Here is a horrible picture of their prophesied Armageddon featured in a September 1, 1997 page 23 Watchtower magazine:

It also warns, “The fact that these dramatic events could begin to occur tomorrow should affect everything we do or plan to do.”
Another magazine the cover of the May 22, 1994 Awake! magazine showing photos of 26 children, with the caption: "Youths Who Put God First." Inside the magazine glorifies Witness children who died supporting WTS policy. They say that the children died for God, but the Watchtower society would in fact allow blood fractions years later that might have saved these children's lives.

To any Jehovah’s Witness trolls that post I’m lying or ‘Slander’, checkout the magazines for yourselves. I am speaking absolute truth.
I’m sorry but I wouldn’t let my kids die just because an organization that’s had so many changes in their policies says they are directed by God.

No, as a Christian, I can't be bothered by their false propaganda.

"No don't take their magazines, that's how they pay for their religion"
What nonsense. For one thing, JWs don't even charge people for them...it's very rare they even get a donation.
It's the members who donate the most.
Ole Baby B - Would you rather JWs show pictures of HELL?
Do you go to bed before 9pm before the disturbing pictures of war come on the news?
As regards the blood transfusion mag, some children in that magazine were going to die no matter what happened...the transfusions would only prolong their lives a matter of months. Other teens were told that they would die without blood, taken to court and yet they didn't die.
To all doubting people, read the magazines themselves and judge for yourself - don't let people who were "expelled" from the religion put their false slant on things.

No one has ever died "supporting WTS policy". Those poor children died as result of their various illnesses and injuries. They are commended in the magazine for their faithfulness in obeying the Biblical command to "abstain from blood".

Just who are you comparing with JWs?
Have you ever seen pictures of hell in Catholic museums?
That'll give you nightmares for a month! They teach anyone who doesnt make it to heaven gets BURNED ALIVE FOR ETERNITY. That seems pretty much a million times worse than getting killed once and being asleep forever. Anyway, war is ugly, do you want to ban all images of war?
JWs have powerful convictions. Thousands of JWs died in Nazi camps instead of signing a paper than they wouldn't be JWs anymore. You propaply would have agreed to anything the Nazis asked, right?
There are things I'd die for that I hope my kid had the courage to die for. I'd rather die than betray my country to terrorists. I'd rather die than use an abortion's stem cells. I'd rather die of kidney failure than steal kidneys from some poor immigrant. I'm not a JW yet, but already I'd die before I took blood.
You may think your own self is the most important thing, but don't mock people who believe we are more than walking talking fornicating meat.
It hurts to get disfellowshipped. Get over it. Get right with God and put this anti-JW foolishness behind you.

I do accept their magazines just because of the pictures. I use them in some of the art work that I make. The Watchtower is a valuable resource for that.

Yep, they've been constantly sadistic since they learned to draw.
To "Me": I read that book too when I was a child -- "From Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained." I learned after I became a witness that it had been written in simple language to appeal to illiterates in various cultures that I won't name here... They haven't changed... just updated their technology. Black and white was bad enough. Full color just gives them the excuse to reprint their same old stuff. Again. And SOMEONE pays for it, whether they "give" it away at the door or not.

i am m not a Jehovah witness so i don't really know what they use a a justification for refusing blood transfusions... although as a Christian i can say that the life of my children as well as mine are precious. Jesus teaches us, to love ourselves.
how is refusing a blood transfusion any different from committing suicide? how is it different from the terrorist that commit self sacrifices with bombs in the name of Allah? how is not allowing your child to have a blood transfusion any different from having an abortion or committing a murder?
i would really like to know the answer...

That picture..It reminds me of the Paradise book I had to read over and over as a child..being raised as a JW..They had that picture..very simular in it..
They prey on fear..but they will not admitt it..That religion has screwed up my entire family...and many , many others.
How did you find these pictures? I would love to have the link.

Jehovah witnesses finance their organization through their magazines. With out the magazines, they will go bankrupt. They don't ask money from their members

Heck no! The magazines are additions to Scripture!
You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. Deut. 4:2
What part of the verse above do they not understand?! It's pretty clear to me!
Not only that, they show pics in their magazines of churches burning. It's just a combination of Islamonazism!
The gates of hell WILL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST THE CHURCH!
And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. Matt. 16:18
