  Making real friends

  2. friends

  i have been away from the meetings for about a year now.

  i recently attended a funeral and the witnesses mostly avoided me even though i am not disfellowshipped.

  my problem is i need to replace my old friends because they look at me with such suspicion now.. i never had trouble making friends before i was a witness,but that was 30 years ago.

  Governing Body Is Running Scared

  2. medical

  it was no accident that the new awake article recently came out with the info that hemoglobin based blood products are now acceptable or a "conscience" matter for jws.

  the tort of misrepresentation is about that very subject.

  they have actually been an option for some time, but this was not made known to the rank and file in a formal article.
