WHEN WAS THE VERY LAST ARTICLE ON BLOOD IN EITHER THE WATCHTOWER OR THE AWAKE?
by steve2 inthere's been a buzz on this forum - on and off but currently on - that there has not been an article in any watchtower publication on the blood ban for a while - which feeds speculation that the organization is distancing itself from this doctrinal absurdity.
does that mean there's been nothing mentioned about the blood doctrine for months or years?
specifically, when did the watchtower last mention the blood ban?

JW.org shows that the society doesn't really want to talk to people who aren't witnesses
by Skinnedsheep ini find it fascinating to see how quickly the society has about faced on the use of the internet.
interestingly they still have not adopted two way communication channels such as facebook, twitter, instagram.
etc.. if you are lurking....why do you think that is?

I know 2 of the Elders on the Ray Franz JC
by James Jackson inwhen i read coc, i was stunned that the 2 elders (theotis french & rob dibble) were on ray franz judcial committee.
i have known these men for over 20 years having done rbc and convention work with them.
they are still elders today which means they were in their early 30's(which is unheard of for a case of this importance to have inexperienced elders to sit on) on this committee.. without revealing myself, i have never tried(but have wanted to), ask them about their on having to judge a former gb member.. then out of the blue, about a year ago, i was mentioning how hard it is trying to get younger ones to volunteer to one of these elders, and he says"this is nothing compared to to sitting on the committee that had to disfellowship ray franz".

Why Do JWs Think Bankruptcy Is Not Wrong? Does Pioneering Blot out Theft?
by BucketShopBill ini mentioned a few elders on one of the highest viewed judicial committee videos filed bk, one of them has done it 3 times and feels no remorse!
my post is not to attack people who really need to avail themselves of a legal process because bad things happen to good people.
the economic climate had and can change radically!

Kingdom Halls Are the Perfect Safe Harbor For Pedophiles and Sex Offenders!
by BucketShopBill inwhy is the kingdom hall of jehovahs witnesses perfectly suited for pedophiles and sex offenders to park their boat (bodies)?
i live by the coastal area of one of the windiest and treacherous waters ships sail through.
during the spanish expansion they lost their share because the captains did not realize how unforgiving the tempestuous winds and strong current was.

Some EXJW blogs are more controlling than the WT!
by BucketShopBill inthe owners of jehovahs-witness.net are very honest and decent individuals, he and she allow freedom of speech and the allowance of exchanging ideas.
this is not the case with other active and ex-jw information sites (won't post them, you know who they are) that refuse our allowance to disagree or point out their chronic slanted and often distorted perspective.
the watchtower provides us with enough material there is no reason we need to twist their material.

Theory on the real reason WT wants youth to put service ahead of caring for elderly family....
by EndofMysteries inthe generation of the 'creators promise' that wouldn't die until the new world is now becoming elderly, they are broke, hadn't saved for retirement, and need help.. there hasn't been real growth, the growth is mostly born ins and born ins children (population growth), those who didn't listen to the advice to not have kids.. suddenly, the overlapping 2nd generation started slacking on their field service to take care of their parents.
the gb were insulted that the numbers were dropping and noticing that soon nobody would be going door to door because all who can would be taking care of their broke, elderly parents who couldn't afford retirement or proper care.. the gb though know that they are higher than god and jesus and they should not be expected to not have all the luxuries of life, first class flights, etc, so they issue new orders that the younger ones are not to put aside their peddling of their literature to care for the elderly parents.
the eldery were too presumptuous and looked too deep into things.

Full-time service is MORE IMPORTANT than taking care of elderly parents!!! It says so in the Sept 2014 WT
by EndofMysteries inparagraph 20 out of the article in the sept 2014 study wt about fulltime service says this.... .
"full-time servants age, and so do their parents.
when parents are witnesses, likely their fondest wish is for their children to stay in their assignments.
