  Hospital refuses surgery on JW patient - Switzerland

  by TheWonderofYou in

  switzerland - .

  jw files a suit because his surgery was refused!

  supreme court decides against jw.. in the present case, the dilemma to which the hospital refers is not at all.

  Sooo sad that a person is (semi) willing to give up their life based on some f*cked up interpretation of a jewish dietary law imposed on the f*cked up nation of Israel. I've lost 2 jw friends who very well could have survived if they had taken a blood transfusion.

  Unfortunately the wtbts will never be able to get "new light" on the blood issue due to the lawsuits that would follow. Wouldn't it be ironic if jw's would start suing the wtbts if one of their loved ones died as a result of refusing a blood transfusion. Or, sue the wtbts if the jw accepts a blood transfusion, survives but is then disfellowshipped (essentially being put to a spiritual death).They would probably not be able to win the law suit, but it would surely start to cost the wtbts to have to defend themselves.

  Going out in service.

  by Fader812 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i loved going out in service, i would empty my book bag out on the counter at the laundromat, walk out and go get a doughnut, i had a lot of hours and placements on my time card.

  i really hated talking to people, the anxiety was too much for me to handle, good thing my service partner felt the same way..

  What always disgusted me when I was a devoted jw was the "hot topic" for discussion among the pioneers around the middle of August every year. "Did you get you TIME in"?, "Are you going to get your TIME in?", "Did you make your TIME?"

  It was always about time and not about people! When the CO came around, his question to the elders. "How can we help the pioneers to get their TIME in?"

  Lack of open-mindedness

  by ilikecheese in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a lot of religious folks can have an open-minded discussion about their beliefs without getting defensive.

  some can actually consider things from another point of view and point out the validity in the other person's point.

  obviously, a lot of jws may just be scared to think/speak in a semi-detrimental way about their religion.

  sparrowdown

  I'm 100% with sparrowdown on this. It's always been of paramount importance for the wtbts to have ALL the answers to All the questions. Even having the answers to the medical, scientific, marital, and what is sexually acceptable for married persons questions! Just to think that most of us at one time actually believed that they had All the correct answers make me ill. How stupid we were to part of such a grandiose organization that made us so mentally lazy!

  Can the GB be directed by Holy Spirit and at the same time be not inspired ?

  by Chook in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  yes god directs our writings but they're not inspired, so gods directions are staggered and overlapping , so the genuine innocent believing jw has a wonderful life of overlapping bullshit.

  so next time you meet a jw priest ask them what is the difference between being directed and inspired, then i promise you will hear first hand an example of overlapping bull..

  The terms "directed by Holy Spirit" and "inspired" EVIDENTLY and CLEARLY do not have "overlapping" meanings!

  Watchtower study today - best practice in word

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  due to family reasons gorby was present today.. the watchtower study was about refugee's.. how to treat refugee's, jw and non believers, and help them spiritual, not financial.

  nothing new.. what i mentioned is the juridical message underneath the whole story.

  don't talk politics, listen to government regulations etc.. most bizar is that a whole congregation that normaly avoid giving any aid to people in need, this morning gave the best practice in word about what to do with refugee's.. if the subject was not that serious, this hypocracy could be funny.

  We can surely see how loving jehober is! When a person is starving, cold, and tired, only literature from the watchtower can be truly comforting!

  ancelink10 hours ago10 hours ago11 hours agoWhen I was in, they constantly used the example of Noah regarding how hard we should be working.
  Noah had to :
  1) build the ark
  2) preach nonstop to the people

  Don't forget that Noah was a very shit*y preacher/teacher. Not even 1 person did he or his family convert in their 40 or so years of preaching!

  Weekly Scripture Twist - aka the Watchtower Study

  by doubtfull1799 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  “more than material assistance, refugees need spiritual and emotional support.

  (matt.

  4:4) elders can help by obtaining literature in the language of the refugees and by helping them contact brothers who speak their language.

  how can we briefly make a calm, dignified point to witnesses we care about such as family or friends?

  how can we make them think?.

  here are a couple of well known scriptures: (from the revised new world translation.

  Yep, I can vividly remember using an illustration that I and many other elders used in our "encouraging" talks to the congregation. The illustration was;

  "If you knew that your water supply had just one little drop of poison in it, would you drink it?"

  Maybe jehober protects "his people" from poison! NOT

  What changes would JW.org need to make to become a normal Christian denomination.

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  i am interested in getting people's thoughts on this.

  on average 40 thousand people leave the organisation yearly for one reason or another.

  the experiences all over the media are proof of this.

  How about really applying the verse at James 1:27

  27 The form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation,

  Take care of the widows and orphans
