Sometime in the late 1970s or early 1980s the Society published a half-hearted apology for being too eager regarding the 1975 issue.
The little blurb was in one of the late 70 or early 80's yearbooks. It was a few lines at the bottom of the page. hardly an apology.

I would not wish to pry them away from the society - a life away from that dream could destroy them.
Well said jnat! I have often thought about this very thing. When I share different things about the society with my mom, I see a sadness in her eyes. She feels only the "truth" is of value to her and to take that away feels like the rug has been pulled from under her.
I often ask myself if I have a right to destroy something that is so valuable and has given meaning to her life. (her words)
I am angered by the treatment of the elderly ones in the congregation. I see a lot of elderly ones who can barely walk and yet they are made to feel guilty if they don't peddle magazines every week.
I have seen many sick elderly ones who are expected to sit through days of hot, sticky and uncomfortable conventions.
This is ELDER ABUSE.
But what can you expect from an organization where the leaders are so out of such with the general public. They don't care. Their needs are well taken care of. What the hell do these old goats understand about the needs of the elderly. They use them. They take their money and then they throw them away like yesterday's garbage.

July 15 Watchtower article on Blood
by XBEHERE inin the 7/15 wt i dont recall the exact page, i dont have the magazine here at work but there is a chart that lists blood, what components are up to you and which ones are not allowed at all.
anyway its very odd because they list which ones christians should avoid from left to right, i.e.
red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, etc.

The regular garden variety dub ( Of which I was a part of) does not really understand this whole change of blood.
I was talking to one sister who boasts of a rich 'spiritual heritage' (members of her family are at bethel, in the missionary work, DO, CO ect, ect). She thought that fractions were blood alternatives and not parts of blood.
I talked to an elder regarding the July 15 article and his response was that it didn't matter what the changes are. The light gets brighter and brighter and we are to accept the governing body's lead because THEY HAVE A CONNECTION WITH GOD.
Unless one realizes that the governing body is not god's mouthpiece Jw's will continue to do what they are told whether its right or wrong.
I discussed this article with my mom (very loyal dub) and finally revealed to her that I do not carry a blood card and that in case of emergency I will do what I see fit and not what the society says. After all today's new light will eventually become old light.

I was recently told by a canadian bethelite that the governing body is sensing that the end is very near and that is the reason they are simplyfing things in Brooklyn.
Is this their way of simplyfing things?
Liars !!!!!!!!!!

The Surreal JW Horror show our agony and anguish
by Undaunted Danny inthe anguish and the agony of having to renounce the lifelong convictions of one's heart.the surreal horror to know that it was all a lie!
for the 33 years that i was a j-ho,the central theme of discussion among active jehovah's witnesses was their inescapable mortality.here i am 47 years old and the onset and onrush of middle-age can be overwhelming and devastating.
when they die they don't go to heaven.many like myself,squandered our youth for the watchtower.years of are vital prime spent in the borg are gone now forever.

When I was a doubting JW I sought reasonable, balanced and less emotionally charged information than you provide.
Logan,
perhaps your years in the borg were less than Dannys and you had less to lose. I know that I feel the same way as Danny many times. You only get one life and when most of it is squandered you don't get it back.
I agree that hate is toxic but it is nonetheless a imperative stage in the process of recovery.
just my 2cents
