Why don't you just marry the guy and have done with it.

many jws, who say they refuse blood believing it is their own conscience alone and not that of the watchtower.
yet when informed by hospital liason elders, that the "society" now leaves certain blood products down to their own conscience(meaning that you wont get expelled).
inevitably will then accept this blood product, and consider it as new light a concession from god.. but ask: who's conscience is being exercised when this happens?.

To a degree, conscience is shaped on trust.
*** w61 9/15. p559 Respect for the Sanctity of Blood ***
19 In view of the emphasis put on the use of blood in the medical world, new treatments involving its use are constantly being recommended. But regardless of whether it is whole blood or a blood fraction, whether it is blood taken from one’s own body or that taken from someone else, whether it is administered as a transfusion or as an injection, the divine law applies. God has not given man blood to use as he might use other substances; he requires respect for the sanctity of blood
On Vaccinations
Golden Age, Jan. 5 1929, Page 502
"Thinking people would rather have smallpox than vaccination, because the latter sows seeds of syphilis, cancers, eczema, erysipelas, scrofula, consumption, even leprosy and many other loathsome affections. Hence the practice of vaccinations is a crime, an outrage, and a delusion".
Do you think it was wise and beneficial to have put trust in those words back then?
“Anyone inexperienced puts faith in every word, but the shrewd one considers his steps.”—Proverbs 14:15.

one of the things that often crossed my mind when looking at the watchtower study, was where was this spiritual food for the annointed?.
the whole point of the so called faithfull slave class, is according to the watchtower to feed the "domestics"(annointed household of god).
yet mostly the themes of the watchtowers were for the great crowd.. how many watchtowers do you re-call centred on the heavenly calling?.
Fred, you are an older article.

we may disagree from time to time, but one thing we all share as former dubs is the knowledge of a "home we'll never see" - the phoney paradise we were promised.. if i may, then, i'd like to borrow this song, dedicated to the rescue workers at the world trade center, and send it out to all the supermen, superwomen, supergirls and superboys here.. ====.

Hi Nathan natas

as a matter of interest, how easy or difficult is it to purchase weapons in america?.
i see films like terminator, where it appears you can buy anything from rocket launchers to kalashnikov ak 74s.. can someone educate me on this?.

Thankyou everyone for such intersting posts.
Here in England of course, gun laws are much more strict.
Having said that my son as managed to purchase a Kalashnikov AK 74.
It is a genuine Soviet weapon, but it as been de-activated.You need no license at all to buy these guns.
Can these weapons be re-activated?.
One christmas when my son was a youngster, my mother brought him a gun for Christmas.His little face lit up when he saw it. We had just become JWs at that time, and so would not approve of such things. "do not learn war no more" was whistled in our ears by the watchtower.
So we would not let my son have the gun(it was a toy cowboy gun that shot caps)He was really saddened by this, and I would say this was the begining of the hurt that came through Watchtower indoctrinaion.
My mother was hurt also, and I look back now and regret the whole affair.
Anyway my son as had a fascination with guns ever since, he is now 23yrs old.
The idea of discouraging children to play with toy guns or any weapon
because it may cause them later on in life to start playing with the real things in my experience is a load of rubbish.
The opposite as been true.
I have fired a few rifles in my time: Royal Enfield .303s and .22 rifles. I have had no compulsion to become Rambo, all though in recent times I have toyed with the idea.
