Twisted Scriptures of the Watchtower - Part 2
by joe_from_kokomo infriends: .
this one may not qualify as a "fully-twisted" scripture, in the sense that so many others are more twisted and more misused, and more transliterated.
but, i did run across a scripture that is incorrectly translated in the new world translation i felt it needs to be brought to light.

Need your help: How to convince a doubting JW field service isn't required?
by joe_from_kokomo infriends: i need your help.
my family and i left the wts one month ago and during a recent discussion with my sister-in-law, who is still in the borg, it seems she also has doubts, too.
but, one thing in particular seems to keep her in the organization: she believes that by being a witness she is fulfilling the commandment at matthew 28:19 about "go therefore and make disciples [of people] of all the nations and baptize them in the name of..." (well, you know the rest by heart.

Breaking Up is Hard to Do...
by joe_from_kokomo inmy wife and i just left the wts after some 6 years of involvement (5 1/2 as baptized jws).
it has been a painful experience, i must tell you, but also one that has been filled with great joy and relief, too.

Mourners offended when JWs target them at the cemetary!
by joe_from_kokomo infriends and 'ex-friends': .
you'll find this little ditty of a news story very amusing.
it seems some overly-zealous sister from the uk was pestering the grieving worldly ones at the local cemetary so much that they got mad and complained to the cemetary owner, who then complained to the kh overseer.

Did you know: some states will force blood transfusions on your child
by joe_from_kokomo inone of my children is facing surgery, and when we went in for pre-op discussions and tests, we met with the anesthesiologist's assistant.
of course, we told her we were jws, and noted that on the questionaire form, but she was quick to inform me that in my state, blood transfusions can be administered to minor children in spite of the parent's objections, even if they are jws.
state law precedent has been set in this matter, and they will get a court order if needed.. .
