i was speaking with a lady today & found out she's been a nurse in the blood transfusion unit at our hospital for the past 15 years.

i said, "i have an off-the-wall question for you...i was having a discussion with somebody about jehovah's witnesses.

i know they're not allowed to get blood transfusions but they can get fractions, right?

Interesting comment by a JW regarding the new schedule
by wha happened? in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
a buddy of mine who is still serving and doesn't treat me like a leper was chatting with me about the new bookstudy arrangement and the meetings in general.

he stated that the way the parts are set up now, that simply winging the answers from the km or other study material, is next to impossible.

he went on to state that he understood that the society is pushing for more pre-study.. at the risk of sounding bad, are there any thoughts on a push to get rid of the fence sitters?.
Do you suppose all these drivers were JW?
