The volume the form document was lifted from contains an opening article originally published in Ethicon (Volume 10, No. 7) Can't say I've ever heard of the publication titled Ethicon, but the article is authored by Dr. Dixon who at the time was medical director at Watchtower headquarters in Brooklyn NY. This article by Dixon is layered with fallacy and assumption of things the Bible is completely silent about. It boggles the mind to realize how an educated adult could let him or herself write such claptrap. It's as if he accepted what came from Watchtower without the slightest bit of corroboration!

Today I added a new article to my blog. It will appeal to readers interested in historical documentation of Watchtower blood doctrine. It contains an image of a very rare document from the early 1970s stipulating what Jehovah's Witnesses do not allow. The document is titled Release From Liability and can be viewed at:

i researched their own material and i found some good info on how they don't mind control anyone.
the following unedited information was sourced from their february 15, 1994 watchtower p. 5-7. i've highlighted some sentences that we all know are lies and a distortion of the reality of their community:.

Watchtower Identifies Brainwashing
http://marvinshilmer.blogspot.com/2012/04/watchtower-identifies-brainwashing.html
I recommend photocopying page 10 of the January 22, 1990 issue of Awake magazine. Circle the appropriate paragraph and then share a few facts of the matter with a JW who cares enough to have the discussion. If you need a few facts of the matter to share the short article linked to above give two doozies.

Obviously, if these methods had been used, there would be an overwhelming number of victims in contradiction to any argument in favor of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
That statement by Watchtower is something I completely agree with, but as it turns out that statement presents a challenging situation given what we have access to today.

Glaring discrepency in Blood Doctrine
by kjg132 ini found an article on the dr. sears website about the benefits of breasfeeding.
according to the article it says: "a drop of breastmilk contains about one million white blood cells.
" it also says "colostrum also contains higher amounts of white blood cells..........than mature milk.

In WT's view, the symbol for life is more important than life!
Watchtower's blood doctrine is an instance of Watchtower treating a supposed symbol for life equivolent to life itself.
Yet when directly addressing the concept of whether a symbol should be held on par with the thing it symbolizes, Watchtower says something else.
It's an instance of Watchtower saying different things from different corners of its publishing mouth.

Michael Brown verdict discussion policy - take II
by Simon ini had originally thought that making the rules clear about what was and wasn't going to be allowed when discussing the michael brown verdict that we'd be able to avoid some of the unpleasantness that surrounded the subsequent trayvon martin trial discussions.. michael brown verdict discussion policy.
i had hoped that once the evidence came out there would not be as many people promoting opinions that contradicted it.
unfortunately, that appears to have been naive of me.

If the justice system decides someone is innocent then you cannot come on here and claim that they are guilty.
If the justice system decides someone is guilty then you cannot come on here and claim that they are innocent.
Hi Simon. Looks like I'm late to this discussion. But for whatever it's worth here's my two cents:
I read your remarks to mean participants have to respect decisions of the court. My observation, and the reason for quoting what I do above, is that often courts do not find a person innocent but, rather, not guilty as charged. And, in each case a court's finding is strictly toward how a defendant was charged.
A finding of not guilty as charged does not mean a person is innocent but, rather, that the court did not find enough evidence to find them guilty as charged. There is presumption of innocence in the US court system that also has to be respected. Hence a finding of not guilty as charged means the court presumes a defendant is innocent of the legal charge against them. But this presumption by the court only extends to what a person is charged with by the judicial system and the judicial system does not get into issues that are strictly ethical or moral. Hence a defendant could be found not guilty as charged (read: presumed innocent as charged) yet not be found innocent of some profound ethical or moral breach that has negative impact on a community.
So my question is this:
Does your revamped policy allow us to discuss issues related to the Wilson-Brown incident that the court is silent on, so long as we respect what the court did decide?

How would you respond to this defense made on behalf of The Watchtower's Child Abuse lawsuits?
by adjusted knowledge indetails of the society's child abuse policies have been published in jehovah's witnesses' publications, although more specific guidelines are only made available to elders, or on request.
press releases issued by the watch tower society's office of public information confirm that if a person accused of molestation repeatedly denies the charges of his victim, and there is no other witness to the incident, "the elders cannot take action within the congregation at that time", but would report to authorities if required by local laws.
our families jehovahs witnesses and child protection.

During the past few years the Watchtower Society has made some improvements to its policies related to allegations of child abuse.
Currently the single biggest flaw in Watchtower's policy related to child abuse is that it NEVER comes right out and ENCOURAGES that victims of child abuse and parents/guardians of victims of child abuse report the allegation to local law enforcement authorities.
This omission is significant and noteworthy because the Watchower organization teaches its adherents to look to it for guidance on matters of life and living it.
So...
How would I respond to this defense made on behalf of The Watchtower's Child Abuse lawsuits?
I'd respond by asking whoever presents this defense WHY the Watchtower organization has so far failed to come out and actually encourage JWs to report allegations of child abuse to law enforcement authorities?
After all, if a JW reports allegation of child abuse to his or her local elders they must give some credence to the accusation. Right? So why not encourage the SAME JW to also report the allegation to local law enforcement so that other children at risk in the same neighborhood have some chance of being protected from a potential predator? Doesn't the Bible tell us to love our neighbors AS WE LOVE OURSELVES?
