Blood Transfusions 101 for JW's

blood transfusions 101 for jw's-.

a blood transfusion will not save the life of a starving man = a blood transfusion is not food = a blood transfusion does not violate the ot law given by god to the jews to, "not eat blood" and that was later reiterated by the jewish christians to the gentile christians = the watchtower no-blood transfusion doctrine is a manmade abomination that kills innocent people = the watchtower society is guilty of promoting manslaughter.. .

the thing that sucks is that they are very much alive & we are literally less than five miles apart from each other everyday.

i had a long talk with one of my siblings today.

i've been getting a really weird vibe lately...today it was confirmed that i will be shunned from here on out from them.

a family member wants to know where in what publications does it say that jesus selected the wt in 1919.. it seems i've read that statement over and over again on "apostate" forums, but right now i can't find what publication it says that in.. this could be my chance to start planting seeds of doubt and expose 607, muahaha!

*evil apostate laugh* .

any know this off hand and can point me in the right direction?

How do you talk to your kids?
by greenie in
1. jw

just a question that's been bubbling around in my head the last couple of weeks as more new people join the board or others become more established.

for those of you on here that have children, nieces, nephews, grandkids, cousins, friends' kids, etc., how do you talk to them about what the jws teach?

i know there are many here that are in mixed relationships that either started that way or became that way when one left, i know there are those here that have both left, and in any circumstances, i'm just wondering how you talk to your kids about the religion and their beliefs.
