  I love these checks/cheques!!!

  The only thing I have found so far for a BLOOD issues link is this:

  http://www.ajwrb.org/

  Will that help?

  If any polyglots out there are interested, we would be happy to provide translation if possible. All we need is direct translation of each line of text. Also any suggestions as to the format of non-US checks would be appreciated.

  I am very interested in Spanish, German and French.

  Let's circle the globe with this!

  Thanks Randy and Danny!

  I "checked" out the page, but it seems the pics are low-res, so that you can't read the disclaimers, etc. Any chance you can increase the file quality?

  I have a question: Do you actually know what a Zone overseer is? There wont even be Zone Overseers at 90% of the conventions.These will not be getting to a zone overseer. District overseer perhaps, CO yes. Not Zone.

  Otherwise it's a great idea.

  The reason for making the ZO the contact is to move the check out of the District Convention itself.

  Otherwise many checks would be dismissed right there at the site. Who knows if this will actually happen, but at least the information will filter up. If this goes worldwide, a ZO contact will help expose the protest at each respective branch.

  For those of you would don't know what a ZO does:

  ZONE OVERSEER
  
  Periodically, arrangements are made by the Governing Body to have qualified brothers visit each of the branches throughout the earth. Brothers serving in this capacity are known as zone overseers.
  
  Their primary work is to help the Branch Committee with problems or questions they may have in carrying on the preaching and disciple-making work. Wherever practical, the zone overseer also meets with the missionaries who work under the branches he visits. He talks with them about their problems and needs, giving necessary encouragement regarding their most important activity, Kingdom preaching and disciple making.
  
  The zone overseer also examines the various records that are kept for operating a branch office. He is especially interested in what is being accomplished in the field as far as the Kingdom preaching and other congregation activities are concerned. If there is a printery, farm, or other facility, he inspects each of these operations. When the zone overseer visits branches, he also shares to the extent possible in the Kingdom-preaching work.

  Hi ezekiel, can I call you zeke?

  Since you are asking for feedback......As a person whose life as a jw child was endangered countless times by the blood policies, here is my (hopefully constructive) feedback.

  The name Beth Sarim is funny because it looks like a real person's name. Hilarious!

  I also like the ajwrb reference because they're the greatest!

  I personally don't object to them changing the blood policy because it has become less stringent--more safe for jws--therefore a positive change rather than a negative one. I definitely don't criticize them for changing the policy, it is just too little/too late. It is also not just kids that are dying. My suggestion is to change the wording to: "For _letting JWs die for an unscriptural rule_" I dunno, something along those lines.

  For added humor, I would also suggest substituting in the $ line instead of "I will not contribute...", how about "Donated a pint of blood in the name of the WTS"?

  Just some miscellaneous thoughts you can use or not use at your discretion. Again, you guys are doing a great job!
