a woman has a blood transfusion during pregnancy.
this blood, obviously, now constitutes the unborn child's circulation.
kid gets born, becomes of age and wants to become a jw.
This is not an example of apostasy. An apostate is someone who denounces their former faith. Or as far as JWs are concerned someone who doubts and questions WT doctrines.
Someone who has been given blood without their consent is not an apostate in any sense of the word.
I hope this clears up your confusion

http://www.inquisitr.com/1766536/biology-professor-creationist-magazine/.
a biology professor is speaking out, demanding an apology and calling for an end to attempts to perpetuate lies against evolution after a statement from him was taken out of context in a creationist article in awake!, a jehovahs witness publication.
he says that a portion of his statement was picked from the whole, leaving a completely different impression from his actual statement.. .
I can't see WT giving a response to this. Anyone who is really interested knows that Singh was quote mined and now know WT quote mine scientists to prove their point. The fact that they are not entering into a discussion about this is revealing.

i have been a regular visitor to this site for several years now.
i never really felt the need to set up an account and post...until now.
at the close of yesterdays meeting, an older brother gave the prayer.
Thank you my name, for this thread.
It just shows that moving with technology and saving the WT money is more important than the elderly. The WT don't care about them. He obviously felt very stressed not knowing how to use a tablet, it astonishes me how the WT make JWs feel.
I hope he leaves

hello forum,.
i'm new here and not sure where to post.
so, i'm 21 years old and currently a baptized witness, however, i'm slowly making my mind up to leave and here's why.. first, there are certain things that make no sense to me in the organization.
Welcome Garrett,
Well it's good that you have no family as witnesses. I strongly recommend you read the books and websites some of the others have recommended.
Reading this material will help you understand you're not alone in thinking the way you do. Many others see what you see, but there is more you don't see yet that will help you.
Glad to see you're not going back now.
Take care

i know dubs are delusional.
i know dubs don't reason well.
i know dubs are a bit off, like many groups.
Wow! DD, having to watch this nonsense in meetings is pretty rough. I remember when the video was first released there was lots of controversy around it. I was still in trying to get RI'd and a friend said that it was bad to encourage child baptism. She didn't agree with the video.
The more outrageous things they do the more JWs will wake up. Sorry to hear you are still at the meetings, drinking before you go is not really the solution you know DD.
Take care

i just checked out google trends for "jehovah's witnesses" (denomination).
not sure if the link will be to the term but let's try:.

Good point, all cults prey on the vulnerable. It's how they control people more easily, if they are vulnerable.

my mom called me yesterday to ask how i was doing.
i hadn't seen her in a while, so it was nice to hear her voice.
we went through the motions of jw small talk and then she started telling me about her co visit from last week.
very soon our way of worship will be altered by this wicked world."-SOP
As many have already said, this is the same old nonsense to keep members alert and doing more. Don't fall for it. All the new thoughts and the new practices amount to nothing. JW TV is the current big thing and it's just a load of rubbish talks by the GB.

i found his logic and succinct explanation of his position fantastic.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-suvkwnysqo.
.
it's finally finished!
it's a fictional story about an old jw.
it is very long, about 7000 words.. the opal ring.
Thanks Julia, I enjoyed that. You have posted the first half before though. I remember it. Sad abrupt ending though, but very realistic indeed.
