ex-elders: how long do they keep disfellowshipping files on record?
by kid-A ini recall at my old kh a locked and ominous steel filing cabinet in the basement library containing manila folder files for each disfellowshipping case that had taken place in the congregation.
i found this out when an elder carelessly left this filing cabinet open during a meeting and i had wandered into the library during a fit of boredom.
being 11 years old, of course i read them!!!

Watchtower-Lite: the dilution of theology?
by kid-A inremember the 90 year old dubs in your hall that would always have some answer at the study full of the weird old russell-rutherford era theology?
you know, all the different "classes", weird watchtower terminology, "scarlet coloured harlot" , "sounding of the 10 horns" etc etc and you would be sitting there thinking wtf????.
comparing the old school witnesses to the "witness-lite" of today, would you agree that at least that old school theology had some more substantive attempts at theology.....flipping through a recent wt i was struck by the complete fluff that filled the pages from start to finish....do you think this dilution of theology is intentional or have they just completely run out of theological steam, as it were?

Lurkers in love with JWs.....NOW is the time to run!
by kid-A ini have noticed a steady stream of recent newbie posts from non-jws "in love" with active jws.
welcome to jwd and its great that you have found this resource.. as one other poster put it, its equivalent of dialing 9-1-1. a couple pertinent points to consider before pursuing the relationship further:.
1) you probably wouldnt have found this site if you did not harbour serious doubts about the watchtower religion.

organ transplant "contracts" proposed for JWs that refuse blood
by kid-A insome interesting points raised in this article by bramstedt: should organs be provided to jws who choose to risk the success of the operation by refusing blood?
should a non-jw's organs be transplanted into a jw that is willing to risk the outcome of the procedure by refusing blood, versus giving the organ to a non-jw, where blood transfusions will be permitted?
from: journal of medical ethics 2006;32:193-195transfusion contracts for jehovahs witnesses receiving organ transplants: ethical necessity or coercive pact?
