Blood Transfusions are ok as long as the donor wasn't strangled WHILE committing fornication in sacrifice to an idol.[oubliette]
I am not sure if you meant this to be humorous or not but I was tickled by it. The blood is only in reference to animals is it not? We are not to eat the blood of animals, or sacrifices to idols yada yada yada.....
E.
More likely, WT will decide that to "abstain from blood", all JWs need to start blood-letting. If the Bible says that the blood should be poured out on the earth, the sheeple better start doing it to themselves daily!
... and the sheeple better continue ignoring the context just like they've been doing for decades.
LOL Billy the Ex-Bethelite, that IS indeed funny. But then they have the "Jesus"-thing: soooo successful that he found a sudden end.
NewYork44M: There was once a uber-zealous Circuit Overseer (Germany) that told me I will not need to repair my pioneer-shit-of-a-car™, because the end was so near or that I shouldn't be painting my living room, the paint wouldn't dry before the end would come (he loved to do that - use extreme metaphors - but being GERMAN+WITNESS, well...)
Anyway, not to bore you, long story short: the end never came! Surprise!!!! I was 22 then, now I am 41.
As for Special announcements©™ > the general rule, according to my 30+ years as a Witness is as follows:
Excitement x Secrecy x Time-before-announcement + Sisters Gossip = the shittier and meaningless THE "announcement" is.
The real good ones never make it to the rank and file and sometimes end up here.
BluePill2 - you're only 41?
For some reason I thought you would be at least 10 years older than that, and probably more - you really did rocket up through the ranks!
It makes me laugh to wonder how many older ones watched you jealously from the sidelines, only to be your 'best buddy' face to face !!
Splash.
Excitement x Secrecy x Time-before-announcement + Sisters Gossip = the shittier and meaningless THE "announcement" is.
Love it.
Then one of the local window washers will suggest a local needs talk about headship and humility and life will return to normal.-comatose

The new Bible was mainly printed at Wallkill with Japan helping produce some of them.
There is major expansion taking place at Wallkill now. When completed in late 2015 the Wallkill complex will have about 2.5 million sq ft of buildings.
The Messiah have arrived, he is one of the GB members.
LMAO :-)
Can you pick out the GB member with the messiah complex in a lineup.
If its true about the school now allowing single JW women, it will be a dud from the start unless the classes are combined with the single JW men. IMO, then single JW women would take 2 months off from work to attend the school.
However, if the classes are combined there are a number of ways that would be a disaster. For some women, if they don't find a prospective mate within the first few weeks then she will leave. Putting single JW women and single JW men together for 2 months...too much tension.
The program will be short-lived.
