  Inside the JW HQ Warwick, NY

  by baldeagle in

  here is a short 2-minute video from fox 5 news reviewing the new jw hq in warwick, ny.. the first thing the jw spokesperson says is, “our primary purpose is not to convert, but to give people an opportunity to see what the bible has to say.”.

  next the reporter says, “the new world headquarters, which opened last year, is home to about 800 jehovah's witnesses.”.

  it seems to me that 800 is an extremely low number since the glory days in brooklyn.

  2017 Sunday RC Final Talk & Comments About 1975

  by baldeagle in

  many of us here have commented on the deceitful friday afternoon video shown at the 2017 rc that discussed 1975.. the video attempted to shift the blame onto congregation members for the fiasco saying, "some were looking to a certain date as signifying the end of this old system of things.".

  this same video mentions how, “a few even went so far as selling their homes and quitting their jobs.”.

  we all know that the wt leadership created this teaching and endorsed it right up to its abject failure.. now below is the concluding talk given on sunday at the rc.

  Blood Ban Not Going Away Anytime Soon

  by baldeagle in

  at the recent circuit assembly in our area (nov 19/2016) a talk was given in the afternoon entitled “jehovah will resurrect the dead” it’s clear that the prohibition on blood is not going away anytime soon.

  many of us here have expressed the hope that this death dealing policy would be softened or become a complete conscience matter.

  not the case, jw’s are urged to not give in and to focus on the resurrection hope.

  my active jw wife has gone to all meetings, assemblies, memorials, and service groups by herself after i faded off the radar about 5 years ago.

  i asked her this past saturday as she prepared to join another sister from the kh for the service group regarding, voluntary donations.

  i inquired if publishers still mention this to the householder when placing literature.

  wt august 1, 1974 pp.

  467-468 maintaining a balanced viewpoint toward disfellowshiped ones.

  5 it is right to hate the wrong committed by the disfellowshiped one, but it is not right to hate the person nor is it right to treat such ones in an inhumane way.suppose, then, a member of a christian congregation boating on a lake were to see another boat containing a disfellowshiped person capsize, throwing the disfellowshiped one into the water where he struggled to stay afloat.

  Blood Transfusions First A Personal Matter – Then Became A Disfellowshipping Offense

  by baldeagle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for a number of years in jw history it was taught that having a blood transfusion was a matter of personal choice that an individual made between him/her and god.

  it was not to be anybody elses business.

  blood transfusions were frowned upon by the wts leadership (wt july 1, 1945 pages 199-200).
