Is the WTS still a UN NGO?
by Quandary ini recently had a confidential conversation with a former elder who stepped down because of his disenchantment with all the recent scandals (paedophilia,blood,un etc...) and he mentioned that he had heard from a reliable source that the wts is still a ngo with the un but under a different name.
i asked if he could find out the name of the corporation they were using and he said he would try to do so and get back to me.
has anyone else heard anything similar?

# of weekly meetings-down to 2?
by Quandary inwe recently had the visit of the co, during the elders meeting he addressed his concern over the decline in meeting attendance, especially for the tms & sm.
our particular congregation saw a decline of 30% from his last visit 6 months ago.
in a private conversation with him i asked if our congregation was unique in this regard and he said no, some congregations have seen a much higher percentage of decline, 50-60%.

Reasoning on use of Blood to safe lives!
by Quandary ini don't post very often on this board and when i do i'm quite laconic.
it's my nature, im a person of few yet concise words.
that being said i would like to share my brief thoughts on the blood issue as i see it.. all jws are familiar with the words at luke 22:20 as they are read ritually every memorial: " ...this cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood, which is to be poured out in your behalf.".
