  Watchtower's deception regarding blood transfusions

  by Rufus T. Firefly in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  you also ask why one can be dis-fellowshipped for taking a blood transfusion but not for taking blood fractions.

  while both may affect the life of an individual, the expression "life-sustaining" in connection with blood transfusions is synonymous with the idea of taking in food for nourishment.

  in this regard both whole blood and major components of it carry nutrients, oxygen, and other nourishment to the body.

  i hope this link works for everyone.

  if you can watch this video, i think you will find it very interesting how closely scientology resembles the watchtower society.

  for example, the watchtower's 'apostates' equate to scientology's 'suppressives.

  Breast milk contains white blood cells

  by Rufus T. Firefly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just learned (from a post on a facebook jw recovery forum) that breast milk contains white blood cells [see link below for confirmation].

  so, when nursing, an infant ingests its mother's white blood cells for nourishment.

  furthermore, i have known jw mothers who would nurse the infant of another mother when that mother was temporarily indisposed.

  Watchtower "litter-ature"

  by Rufus T. Firefly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the town where i live, it became customary some years ago for the pioneers to do the actual door-to-door work during the week, and their not-at-home records would provide the territory for the rank-and-file publishers on the weekends.

  also, car groups of publishers would get an early start by driving around to the apartment complexes in their territory and leaving older issues of the magazines in the laundry rooms, a practice some called stealth witnessing.

  many so-call publishers do nothing but stealth witnessing and wouldnt know how to actually talk to someone if they had to.
