Honestly, Would You Have Secretly Taken a Blood Transfusion?
by minimus inwhile i was an active jw elder, i wouldn't have up until that last year.
that's when i was totally mentally out, just going thru the technicalities.
i still respect other jw's viewpoints on their not accepting blood----although i think they are terribly misguided.

Your opinion?someone sent me this
by mouthy indispensationalist thinking - right or wrong?
all the fringe religious sects, and even some mainline christian churches, adopt a dispensationalist policy these days.
dispensationalists are people who believe that the gifts of the spirit, such as tongues, healing, prophecy etc all disappeared with the death of the apostles.

Elder stakeouts! Anyone done one / been a victim of one?
by sir82 insuppose the elders get an anonymous letter or phone call, or even a brave soul tells them that they no "brother so-and-so" is sleeping with "sister suzy q".
or a believing jw has a "non-scriptural" divorce, and wants proof her ex is sleeping with someone else.
the elders' manual says the "strong circumstantial evidence, such as evidence that the accused spent all night in the house of someone of the opposite sex who is not his wife or a family member" (paraphrase) can be used as evidence in a judicial case.. to get such "strong circumstantial eveidnce", elders have been known to "stake out" a house, spending all night in a car watching a house.. in all my time as an elder, i was never involved in one of these.
