It doesn't have the year text. I believe that is usually released in a WT article. I have log in info because I order (or am supposed to) literature for my hall. I'm planning my fade soon enough, its just difficult with a wife and family that are still "in".

Sorry baltar, forgot to mention it's only available to those with log in information.
Some of the objections are " If Someone Says: 'Christians Are Supposed to Be Witnesses for Jesus, Not for Jehovah' (rs p. 208 3)"
"Is Jehovah in the “Old Testament” the Same as Jesus Christ in the “NewTestament”? (rs p.197 8–p.198 3)" Feel the lies!

News from the "inside" isn't too plentiful nowadays. The full TMS schedule has been posted as a PDF on the jw.org site. Last year, the number 2 assignment focused on Learn From the Great Teacher. This upcoming year it has changed to the Reasoning Book, with a focus on the "If someone says..." sections.
This seems like they are trying to prep the sisters (because they know brothers aren't as zealous in the field circus) with more "tactics" on overcoming objections. They are really hurting for numbers and it shows in their program for 2010. Well enjoy sleeping through those parts whomever is still in.

MY BROTHER-IN-LAW HAS DIED
by Mary inthis is one post i had always hoped i would never have to do, but after a long and brave battle, my beloved brother in law has died.
i have done a couple of threads on this in the past, so many of you know the battles he was facing.
he had been diagnosed earlier this year with myelodysplastic syndrome and the mortality rate of this disease is quite high.

Blood and the Hospital Liaison Committee
by BathroomServant1 inbefore i ask the question i have, i'll present some background information.. my story: when i was 16, i was hospitalized with bone marrow cancer for an extended period of time.
of course, the blood issue came up as doctors noticed that i may quickly need one.
at the time being fully "in", i refused one, but being a minor the doctors pushed the issue to the court system.

Thanks for the info and links everyone, I'll definitely check those out. This was just always a sore subject for me, and I'm glad I came out of "lurking mode" so I could have some sort of closure...
Now for the rest of my issues... lol!

Anyone know the answer to the question originally posed?
So, I guess the question I have is this: Does anyone have an experience working on the Hospital Liaison Committee or know if the instructions are to enforce this point with the patient? Of course it's a total CYA move for the Society, but I was wondering if this is standard practice or not.

November 15 2009 Watchtower (Study Edition) - Treasure Your Place in the Congregation...
by CrazyBlonde inthought this one was quite creepy - the article to be studied january 11-17 "treasure your place in the congregation", page 13 para 5 reads (italics mine):.
"the spirit that now operates in the sons of disobedience" is so widespread that it is like the air we breathe.

Hmm, so we're not supposed to question whether what we are being taught is true or not according to WT dogma.
2 Corinthians 13:5- Keep testing whether YOU are in the faith, keep proving what YOU yourselves are. Or do YOU not recognize that Jesus Christ is in union with YOU? (NWT)

Mary, I'm truly sorry to hear that your brother-in-law is no doubt suffering immensely. It is a disease that I wouldn't wish on even a member of the Governing Body. ( And that's a strong statement from what I've read so far on this forum)
Fortunately for me, the cancer only effected the white cells when I was diagnosed. They were able to start heavy chemo at an early enough stage that I was able to pull through. I've been in remission for 7 years now. I wish I could tell you exactly what to do in this situation, but there are so many variants when dealing with any cancer in general. Do you know what type exactly he has?

Snoozy,
Thank you for your response, part of the healing process is talking and relating with others. I'm so sorry about your husband, that is never an easy thing to go through and never fully heals. It's a shame too that they stopped showing an interest in him, you know the religion that practices "Christian love"?
I needed a blood transfusion, plain and simple. I should be dead right now, but some how I pulled through. I know that blood isn't always an easy clear cut decision to take when you never know what may be undetectable in it. I'm sure that in this day and age though that it is a lot safer than ever before. If my life depended on it, I most certainly would accept one now.
Besides, I think that's why it was ever in the Bible in the first place. It was unsafe to eat let alone medicine of that day and age. This is 2009...What happened to respect for life?

At the time being fully "in", I refused one, but being a minor the doctors pushed the issue to the court system. I received a visit from a member of the Hospital Liaison Committee, a much older brother who was well known throughout the circuit for his work in helping JW's in hospitals.
After meeting with me and encouraging me to hold firm to my beliefs, he was about to leave... but then almost perfectly timed he said, "Oh, and by the way... when you talk to the judge about the blood issue, don't say that you'll be disfellowshipped if you take a transfusion." That was perhaps my first red flag that went up in my head that he made it a point to tell me that.
So, I guess the question I have is this: Does anyone have an experience working on the Hospital Liaison Committee or know if the instructions are to enforce this point with the patient? Of course it's a total CYA move for the Society, but I was wondering if this is standard practice or not.
