  Watchtower defiance against Hitler

  by The Quiet One in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  watchtower october 1, 2011 page 14 'did hitler receive letters of protest from church officials concerning the outrager perpetrated by the national socialists, or nazis?

  there were some, but such letters were few and far between.

  in the moscow archives, however, eberle found a file containing a number of letters sent to hitler by jehovah's witnesses..protesting against the conduct of the nazis.

  It seems there's evidence that Hitler initially would have been satisfied with the expulsion of all Jews from Germany; but when the rest of the world, including the United States proved reluctant if not actively opposed to taking them in, he radicalized his intention, turning to the "final solution" option.

  JWs relieved when judges decree their kids must have a blood transfusion

  by MrMonroe in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  danny haszard tweeted the following story from the flordia sun-sentinel: state butts in to give kids a life.

  it's a fascinating story that shows the real attitude of many parents of young children who become seriously ill. though ordered by their religion to refuse transfusions and simply accept that their child may die as a result, some parents willingly accept the right of the state to decree that a transfusion must take place if doctors so decide.. no parent wants their child to die, and it would simply tear them apart to know that a reasonably simple and routine medical practice could save their life ... yet they would be shunned by their family and friends if they accepted.

  the solution is to hope like hell the state steps in, allowing them to say to their congregation, "well, what can you do?

  One gets the sense that the GB wishes the whole blood ban mess would just go away, and are wracking their brains for a face-saving way to extricate themselves without triggering an avalanche of law suits.

  Significant news, thanks; it seems the WT is sinking its claws ever deeper into the present system of things! Doesn't anyone ever care to remind them that they're supposed to averting bloodguilt by directing their energies and resources into shouting out their life-saving message to the billions of men, women and children from the impending doom they face at any moment, and by any means available to them?

  Is The Governing Body Of Jehovah's Witnesses In Agony?

  by metatron in

  with every passing magazine and assembly, i ask myself, why?.

  why does the governing body care?

  the diatribes against college, against the internet and i-phones and vampire movies and afterschool sports and social networks and everything new, interesting or useful in the world, why?

  SEX! and the DC Sunday Drama

  by Red Piller in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the sunday drama at the dc was a parallel ancient (joseph in egypt) and modern (jw kid in high school) drama.

  or was it extremely eroticized?

  i've been seeing these my whole life and have never felt this way.. conversation between joseph and fellow prison inmate:.
