here are a few of my wishful thoughts that, if came true, would make me enjoy my religion even more:.
no more end of month time reporting.. delete one of the 1-day circuit assemblies.
may replace with a 'special meeting', such as the one we had last year.. eliminate friday from the big convention.. no more international conventions!
Apognophos,
The second school is just redundant, busy work for all, really. Keep one main school so that the conductor do not stress with parts assignments and finding the brothers/sisters that are joyful about giving a part.
I have to give parts quite often, but I do not like it. With one school only, my parts will be few and far between. Believe me, many inside share my view point.

The Bible, as all other religious books, will be according to the reader's interpretation.
This is their take on it, and that is what they will teach. Some will like it, the rest can search for another org's view point.

Ohhh, the 'blood' issue... Nope! As it is right now it is pretty watered down. They don't even kick out those that have accepted blood in recent times.
Rumor has it that the Friday elimination from the RC, and the deletion of the second school in the mid-week mtg is coming down the pipe very soon. Oh what a celebration that will be for so many!

Finally! We're all soooooo sick of waiting!!
I would not be one bit surprised if there's a mass exodus by the end of the year. This generation is growing quite intolerant of the "Wolf is coming!" false calls.
Although so many of us inside just appreciate the social/moral aspects of it and nothing more. Just one more religion, that's all.

since isis is killing people in the middle east and apparently they are invaded the rest of the earth with their hateful beliefs should we as americans take the steps necessary to amend the constitution to say something along the lines of .
congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion except in regards to islam, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof except in regards to islam; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble except in regards to islam, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.. .

They have done absolutely nothing to us here in America in comparison with the devastation we continue to cause in their own lands!
Hey, how about looking into the damage/deaths some right wing extremists along with other homegrown nuts have caused in our soil, finding out their religious affiliation and going after that faith, will you?
I venture out a wild guess that if we got our noses out of their riches, our bases/personnel out of their lands, and forced Israel into what is fair and just, yes, a two state solution and the vacancy of Palestinian lands, terrorism and hatred towards the West will ease up.
Young Turks. GOOOOOOOO!!!

You sure give honor to your avatar name "confused".
Islam is a religion just like Christianity is. Anything going against "freedom of religion" is about as un-American as anyone can be.
Another 'Fox propaganda fed' individual, are we?!

Young Turks. GOOOOOOOO!!!
so, about a decade ago there was a big scandal in my city concerning an young elder raping his 13 year old sister in law.
the elder got reproved but was never turn over to the police.
the girl's mom was an immigrant and very uneducated and decided it was best to forgive after the elders, whom one was the young elders dad, instructed her to remain silent and rely on jehovah.
Theredeemer,
Working in the FD? Someone close to the case, that knows all the facts, not just gossip and hearsay, should raise a big stink about this! Even if nothing comes out of it, at least it will be in the public eye and record so in the future this person will not be trusted with a position of responsibility.
Well, at least he has been kicked out from the ranks. I detest child molesters!!!

this article from 2012 published by the birmingham news showed up on my facebook page.. what i would have liked to see in the statistics is the inclusion of total jws refusing blood transfusion and their survival rate not only the ones taht surviced, taking about only survivors is not like for like comparison in my opinion with patients who take blood transfusion and then dont survive.. .

There are many passages in the Bible where it shows servants of God losing their lives while doing his will. In modern times there have been many instances in which also servants of God have died as a consequence of following their beliefs.
Once one believes that abstaining from blood in all its forms complies with God's command, and in addition one also believes in a future resurrection, then it's perfectly understandable why some are steadfast about refusing any treatment which violates our 'no blood' policy. This is one big faith issue.
Good thing medicine has advanced so much that there are even bloodless surgeries of all kinds. There is a biblical verse in which Jesus says that those trying to preserve life in disobedience will lose their life, while those that lose their life while obeying him will recover their life; one must have faith in the resurrection.
