DVD "JW's Faith In Action, part 1 Out of Darkness" Omits! Omits! Omits!
by Wasanelder Once ini've been watching the new dvd and it is a bull fest about russell.
i haven't even gotten half way and they already excluded one very important bit of information.
you'll recall that russell "lost" his faith and "turning away from church creeds and searching for truth, russell examined some leading oriental religions, only to find these unsatisfying".

Submission of Women
by TJ Curioso inwe all know what says ephesians 5:21-23 (nwt):.
21 be in subjection to one another in fear of christ.
22 let wives be in subjection to their husbands as to the lord, 23 because a husband is head of his wife as the christ also is head of the congregation, he being a savior of [this] body.. others translations like kjv, read something like the nwt.. in the other day, i cross with some information in the net (youtube and other pages of religious ministers) about the subject of women's subjection to the men (husband) and saw that some people say that in the original greek the word subjection don't appear in the vers.

JAPAN Bethel downsizes with layoffs!
by Alligator Wisdom intwenty+ year veteran japanese bethelites sent to the field as special pioneers.
i don't have the exact number laid off.
however, there are a total of 550+ members at the ebina branch, so if the trend reflects the same as in the u.s. and europe branches, then we can assume at least between 10% - 20%.. in order to counterbalance the need for a work force but without having to incur expenses by housing and feeding them, japan bethel is considering opening the door to "commuting bethelites".

Blood being refused here in my area
by AK - Jeff inthe baby is known only as baby binn according to the news report i just saw on wane channel 15 in fort wayne.. she was born premature, and her blood count is low.. the local liason elder - richard dellinger - made a couple of polite policy statements in front of a camera.
he quoted acts and said that 'the parents have taken a stand - therefore whatever the courts rule - the parents will not be held accountable by god' [or substance].
he, of course is praising that 'alternate choices' of treatment have been used.
