Thanks Nevada :-) That was the KM Insert I was thinking about.
I guess if he doesn't trust a scanned copy, we will have to wait until I can download a pirated 2006 WT CD. He never asked how I got the 2005 one :-)
I appreciate you!

last monday my middle daughter gave birth to my 5th grandchild.
she delivered by c-section and had complications.
eventually, it became clear that she needed a blood transfusion.

Last Monday my middle daughter gave birth to my 5th grandchild. She delivered by C-Section and had complications. Eventually, it became clear that she needed a blood transfusion. Prior to her C-Section, she had (on her own) already signed a document giving the doctors permission to give her blood in a life-or-death emergency. However, she resisted the idea of taking blood after the surgery was over, even though her blood count was very low and doctors assured her that the situation could be dangerous.
I let her know that I would support her personal decision whatever it was, and left it to her younger sister (who took blood under similar circumstances) to talk with her about it. After talking with her sister, she agreed to take the transfusion. Her improvement was immediate.
On the way home, my husband said, "I want you to understand that UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES will I ever agree to take a blood transfusion. I would RATHER DIE than take blood." I told him that I understood what he was saying.
Here's the thing -- since we have been inactive so long, I am quite sure that my husband has NO IDEA that the society now PERMITS Witnesses to accept most blood fractions. I didn't know this until I read the scanned information on this site.
How do I get this information to him? I haven't told him about this site. I don't know what his reaction would be to my being here.
For an inactive Witness to die rather than take blood when they aren't even informed on the "current light" (confusing and contradictory as it is) is frightening to me.
Any suggestions? I searched the 2005 WT CD and could not find the Kingdom Ministry insert with the chart that I have seen here, so I assume it is from 2006 or later.
Thanks.

hey all,
hubby is right this minute bagging up all the wt and awake bound volumes that have been languishing in the back room and putting them in garbage bags.
this is the same hubby who swears he is "going back" to the kh "some day".
Paisley,
He didn't give me a reason, but the books did go to the curb and have been collected :-)
Poor guy is having a hard time these days. He is a fallen-away Catholic who became a Witness and then met and married a born-to-it Witness who is now attending the Catholic Church.
I think he's sort of going in the direction of thinking he doesn't want to hear about religion period... But then I also went through that stage.
Anyway, I'm glad the bound volumes are gone.

Hey friends,
My daughter had a baby girl last Monday. The baby was premature (32 weeks) and the delivery was an emergency, but both are doing okay now. Baby will be in the NICU for a while, so Mommy is staying close by.

are we playing there game, by having to justify ourselves, why we don't go to meetings anymore, or why we left the org?.
No, I avoid that topic, even with my family. To my new Christian friends, if they happen to know that I was a Witness for years, I say simply that I left the JW religion some time ago (which is true) and I do not elaborate. If they push (and most do not), I will say that I was raised as a JW but am no longer a member of that religion. If that doesn't stop the questions, then I walk away.
I prefer to share my newfound Christianity instead.

Gill,
I know the books could be sold, but I'm not going to stop him and suggest it. What he's pitching are the bound volumes; the older books are on bookshelves elsewhere.
I'm just happy that he's doing it.
Auld Soul, mia_b, and jgnat,
Thanks :-)

comments you will not hear at the 02-04-07 wt study (december 15, 2006, pages 25-29)(justice be done).
when in particular will god "cause justice to be done"?.
(luke 18:1; 2 thessalonians 3:13) granted, the coming of "the great day of jehovah" does not depend on our prayers--it will come whether we pray for it or not.
Blondie,
Thank you for your commentary. I don't know how you manage to get all the way through those articles without throwing up.

i was watching this pro- wt video.
it showed the "real" gravestone of russell that was definately not a pyramid.
I believe that the site where Russell is buried has both a regular stone ON his grave and the pyramid structure near his grave. The pyramid was constructed at his request and to his specifications. Someone has simply left it out of the video. NanaR
