if you wondered whether the society would print blood cards this year, they won't.
blood cards are out.. consider the box found on the december km, entitled "new provision to assist us to abstain from blood".
the governing body has approved combining the essential elements of the durable power of attorney (dpa) document and the advance.
if any new "procedures" become acceptable and listed on the DPA, etc., etc.
I wonder if they will list Hemopure and Polyheme as being acceptable for a good dub??
After all what problem could there be with cow's blood changed into a "blood substitute" by the miracle of modern medicine.
I would like to query the HLC with regards to the use of these substitutes and then present the "facts" to my wife if she wishes to have me sign a DPA for her. Maybe it will make her think....NOT

Any relation to our beloved governing body member?
Oh Winston...the mind boggles,
This would be a really sweet little scandel exposed if a connection with the GB could be proved.
has anyone here ever appealed their disfellowshipping?
how did it work out?.
also, has anyone ever contested the appeal committee's decision to uphold the disfellowshipping?
I think everyone should appeal....after all god is directing this process..Right
i don't know about the rest of you but i seem to see newbies popping up all over the place.
i love it.
i think it would be helpful to have a new listing for newbies to introduce themselves.would there be any problems with this and would it help or hinder the board?
I don't know about the rest of you but I seem to see newbies popping up all over the place. I love it. I see comments in threads that show someone just signed up but sometimes these posts get buried very quickly.Do the newbies really feel welcomed ??

hi there everyone, my name is treefrog and i am new to this site.
i am a roman catholic so i feel like i'm entering the lion's den here, but not to worry.
i hope to share my beliefs with you all regarding our saviour, jesus christ.. i hope to shine a light into your organisation (if jesus christ couldn't, how can i expect to!
when a company is on strike and employees picket outside the building with signs, do witness employees participate in any way?
usually there is a strike fund for those who picket.
what about the witnesses, how do they proceed when their company is on strike, and do they get the same amount of money as the others who picket?.
He may be a member, but he would not accept an official position or engage in picketing or otherwise agitating for the cause of a strike
As far as I know this is still the official position in Canada. In the event of a strike you would not cross a picket line (scab) but you would not be ON the picket line either. If you are not on the picket line the union will not pay you strike pay but there are no other sanctions involved.
I decided to support my union the last time we were on strike and walk the picket line. It felt good. No elder ever questioned me about it either and that felt even better.
Yet, if my memory serves me correctly, JWs are no strangers to political activism. I believe they demonstrated en masse in NYC to get one of their pet Brooklyn Heights construction projects approved (then-mayor Ed Koch is reported to have said ``look down there at those people; not a vote among them"). And also in France, to protest the tax ruling.
When they have their interests at stake then any and all protests are O.K. What the HELL ever happened to the old "wait on jehovah" BS
my son answered the door this morning.
the couple that my mr.horton and i had been studying with when we were considering going back to the truth finally got ahold of him.
the did the usual routine.
Pioneer (reads over his shoulder): I think we're okay. This doesn't apply. It says "polyester suits." Mine is 100% wool, how about you?Elder (opens jacket, looks at label): Yeah, me too.
Sorry... This could never happen.How many Dub's do you know that could afford more than a poly suit.
The DA that I "dropped" my wife at this year was a procession of bros with cheap suits...sad
Make sure you keep your child out of the control of this CULT !!!!
.
my brother, my sister, myself, xena and those with us walked out when we were called aside and asked not to attend the reception after the memorial.. more details to follow....... timb
They sure show LOVE by their actions. They are forced to allow you to be at the memorial,being open to the public and all....BUT they shut the gate at the reception.Only true believers get to go there.
The memorial you privately held with only those close to your mother is far more meaningful than anything the cong could ever do.

blood cards are out.. consider the box found on the december km, entitled "new provision to assist us to abstain from blood".
the governing body has approved combining the essential elements of the durable power of attorney (dpa) document and the advance.
Remember non-JWs, this is not a WTS document and covers more issues than blood transfusion, such as DNR and organ donation/transplants.
It seems like an attempt to make JW's seem more main stream.The blood card always looked and felt like a cult thing. I cringed everytime my wife opened her wallet at a store because it was displayed so prominently at the front. DPA's on the other hand are used all the time by people to record their wishes about medical and health issues and how these should be dealt with.LOOK....LOOK..We are not a cult....Honest.
