Captives to a Concept...great book...explains it all....Don Cameron...smart man.
If they are willing to die, kill babies etc without taking blood the answer is obvious.
this particular question or evaluation of the people who are participating jws has come up before in debate.
the more one deeply analyzes this the answer usually comes up in the affirmative yes.
when you consider the fact that jws members will abandon their own family, go as far as kill themselves under the direction of these men, it really confirms just how deep the mental and conscious indoctrination these men have gone.. .

Ah crap I need to catch up and read all the new posts!
What is so difficult about design being the result of intelligence?
Because the evidence suggests otherwise...that is why...
sigmund freud, karl marx and charles darwin are considered the pillars of modern western thought.
they differed in many ways but had one thing in commonthey were reductionists who claimed that all higher realms of existence could be explained by lower natural causes.
they were the pillars of naturalism.. but their ideas were tested during the twentieth century and found wanting.
Except for stragglers like yourself
Just WTF? Cofty is a straggler for believing in Evolution based on current known data...deary me....
imagine you or a loved one have to go onto a ventilator and are given the choice of how it should be powered.
what are people picking?.
coal or oil powered energy.
Simon, what is the point of this thread when people are dying who are high risk?
I'm green as I can be but my sister with cancer requires ventilation and I don't give a fuck how that is powered at present.
What really are you getting at? Pointless and insensitive thread.
Not impressed with your posts recently...
i haven’t posted here for years as i have now moved on and am satisfied with the choice i have made to leave watchtower.
however in light of the coronavirus and people in australia and other countries being asked to stay at home i became concerned for a witness sister who lives in melbourne alone who is 88 years old.
today i gave her a call as i don’t trust the local witnesses to care for her.
Oh I fully agree it is what I would do but its strange no? To use WT article to help a JW when we are not in?

Wait so those that have left are using a WT article to help someone still in?
There is something so right and wrong about all of this...
it lasts for 45 minutes, but the first 11 minutes are more than enough to see that something is not quite right regarding the media's information about covid 19. the video has english subtitles.

The same David Icke who claimed years ago he was the Messiah???? That guy yeah?
this whole "zoom" thing has got me wondering whether some of it is legal or not.
if a person has to dress up for a zoom meeting the way the watchtower dictates, doesn't this really go "beyond" cult?.
even the cults who committed mass suicide were able to dress the way they wanted for their meetings.
JWs are not a cult as most reasonable people interpret the word. Ex-JWs who shout "cult" too much undermine valid criticisms that they could be making.
They are a conservative christian sect. They have some high-control practices. But they are not a cult.
You are wrong Simon...definition of a cult:
a religious group, often living together, whose beliefs are considered extreme or strange by many people
JW's will die rather take a blood transfusion, they believe in very strange and extreme things and are a closed community.
A hundred percent they are a cult. Add in the hierarchy and its nailed on.
why did jehovah create the strains of corona virus ?.
is it part of the great tribulation that is closer than ever now ?.
what if lots of his people die from it ?.
They would say He didn't that it is a mutation as a result from the fall from perfection...just like the leech was not supposed to suck blood or animals tear each other to pieces...it is all as a result of the fall from grace.
You can't reason with them on subjects like this.
A flower blooming after a land decimated by a natural disaster is a sign of beauty and shows God's wonderful nature but the blood-sucking creature that lays eggs inside another animal where its young eat from inside out and kill the creature is a result of Satan and the imperfection introduced along with the unnatural effect of the environment.
