Courz:

They are finding it very hard to accept the new update. It is shocking after thousands have died. They are choosing to misinterpret and scatter everything to console themselves. The Governing Body member in this update clearly spoke English but since they were banned from University education, they seem not to understand English. . I don't think somee have watched this update before commenting.

When u are in a cult like JW and Islam …. Wateva religious leaders say is final….even if the context if ur religious text says different….

Thats how they misinterpreted praying in the closet.. i asked one of them yesterday i hope they all have closet ooooo….

Oga, that label no concern JW's.
The screenshot says something else.


As for the matter of prayer,we follow Jesus instruction & example.
Matt 6:4-9. Omo,in your closet.
Also, Matt 4:17. Matt 5:1-48, Matt 10:5,11-14,what is Jesus example about praying when preaching?
Is Paul's exampe @ Ephesians 3:14-20 how you say "Amen?"
@$ Ephesians 3:14-20,In your Bible ,how many times did Paul say "Amen" when praying?

Eldeedon:
What a big waooo

Now blood transfusion is suddenly safe! As far as is coming from your own body and entering it back

Praise governing body

chimex38:
Storing ones blood for transfusion is not accepted Thursday 19th March 2026.

Storing ones blood for transfusion is now accepted..Friday 20th March 2026.

Is that not a doctrinal change and adjustment?-

Accept there's been a change
. You gain more respect and dignify yourself and your organization the more.

Why this desperation to defend?

chimex38:
If with all the knowledge of Bible, one couldn't come up with this adjustments until the Governing Body said so?
Why should I pay attention to any of your teachings if I disagree with anyone..
I will rather wait for your Governing body, since one seem inertly incapable.

Cuz some changes will come in future and I bet they as members won't be able to figure it out through their study before time. But you all will rush to defend the change when it's out..
Yet the people you preach too and try to convert have revealed these things out a lot of times through insight from God before your Governing body..

It means God is with them also. Cuz the changes they are making aren't unique but belated.

Means some aren't capable of independent study to arrive at their own convictions. they only make sure you arrive at the conviction of the general bodys publications consciously or unconsciously without realising it...

Emusan:
The whole online fuss is that the same Watchtower who claimed to be the mouthpiece of Jehovah and being directed by Jehovah, Jesus & an active force. Said in year 2000 that STORING BLOOD is against GOD'S LAW but this month after PRAYER and scriptural consideration STORING BLOOD is now allowed.

If you can't see difference, then nobody can help you.

Eldeedon:
Yes oo! The video says otherwise.

The 2000 publication you are quoting makes it very clear that, you guys should abstain from taking blood, whether you own the blood or not they don't care, as far as it's out of your body you can't take it in! Are you dyslexic? This same Watchtower quoted in the video? -Check picture for reference.

But, this video update said you can now take blood if you want to as long as you are the one who owns the blood no issue again!!! When was it ever an issue? Personal decision has always existed in their beliefs since 2000s, 90s, 80s, 70s as far back as I can remember.

So, as you can see, they are two different thing.. infact that's what English people call change I've asked you once did you think 2000 was the first time they discussed the issue or that they've not touched on that issue since 2000? Like your mind is telling you this video is a response or change to a year 2000 article? 🤦🏻‍♂️

I know you lack the capacity to comprehend all these though, it's not your fault.. Snide remarks. Typical garbage in garbage out response from a living thing that has no valuable input or output to offer. that's how the majority of you guys are.

MaxInDHouse:
Atheists just love deceiving themselves walahi talahi.

You openly confessed i silenced you only to come back now claiming it's not what you mean.

Oya prove it you said you don't have the time but you have all the time to continue arguing aimlessly with people who don't know how to silence you!🙂

Roycemadeit:
Very funny fellow, you just did like y'all do with your bible, cut one part out then try to tell paint a picture that might make some sense... Why didn't you post the whole thing I wrote? Up until now you haven't responded...
Yes, you have silenced me, with facts, of course. You can define knowingness; now try defining belief and faith, and show me how they connect to reality...

Janosky:
What are you really saying ?
Na wa oo !!

