Gotta try and be like Abraham and all. Here was a guy who "saw" miracles happen so therefore would have more of a substantial reason for his faith. While we today don't see any miracles but witnesses are still expected to put their kids up on the alter.

Blood - why bother over kids?
by hamsterbait inevery time a jw child is rushed into hospital, precious hours are wasted over claim and counterclaim of the blood issue.
why do dub parents waste precious hours or minutes refusing blood for their kid, when they know a court order will take the issue out of their hands anyway????.
i just saw the film untergang, where himmler's wife said she did not want her children to live in a non nazi world.. surely to god this is not what is now going on in dub minds now the predictions are so patently lies???.

"The Truth."
"Experience."
And there was a watchtower study back in the early 90's that talked about Jesus as "The Great Potentate." I was like "Potentate?" Lets go straight to the stupid word thesaurus why don't we.

I am hurt, my wife had a miscarriage and still my family didn't contact me
by jwfacts intwo weeks ago my wife had a miscarriage at 11 weeks.
it is very sad as it was to be my first child and my wife is already 39. what hurt the most though is that none of my immediate family contacted me.
i was d/f in january and did not expect to hear regularly from my parents and sister.

Sorry to here that.
When I was df'ed I knew the rules, I was a single guy so I had very minimal contact with my family. But if anything had happened on that scale, even though I wouldn't have expected it, my mom probably would have been there or at least said something. I look back on so many things now though and am stunned at the level of in which this religion strips away basic human emotion.

has anyone ever...?
by bonnzo inwhile lurking, fading, or like me, a disgruntled dud who wishes to remain anonymous, found out that a fellow poster was a relative, friend, or just someone you knew?
i found out about one when i first registered and eventually revealed myself because i trust this person.
i just found another one that i dont trust at all!

One guy I know said to me, "Hey, I saw your picture on JWD." And I know another ex-witness that I got to talking to a while back that said he used to post on here, I didn't get his online name though.
