So, even if modern science and the Genesis account have some things (though not all) that could be construed as consistent with one another, what does that prove? Where is your argument going with this?

They really don't understand cause and effect, now do they?
Make it harder and you'll have fewer servants.

Great video. I had never heard of Baggy Trousers, but I went ahead and watched Our House on YouTube as well. I loved that song in the '80s.
We never had cable TV when I was a kid so never saw the video. I never quite realized how fetching Mum was...

I always like when the news features some kind of disaster and then they focus on one person who "miraculously" survives. Then this person claims that "God saved me!" or somesuch.
You've got to wonder, where was God when the tornado or house fire happened in the first place?

by freddo inusually by this time in the year we are getting km's through telling jw's what to wear, where to eat, where to sleep, how much to tip (and not to take all the breakfast food to the assembly as your packed lunch) and how to get to their summer conventions - nothing coming through here in good old england - how about where you are?.

Blood, the US Army, the US Navy and the Watchtower Society
by OrphanCrow inthe watchtower society blood doctrine is intricately linked to clinical trials in blood technology.
the wts deliberately changes and manipulates the blood doctrine in order to fill the requirements for medical testing in the field of blood technology.
it has been happening since the start of the blood ban and has continued for the last 70 years, leaving untold numbers of dead and maimed jws in the wake of the societys quest for everlasting life here on earth.. .

Is there anyone on this site that has been a member of the HLC and can give more information about the level of consent? Or would they even know?

Guilt, Regret or Denial
by game1914over inin your time of being a witness, have you witnessed a jw experience death of a loved one due to refusal of a blood transfusion?
i know this is an extremely sensitive subject and can reopen deep emotional wounds.
if you're willing to share, i am interested.

I had dated a guy (JW) in the early '90s who was in a terrible car crash, and when I went to the hospital, the HLC were hovering in the waiting room like a bunch of vultures. I got the feeling they were there to enforce the no blood policy rather than provide support.
He survived, life went on and we went our separate ways. Two years later I got a phone call that he had been in another car accident but this time had passed away after refusing a blood transfusion. It was really upsetting. To this day, people will say that he died from a car accident rather than from lack of a blood transfusion. Cognitive dissonance at its finest.

new neighbors
by Theredeemer inso, my wife and i purchased a house about a month ago and recently we met our new neighbors.
they are an older couple.
they are very nice and even brought us cookies.. in conversation they brought up that they were mormons and mentioned how much they loved it.

The same thing happened to me when I moved into my current house years ago. The neighbors were mormons. They were extremely nice people and we still keep in touch with them after they moved away.
When we first moved in, we were overwhelmed with home improvements, so they sent the missionaries to us because they need so much community service time we were informed. A couple of nice kids came over and really did help us out. The missionaries also preached a little, but they mostly just enjoyed being able to be normal kids who could listen to the radio at our house (they're not allowed to on their own) and eat a home cooked meal.
Just enjoy your neighbors if they are really nice people. We still visit with our former neighbors at their new home. We just have to grit our teeth at the constant background noise of Fox news! But, people are people and I feel badly for them because they are stuck in a cult just like we were. Look at ex-mormon websites and you'll see lots of similarities.
