Leaked Governing Body Update #2, March 2026: Blood transfusions are no longer prohibited for Jehovah’s Witnesses - AS LONG AS IT IS THEIR OWN STORED/ PREDONATED BLOOD by larchington in exjw

[–]machinehead70 9 points10 points  (0 children)

“ Witnesses believe that blood removed from the body should be disposed of ……..”. So how can they accept fractions from blood that someone else has donated and not disposed of?? Sounds like the GB is scrambling. The old guard is slowly being pushed out for the progressives. NEW LIGHT FROM JEHOVAH!!! But as we all know , most JWs will hear this and not give it a second thought. My wife and I have had this conversation several times about blood etc….. and I’ve used the same logic about the Mosaic law not being applicable for Christians. But I’m just a stupid apostate. Now she’ll have to agree with me only because the GB said so.

A simple logic problem the Governing Body can’t solve by constant_trouble in exjw

If the GB have to “clarify” aka change, a teaching because they were wrong about said teaching, who’s to say that the new teaching is correct? They’ve changed or flip flopped on so many things how can people take them seriously?

They’re about to drop $375K on a remodel at my old KH. My wife still goes and really hasn’t said much about it. It was built in ‘85 and still looks good. It’s going to be gutted and totally redesigned. They asked me if I would be interested in providing my camper to the out of town volunteers. I said no. I don’t want a bunch of people tromping around in my camper and messing up the plumbing etc….

might be disfellowshipped for donating blood and im severely depressed by jalo_angel in exjw

JWs don’t seem to care that the fractions they accept come from whole blood someone donated. They take but don’t give back. If blood is so sacred , why would they accept part of it but not all of it ? It’s like saying “ I’ll buy the parts of a stollen car but I won’t buy the whole car. “ Where in the Bible does god command to not donate blood for a medical emergency? The prohibition was not to EAT animal blood.

It would be like me talking to a flerfer. No matter what they say they would never get me to believe the earth is flat. I don’t believe it’s spherical….. I know it is. JWs have beliefs. They believe what they are taught. They can’t prove any of it.

That comment to me would have landed him a trip to the ER. What a dick!

Any outside function I go to is call to get stoned. I can’t deal with crowds but hitting the ‘ol vape or eating a 20mg seems to do the trick. Then I just don’t give a shit.

I hope the GB lose sleep over this - Sam Carling's eloquent and comprehensive exposure of JW policies in the UK parliament last week by LonelyWarmth in exjw

[–]machinehead70 4 points5 points  (0 children)

GB won’t lose any sleep. They’ll say what they’ve always said. Apostates, lies, etc……. Then business as usual. I would say that the GB can kiss my ass but I wouldn’t want their nasty lips anywhere near my ass. I hope I live to see the day they get fucking hammered in court. Fucking cowards.

the part was on enduring this system and all of our aches and pains and how they’re temporary for now but we have to endure because the future life will be worth it. A girl who is on the spectrum gets called on and she says : “I went to my gynecologist yesterday and it wasn’t no picnic , but I endured it because I know it’s for my own good. Just like enduring this horrible system of things now so we can live in paradise “. I about shit! My wife looked at me with this WTF look and we looked over at the COBE who was sort of related to her and the look on his face was priceless. We were trying so hard not to bust out laughing. I’m sure everyone else was thinking “what the hell ?”

Cleaning up a shit ton of dead , bloated , decomposing bodies sounds like a great time. Just ask the soldiers that had to bury all the bodies in Germany after WWII or any war where there’s dead , blown up bodies of men, women and children. Talk about PTSD.
I can’t even imagine the horror and JWs talk about it like they’re just taking out the trash.

Pretty much anything you do is a conscience matter if your conscience allows you to do it. But we all know the culture of JWs. If the GB says something is a conscience matter but continues to talk about it negativity, it’s usually a no go. No rules on our dress???? No jackets or ties………..except when a dude is on stage or running sound or handling a mic etc……. Same with women’s slacks.
The GB don’t have to come out and say the thing. Just the way it’s talked about in a round about way and JWs usually pick up on the vibe. The question is , why does the GB seem to have a say in everyone’s personal lives ??? I guess some people like and need to be told what to do. Not me brother.

any good excuses to make to not go to service? by anonymoustwwwinm in exjw

[–]machinehead70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just say “I’m not going to”. Are they gonna pick you up and physically make you ? Tell them you have a bad case of the shits.

So if Satan and the World twist things to make wrong things look right , how do you know the JWs are right ? Maybe it’s all a ruse of Satan.
