They were presented with this 7 - point resolution, apparently:

DECLARATION AND RESOLUTION

2006 “DELIVERANCE AT HAND” DISTRICT CONVENTION

INTRODUCTION

According to God's prophetic word and its fulfilment thus far, we are approaching an unprecedented

time of trouble for the present world. Jesus foretold this great prophecy of the conclusion of this system of

things: "There will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the beginning until now, no, nor will

occur again." In view of what was decreed, what position do we as Jehovah's Witnesses, take toward the

world? At times the expression "the world" refers to mankind in general as at John 3: 16; however, the

Bible plainly shows that the term "world" can sometimes refer to human society that is alienated from God.

Note Jesus' words regarding this at John 17:14: "I have given your word to them, but the world has hated

them because they are no part of the world, just as 1 am no part of the world." This is a vitally important

principle by which Jehovah's Witnesses are guided. In view of the foregoing, as Jehovah's Witnesses

assembled at this Deliverance at Hand convention, we make the following declaration and resolve:

1. Because of our love for Jehovah and for our neighbours, we are determined to intensify our

witness to the world of mankind regardless of their race, nationality or station in life.

2.

Having made an unreserved dedication to God, we are determined to give Jehovah our exclusive

devotion. He comes first in our life.

3.

Just as Jesus was no part of the world, neither are we part of human society that is alienated from

God.

4.

Out of loyalty to Jehovah and to his son, Jesus, we are firmly resolved not to compromise the

Bible's righteous principles.

5.

We utterly refuse to become involved with the futile interfaith movements, as well as social

programs and schemes designed to perpetuate a system that God has condemned as a failure.

6.

We will continue to show relative subjection to properly constituted authority, respectfully giving

to Caesar what is Caesar's and rendering to God the things that are God's. We do not take sides

or become involved in political controversies.

7 .

We will resist with all of our strength, the spirit of the world that manifests in it such things as

materialism, unwholesome entertainment, overindulgence in food and alcoholic beverages, the

plague of pornographic material and the curiosity or temptation that lures one into association with

outsiders through Internet chat rooms.

Our resolve is to be no part of the world as we carry on worship that is clean from the standpoint of

our God. In all these ways we are determined to give evidence of being no part of the world, making that

manifest in every aspect of our life and in our relationship with others. With the help and strength that God

supplies and support from his inspired word, we will maintain a scripturally balanced position regarding

this time of stress and upheaval.

As Jehovah's Witnesses, it is our resolve to remain set apart from the world

in accord with sound scriptural principles. We are determined to pursue this course wholeheartedly so as to

have God's approval. Thus our expectation is to survive the end of this present wicked system of things into

a clean, righteous and enduring new world where we will enjoy God's gift of everlasting life.

All those in favour of adopting this resolution please say "Aye".

As you said Jason, nothing new under the sun...

The biggest thing I've seen all summer is the August Awake! magazine and it's direct reaction to the article: Jehovah?s Witnesses, Blood Transfusions, and the Tort of Misrepresentation by: KERRY LOUDERBACK-WOOD.

If ya don't think the Watch Tower Society is in reactive mode, check this out. They must have read the Louderback-Wood article and wrote the Awake! magazine article the next day.

My hat's off to ya Kerry, wherever ya are!

Thank u so much fullofdoubt.....

jason bourne

Thanks Gary.....in a few words, what did the report say?

garybuss

The report said the Watch Tower Publishing Corporation is allowing blood medical treatment with all fractions, specifically with hemoglobin, but they have not informed the Witness people aggregate. The August Awake! did inform the Witness people.

A minor re-write

We will resist with all of our strength, the spirit of the thinking world that manifests in it such things as association with outsiders through intellectualy honest and thought provoking conversations in Internet chat rooms.

Our resolve is to be no part of the thinking world as we carry on blind obedient worship that is clean from the standpoint of the WTS. In all these ways we are determined to give evidence of being no part of the thinking world, making that manifest in every aspect of our small lives and in our nonexistant relationship with others. With the help and strength that the WTS supplies and support from its manipulative and coercive literature, we will maintain a scripturally twisted and unbalanced position regarding this time of stress and upheaval.
As Jehovah's Witnesses, it is our resolve to remain set apart from the thinking world in accord with unsound invented scriptural principles. We are determined to pursue this course wholeheartedly and without question so as to have the Governing Body's approval. Thus our expectation is to survive the end of this present wicked system of things into a clean, righteous and enduring new world where we will enjoy the Governing Body's vision of everlasting life under their control.

All those in favour of adopting this resolution please say...
