  Blood issue, I finally got it

  by OnTheWayOut in

  the jw doctrine of "no blood" has never affected me, personally.

  i knew that either.

  jehovah's witnesses were wrong or the rest of the world was wrong.

  Met with the C.O., and need help with 1975

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here is a quick summary, in august i turned in an elder resignation letter stating that i could not teach doctrine from the governing body because i did not "know" them at all, and i had doubts.

  when asked by the elders, i said the doubts spring from this generation and 1975. the elders took no action, waiting for mother to tell them what to do.

  would want to talk to me on his visit.. this week, our c.o.

  The Bethel downsizing letter

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was at the kh and the official discussion of the letter on the cover of the sept. kingdom ministry took place.

  the instructions were to include a discussion of how the need for workers in the field was great.. basically, the letter says that due to technology, less bethelites are needed, so many are being sent out into the field, with many congregations in the united states receiving the benefits of these "mature" publishers.

  yes, they actually said they were sending older ones packing from bethel.
