  One step closer to a possible JW blood transfusion solution

  by sir82 in

  2. medical

  see the article here:.

  http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2014/04/18/the_wellcome_trust_is_funding_research_to_make_human_blood_from_stem_cells.html.

  blood could become much less scarce if a british research group succeeds in bringing a version made from stem cells to human trials, and eventually to market.

  I am confused when I see comments about how this could solve the Watchtower's blood "problem". I don't think they have a blood problem. They have a convoluted policy on the medical use of blood, and it makes headlines once in a while, and some JWs have lost their lives trying to obey their misguided rules. Do you really think anyone running this org loses any sleep over this? Do you see any evidence that rank and file JWs are unhappy about the blood issue? Is there going to be some kind of mass uprising or schism due to the blood policy??? I seriously doubt it.

  [w14 02/15] The "Photodrama of Creation" centenary article

  by ZionsWatchTower in

  2. bible

  a recent article in the watchtower, february 15, 2014 addresses the centenary of the photo-drama of creation.

  then comment it on this 'remarkable work', but it will never be displayed by the watchtower again .... _______________________________.

  the 1890s introduced silent motion pictures to the public.

  Just to be clear, the Watchtower Society, for all their faults, never claimed that MEPS translated publications from one language to another. It's a typesetting system, that's all. They were very clear on that, unfortunately the average dub is not all that computer savvy.

  I was telling a friend of mine (he is not a JW, never has been) about all the rumors. He came up with this list of possible announcements:

  1. There are a few more seats opening up in Heaven so stay with us.

  2. We know we keep missing the end of the world dates, but those were just math errors (carrying the 1 etc)

  3. Maybe we should wear funny costumes and tell jokes when we do door to door.

  4. Do we really believe Prince and the Jacksons follow the same rules are we do?

  5. We should change our name because young kids associate ‘witness’ with ‘sniches’ and sniches are biches.

  For a non-JW I thought he did a good job!

  remember the guys that started the shit storm with the deaf sign language video?

  the multiple funny versions at youtube?.

  this time they are mocking the tract (the guy that started this isn't even a ex-jw, but they are pretty good at taking down cults!).

  Penn State pays for covering up Sandusky crimes, BIG TIME

  by talesin in

  1. social
  2. current

  this sends a clear message to other universities who may be harboring child molesters.. excerpt:.

  the sanctions by the governing body of college sports, which capped eight months of turmoil on the central pennsylvania campus, stopped short of delivering the "death penalty" of shutting down the sport.

  but the ncaa hit penn state with $60 million in fines, ordered it out of the postseason for four years, and will cap scholarships at 20 below the normal limit for four years.. other sanctions five years' probation, and the ncaa also said that any current or incoming football players are free to immediately transfer and compete at another school.. ncaa president mark emmert announced the staggering sanctions at a news conference in indianapolis.

  Those who covered up this crime -- ie, the higher-ups, should have been punished to the full extent of the law.

  They most likely will be. This article is only about sanctions from the NCAA, I think the criminal investigation is still ongoing. There will be more fallout from this...

  Some were led to believe....

  Who were these some? And who or what led them to believe that? Did they just come up with idea on their own? Were they counselled or reproved for believing this?

  Aside from WT’s NY Dumpsite, what about KH remodels???

  by Alfred in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  the illegal dump site in upstate ny has received quite a lot of attention lately (as well it should)... .

  however, having been involved in several kh remodels, i think the wts little regard for the environment extends way beyond this dumpsite.

  as some of you probably know, the workday at a kh remodel usually starts with a prayer, breakfast and a 5 minute safety talk... the safety talk was a joke (e.g.

  I don't see anything new or out of the ordinary here. This is standard JW doctrine from the last 60 years or so. It may not always be laid out as clearly. For instance, most JWs do not realize that as part of the "great crowd", Jesus is not their mediator. Yet according to the Watchtower, he is not, and they have stated as much consistently over the years.
