by dozy inhttp://www.utvlive.com/newsroom/indepth.asp?id=80831&pt=n.
richard parker, a member of the jehovah`s witnesses, says that the refusal of transfusions is one of their fundamental beliefs.

New invitation campaign for District Convention
by dozy inapril km says that there is to be a new campaign again this year - clearly the wts feels that this is the way to go.
i thought that the results last year were quite poor , but apparently in some countries , the dc venues were beseiged - the culture in some lands is that when you get an invitation to anything , you go.
some people obviously don't get asked out much - not that i can relate to that personally , of course.... .

Honeymoon Disfellowshippings
by dozy inone of the anomalies of the disfellowshipping process is the common situation when someone who is unscripturally divorced remarries.
in these occasions , the instruction is to always disfellowship the individual , regardless of repentance or attitude - what is referred to as a honeymoon df in elders jargon.
hence you have the (to me) bizarre situation of privately reproving a child molester , rapist or murderer one week and disfellowshipping a newly remarried middle aged sister who has been divorced for 20 years the next week.

Blood - current JW thinking...
by dozy ina few observations from (indirectly) talking to a couple of hlc members who have recently attended meetings with his in brooklyn:.
(1) any hope that the wts will further reform the blood policy is wide of the mark.
the wts is very happy & settled with the current situation (whole blood + 4 components = nono everything else ok).

KN Campaign - results
by dozy inthe uk feb km unusually contains the results of the kingdom news 37 & convention invitation campaigns (they don't normally make the information public).
convention invitation - 515 slips returned , "over 60%" requesting bible studies.. kn37 (to end of nov , so somewhat incomplete) - 311 slips returned , 185 studies requested.. the report is spun so that "you will be delighted to learn the results" and "jehovah has clearly blessed your hard work".
i can't help feeling that these results are very poor , though doubtless a devout jw would say that if only one study resulted , then that would be a fine result.

Why the number of "anointed" will never decrease...
by dozy injw theology suggests that the work of gathering in the "144,000" has all but ended , particularly since 1935 , and that the number will inevitably diminish to nil.
indeed , some jws maintain that all the anointed will have died and resurrected before armageddon arrives.
the watchtower claims that the fact (?
