if you had the opportunity to help a person understand the jehovah's witness religion, what would you make sure they understood about the "truth"?

anyone else as addicted to this tv show as i am???
it is a "must see" for me and tonight's episode looks really good!
I'm hooked as well!! This is my favorite show, although not quite sure why. I've never seen, even in a movie, what Capt. Aceveda was forced to do. It was horrifying, yet I couldn't stop looking. I loved last week's episode, where the decoy team had to run naked through the "barn."

it is well known among those here, that there were no blood cards issued this year.
for the first time in years, it is now no longer necessary to wait an extra half hour after the meeting to get an elder and a friend to sign it.. at the book study this week, the book study overseer said that we will have to renew our dpi forms (i think that's the right abbreviation) and that we would prayfully consider our options on use of non blood treatments.. is this the way things are going?
if there are no bloodcards for a 2nd year in a row, what will this mean?
Could someone please point me in the right direction--Were blood cards not issued again this year (2004)? This is news to me. I did a search and came up with nothing. Thanks!

PS That book sounds very interesting!
hello, dear people!
my cousin from texas, she of the abusive husband, cancer, and impending loss of home due to foreclosure, whom many of you helped greatly with gifts, good wishes, and personal attention (.
she requests prayer in agreement beginning at 10 am cst, that not only will she get the spousal support she is seeking but also that her divorce become finalized today, that god looks over the judge's shoulder and makes sure he is aware of all the suffering, abuse and malicious treatment she has endured for the past two years, as well as the financial facts of the case.
(((((((Brenda)))))))
I will pray for Colleen at 10:00. I'm a little rusty, but I still believe. She's so fortunate to have a loving cousin like you.

the following is a letter i want to send:.
dear.
i understand that you are associating with jehovah?s witnesses.
Thanks, guys!
I will add the link to freeminds. I don't want these people or the one who studies with them to know it's me. In fact, I wish i could make it sound as if it wasn't even coming from a witness, but still be credible.

Hi all,
The following is a letter I want to send:
Dear
I understand that you are associating with Jehovah?s witnesses. They are very sincere people, and most lead an exemplary life. However, there are several things you may not
know about them--in fact many of the faithful are unaware of what their leaders are doing.
The child abuse scandal, in which allegations of child abuse are not always handled properly and very often not reported to the authorities. They may claim to take it seriously, but the main objective is to ?not bring reproach upon Jehovah.? Therefore, any hint of wrongdoing, especially when it involves this sort of activity, is often stifled. Log on to www.silentlambs.com for some truly heart-breaking accounts of child abuse.
The Watchtower?s ?partnering? with the UN. You probably know from your studies that the witnesses believe that the United Nations is the Scarlet colored ?Wild beast? pictured in Revelation. The harlot riding the Beast pictures all false religions. Naturally, the witnesses would be no part of this harlot riding the beast.
However, it was revealed that the Watchtower became an NGO (Non Governmental Organization) in the UN. They also signed up with DPI (Department of Public Information) in which they pledged to support the ideals of the UN in their publications. This occurred in 1992. In 2001 it was revealed that they were members of NGO and DPI, and they quickly withdrew their association. They have given various excuses for this period of association, to those who ask, otherwise they remain mute. The UN entered a document on their website, in which they expose the Watchtower for its duplicity. You may read about it at www.un.org/dpi/ngosection/watchtower .
These are only two examples of the Watchtower not being completely honest with their followers. There are many, many more, and these are available if you do some research. Another website to check is www.jehovahs-witness.com This is a discussion forum made up of witnesses, former witnesses and some who have never joined the organization.
Please take the time to investigate the Watchtower thoroughly, as they encourage you to do with whatever religious beliefs you had when first contacted by them. Remember, once you formalize your membership with them, you may not question the authority of the leaders of the organization. They may deny this, but believe me, it is the truth.
And always remember, the ?Truth? if it is true, will stand up to scrutiny.
Sincerely,
A Concerned Person
Any advice or stuff I missed? Thanks in advance.
