Part A: The Missing 200-Years
by Amazing1914 inpart a: the missing 200 years
the watchtower society has written a lot since its inception in 1878.
it has zeroed in on religious history and doctrine to make its case that such religion is false and thus concluded that the watchtower society must be true.

When is the WTS actually going to hang themselves? I bet those WTS lawyers are working around the clock with respect to carefull wording of those documents so as to leave them an way out.

Undercover,
Do you "really" think that celebrated list of WTS scholars is going to stand up and take credit for all that baloney they have been writing for all these years? LOL, I wouldn't hold my breath. I know you said that tongue in cheek, I just couldnt resist saying it anyway.

DAMNED CONSCIENCE:JW Hypocrites Who Take Blood Products
by steve2 inthe blood letters by r jensen made riveting reading.
thank you to the posters who advised about the availability of these letters: a lone elders attempts to elicit some sense from the rigidly nonsensical watchtower's pick-and-choose blood transfusion doctrine.
the guy was probably doomed from the start, but i so admire his persistence and courage!

Hello Marvin,What I wonder is how can the Governing Body of JW's sleep at night knowing they have a two conflicting doctrines at the same time? Or are they so old they dont realize it?

After a while, Bob joins the lawyers team... (sad ending, isn't it?)
You didnt though Narkissos, did you. YOu were an elder at one time right? So all hope is not lost. We are quickly losing hope for our loved ones still hanging onto the lawyers every word. This too is very sad. Tor

Society's recall of older books
by rekless indoes anybody remember when the wtbts ask all the congregations to bring back all the old outdated books.

Hello Steve2,
You wrote:
could I assume that the Watchtower itself has not published its views in any of its publications ;of donating blood ;under restricted conditions being a conscience matter?
To my knowledge the WTS has not written anything of the sort that the rank and file JW would have access to. Even the dumbest JW would realize the stupidity of the doctrinal claim they make that JW's abstain "FROM" blood. How do you abstain FROM something whilst using FROM the same substance at the same time.
I doubt if even many CO's have given it much thought. The one I had a run in with certainly didnt. They (the elder and co) were more interested in if "I believed that the faithful slave was God's representative on earth" than answering any questions I had at the time about blood.
