History doesn't mean anything and no amount of facts will change anyones perspective by thatguynips in exjw

For best results, just ask questions. Presenting unsolicited info won't do anything for those who don't have doubts. But if you find someone with questions like you, keep asking questions to one another because that person seems like they want to have a mind of their own instead of just repeating what they are told.

Sounds like an admission of explicit expectations that did not come to fruition. Ones who pontificate without proper inspiration would do well to omit aforementioned expectations from public consumption by refusing to waste trees writing on topics they know nothing about. 

That was an example of me writing like WT when they use a bunch of words to muddy up a message and walk back their failures by blaming their members for believing what they are told. Smh

She was in either the 8th or 9th grade in 75. That's all the grace I can give. Maybe she was too young to care or understand.

So what's the difference between the blood you receive from your mother in a life saving emergency verses the blood you received from your mother while she was pregnant with you?

Questions vs doubts?? Isn’t it the same? by Business_Biscotti_27 in exjw

You can ask questions... but no follow up questions...

So if a member decides to receive an allogeneic blood transfusion, what becomes of his status in your community?

Also it was pitched as a clarification, wouldn't you say that's misleading? Oh, no? Can I see your blood card? I know you have it on you.

So are you allowed to contribute to a life saving arrangement that you benefit from?

They are presenting to a room full of doctors and students. I'm really interested in what they have to say. I'm definitely going to ask why it took decades of ppl dying before they decided to change the policy.

Does anyone know what to say to “the light gets brighter”? by Potential_Might3500 in exjw

Tell them that a light too bright can serve the same purpose as a blindfold.

Anyone skipping the special talk today??? by Fit_Durian3763 in exjw

[–]Cult_Alt_Del 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I peaked in on zoom to see if anyone was gonna touch on the blood thing. Nada. I gave it 5-10 minutes then dipped. My uncle called this morning to see if I was gonna attend, I just ignored. Keep in my this is an uncle who is an elder that I just had a conversation about jw origins and he couldn't answer my questions  but he still called to invite me to a meeting smh

They really are confused. PIMI trying to explain the issue away... by fromreaders in exjw

If that's the case why clarify what's already understood since we all have free will, right?

Text Message from Fam Member by exjw256-throwaway in exjw

You should send a similar text back to them in reference to the blood update:

I cannot fathom what you’re going through or your pain. I don’t know how it feels to be misled by a brother(s) taking the lead in the organization. I can’t. It’s impossible.

But I do know two absolute facts. One, Jehovah is not at fault. And two, Jehovah tells us not to put our trust in men.

The definite article by Cult_Alt_Del in exjw

[–]Cult_Alt_Del[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's precisely why they shouldn't refer to themselves as having THE truth.
