a family with several circuit overseers and special pioneers.

  they have good connections to bethel.. he told me that the latest rumor from bethel states that the cos should be abolished in their present form.

  they have also recently begun to take cos back to bethel.. over the same channel i have already heard of the car fleet program and that the dos should be abolished.. has anyone else already heard of it?

  What is the expense of an CO for the org? ZERO!

  The publishers pay for everything - cars, accommodation, living expenses, allowance.
  

  But it's money which the org would rather keep for itself.
