What religion would you recommend for those who want to leave the WTS?
by RULES & REGULATIONS in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
after i decide to leave the jehovah's witnesses one day,i will not look for a new religion.

the damage that the wts has caused me leads me to mistrust all men and religion.. i trusted these men from the wts .

i gave up 35 years of my life to find out that the wts is just a printing and real estate corporation disguised as a religion.

The meaning of "abstain from blood"
by voodoo lady in
1. watchtower
2. medical
this has been a fixation for me lately, mostly in trying to appeal to my mother to at least consider blood transfusions as an option in the most extenuating circumstances.

my attempts have fallen flat thus far.

we've discussed principles versus rules, and though she concedes that principles are in fact more important than rules, she reverses her stance when it comes to this particular issue, and rules become more important than principles.

WT forbids Higher Education but permits Employment
by PopeOfEruke in
1. watchtower
2. bible
isn't this a double standard?

the wt leaders forbids or at least strongly discourages higher education, main reason being the risk of getting influenced by worldly thought and associations.

then how come the wt leaders permit jw's to have fulltime employment with worldly companies??

WT Conventions in Honolulu
by PopeOfEruke in
1. jw
2. friends
i google'd the above and was interested to read that the local businessmen in hawaii estimate the conventions there this week and the next should inject "$100 million dollars" into the local economy.. that's a lot!!.

i can't believe the wt society is letting that much money slip through their greedy hands.. does anyone know if the society gets kickbacks or some other sort of "bonus" paid to them by the local businesses, e.g.

hotels, for the conventions?.
