9From The WTBTS Website On Shunning And How They Will Always Win !
by Hairyhegoat inthese comments are from the jw.org website and it's clear from this that they think they are above the law.
the court of appeals acknowledged that even if the woman felt distress because former acquaintances chose not to converse with her, "permitting her to recover for intangible or emotional injuries would unconstitutionally restrict the jehovah's witnesses free exercise of religion .
the constitutional guarantee of the free exercise of religion requires that society tolerate the type of harms suffered by [her] as a price well worth paying to safeguard the right of religious difference that all citizens enjoy.

A Concerned Elder Speaks
by Franklin Massey ina lot of talk has centered around information dispensed at the recent km schools.
many brothers feel there is a "tightening up" taking place.
i had a recent experience that you may find interesting.. after the meeting i was working with our cobe on some congregation tasks when out of nowhere he said, "have you looked up any extra information about higher education since the km school?

I think Fingers point is that if JWs really beileved everything the GB teaches, then higher education would not be an issue in their minds.

Either you believe the end is near or you dont and if you dont then you do not support the view of the GB
At the KMS school, this statement (or close to) was made: some go to higher education to prove the Governing Body wrong...
That would be a pretty stupid motivation to go to higher education, so I found this statement quite bizarre. Bottom line, the Governing Body seem to perceive attending higher education as a challenge or questioning of their authority.

At the Kingdom Ministry School I attended they said the Elders qualifications would be reviewed.
They gave a list of requirements, that if met, would not mean ineligibility for an Elder (ie. person going has spiritual goals, attends meetings, regular in ministry, etc).
@Franklin Massey, PM me if you want more details on the exact wording used in that part.

Welcome! Look forward to hearing your story. You don't have to be a full-blown JW opposer to join here. It's one of the few places a JW can openly discuss issues without fear of sanctions.

If Christians are Genuine Christians, do they need to wear a cross?
If humans are genuine non-primates, do they need to wear clothes?

I cannot tell a genuine christian from an atheist if I had to randomly identify people in a crowd. Some Christians and atheists are loving and some are not. And it depends on their mood and circumstances.

Maybe this time the GB will allows transfusion of red blood cells or platelets or both. But will forbid white blood cells
Or permit white blood cells since they naturally transfer from mom to baby in breast milk.

Hopefully it's better than last Summer's bloody "New light" that EPO has gone from Concience Matter to OK.
