"If I remember correctly the "Organized to Accomplish Our Ministry" book was released either at the Service Meeting or on a Sunday not at a convention or assembly in 1983." I remember that book but I can't remember if it was released at a service meeting or not? Thats a wicked memory you have Blondie.

JW New Bible
by JW GoneBad inthere's a lot of rumble in the grapevine of jws that there difinitely is a new bible that 'mother' is releasing at the upcoming agm.. it would be awesome if we could get a sneak peek at some of the changes.
sure would be nice if some of the lurkers on this forum who work at bethel in the writing, shipping or printing department could help us out.
this would really irritate 'mom'!.

Most people can't understand JW life, and so it will probably leave a bad impression. If she asks to see your diploma and you don't have it you are going to have to be honest with her about it. Perhaps say you made some bad choices when you were young but your degrees and experience show how you've changed your priorities. Put a positive spin on it.
Thats what my intentions were Laika and thanks for reply. Fortunately my two children will not have to deal with the JW crazyness. They will face life on an even par with thier contemporaries. Thanks again.

Should I just tell her the truth why I did'nt complete my my last 2 credits in 1980(because of my bat shit crazy parents or what?) Most interviews I've had in the last 15 years, no one seemed to care. And don't say go back and take a music and 13 century penumbrian dance elective , I just can't lower myself to that after all I've been through. This interview is important to me, as it would let me go into a slower paced invironment. Is this hard toned Nun just putting on a front? (Taking a big risk here for asking LOL.)

If albumin is allowed when it's not from blood, could white blood cells from mother's milk be allowed?
by ILoveTTATT ini think something that would totally "close the gap" with jw's and not accepting blood but accepting it through the fractions of fractions would be to harvest white blood cells from mother's milk (there are already mother's milk banks) and then transfuse them to witness patients who need wbc's.
since technically they are not from blood, i think it would be an interesting loophole.
anyone here know about a disease that can only be cured/treated with wbc's?

You know I Love TTATT I believe white bloods cells are associated with immune response and don't carry oxygen like red blood cells do. But you never know what is research in this area will reveal in the future. There is soooo much research going on out there.

My daughter got her A Levels yesterday and is off to university in September
by Xanthippe inshe took english, maths and physics and acheived a* a* and a. .
it is the best thing possible for me, even better than seeing her opening birthday presents or the day she won the halloween fancy dress prize at school.. her dad died five years ago but she has coped and done so well at school.
it has shown me that despite what happens in life you can still do well and reach your goals, especially if you take a cult upbringing out of the equation!

I think that going off to uni is similar to the happy/sad feeling you get when your daughter gets maaried. On one hand it is what you have worked and dreamed of, your baby on her way to an independant fulfilling life. On the other hand she off doing that on her own. It is what you work for but it kind of gives you a bit of a stab in the heart. Xanthippe, you did a great job, what a great future you have with your daughter.
Soooo! true

by ctrwtf inprops to raypublisher for starting a thread in "beliefs" re the revelation book.
i didn't want to hijack it because my remembrance of this tome of wisdom has not so much to do with specific content.
rather, thinking about the revelation book brought about a flashback of having to conduct the book study.. it's hard to describe the feeling of remorse and sense of time wasted in the borg.

"evolutionary principle? China will grow. The www (World Wide Web, not World Wide Work) will grow. Will the WTS grow?"
No the WTBTS will not grow and the few at the top know this, they must! The evolutionary principal ( to coin a phrase) will prevail. It always has. Who knows in a couple of years the chinese government will be our biggest friend. Its in thier best interests as well as ours.

" After all China has its own web and sees no need to share in the www."
Jgnat networks are like newspapers grow or die. Its just like any other evolutionary principal.

Now this is very telling, since low demand usually means much higher prices... It's no wonder you guys are selling off printing assets around the world... you're really just cutting your losses before the tower finally collapses in the next 2 or 3 decades... good luck with that...
I don't think its going to take 2 or 3 decades its all about the internet now!
