i was doing some reading up on the wtbts former belief that the annointed would go and be with jehovah and jesus on "alcyone" when they died.
(alcyone is a star system in the constellation taurus.
it is the brightest star in the pleiades open cluster, which is a young cluster, aged at less than 50 million years.
batshit crazy!

okay, after a discussion with the seperated wife who admitted that because she is a jehovahs witness that she expects to be hated by everyone.
she expressed that she was "foreign" and not the same as others since she is not of this world.
okay, reality check - this is actually taught by the watchtower?
batshit crazy!

just got to thinking how long can the watchtower peddle the 'soon' story with any credibility?.
i would say there are the oldtimer or born ins in the 70+ age group - they possibly remember the 2nd world war, and maybe joined for 1975 or made life affecting decisions meaning they are so commited with 'nowhere else to go' that they have surrendered to the resurrection hope.. then you have the '1986 international year of peace, the 1914+70 year' generation crowd.
people in their 40s and 50s now.
Jehos are 2 classes:
1. Narcissists (drug addicts)
2. Narcissist suppliers (drug suppliers)
firstly, love and greetings to all - i've been lurking here and elsewhere for a long time and have benefitted more than i can say.
i'm still in - i have a genuine fear that coming out would kill my mother - but i've recently taken the first step away.
i told a non-jw friend that i knew it was all a load of nonsense and i didn't believe any of it.
These JW people are self serving narcissists. I hope you can get away. Keep smiling and get away as fast as you can.
i am wondering this:.
what surgeries/procedures/situations have been shown to be life-or-death decisions without blood?.
i only know, currently, of trauma (car accident, gunshot wound, etc).... what would be treatable exclusively with "no blood fractions" and with "no procedures using my blood"?.
If you ever got bit by a misquito in a crowded room you had a blood transfusion. Sorry.
symbolism of columns.
maybe i'm reading into it a bit, but i just found this odd.
of all the things to decorate your holy stage with, and you pick something iconic of temples of an ancient religion and world power that you claim was evil.

i always was a critical jw, now df and agnost.
but still this religion fascinates me.
in my eyes most jw are very sincere, but dumb sheep.. this board is filled with ex-jw.
>>> You said they did not give medical advice.
I provided you with direct evidence that they did indeed give medical advice--many times in fact, and continue to do so today. <<<
if they are "Ordained Ministers" They should be held to the same standards as Medical professionals.....HIPAA privacy prohibit medical professionals from disclosing medical information.
Jeho's "ordained ministers" should be held to the same standard.
