  Hi all,

  Today, I received a call from my oncologist nurse. She informed me that I will need to sign a consent form for a blood transfusion. The doctor will see me next Wednesday to go through the consent form with me.

  Because I will be having intense chemotherapy treatment and a stem cell transplant my blood counts will drop to a low level and I'll need red blood and platelet transfusions.

  I've been POMO for about 5yrs now, but I feel guilty and uneasy accepting a blood transfusion. Especially, when my parents are Pimi and my father is a elder. I fear all the consequences that have been taught all my life about accepting a blood transfusion. Diseases, destruction at Armageddon, losing my family etc.

  Does anyone have any personal experiences, advice or tips on how to overcome the guilt?

  Thanks

  I think your question was good to ask, I've wondered it myself.

  I don't believe the Jones town event will happen to JW's but I think when a lot of people eventually find out their truth was not real...There maybe a lot of suicides because they lost their hope.

  J.W.'s reliance on Matthew 24:14

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  virtually every j.w.

  will gladly tell you that matthew 24:14 proves that only they are god's true people/religion, because they are the only people preaching the good news worldwide today.

  crucially, they double-down on this lame bet by adding that their worldwide preaching proves another wtbts teaching, namely, that we are living in "the last days.

  Baptism statistics from CO

  just went to the assembly yesterday and during the final talk the circuit overseer said:.

  'sure, there are some adults baptised here and there, but do you want to know something wonderful?

  the vast majority of those getting baptized are teens and preteens!

  When kids are coerced and indoctrinated they are most likely to get baptized because they can't believe anything else without being made to feel guilty. Chilfren aim to please their parents as well, so they get baptized. Plus with threats of dying at armageddom if your not baptized is a powerful tool to scare kids.

  Sorry to hear that Reazon.

  Lol Freddo, I probably wouldn't say that but I will think it.

  Yeah it is a tough one to answer. I would say something similar along the lines of your response moreconfusedthanever.

  I just hate being told your unappreciate and you do nothing for us in return.
