  Accepting blood transfusions. By which instrument it ceased to be a disfellowshipping offense to become cause for disassociation?

  ok, i know the story of how it went, with the deal they reached with the bulgarian government, etc.

  i know.. what i need to know is if there is an internal document that redefines willingly taking blood as a disfellowshipping offense into a cause for disassociation.

  a letter from the branch?

  Really important point by Diogenesister - DA is harsher in the sense that there’s no procedure for appeal in that outcome compared with DFing.

  for those still interested in lloyd's fall from grace, i made up a chart of my own.

  april 2023 is when he put out his "things are bad" tin cup begging video, and he got a small surge to 592 on the 13th of that month.

  i'm also using his all-time peak of 897 from november 2022.. for march, we're gonna say a modest -15, putting him at 352. i'm also curious as to when he might hit 300 and then 200. if he keeps up with an average of -20 every month, he'll be at less than 190 before the end of this year.. happy guessing everyone..

  Yup, definitely. He’ll be collecting money from strangers even if his channel disappears altogether. No shame.

  Black penis and other subliminal messages on song book

  by Mikejw in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i’m sure this has been covered in the past but there are a lot of videos appearing lately bringing this up again.. this chap phoned bethel in london about it and as soon as he said song book the service desk said i’m hanging up now.

  they obviously know about it.. https://youtu.be/0dn-gj73r5u?si=ao4cd-0rpg7rv3ws.

  so was there some pimos in the art department or was it more sinister and this organisation wanted to but pedo messages on the song book a bit like the demonic hand in the rev book?.

  I’m pretty sure it’s two women on the cover at 23 minutes. Why do either of them have to be a man? Just because a person wears masculine clothes doesn’t mean they are a man. In your own video Mike says he is wearing a woman’s blouse, that doesn’t make Mike a woman does it?

  From what I gather, a common practice was for elders to write the new instructions in the margin of their copies and then get the new edition next time it was updated.

  I think it was just the elder’s book that was updated and blood transfusion was moved from the DFing section to the DA section along with things like joining the military or another church. I don’t know if the change was ever actually made clear to regular publishers. But I too would be interested to see if others know of other documents on the subject.

  Faithful Slave Appointment: What are the assumptions of Watchtower Matthew 24:45-47 Eschatology?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower

  text: matthew 24:45-47.

  45 “who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time?

  46 it will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

  When I was young in the 1980s the meanings of the words “generation”, “anointed” and “faithful slave” were pretty straight forward and easily explained. Now each of those terms is liable to induce a headache if I dwell on the official explanations too long.

  my story of an innocent father where two entire communities of jehovah’s witnesses under the guidance of the warwick usa headquarters were supported by two bodies of elder’s in an endeavor to destroy me!

  i was part of the biggest investigation in the west midlands by the cid.

  interpol, brussels and the south africa government were involved.

  He has highlighted a number of truths and has more integrity than the Governing Body, regardless.
  

  Hypocrisy, bullying, abuse, greed, disregard for others, all on frequent display. But “integrity”? What do you have in mind as instances of “integrity” from LE? I’m curious!

  I’ve sometimes given myself a strange chuckle thinking what would be the reaction if I attended a KH unknown to me and started raising my hands in the air while singing the kingdom songs with enthusiasm. On the one hand there is nothing wrong with singing with enthusiasm, right? On the other hand, the gesture of raising your hands during song is so contrary to JW culture because it evokes a charismatic style of worship that is alien to JWs. The appearance of someone who knows the kingdom songs raising hands would be so jarring I wonder if an attendant might even intervene.

  Thanks, yes always bad to take LE’s word for it.

  I do have some familiarity with Amazon. What I think LE perhaps meant was that he felt constrained by the incentive structure to price below a certain level. These levels change, but generally Amazon like to get self publishers to price as low as possible and they set their commission structure to reflect this. As I understand it Amazon don’t tell self publishers exactly what they can charge but what they do is make it unattractive to price above certain levels because the cut Amazon takes rises steeply, or you miss certain benefits if you price outside their range. And of course LE wouldn’t like being told or pressured by anyone what to do, especially when it comes to curbing his ability to price gauge his customers. It’s probably the closest he’s come to an employer/employee relationship and he didn’t like it.
