i had a patient admitted from a skilled nursing facility/rehab that is an active jw.
the patient had covid-19 as did most of the patients at that facility.
typically the local elders are all involved in these admissions but there is a strict no visitor policy which includes clergy.
a. K ,You are right sometimes we are too quick to answer a question before we really take note of what the question really is all about.
I have seen it a few times myself.Hopefully I haven`t been guilty of it.
His blood transfusion wasn't to treat COVID-19 it was to treat his anemia.
jws or mormons.
from a public point of view not from people within the religion as that would be obvious.. examples of extreme beliefs or behaviour would be useful..
The tragedy is when Witnesses reach retirement age totally unprepared. They have been told there is no need (and are criticized if they DO prepare). They are led to believe Armageddon will come in time to save them and they should be in their ministry and not bother their pretty heads about annoying things like earning a living.
And they end up living in Aged Care facilities run by Institutions of Christendom whom they have lambasted their entire life as the Anti-Christ .
Because the JW Religion does not in any way or form look after the aged volunteers that have given their life in serving for the WT religion .
They in effect say the Govt. or Christendoms Religions will take care of you we have better things to do than look after the elderly who have spent most of their life slaving for us.
After all they are only volunteers ,it was their choice to volunteer,nobody made them do it.
And to answer the OP question ,the Mormons ,however the JW`s are the most damaging.
The above graphic is yours and not - from the WTB&TS ,that`s excellent MCL.
Now ,if i could I would put up that same graphic you have put up and said ,
YOU are the PROOF THAT EVOLUTION IS A FACT AND IS TRUE
Do you see what I am getting at ? Where i am coming from ?
What you have stated does not prove anything of the sort .
just read article today blood plasma from recovered corona patients to be transfused into the seriously ill to see if antibodies in the blood can help.. i guess if your a witness you can just pray and write your will..
Could they rationalize that as not being whole blood, but a fraction of blood , so its OK to take it ?
so, if you expect to find 'saints' with halos, you will never find real christians.. after over 30 years of being a jw, there are many things about the org that disturb me- yet no one else even acknowledges the only true god, as jesus referred to him.. not a 'they' or 'them' ('trinity')- but him!and he has always had the name jehovah (yehovah in hebrew)- even though the koine greek had no version of it when the nt was written.. so among the many things real christians have to endure- is often each other!

MCL ,Do you believe "all scripture is inspired of God and beneficial teaching,for reproving,for setting things straight,for disciplining in righteousness " 2 Tim.3:16
I presume you do, then why haven`t the Bible writers ,Apostles ,Disciples ,not to forget Jesus Christ himself ever uttered the name / word Jehovah / Yehovah under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in recording the Christian Greek Scriptures .?
Where as over 20 times in the C.G.S. written under Holy Spirit the writers admonish Christians / followers of Jesus Christ to be witnesses of him and not Jehovah.
Phil.2:10 "in the name of Jesus every knee should bend" as in worship and not to Jehovah. "and God gave him a name that is above every other name " including that name of Jehovah.
These are God`s words written down by men under the direction of Holy Spirit .
"Aid To Bible Understanding" Acknowledges Yahweh is probably the more correct pronunciation of Gods name .
And that they chose Jehovah because it was the most popular name in use.
I was 52 when I left after 32 years in .
yes, i listened to it.
my sister has received the invite to watch this from a hopeful relative.
it's been talked about here and on reddit.
Can someone tell me what the WT/JW definition of "Soon" is ? also the definition of "Imminent " is ?
"Just around the corner" maybe a little harder ? and what about the latest ? "the last of the last days "?
I attend Catholic services occasionally, and have gotten involved in several of their volunteer endeavors such as helping children dealing with problems, assisting elderly ones , and by experiencing the results from these opportunities I'm learning to develop my own personal relationship with God.
Good for you ,you have a caring attitude ,you care for people.
Many of these religions Catholic and protestant have programs that assist and help those less fortunate for one reason or another ,and even if it is a fault of their own bad choices they will still give a helping hand for these ones to help them .
NOT JEHOVAH`S WITNESSES , they are so Judgemental and uncarring for their fellow humans.
All they want is the destruction of 8+ billion people so they can sit under a grapevine and pet pandas.
hello everyone i pray and hope all of the members are well and doing good in this time.
stay safe and remember the toilet paper.
anyway on to my review or aka critique of part 1 of this video, midweek meeting for the jehovah witnesses for the 03/23/2020.
Hotpepper, Try getting 110% out of a pint of beer mate ,i`ve tried it and it can`t be done as much as i`d like it to be .
Sorry bro ,I couldnt resist it .
let's count the ways the wts.
has been scamming the rank and file jws, over the years.
i'll start .
At all of their Conventions ,whether it be Circuit , District ,National or International ,they always had a part on the program about 2/3 rds of the way into the program dealing with expenses and the cost of putting this on.
And they were always in a deficit ,then they would give Bible accounts of how the lords people would give generously without holding back so that their would be an overflowing of $$$$$$$$$$
