  jookbeard: does anyone know this guy, where he came from?

  It seems that Philip came from the Isle of Wright, with his wife Lorraine....

  • St George of England: Philip Rose has been off the CO work for over a year now. He works on the School for Married Couples or whatever it is called. Based in Ireland I believe.

  Gradualism for the blood doctrine?

  by no-zombie in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  here in australia, during the service meeting this week, the local needs part was taken up to quickly discuss a letter from the organization stating that there will no longer be a annual meeting part to discuss or remind the congregations about their blood cards.. i found this quite odd.. its not like that there is a shortage of meeting time to discuss this issue, as the society has recently been hijacking more and more local needs parts for its own messages.

  and for a supposedly important doctrine, you would think that it should be mentioned more often rather than less, to keep everyone in line.. could this be a beginning of the movement away from the blood doctrine, through the process of gradualism?.

  FYI around six years ago, there was a move away from renewing the documents every year to every four years
  

  Letter, December 2, 2011, TO ALL BODIES OF ELDERS - re: Advance Decision to Refuse Specified Medical Treatment document

  There is no longer a need to renew our Advance Decision document on a yearly basis, however, we recommend that publishers renew their document at least every four years and, of course, publishers may for various reasons need to update/renew theirs at any time.

  a new book has just been published called the oxford handbook of the bible in america.

  in it is an article by michael gilmour, professor of new testament at (the evangelical) providence university college in manitoba, canada, on jws and the nwt.

  that's chapter 41. but that is not the only time jws are brought up.

  That's interesting.

  Someone highlighted this book here last week:

  Apparently Michael J. Gilmour has written "An Outsider’s Notes on the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Revelation: Its Grand Climax at Hand!"

  *this post was prompted by a reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/7eqno4/jehovahs_witnesses_promote_truth_by_verifying/.

  so.. the org makes the claim that.

  "anyone who reads our publications or views our videos can be confident that the facts were thoroughly researched and are accurate.".

  OrphanCrow - I was just 'completing' the story arc.

  I don't need to go back 27 years, interesting though it is, to highlight a lack of accuracy.

  Just this month's (November) JW Monthly Broadcast can be used to do that....

  steve2: I'd have thought if the consensus is that the story is a fabrication, the Awake editor needed to print a correction, as any reputable news source would need to do.

  Check out what the Awake editor did ....

  OrphanCrow: This little snippet ran in the March 22nd, 1989 Awake magazine in the section Watching the World:
  

  Interesting, thanks for the find.
  

  But you haven't mention the letter that the US Information Agency wrote to the WT about it??

  The letter was printed in the Awake! magazine... check it out here
