They should put an intermission between the public talk and the WT study. That way no one would have an excuse to get up during the meeting and go to the bathroom.
They did back in the mid 1960's but people would bug out and not return

to set things right by the dozens of people who wrote to the WTS with valid criticisms of the book
Being the tech head science nerd I LOVED the creation book of course I was still under the WT spell,none the less my reverence was so high for that book that I considered a masterpiece it was my favorite to offer door to door.
This is what happened.. about 3/4 into the book there is a paragraph that states that 'bats use supersonic sound to echo locate" this is wrong and should read ultrasonic as supersonic is what fighter jets do when they break the sound barrier ultrasonic is above the range of human hearing like a dog whistle.SO I wrote the society and explained this in the most gracious reverential manner along with my monthy $1,000 donation to the kingdom hall bldg fund.
I never heard back from them and was DFed about two years later.Danny Haszard Bangor Maine

Do Witnesses have a Stronger Brotherhood than Christendom Does?
by gumby inthis came up in discussion between me and a fellow ex-dub buddy of mine.. as jw's, we had a brotherly unity.....at least many of us did.
if we were going somewhere and needed a witness to watch our place....even stay at our place, we had no reserves about being ripped off by them.
they were closer than some families members oftentimes and we even preferred being around them as opposed to "wordly" family members.

Back in the old days we seemed to stick together but when i left my last Kingdom Hall Rockland Massachusetts it was dog eat dog backstabbing. What prevailed back then was HOPE because everyone was deluded with prophecy's that had not yet expired also there was a lot of cold war fear and no counter information (internet) just the obscure 'evil slave'.
It was still the blind following the blind and all the old timers are now sadly ALL DEAD.
The WT seemed more humble then much poorer too.Now they have bloated into an arrogant egotistical tyranny.They are like a wounded animal backed into a corner,it's dog eat dog now. Because I was born in 1957 and limited all my school and worldly associations I didn't know and experience altruistic humanitarianism until my WT exit 1992 and was SHOCKED at how normal and caring worldly people are. Every single JW back in 1992 would have turned my a** in for apostasy if I had proclaimed to them back then that we would still be in this system 2007 and the WT would be making reservations for summer DC's in 2015.Many had NO retirement savings or caring for their long term health care,I don't get it why there ain't 6 million crying foul screaming JW's. -

Jehovah’s Witness refuses life-saving transfusion
Think Spain , Spain - 9 minutes ago
Whilst medics consulted her paperwork, they discovered she was a Jehovah’s Witness, which prevents her from having a blood transfusion in the event of an ... ReligionJehovah’s Witness refuses life-saving transfusion By: Samantha Kett, thinkSPAINtoday A Dénia woman who is seriously ill after an accident at work has refused a blood transfusion on the grounds of religion. The 35-year-old suffered head and stomach injuries whilst at work on the industrial estate in Ondara, in a firm that deals with wood-lacquering. She was pushing a large wheelbarrow loaded with planks of wood which overturned and fell on her. Witnesses say she was bleeding profusely from the mouth and her colleagues took her to accident and emergency. Whilst medics consulted her paperwork, they discovered she was a Jehovah’s Witness, which prevents her from having a blood transfusion in the event of an accident or illness. María Dolores Ortiz was taken to the Centro de Rehabilitación de Levante, in Valencia , where her injuries were operated on. Her six brothers and sisters were warned that she may not survive if she did not have a transfusion. However, medics refused to go against the patient’s wishes. They referred the matter to her family, who took the same line. Last Wednesday, a judge ratified the patient’s refusal to take a transfusion. In the meantime, she remains in intensive care and her life hangs in the balance. Friday, July 13, 2007 http://www.thinkspain.com/info/contact.asp online form contact page

The Watchtower is a man made cult of falsehoods from the get-go.Be warned! When judgement day comes the Watchtower false prophets get it first.The scriptures say that the “Judgement starts with the house of God” so this means that anyone who proclaims to be the one true religion gets dealt with first and severe.

Patient safety watchdog calls for standardised wristbands
Guardian Unlimited, UK - 4 hours ago
In others green and yellow are used to signify a confused person, and Jehovah's Witnesses not wanting blood products can be either red or blue. ...Patient safety watchdog calls for standardised wristbands
· Confusions led to nearly 3,000 treatment errors
· NHS trusts given July 2008 date to fall into line
David Pallister
Thursday July 12, 2007
The Guardian Nearly 3,000 hospital patients were given the wrong treatment last year because of inaccurate or confusing information on their identification wristband, according to the National Patient Safety Agency. The results, the agency said, could be potentially devastating, especially in surgery. In one mix-up a diabetic patient was given an almost fatal dose of insulin. The agency, a special health authority established to coordinate the reporting of patient safety incidents, has told NHS trusts to standardise both the colour and data on the bands by July next year. Its survey of 62 trusts found eight different coloured bands in use and some departments within trusts using bands of different colours to signify the same condition. Illegible writing on bands is one cause of confusion for doctors and nurses. The agency also notes that eight of the trusts could not be identified on the returned questionnaires because of "missing or illegible information". In the questionnaires, staff from nine trusts gave inconsistent replies to whether colour coding was used: seven responded "yes" and "no." One said "yes" and "don't know" and one gave all three responses. There were a small number of "don't knows" to nearly every question. The range of colour codes was illustrated by the use of four colours in different hospitals for "risk of falls": green, blue, yellow and orange. In others green and yellow are used to signify a confused person, and Jehovah's Witnessesnot wanting blood products can be either red or blue. The NPSA said the bands in future should be white with black text, carrying the last name, first name, date of birth and NHS number. Trusts will have the discretion to use red bands to denote a specific risk such as an allergy or a patient who does not want to receive blood products. The words, preferably in a common sans serif typeface such as Helvetica, should be in black on a white panel. Helen Glenister, the NPSA deputy chief executive, said: "We are issuing this advice to NHS organisations to encourage the standardisation of wristbands. This will help frontline staff who work in different NHS hospitals across England and Wales to make patient care safer. Wristbands are an important safety check in patient identification but do not take away the need for clinicians to check identification directly with patients. In cases where patients are unable to provide their own details because they are critically ill, unconscious, confused or cannot communicate, wristbands provide a vital backup." In Wales, the wristbands will also carry the first line of the patient's address. The NPSA said trusts must also "develop clear and consistent processes, set out in trust protocols, specifying which staff can produce, apply and check patient wristbands, how they should do it and what information sources they should use". By July 2009 bands should be made and printed at the patient's bedside "wherever possible".
