can a jw for instance accept blood from others after it has been fractioned but instead of some components only be administered with all blood fractions?.

XPeterX,
I thought you were supposed to be asking the Elders and then telling us the answers?
What's happened?

we are already going on a year and a half, and thank god i have not been converted yet.

Welcome Wiser, The Home study will go on for as long as you allow it, of course IF you start to display doubts, things might change. IF you join, then you will be expected to study for all the meetings; haven't they encouraged you to the Kingdom hall yet?
They have just given up on me after 57 years! My wife is IN 'the truth' and they have always hoped I would eventually succumb to the bait!
Blondie has given you ALL the relevant information above.

Sounds better than 'The Reasoning Book'; perhaps the dubs will have an app for the Insight books?

Standing Room Only at Tulsa District Convention

my parents were to attend the dc in tulsa, when they arrived, there was no parking and no seats available.

is this because there are more people in the area or fewer locations and times?.

any ideas?.

Some years ago, I remember, Twickenham UK was just like that, it was miserable!

I am not like you. I will MAKE THEM=FORCE THEM to answer.
Perhaps you can tell US exactly how you propose Making or Forcing elders to answer your questions?
I look forward to your future posts with great interest.

XPeterX said "Well I WILL get satisfactory answers and they know that I will do ANYTHING to achive it.""And YES I will ask a lot of questions."
I wish you all the best in your quest; I have tried this for over 50 years and have never ever had a question answered properly.
"Don't worry about that now, it will become clear as we go on."
"I will look that up and let you know next week."
And many other excuses; the ultimate is very often to start packing the briefcase and leaving in a very bad temper, never to return!
Obedience is what the dubs look for, just blind unquestioning obedience.
I have asked Co's Po's and written to the Branch office, their answers are usually opposed to the elders but referred back to them. Then the Elders just hate you for being educated and having the ability to write letters. Remember Elders are supreme and will always be right! They are appointed by Holy Spirit via the GB and the F&DS.
I look forward to your answers.

What do you think about brothers with bowties?

I like wearing a Bow-tie; so why shouldn't I wear one?
Brother Eric Beveridge, Awake writing department, wears one; he wore one to a KH dedication.
BUT interestingly his brother Bob Beveridge a UK CoBoE says they are not allowed!
Opinions or rules?
