  "A number of publishers have telephoned the branch office regarding certain recordings of Kingdom songs sung in a popular style that are presently being circulated among Jehovah's Witnesses. They wonder if these recordings have the organization's approval. We are aware of these recordings and would like to inform you that they do not have our approval. Please do not circulate or download these recordings from the Internet. We trust this information will clarify matters."

  LOL, these sound cringingly funny, anyone heard them?

  Radio4 (UK). Tonights show is all about 'Jehovah's Witnesses and the blood transfusion issue'.

  20:00 Inside the Ethics Committee1/3. Every day, life or death decisions are being made in hospitals all over the country by clinical ethics committees. In this series, Vivienne Parry is joined by a panel of experts including health professionals, religious leaders, philosophers and lawyers.

  Each week, a new case is put in front of the ethics committee and they examine personal testimonies from patients, relatives and medical staff. As the panel gradually unravels the evidence, they test the moral foundation of how decisions are made in hospitals every day.

  [Rptd Sat 10.15pm]

  Edited : Use the following link to listen to the show live from anywhere (hopefully!) in the world. The show is on at 3pm (only 20 mins!) New York time.

  hey gang!

  SNG, thanks for these great articles....
  

  tijkmo,

  How about a creator of the first basic organism which had an ability to evolve, and was then LEFT to evolve? To me, that would explain the apparent evolved links between all lifeforms, AND the (to me also) impossibility of evolution. Of course, the creation account in Genesis would have to be thrown out, but I never did believe the bible as God's word anyway.

  Just my 2 cents.....

  Yep, "Desperate Housewives" for me and the missus too. Except I usually miss it and end up downloading it a few episodes at a time to watch all at once.

  Oh, and ER for the wife. She started watching it when a lot of people stopped watching after George Clooney had left (including her sister) and never misses it now.

  EDIT: Aaaarrgghhh! How could I forget "Most Haunted". Although I will admit I mostly watch it now to see who Derek Acorah will be possessed by this week.

  How many of the public go to the Public Talk?

  by truthseeker in

  2. friends

  if you're still going to meetings, how many of the public actually go to the public talk?

  or do you see the same old tired worn faces?.

  in my hall, you never see a member of the public just come in and say, i'd like to stay and hear this talk.. was there ever a time when complete strangers would just come in, sit down and actually listen?.

  I only ever saw one member of the public at the public talk. It was about 1990 and the guy (about 20 yrs old, new age looking) was walking past the hall as we were turning to walk up the drive. He must have noted our cool threads, because he asked where we were going, and when my mum told him he asked if he could come along. He explained that he was on his way to church (Latter-day Saints, I think it was).
  Well, he sat through the public talk, (can't remember the subject) and then the Watchtower meeting, received the requisite love bombing and walked towards home with us. I left him at the corner of our house with mum trying to answer his questions on certain matters from the NWT (and struggling, I think). I was about 14 at the time and just wanted to get out of my meeting garb, but I wish now that I'd stayed and listened to them.

  The guy can't have found much to interest him anyway, cause we never saw him again.

  sorry, i don't want this to sound like a "woe is me" thread, but i just wanted to know of any positive or negative experiences with counselling....i've been offered it before but have put it off, and off (and off).

  today i have a doctor's appointment and am going to request it......but i'm a little wary of the thought.
