  I'am in the Penalty Box! I asked the Circuit Overseer "Who Donates Blood For Jehovah's Witnesses Blood Fragments".

  by AuntConnie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  told my husband to put a muzzle on my mouth over the blood dogma.

  we all were driving around in field service when the topic of "which fragments would you take if you were in a car accident or cut yourself badly".

  said his choice is a personal one, another sister with chronic health problems said she had no problem with the governing body's new light on taking various fragments.

  It takes guts for an active JW to ask these sorts of questions so unpleasant for Watchtower worshippers.

  Watchtower does not want JWs thinking too hard about details of its blood doctrine.

  Watchtower’s answer to the question of accepting blood constituents from blood donated by someone else is to admit privately that its doctrine does not prohibit JWs from donating blood strictly for the purpose of having some of its fractions segregated and transfused to another patient.

  Either the CO didn’t get the memo or else he finds the answer so ludicrous he refuses to repeat it.

  For more on the subject see Jehovah’s Witnesses can donate blood available at: http://marvinshilmer.blogspot.com/2012/03/jehovahs-witnesses-can-donate-blood.html

  WATCHTOWER IN A PANIC!

  by JW GoneBad in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jws are in need of more kingdom halls in many major u.s. cities.

  at this years agm where it is expected that most of the faithful will be able to listen to the meeting (being tied in by video), dont be surprised if the wts 8 gb members take part in a symposium delivering some long winded appeal, petition, plea, proposal, proposition, solicitation or otherwise hit-on the masses for $$$ in order to lighten the burden and overuse that many kingdom halls are experiencing.

  an acquaintance from the west coast mentioned to me that in late august thru early september of this year that a number of pow-wows involving close to 5,000 elders from numerous areas (riverside, los angeles, ventura and orange counties) took place to drum up financial support from the 800+ (not sure) congregations in those areas.

  Why the Blood Ban?

  Today I added a new article to my blog addressing Watchtower’s motivation to construct its infamous blood doctrine.

  There are reports published that the reason was something other than religious conviction. My blog article shares a piece of information published by Watchtower that suggests the then existence of such an ulterior motive.

  My article is titled Why the Blood Ban? and is available at: http://marvinshilmer.blogspot.com/2013/09/why-blood-ban.html

  “Sorry but mimicking masturbation on stage in performance, never does go off well.”

  Hey! Maybe Miley saw that Watchtower video on masturbation. Think?

  Maybe one of our more gifted puter members can show us side by side video. I say it’s probably a close call.

  The following two short articles present information in answer to your question:

  - Watchtower’s Version of “Truth” available at: http://marvinshilmer.blogspot.com/2012/05/watchtowers-version-of-truth.html

  - Death from TRALI? available at: http://marvinshilmer.blogspot.com/2012/05/death-from-trali.html

  There is much more on the subject, and eventually I’ll have time to write about it.

  Watchtower’s blood doctrine does not protect Jehovah’s Witnesses from bloodborne pathogens or adverse reactions to transfusion of products extracted from blood.

  Sources tell me the Governing Body has added it’s newly discovered book to the Bible canon. It’s title is Regulations by Watchtower. My source says it’ll be called Regulations for short.

  The 2015 convention will feature Regulations for Your Attention featuring a full chapter on how it’s wrong to climax at hand. I understand illustrations in this chapter feature American Sign language.

  “I think besty was just trying to help you get better search engine results and more readers…”

  Yes. That’s how I read it. I appreciated besty’s recommendation and why it was offered. It was well received.

  “So what does it mean? Where is it from?”

  Oubliette understood it (see image supplied on page 1). I used a variation of the phrase “Danger Will Robinson! Danger!” It resonates with baby-boomers. More importantly, I had fun using it.
