  Salvation depends on obedience to the governing body. They sing songs about it.

  How about the baptism question? Should we dismiss that entirely?

  Sorry, no quotes... got nothing but 30 years of JW indoctrination.

  You don’t believe they have said it’s vital to maintain in the borg?

  How about... they have said numerous times that the Organisation and the Governing body are essential for a JWs salvation.

  Your turn.

  They do NOT teach that salvation comes through the governing body
  

  I think a solid case could be made otherwise.

  They teach and promote morality and honesty. I think those are good things, don't you?
  

  The morality and honesty promoted by the WT is perverse.

  It’s thinly veiled and based on appearance, the motivating force is fear and judgment. I can’t give any credit. I could have got better morals as a child from watching tv episodes of ‘Neighbours’.

  I’ve worked with JWs, legitimate business. Some are good, some can’t be trusted.

  What’s most important about being a good JW is ticking a few boxes.

  Dress nice, go to the meetings, and preaching (rarely reported honestly.) Outside of this, your morality matters little.

  Fuck, their own elers manual says it. You can have had prostitutes and cocaine addiction, as long as you have maintained the appearance of morality, you needn’t worry.

  Myriads and Myriads of Angels ... What Do They Do?

  by RubaDub in

  i never understood this in my entire life in the borg.. who knows how many angels there are, millions, billions?.

  an angel protected rahab when the walls of jericho fell.

  then one angel killed 24,000 one night.. yet there seems to be this paranoia in the borg like the bunker video and the field video where jw's are under attack and apparently alone or at least it appears alone.. can't a few angels be put on overtime and protect the brothers from the potential "authorities" that wish to harm or eliminate them?.

  In regards to the blood, it would be hard to know figures. I know of 2 JWs who faced emergency medical treatment, both took the blood required.

  I doubt there is anything in the JW lifestyle that makes it less likely they’ll require blood. For example in Australia the JWs love riding dirt bikes as much as the general population, accidents are common.

  Also in Australia, you can’t refuse blood on behalf of your minor child, the child will always get blood if the doctors say the child needs it.

  Jesus is the mediator for the anointed, who are limited to exactly 144000. According to the WT the New Testament is primarily for them.

  Everyone else, aka the great crowd of scum needs to grovel before the governing body . The bible is not actually for them, nor is Jesus their mediator.

  They rarely print this but it’s basically what they teach.

  Only my mothers side of the family has the JW virus, my fathers side does not. The family without the JW side are much closer. My JW family discard many individuals, even their children, for life. I can honestly say that making friends in the world I immediately noticed stronger family connections. That’s not to say everythings perfect, but relationships are much healthier.

  They also tend to be fairly clean living and law abiding so it's swings and roundabouts
  

  That’s debatable. All things being equal, I don’t see the JW religion doing anything but harm.
