  i'm tired of putting on a happy face for all the drones.

  i'm sure everyone that's been a part of the borganization can relate to this.

  i had what would have been a great weekend were i still oblivious to the truth about the truth.

  looking for letter to Circuit Overseers about blood

  i was looking at ajwrb's timeline of the history of the blood doctrine, & noticed this : 2000 - in the spring, circuit overseers in the united states receive a letter instructing them to inform local bodies of elders not to disfellowship anyone who accepts blood transfusions.

  if their conduct becomes known and they are deemed unrepentant, they will be considered to have disassociated themselves.

  does anyone have a scan of this letter?

  just curious about Hebrew verb tense in Isaiah...

  2. bible

  i was comparing the nwt & the niv the other day & noticed there's a discrepancy at isaiah 48:18 & 19... the niv reads: .

  18 if only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would have been like a river, your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

  19 your descendants would have been like the sand, your children like its numberless grains; their name would never be cut off nor destroyed from before me.

  old light on mediating...

  by lost_sheep in

  blow the dust off your ancient watchtower tomes & delve into the annals (or should that be anals?

  ) of the wts's past... i'm trying to find out if they have ever taught that christ is the mediator for all people.

  recently finding out (after being raised a witness) that they teach that christ is not the mediator for everyone was disturbing to say the least.

  Is the WT currently associated with the UN?

  2. scandals

  i know this topic has been beaten to death, i apologize for flogging the proverbial horse again... but someone mentioned a few days ago (can't find that comment now) that the wt still has ties to the un.

  what evidence do we have for this?

  if one of its corporations is still affiliated with the un, seems like that would be quite the scandal.

  greetings from another newbie

  well... i've finally worked up the courage to get an account & start posting on this site.

  i've been lurking for a couple of months now, voraciously reading all the, mmm, "delightful words of truth" i've found here.

  i'm currently deep in dubdom, so i have to be pretty ambiguous about some personal details, (i'm really paranoid, hopefully that will pass :-/) but my story in a nutshell is: i was born into this religion, baptised in my mid teens, happily married to a wonderful (& thankfully, somewhat open-minded) jw lady, & now, several years later, i'm starting to seriously question some of what i believe.
