How would elders react if I tell them that I would accept blood?

by Daniel1555 in

just recently i explained to my parents and my wife in detail, why i would accept blood or red, white blood cells, platelets or plasma in a medical emergency.

i showed them the inconsistencies and flaws about blood fractions and also the biblical reasons that show clearly that jehovah and jesus do not want a jehovah's witness to die because of that wrong doctrine.. my parents reacted surprised.

they are both about 50 years in the "truth.

No one in JW religion has a title that elevates them above others! I did not know this fact!

by Faithful Witness in

from jw.org (while waiting for new bible to download, i clicked on the link for "christian," which asks the following question...).

"are we christians?

we are christians, for the following reasons.

@SFTW-the terms elder, pioneer co are most certainly all titles. In fact aren't these titles called "positions"? When someone is a" ministerial servan"t isn't this referred to a stepping stone to higher position?.

Also elders and co's tell you what to do all the time and most certainly the governing body tells you what to do. Haven't you been paying attention to the articles lately about obedience to those taking the lead? Someone told me one that if the governing body would say to him to paint this wall with peanut butter and jam,--he would do it no question asked.

Be honest with yourself--start taking a good look and start making notes of all the times brothers with titles lord it over you and tell you what to do

You got to get your head out of the sand there my friend.

A House Divided Against Itself Falls-Luke 11:17

that text reminds me of one of a handful of problems peculiar to the ex-jw community.

second only to the wild beast's internal divisions, is the divided makeup of the ex-jw populace.

you know the one thing that indicates jehovah's blessing upon the worldwide association of kingdom proclaimers, is not only the continued success of the preaching work, but along with it the unity and love amongst the brothers and sisters.

This isn't a borg. This a wonderful forum of different ideas. We are united in one simple way----we all have shared in some measure the jehovah's witness experience.

by BONEZZ in

jw

finally got it up on youtube...the title right at the moment is just "grandma" but it's going to change to "grandma pleads with jehovah's witness granddaughter.".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcpuj96a8lg.

we taped it about a week ago and my mom went into the hospital 3 days ago.

So very very sad. Such a sweet grandma. I wish I had a grandma.

The jw organization is twisted and cold. I hate it more and more each day for what it does to people and families.

Thanks for putting this up Bonezz and I hope grandma rallies. Give her a big kiss and hug.

OK - I've had it - My letter to the KH

by LisaRose in

the whole time i lived in colorado, i had the dubs come by once and leave a tract.

but since moving to california, they are at my door so often i asked them to put me on the "do not call" list.

this did not stop them, in fact i have asked four times, plus once i called the kingdom hall and left a message, they still come, the last time this past saturday.

Nice letter --enjoyed reading it- they might read up to where you say you are an "apostate", then it will probably be tossed. I liked Carla's idea of a cease and desist letter.

List of Circuit Overseers Who Told Me As A Child, "NWT is Most Honest Because It's Not A Dishonest Thought-Translation (Paraphrased Loosely). I Repent, I am Sorry For Lying Now!

by AuntConnie in

the pain of all the lies i am learning about the truth is making me think of moving to a nation where legal euthenesia is allowed.

i take my medicine on a daily basis but it's not working, only so much medication will remove all the decades of guilt, lies being told and human intellect we suffocated by teaching the cult's methods of killing ideas.

i don't deserve anything, lord jesus christ i repent of all my lies and will try to be a better person.
