  mr. shannon farmer, the jw who is currently working with axel hoffman to implement blood management programs in europe, is the subject of a radio show in australia that aired on june 1, 2015.. http://www.abc.net.au/newsradio/content/s4249605.htm.

  controversy over blood management and blood transfusionsgovernments manage potential conflicts of interest all the time, but they seldom concern the very stuff running through our veins.the national blood authority's expert panel on blood transfusions includes one member who doesn't believe in blood transfusions at all.moreover, shannon farmer has a commercial interest in alternatives to blood transfusions.

  newsradio's clive hunton reports from canberra.. listen to radio broadcast (8:55 min):.

  I'm open minded, I could see a symbiotic business relationship developing over time, but is there really proof that the 70-year blood ban is for research? How can we know motivations of people that are total strangers?

  Convention Invites are Idiotic

  by cookiemaster in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so, like every year, there's a campaign going on about giving people convention invites and urging them to attend the convention.

  what an utterly moronic waste of time.

  we live 500+ kilometers away from the convention hall.

  John 21:23 a new argument for JW's regarding false prophecy promoted being OK

  by ILoveTTATT2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i want as many minds put into this as possible.. there is a new argument among the extreme jw apologists, saying that even the disciples promoted mistakes.

  they base themselves on john 21:23. keep in mind, i am not a believer but i want the answer from a believer's standpoint, please.. .

  The difference was there was no Governing Body…but say there was, they did not proclaim this teaching as spiritual food. If you did not believe this, you would not get shunned.

  The Watchtower likes to portray failed predictions and teaching as the fault of Jehovah’s Witnesses, but nobody blames the “channel”, the Watchtower, or the Governing Body or Watchtower president of the time. It is a top down organization…they take the credit up top, and put the blame on the bottom.

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  if you had to pinpoint the time or experience that finally made you open your eyes, what would it be?.

  i think for me it was the time i saw my dad shun his brother who he had not seen in decades just because he was a da'ed jw.

  i thought to my self "no way jesus would do that.

  The October/November 2011 articles on 607. Not only did I find out the Watchtower was mistaken, but the way they quoted and references scholars and their works was entirely dishonest.

  No 607->no 1914->no 1919->the entire theology is wrong and they’ve no divine appointment.

  Of course, the dishonesty was a more serious issue and a deeper rabbit hole than merely a mistaken theology.

  Is 2 feet + 3 meters= 5 meters? Jehovah's witnesses say yes it is!

  by quincemyles in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  have you noticed that adding 607 b.c.e roman/gregorian years to 2520 jewish biblical/prophetic years to get 1914 roman/gregorian years c.e is like adding 2 feet + 3 meters= 5 meters?.

  the insights volume ii under heading year, mentions that a bible or prophetic year is reckoned to have 360 days.

  many other publications indicate that a prophetic year is 360 days long.

  And evidently there did not seem to be a 360 day lunar year...
