Hello Maximus:I must say I'm relatively new to these discussion forums but I too, in the last few months, have learned more here than in my more that 4 decades from the WTS...or shall I say more TRUTH. I truly appreciate your sharing this information with us.Someone said a few days ago, that learning what we have been learning here from all you who have done such extensive research, has been like receiving a strong blow to the gut, and can't catch our breath.That's what I feel like again!!! How much more is out there that we have been deceived on? These deliberate misrepresentations in quoting respected authors to back up their doctrines is just deplorable.I started out thinking that the GB is NOT really TRYING to deceive us, just maybe are mistaken and caught up in the enthusiasm of their 'understanding' of the Bible and their efforts to make us stand apart from Christendoms' false teachings.I can't accept that anymore....I now fully know they, and I mean the real head honchos like Fred Franz and his righthand henchmen writers, were and are deliberatly doing this. There are too many examples being exposed, by you fine gentlemen researching these publications, that cannot be ignored. Blatant, deliberate misrepresentation!! 
And some people wonder why we get angry and hurt when we find these things out?I add my disgust to the ones who ask "what about all the lives this kind of barbaric lie has cost? What about the families totally torn apart by the WTS enforcement of df'ing those who have given in to taking a blood transfusion?"But now its OK to take fractions...but let's not go back and reinstate those who were df'd before we allowed this... NO...that would be admitting WE were wrong and everybody knows WE, the GB, are directed by God...new light and all..We're not perfect but we ARE directed by God. And now we won't df anyone who takes blood, just will consider them as making their choice and have da'd themselves.I'd better quit now before my blood pressure pops.Had Enough
