  Rules on blood also apply to our pets

  by Splash in

  2. beliefs

  while researching something else, i came across these two comments from a wt on how we should view the blood issue, when it comes to our pets.. *** w64 2/15 p. 127 questions from readers ***.

  "would it be a violation of the scriptures for a christian to permit a veterinarian to give blood transfusions to a pet?

  by all means, to do so would be a violation of the scriptures.".

  Maybe pets should be disfellowshipped for having sex outside of marriage too.

  Also your dog should be disfellowshipped for fetching 'apostate material' that you have thrown away.

  The comment section is blowing up nicely :-) TTATT one comment at a time. I kind of want there to be some blowback from the Watchtower that gets mentioned in the gossip media TMZ style sites etc. That could be some TTATT at a viral level.

  Time for ANOTHER local needs part on donations. The last one was around 2 months ago. It's been a sharp drop, the usual case is that the amounts increase after local needs parts, slowly trickle down over the course of 5-6 months, and then back up again after ANOTHER local needs part.

  Possible announcement in October....

  pure speculation for several reasons.. "friends, it has been 100 momentous years since christ arrived as king.

  in the last 100 years a great shout of praise has gone up to jehovah.

  technology has greatly changed the way people live and communicate and jehovah has made sure that his organization is on the forefront of these changes.

  *Anthony Morris the Turd enters stage left*

  Warm love and greetings from the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. One hundred years ago Christ Jesus began his invisible rule in the heavens. Since then Jehovah's chariot has been gathering more momentum each day. We now live in the age of the internet, and it has become one of the prime sources by which many people now read, and by which some Witnesses now spread the Good News of the Kingdom.

  In light of these developments the Governing Body saw it fit to make the following changes.

  The Governing Body has come to the decision that hours spent engaging in the preaching work online may now be included on your field service report (5 GB 4:15). This includes sharing emails, making posts on social media, and responding to posts. Each publisher may add an additional 10 minutes for each Like or Re-tweet since viral posts will give a longer witness to unlookers.

  *mindless applause*

  Jehovah's Witnesses are now permitted to have their own blog at jw.org in the format jw.org/country/congregation name/username. This account will serve to contain content you have selected from JW.org, which you may share with interested ones. Elders and ministerial servants will be assigned to monitor these pages to make sure that they contain information in line with our teachings. Please note that comments are disabled for these pages so as not to detract from the vital life saving information.

  Since the world is now relying more and more on the internet we have decided to consolidate the Watchtower and Awake into a montly track entitled "Visit JW.org"!

  *mindless applause*

  Clearly, the internet is a wonderful tool which Jehovah is indeed blessing so as to make sure that the Good News of the Kingdom is spread throughout the entire inhabited earth in this time of the end! Brothers, we have to be mindfull of the fact that someone else is using the internet to do evil. Who is that? Satan the Devil!

  *slight crowd murmer* *brothers in the audience nod mindlessly*

  We have to constantly be on guard against pornography, violence, and apostacy among other things! With this in mind the Faithful Slave has made available a new software program for desktops and mobile devices: JW Guard!!!

  *THUNDEROUS applause* *cheering* *20 seconds elapse* *brothers break out in tears, whisper about how wonderful it all is*

  JW Guard will monitor traffic on your devices and block out pornography, violent content, apostate propaganda among other things. The best part is that it automatically updates each week to make sure that you are protected from the latest attempts by Satan to lead you astray on the internet!!!. Brothers who search for flagged terms more than once a month will be automatically reported to your local elders via email, and lovingly be sheperded to bring them back in line. Are we not reaping the blessings of 100 years of Kingdom rule????

  Heads Up: If you are an older JW, WT has no further use for you!

  by AndDontCallMeShirley in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  wt is retiring district overseers, has sent older jws serving at bethel packing despite years of faithful service, and as of june 1, 2014, has announced that any elder that has reached 80 years of age is no longer valued or wanted as a cobe.

  in wt land it would appear that older people have little or no value, and wt sees no reason to use them in any meaningful capacity.

  i wonder how this makes older ones feel after devoting their lives to wt's interests while shelving their own hopes and dreams?.

  Who Will Be The Next Governing Body Member To Defect Like Raymond Franz? I Think Samuel Herd Might Be A Prospect.

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  not really, it could anyone of those guys who shows a sign of humaness/compassion and regret and go on exposing them all to the media worse than ray franz ever could have.

  yes i know this may be wishful thinking/computing on my part but i feel it is a harmless indugence or may be it is just my deep unconscious foretelling a likely scenerio.. and it is good to create a distrust among these guys each one trying to beat the other to jump ship because thier unconscious is giving them fits to get the hell out when the getting is good.

  maybe even report their fellow gbs to the authorities to be granted clemency or something.

  My vote is with a Samuel Herd / Mark Sanderson ticket Vote Herd-Sanderson 2016!

  Samuel Herd seems like a hubris filled sack of pus held captive to the Watchtower concept.

  1. You have to admit that he seems a bit quick witted though, so maybe he has / could figure out that it's all a money making scheme.

  2. He being THE minority could be a factor in stiring his outlook a bit, especially in light of perceived racism, and Watchtower's history of racism. We just have to wait and see.

  Mark Sanderson too seems to have the Watchtower doctrine stick waaaaay up his ass (no lube ).

  1. Remember that Marky boy is YOUNG though. Being exposed to the inner workings of the Governing Body could set off light bulbs in his mind if he depending on the kind of person he is / conscience.

  2. He comes off as a yes man and showpeice to me. He gave a talk at my convention last year (in Jamaica) and it was nothing special, save his different accent and droves of dumb JWs flocking over to worship him and take photos with him. He doesn't seem that sharp in the brain.

  Whatever happens IF it happens will be harder to control in our time thanks to high speed mobile internet, social media, and the damn Governing Body making video appearances on large screens at every chance. The fallout would be catastrophic even if a member defects and doesn't say anything to the media.

  The response would probably be like this:

  1. Letters sent to elders informing them that "one of our own has apostatised" - Letter to be kept confidential and discarded promptly, congregation is not to be informed of the details.

  2. A special talk prepared by the GB to be delivered by the coordinator of the body of elders...screw that, they will likely want an emergency assembly planned where the GB themselves will deliver talks on apostasy, and it being a sign that the end is so close.

  3. A mixed bag of crazy instructions that JWs should obey "whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not". Disconnect your internet / limit use, don't speak to doubters, report ANY signs of doubt, do more service, do not speak to disfellowshipped ones unless it's to invite them back since the end is so damn close now! Stock up on food and water, stop watching the news since the media will be telling lies about us
