  We do not need to memorize an extensive code of rules to direct our every act-- because the elders and other "mature" ones at the KH will be sure you find out how long your hair can be, sideburn length, beards or not, ear piercings, skirt length, preferred car to own, how big your house can be and stay spiritual, what "necessary business" means in regard to DF'd family members, while no hour quota--what constitutes the national average that must be maintained to be "spiritual," college or not, that there are rules for the elders and rules for publishers, etc.

  If you were a JW in 1978, you couldn't get an organ transplant without being disfellowshipped, now it is your personal choice. What will change in the future; will it be God changing or the WTS?

  The WTS is an organization with 2 books; what appears in black and white in the WT publications and the unwritten rules that become apparent as a person attends a local congregation.

  Oh, and there is one other book, the Bible, that they claim they use to base both books on. Will the WTS stand up to an audit by Jesus (or God)?

  Excellant points Blondie!

  The WT had to look all the way to Senegal to find a good example of self-sacrificing love. I've said it before and will say it again, any such examples are not because of the Organization, but despite the Organization. Then they take credit for themselves.

  Interesting that a few weeks ago there was a 20-minute part on the meeting about assisting the elderly. Haven't seen one word since about any arrangements in the congregation to assist the elderly or the sick. It's right back to arrangements to go out and place literature. We sure wouldn't want to imitate those "damned" churches, would we?

  Jesus even instructed them to love their enemies.-Matthew 5:44.

  " We do not need to memorize an extensive code of rules to direct our
  
  every act.."
  
  AMEN. Because it will only change every year or so; we don't tell you when it changes, so DON'T memorize it or you will realize it is all malleable.
  
  And when we change it, we will help you to realize that it never really was that way at all; only certain over zealous ones who ran ahead of the organization.

  Right, CD?</div>
