with the new website coming, does this mean they can fire many or most of their printing production staff ?
should these same staff be worried ?.
Any company that can get the same results on the internet as it did when it had physical buildings to maintain, are going to be a lot better off.
Amazon for instance is a massive sucess story not only for books but for many other things as well. If the society can get their flock to download the magazines themselves that would be a great result for them, and huge saving.
the jwfacts web site is still topper the lists of informative and objective websites about the watchtower jehovah witnesses.. seven years and still running strong.. .
It really is a great website for information, and most importantly statements there can be backed up with facts. I often go there myself to check things. Keep uop the good work Paul.
recently on the topix website we have talking about blood transfusions.. it has been asserted by one ex witness that jws are now allowed to store their blood providing it is for a limited time.
for example the blood could be taken from the patient sent to the lab to have it cleaned or whatever, and then returned to the patient.
the november 2006 kingdom ministry was cited to back this up as well as a watchtower from 2000. my question is, are jws now allowed to store their blood for a current limited time?.
Thanks so much everyone. As usual though the society change something and most of the sheep have no idea whatsoever about it. I know if I asked my JW son he would not have a clue about current thinking on blood.

Thanks refriedtruth.
I did not know this. I always though if blood actually was taken away from the body to a different area, that it was a no no for JWs.
I bet very few witnesses know this. The artticles certainly seem to agree with you. I am trying to find a current JW that knows about it.

Certainly they cannot store it for weeks or months before say an operation, but what about a few hours?
what is the procedure for requesting to be on the do not call list.
what happens when someone requests to be on the do not call list?.
does a letter need to be sent each year?.
Since I left 15 years ago, I had not been called on, even though I did not formally ask to be put on the do not call list. This year someone did call as they new my JWQ son and wanted to meet his dad. We had a good chat, but very soon she was trying to get away when she realized there was no chance of a conversion.
i love these people so much!
we had kh cleaning last weekend for the memorial and it felt just like old time and brought back soo many memories...i share my struggles, my joys ...everything with my bros and sis... they are my friends...i really truly do love them...how can i leave?
that feeling just made me feel like abandoning all this reasarch and go on living blindly .
I too used to love the brothers and sisters, that is until I started questioning some of the views of the governing body. Once I started doing that all love towards me was immediately stopped and a very cold feeling existed between me and my so called friends. Because I could no longer agree with what I had previously been taught my close JW friends dropped me like a brick.
The love shown by JWs, is totally conditional on you obeying everything the governing body say.
hi everyone, i have some questions for anyone that can answer.
i've been doing some research in the whole united nations scandal with the watchtower organization.
and i am wondering what the society's view on the un is as of late.
If for no other reason it would help in reaching into new territories if the U N were on board. Exactly the reason many people suck up to people or nations in power. It's all about how they can use that friendship to further their own agenda.
they teach them well in wt land .
walter meaty: fraudster butcher in 3.3million tax con.
gary turner convinced people he ran a meat wholesalers famous for its sausage rolls but the firm had been bust for 14 years.. his walter mitty-type fantasy was in fact a ruse to rip off the taxpayer by continuing to claim vast sums of vat from hmrc on the basis he was still in charge of a going concern.. and the cash he gained funded a luxury lifestyle.. when turners detached house was raided, revenue officers found five luxury cars with personalised number plates and a watch collection worth more than 35,000, including two rolexes valued at 17,420.. a 4,600 juke box and three guitars costing 2,000 were also discovered.. it also emerged he spent 7,000 on family holidays to spain and used more taxpayer money to build a new house with a top of the range kitchen and bathroom as well as two other properties.. turner, 47 a jehovahs witness, was declaring huge profits from his non-existent business and claiming back tens of thousands of pounds every year.. .
I expect he learnt his tax evasion from his mother organisation. They managed to get out of paying tax on their literature some time ago.
the pdf of crisis of conscience is available online.
i jumped to chapter 6, double standards and examined the situation regarding jehovah's witnesses position in malawi and the mandatory requirement to buy a malawi congress party (mcp) card.
i may have missed something, but it should be glaringly obvious what took place here.
As regards Malawi, the society over the years showed how joining any political party was a no no. Individuals have been disfellowshipped in the past for doung just that. So the Malawian witnesses new the societies view. They did not need to be told what to do.
It is like a child being taught right from wrong. The child does not need to check with the parent on every right or wrong decision they have to make in the future.
What do you think would have happened to witnesses who actually bought a membershiop card? Would they be viewed as witnesses in good standing, because their consciences allowed them to buy the card?
No they would not. Witnesses all over the world have to agree to follow the societies unique teachings and doctrines. If they do not, they can no longer call themselves JWs. The Malawi witnesses new the governing bodies view on this and they went along with it.
If the society changed their stance on this, then so would witnesses around the world. They all follow the lead of the governing body, whether they fully agree with it or not.
