  i was told they were practically begging those elders and servants who are no longer "being used" to help carry the load once again.

  these people are unbelievable!.

  Thanks for sharing your post, miseryloveselders. I hope you'll stick around here. We all (in, out, ms, elders, everyone) need to commiserate and support each other as much as possible.

  Clarification on Blood in Bulgaria

  by Mad Sweeney in

  it's been established that the wt convinced the bulgarian government that there are "no sanctions" on jws who accept blood transfusions, in order to obtain legal recognition by that government.

  my question is this:.

  does the wt actually now allow bulgarian jws to accept blood transfusions without consequence?.

  Not really surprising. Pathetic and sad but not surprising.

  I don't. Not when it's replacing false JW theology with its own religious agenda. One's as bad as the other, IMO. That's why I like the factual sites like jwfacts and the WTquotes sites. They show how the WT is wrong but leave it up to the individual to determine what is right for themselves.

  But they're stuck, Yknot. They don't have anyone with the charisma to pull off any major theological change right now, so unless they're willing to risk losing a 1975-style percentage of members short-term, in their pursuit of the long-term, they're going to keep riding the status-quo.

  And nothing's going to happen until Ted Jaracz dies, anyway.

  At that point (or when he's too senile to object), all bets are off, IMO.

  OR

  Did the WT simply lie to the Bulgarian government in order to obtain legal recognition?

  I've been thinking about such things recently, as well.

  I think something small like a business card with a handful of website addresses on them. Pin them to bulletin boards. Slip them into books in the K.H. library. Put them under windshield wipers at the K.H. Leave them at doors of JWs.
