Burlington N.C. newspaper does article on JWs and Bood
by THE SHOOTIST inmy uncle told me that the burlington, n.c. daily times news did an extensive article on jws and blood transfusions that was supposed to put them in a negative light.
he said it talked about lots of witnesses dying unnecessarily and law suits.
he has a tendency to exaggerate things, so i'm asking if anyone on the board saw this article and was the article in any of the local newspapers in your areas?

Elders coming over next week to discuss my questions
by Goldminer inthree months ago an elder came to our house to try to answer some of my questions.none were answered to my satisfaction and it was obvious some seemed difficult to him so he said he would do some more research and get back to me.well,last night at the meeting he told my wife that he and another elder would like to come over next week to continue our original conversation.. my wife told them that i didn't really want to be a jw anymore and they said they weren't giving up on me just yet.they also said they like me as a person and i really don't think they want to df me anytime soon as this would be too traumatic to my wife and might push her out of the religion for good.. my plan is to start with the first question and stick to it until it is answered to my satisfaction which i doubt it can be.it is the following:.
where does the bible say that god has an "organization" on earth and uses a governing body to direct it?.
i have some research ready to use but i'd like to ask you if you have any comments or information you'd like to share that i can use in some way.i appreciate all your help on this one and i'll keep you posted on how it goes next week.thank you very much.. goldminer

New Light and Sports
by pratt1 in.
although i am pleased when i hear about children of dubs who are pursuing sports at the high school, college and professionally level, it also disturbs me that so many of us in the past lost out on these opportunities because of the rigid views of the dubdum.. a friend of mine that is still active says that many of these changes or new light occurrs because thinking dubs stand up to the elders and make these personal decisions for their family without the advice of elders.. do you ever feel that you should/could stand up for your beliefs even when they are against the advice of elders, eventually you could inspire change within the religion?.
i ask because through out history change has ocurred because of standing up to those in authority.. examples, gandi, martin luther king, susan b. anthony to name just a few.. what are your thoughts?.

not bitter
by searching4? ini was raised from birth as a jehovah's witness, but have been disfellowshipped for 13 years.
alot of ex- witnesses are bitter and bad mouth the witnesses, but my experience has left me feeling this way: being in the "truth" makes some people happy, and they are truly doing what is right in their own heart, and to condemn them for that is wrong.
as much as we oppose the witnesses and can see the real trurh, everyone is entitled to believe what they choose, and i truly believe that if someone is doing what is right in their heart and it makes them truly happy, then god will love them for the pureness of their heart.
