Wow BOC, this is a GREAT thread, I'm in a very similar situation to you in that those TWO EXACT things have been brought up by my missus too in defense of the troof.

The responses posted above are REALLY interesting, thanks to all for your efforts, you're not just helping BOC you know!

I'am in the Penalty Box! I asked the Circuit Overseer "Who Donates Blood For Jehovah's Witnesses Blood Fragments".

by AuntConnie in

told my husband to put a muzzle on my mouth over the blood dogma.

we all were driving around in field service when the topic of "which fragments would you take if you were in a car accident or cut yourself badly".

said his choice is a personal one, another sister with chronic health problems said she had no problem with the governing body's new light on taking various fragments.

i am a newbie to ttatt.

i have been reading your posts for a few months and joined in a few times.

thank you so much for taking the time to write you experiences it really helps us newly awakened ones.. so here is my story........ my name is 70wksfyrs and me and my kids are victims of domestic violence at the hands of a so called jw.

Captain Blithering

Not been there matey, I hope it never comes to that for me.

Clearly they're not guided by HS, and equally clearly you're doing the right thing for you, I know not everyone would be able to stomach kowtowing to these increasingly spurious demands..

Hope you're successful bud, keep pretending!

The WT study yesterday

by molybdenum in

( apologies for the large space at the top i don't quite know why .

i sat through the wt study that dealt with all the new understanding.. the conductor started by by saying .

well we wont spend too much time on what we used to believe, we will consider what we believe now.. i took a look round to see how the members of the congregation were reacting to this.. nothing.... .

Captain Blithering

Ours said EXACTLY the same thing, "we won't spend much time on what we USED to believe", with the caveat that he didn't want to get us confused and go home remembering the wrong thing!

I had a great answer lined up about the old light, but he skimmed over it dead quickly..

Why would they mention the 'old light'?

by Captain Blithering in

i don't get why they opened the article 'when will these things be' by using old old light not believed since the late 60's?

.

seems a bit idiotic to draw attention to past mistakes that are long forgotten in the minds of the r&f, as opposed to stuff that is fairly recent that has warranted 're-examination'.

Suggested Comments

hello all,.

.

are there any suggested comments to give in the wt study today that wont give away that i know ttatt, but will open the eyes of other jws?.

Captain Blithering

This is a great thread for sure!

Not in a "I can't be bothered to sort it out myself" kinda way, but just because we've all got a different angle, or different way of explaining it, and if we pool our resources we could come up with some doozies that might make our other halves or individuals(friends in the cong who might value what we say) THINK a little.

coming great tribulation.

Captain Blithering

Thanks for your hard work blondie, for people like myself who might be struggling to see past the DECADES of ingrained forced thinking, you bring out the logical fallacies, errors, and contradictions that we're TRAINED NOT TO SEE.

And thanks for posting this one before the study, it really helped..

Oh the irony!

by Captain Blithering in

hahaa, ive gotta do a demo this week about responding to the question 'are jw's false prophets'?

.

shall i throw in a couple more arguments than the o es i'm given?......

Captain Blithering

Tough talk to listen to without shaking my head vigorously and tutting.

Fun demo though. Apart from the claptrap explanation of over eager expectations...

Boy who cried wolf anyone?
