  Ain't you never seen Reefer Madness? The stuff now isn't your daddies pot thanks to the lack of research and reasonable attitudes.

  The HLC do not pressure JWs

  by usualusername1 in

  the hospital liaison committee (hlc) for jehovah’s witnesses does not pressure members to refuse blood transfusions.

  rather, their role is to support jehovah’s witnesses in adhering to their pre-existing religious beliefs, which include a strict prohibition against accepting blood transfusions based on their interpretation of biblical scriptures.. jehovah’s witnesses are well-informed about their stance on blood from an early age, and refusing blood is a deeply ingrained religious conviction, not something imposed during a medical crisis.

  the hlc’s purpose is to provide assistance in accessing bloodless treatment options, facilitating communication with healthcare providers, and helping ensure that the patient’s choices are respected.. while the hlc strongly supports adherence to the beliefs of jehovah’s witnesses, the ultimate decision remains with the individual.

  Wife had emergency surgery in midnight. Lical elder told me I should have called to make sure the blood stand was adhered to. I already knew my wife's stand and needed no help.

  Now they say to contact HLC ahead of time to find right doctor and hospital. This is more like starting a fight that never existed

  What if JWs voted in elections?

  all this political banter is exhausting, so i want to ask a question that has probably been asked before, so here it goes….

  let’s try to keep this non-partisan - just give your opinion and why you think that way.. i’ll go first.

  i think jws would generally lean to the right, but not by a whole lot.

  Do you recognize this?

  thinking sometimes about my youth days and the stories my grandfather told me about our jw congregation.

  do you recognize that your congregation was full of somehowe strange folks, very low educated, poor and simple?.

  the po was an elder with some distance, with some personality acting intelligent and following the rules strict.. there was always a kind of scandal.

  NO! Now the only converts are oddball. Narcissist, poor, grifters, not even home schooled education. Born ins are not staying.

  There are a few born leaders in but most are pretending. The last good elders here died.

  If you question timeliness they trot out the jehovah wants more people to destroy so is waiting. Or proof of something by reading a scripture of an event 2 or 3 thousand years ago.

  AWAKE MAGAZIBE'S SURPRISING NEW DIRECTION

  so there was a time the awake magazine was printed every 15 days but now since jehovah is blessing them so much the magazine is printed once a year, and here you have the 1st edition for the year , which is nothing more than an informatial of how good of a charity they are to their local community.

  so we read in the following box: what we are doing firstly, jehovah’s witnesses promote a balanced, healthy lifestyle.

  Where is Tony?

  by Athanasius in

  2. friends

  on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

  a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.

  in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

  Almost all I know lean dem. Big believers in the dole, gun control, reverse racism(equity), soft on crime, belief that money (other people's only) equates wickedness. Fully believe in the green stuff despite the evidence of the costs and constant climate change is all mans doing. They believe migrants all come through the turnstile. They look at a benevolent talking person ignoring her history (horizontal harris) and cannot look past the jerk personality of trump-he is not alone in his philandering

  If you go to the congregation where a friend lives there are more educated upper middle class who covertly support guns for defense, personal responsibility. So maybe more conservative.

  Abortion is not mentioned. This is a pro abortion(past pro choice) state.

  I am middle right

  apparently, the downsizing is still happening and from what i read those let go are over 50!.

  sad because these people expected to be lifers.

  now they have to make their way in the world at an advanced age with no education or desirable skill!..
