IF the org is truly fat with money then:

$1 billion - $66 million equals $944 million left.

BUT, if the org is NOT truly fat with money... ha ha suckers!

"Give the Watchtower yet another black eye". I love that. Perhaps the victims will get something out of this, I hope they do.

Going Through A Box Of Old Photo's. Found This...

by pale.emperor in

jw wedding early 1980s and where they are now.... .

LevelThePlayingField

According to the photo, 10 people woke up. That's great. If that's any indication about witnesses in general, then many are and will be waking up.

Let's talk about Blood again....

by stuckinarut2 in

i know we have all talked about this topic before, but for some new ones on the forum, or to refresh ourselves, i wanted to start this thread.. the society likes to go on about the sacredness of blood, and how it should not be transfused etc.. they liken it to a symbol of life itself.

something that should be respected and therefore not transfused.. but, what is more important: real life, or a symbol of life?.

an illustration came to mind.. if we give a bunch of flowers to a loved one as a symbol of our love for them, are those flowers more important than the love itself?

LevelThePlayingField

I am completely convinced that if a WT article came out tomorrow saying, that it's now ok to accept blood transfusions if a person's conscience allows it, then 99% of all witnesses would do so. No doubt about it.

Same thing about blood fractions. While you were still in, how many DPA's did you come across that said NO to everything? I only know of one. And she was 80 years old at the time.

Watch out where you tread

by LevelThePlayingField in

i remember like it was yesterday.

my dad pounding his fist on the kitchen table and gritting his teeth as he tells me to get out!

he kicked me out of his house.

I remember like it was yesterday. My Dad pounding his fist on the kitchen table and gritting his teeth as he tells me to Get out! He kicked me out of his house. I had just moved out as a young 21 year old. As the door swung shut hard with a slam, I remember the smug feeling inside. I was "witnessing to him" and he didn't like it. I was trying to slam the "truth" down his throat. I smirked, literally as I walked out of the garage toward the street where my car was. I thought that this was persecution. Surely I had nailed it on the head now. I am being persecuted I thought. But now, 30 years later, awake to TTATT, I realize that I just been breaking up my family. And I was the cause of it all.

It's too late now. Way too late. My Dad's dead now. I can't reconcile that.

So what's my message behind this post? If I could only tell everyone who is truly in deep with this religion, to watch out what you do. You may end up terminating the very family you love, all for persecution's sake. All for a bunch of, now out-of-date Watchtowers.

Don't do it I cry out to all who may be aware of the danger. But hey, who am I? I am just a poster on this sub. And pretty much everyone on here already knows the truth about the truth. So, why am I even saying this? I guess because it's cathardic maybe.

At any rate, just maybe some of you know the pain too. My best to you.

in retrospect: RBCs vs LDCs / the hype about a lot of new construction and subsequent abrupt halt to construction

by Magnum in

so, now that some time has passed, i’d like some input/thoughts/analysis/etc.

on the jw construction situation in the last few years.. first, why did they discontinue the rbc arrangement and institute the ldc arrangement?

was it for more and/or better control?

LevelThePlayingField

I smell a rat.

New baby on the way... and transfusions

by Anony Mous in

it's been a while since i posted life updates.

this time we are having a baby boy come along in a few months.

off course nothing is ever easy, my wife is extremely anemic to the extent we are being referred to a hematologist for iron and/or packed red blood cells and potential full blood transfusions.

LevelThePlayingField

Wow, this is not easy even without JW standards. My thoughts and prayers are for you both.

LevelThePlayingField

Yeah, me too. I say 20k. People are waking up and some of those who wake up, keep hold as a Christian and start to partake.

Are You Objective About Who You Were As a JW?

by Wasanelder Once in

today there was a jesus preaching head case with a bullhorn blaring "save yourself from the fires of hell!

accept jesus.

god loves you!

LevelThePlayingField

I distinctly remember this one guy. He was mowing his lawn and I walked up to him and he said, "NO!" as in to say get lost. I asked him, "Do you know who we are?" He replied, "I don't care!" and turned his mower around and kept on mowing.

I thought to myself, ah, he's dead. I wanted to turn around and telling him, he's as good as dead, but didn't.

So, yeah, give me a blowhorn.

It may make an otherwise NON thinking Witness into a thinking one. Who knows. :)
