"The hope we preach is sheer nonsense." - Jehovah's Witnesses
Now that's a quote to end all quotes.
...hope to enjoy everlasting life and witness the resurrection, things unseen by the world.
like the philosophers of paul’s day who called him an ignorant “chatterer,” most people today think that the hope we preach is sheer nonsense.
(acts 17:18) .

i found a retracted medical study that is cited by the bloodless/blood management world.. i wonder when they will get around to recognizing the retraction in the blood management world.
this study is still being used as a reference - the latest study that cited it was published in 2016.. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-2044.2009.06232.x/abstract.
notice of retraction the following article from anaesthesia, ‘safety of cardiac surgery without blood transfusion: a retrospective study in jehovah’s witness patients’, by el azab sr, vrakking r, verhage [sic] g and rosseel pmj, published online in wiley online library (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-2044.2009.06232.x/full) on 17 march 2010 and in volume 65, number 4, pages 348-52, has been retracted by agreement between three of the named authors (r vrakking, g verhaegh and pmj rosseel), the journal editor-in-chief, steve yentis, and blackwell publishing ltd. the retraction has been agreed following confirmation by the amphia hospital ethics committee that the study did not have ethical approval as claimed.

I will log into my access account on the weekend and post some of the retractions.

I checked my university access across all medical fields and had all the same type of retraction notices to quite a number of articles, by a certain fraudulent doctor, highly revered by Watchtower in relation to blood management.
Medical corruption ... how low can you go.
Shame on the holy spirit overseeing the activities of Jehovah's Witnesses and the writings of the faithful and discreet slave class.
some internal sources in jw.org has brought me attention to the following data:.
- in which european country, not member of the eu, and well known for their banking industry, jw.org and some affiliated structures do maintain some business incorporated structures and companies?.
- which is the purpose of these business and company structures?.

Juan the Bethelite???
i don't think this has been picked up anywhere yet.
the revised nwt released in 2013 is already out of date.
the second half of psalm 51:4 now reads "therefore, you are righteous when you speak, you are right in your judgment" in the online version where the printed version reads "so that you might prove righteous when you speak, and be right in your judgment".. fairly unimportant in itself, but i wonder what else has been changed without telling anyone..
Give the JWs a little slack. It must be very difficult for them to read conflicting "truths" between what the Bible actually says and what the Watchtower magazine actually teaches.
It is only to be expected that the official JW bible would be revised and constantly updated to fit in with the new light published in the Watchtower magazine.
Keep in mind the publishing precedent set by the Watchtower magazine in reducing the number of pages and volume of words printed, of which was then adopted into the bible by reducing the number of pages and volume of words printed in the bible, which then set the scriptural precedent to justify the previous reduction of the Watchtower magazine.
These changes to the bible were prophecied in the bible in the revised version of the prophecy which stated "the light gets brighter".

1:3.. full-time servants have significant responsibilities in the most important work the world has ever known.
(matt.
Q: What would a full-time servant of Jehovah's Witnesses do if confronted with a homeless person who had lost their primary means of support?
A: Read them a scripture.
Oh the irony that those Bethelites who were suddenly made homeless, and who have lost their own primary means of support, are read a scripture. You reap what you sow.
how did such a weighty decision get put directly in the hands on the average citizen?
and with only a simple majority required?
in the usa the biggest thing that people vote on directly is city building projects or infrastructure.
It comes down to the GOD effect and the unintended side-effect.
GOD = Guardians of Democracy. Equal say for all people. The decision with the most votes wins.
Not to be confused with the other GOD effect, Guardians of Doctrine, the prefered choice of the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses, in which no one has any say over anything but for the self-chosen holy seven.
judge sanctions jehovah's witnesses.
imposes $4000-a-day penalty for not producing documents in sex-abuse case.
by dorian hargrove, june 24, 2016. a san diego superior court judge has ordered the church of jehovah's witnesses, also known as the watchtower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, to pay $4000 a day for every day that it fails to produce documents requested in a civil lawsuit brought by former parishioner, osbaldo padron, who claims a church elder sexually abused him when he was seven years old.. in a june 23 ruling, expected to be made final today, judge richard strauss admonished the church for willfully ignoring a court order to produce all documents associated with a 1997 body of elders letter that church leaders sent to parishes around the world in a quest to learn about sexual abuse of children by church leaders.. over the course of the past year, the watchtower society and its lawyers have fought hard to keep the letter confidential, claiming that turning over the documents would infringe on the privacy of those mentioned in the letter that were not associated with the case.. in march 2015, the church turned over a heavily redacted version of the letter.
To All Congregations in the USA
Dear Brothers,
In this time of the end the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses have approved the establishment of a new world wide work fund. All congregations in the USA have been selected for the privelege of donating $4000 per day. We thank you in advance for your loving contributions.
Your brothers,
Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society of Pennsylvania
so britain is leaving the european union (eu).. the governing body of jehovah's witnesses have over the past year moved the majority of its european activities to the control of watchtower britain and the ibsa primarily because of britain's membership with the eu.. further, the incorporated pseudo-political lobby group, european association of jehovah's christisn witnesses, based in brussels, is administered by watchtower britain and its officers.
.
expect major changes in the structure of watchtower..
punkofnice: It's the feet of clay in Daniel's drug induced vision, they mean something again. The UK and the USA will be the dual world power again. Phew! The WBT$ were right all along.....apart from the feet of clay....and everything else they predicted.
Not if Scotland goes to another referendum and decides to leaves the UK so as to remain part of the EU.