When blood was first transfused , where there storage devices for it?
No.
At that time, we held on to Acts 15:28-29 abstinence....
Later, medical science improved & medical storage facilities came up,JW's adapted & 40 yrs ago, JWs said "it's a personal decision " how i want my blood to be handled in the course of my medical procedure (using modern medical facilities).
We adapted to the use of modern medical facilities,we no shift any policy ooo.

You guys are just typing whatever fits your assumptions without proper understanding of the matter.

Janosky:
Oga, for candid appraisal by everyone, pls quote the last 3 paragraphs of this publication you screenshoted.

The conclusion is very different from the edited portion you screenshot .
Why deceive yourself?

Look at the screenshot below,confirm the date ,15th October ,2000 this was a reminder from an older Watchtower publication ..
This update was first communicated in the late 1970/80s .

👇

Previous Premise:.1+1≠2 it's against God's word in the Bible and we as JW do not accept it.

Previous Conclusion: you are free to write any answer as 1+1 as you like.
(but we don't believe in 2)


New Premise:.1+1=2 it's not stated in the Bible that it's against God's word,
we as JW now accept 2 as an answer.

Conclusion: you are free to write any answer as 1+1 as you like (including 2).

Where 2= storing of one's blood and transfusing it back

chimex38:
You are just being desperate..
I hope overtime you will look over it. JW leaders are dignifying themselves at least, you are the one helping then loose their integrity...continue.


If you don't see any change in this, I can't help you. You can hold on to your belief, that's OK.
but you don't speak for other JW alive who may have taken decisions on the lives of others based on this especially underage kindreds.

Nothing wrong in change, it's not exclusive to JW. All religion changes doctrines from time to time.

jmichael259:
Do you mean this same October 15 2000 Watchtower that was highlighted in the video?

You bunch of religious extremists and jw-phobists just can't sit in Sokoto and expect to be telling those in Somalia about what is going on in Mogadishu.
The point I raised is that this announcement is a clarification or reaffirmation of something that has always stood in their beliefs which is that Your own blood and your own therapy = your own decisions.
Online bloggers were rabble rousing as if they have started accepting transfusion or something. Everything said in the video has always stood in-house even before the year 2000.

chimex38:
We are quoting authentic sources, while you are are quoting random opinions on social media..
What an irony, when it should have been the otherway round.
you leave tackling the source of your religious beliefs and focuses on opinions of outsiders for validation ?
You can't think and tackle it yourself?
That's what so called "apostates" do
Are you an apostate?

Like I said in the previous post you quoted, don't act desperate.

chimex38:
I am just using JW as a pointer to other religions as well in general in my right up.

MaxInDHouse:
We are the light of the world {Matthew 5:14-16} that is why you always use us as the highest quality for others to emulate but don't be deceived my guy our God is not the same as the god of all other religions whether you claim Christian or not!

chimex38:

Don't put words in my mouth!!
Endeavour to follow the context of the discuss and write up.

I NEVER USE JW as the HIGHEST QUALITY for others to emulate.
NEVER!!!!

Please can you mention any religion that's performing better as Christians than Jehovah's Witnesses?🙂

I pick from all religion and also question them as well.
I try not to do religion Vs religion argument or me Vs you.
In some cases in few religions there has been reversals. Like some catholics calling Mary mediators of graces and capital punishment, JW on keeping bears by men, RCCG tithing as requirement for heaven, Pastor Damian's several U-turn, UK Anglican and Lutherns on their Homo-ministers role, JW on amaggedon

As for JW.
You need to acknowledge theres a change before defending any other thing.
Don't degrade or dishonor your religion or become too blinded by fanaticism. You uphold the dignity by accepting the obvious.
Even the early churches had to change their laws on circumcision officially, amongst other changes overtime but not recorded. so change is constant.

The problem is what do you make of those who question them before the official release?
What do you make if those who are capable of understanding but prefer to defend the official stance blindly and wholeheartedly or condemn those who question genuinely, only to be shot in the leg?
Doesn't it call for self-introspection?
Enabling one to be attain self conviction outside the religious body even while still being members?
Don't you believe it's a measure and step to reduce blind faith and unwarranted fanaticism, improves openness from people who are capable of independent thought but choose not to?



so you haven't read the article from your website that says storing of one's blood is prohibited and not acceptable compared to the latest clarification...
