It ended up that god didn't really care for the people first pictured, so he had them replaced by someone he liked better (probably because they got more service hours than the first losers).

Rules on blood also apply to our pets
by Splash inwhile 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.".

WT has also taken the same idiotic stance on what kinds of pets a JW owns. If you have piranhas, for example, which feed on live fish, the JW becomes 'bloodguilty' for having piranhas, because they feed them live fish.
If the whole process offends Jehovah™ so much, why did he make it that way?
.
Hey, Splash: this 1964 article shows that WT's blood policies also applies to plants:
"But now, what about fertilizer that has blood in it? One who is going to show respect for God’s law on blood would not use it."

Being a Witness results in selfish and self centered people!
by stuckinarut2 ini have noticed that many witnesses are very self centered and selfish people as a result of "leaving everything in god's hands to correct".
what i mean is, because "the kingdom will fix poverty, the homeless, poor, underpriveleged, etc...." it means they can just pass by those in need, or fulfill their natural human desire to help (if they have it) by just giving literature!.
so, just preach to those in need, and then you can feel good and smug about yourself!.

So in the parable of the "Good Samaritan", why didn't Jesus describe the Samaritan as just walking past the Jew without helping him and "leave it in god's hands"?
I wonder if the rNWT says that the Samaritan simply handed the Jew a magazine and kept walking?

According to their official website, Jehovah’s Witnesses believe, based on the Bible, that blood removed from the body should be thrown away.
And yet magically JWs do use fractions.....that come from stored blood...that "should have been thrown away".
.
The patient said complying with the Jehovah’s Witness doctrine was more important than her life
Note: following the Bible is not "more important than her life", it's following JW doctrine.

w73 7/15 p. 447 Questions From Readers Watchtower
Alleged Questions from Readers but really from very bored men in the Writing Department
When did God create unicorns and fairies, and when did they become extinct? — U.S.A.
The Bible does not provide specific answers to this question but we will offer our uneducated opinion as truth from god. According to the Genesis account, unicorns and fairies were created during the fifth and sixth creative periods or ‘days’/120 and 144 hours respectively. If the Hebrew expression translated "great horned horsies and fairies" [Hebrew, horsey hornicus and fairicus dusticus ] includes unicorns and fairies , which often inhabited swampy, watery areas or bird houses, this would mean that unicorns and fairies were created on the fifth "day"/120 hours after the creation of everything else. (Gen. 1:21) We do not know but we will speculate anyway whether they continued to exist until man was created (toward the close of the sixth "day"/144 hours after the creation of everything else). At the very latest it seems likely ("evidently") that they must have disappeared off the earth at the time of the flood of Russell Crowe’s day. unicorns are great swimmers and fairies can fly, and some kinds of unicorns bear strong resemblance structurally and otherwise to waterhorses (horsey speedo-icus is, in fact, the Greek word for "horse in ridiculously small swimwear"; bulgicus junkis disgustingcus in Leviticus 11:29, LXX). Not all types of unicorns or fairies were of such gigantic size. Some fairies are the size of house flies. Hence, even if they had survived till Russell Crowe, this would not have required taking pairs of the mammoth varieties into the ark, as the ark was already full to capacity with kangaroos. Other smaller members of the particular family or "kind" to which these belonged would have sufficed to tell the ridiculous story of Bronze Age goat herders. — Gen. 6:19, 20; 7:14.
Some of the older translations (inferior to the NWT Revised NWT) of the Bible at times use the word "dragons" to translate the Hebrew tan·ni·nim
′ ("sea monsters," NW). (Ps. 74:13; 148:7; Isa. 27:1, Authorized Version) The term "dragon" (Greek, dra ′ kon ) is found in the Christian Greek Scriptures. It has been suggested as possible that, rather than having a purely mythical source, this expression may originally have been applied to enormous creatures such as really big, really scary real dragons, taking on mythical tones only after these mammoth creatures had long disappeared after being killed by Lancelot. Interestingly, many of the mythical depictions of the "dragon" strongly resemble certain types within the family of huge reptilian creatures in Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" movie that includes the dinosaur and some pumped up unicorns on steroids".

And let's not overlook the inevitable exercise/health/homosexuality connection:
.
*** yp2 chap. 28 p. 233 How Can I Avoid Homosexuality? ***
Shun pornography and gay propaganda. (Colossians 3:5) Avoid anything that will arouse immoral desires. This would include pornography, certain TV shows and movies, and perhaps even fashion or bodybuilding magazines that feature lightly clad models. Change negative thoughts to positive ones. “Whenever I have homosexual urges,” says one teenage boy, “I meditate on my favorite Bible text.”
