  The Blood muddle

  i could do with some help to sort out this fraction muddle .we are inactive and of the conscious class , but trying to help others see the 'light' in whatever ways we can .. a couple of years ago , i asked an elder about the fractions , questioning particularly the 33% hemoglobin allowed in the 06 km insert .

  when i was a wee girl growing up , nothing of any part was allowed and we were fanatical to even write manufacturers and question their ingredients !!.

  i would like to have a list of allowable fractions according to the societies current light , and also what fractions are not allowed .

  Leaving bethel References ?

  by leo999 in

  i would like to know from anyone who has left bethel .

  do the brothers give the people leaving bethel an employment reference , and how is it worded ?

  i would prefer to think that if someone is asked to leave due to downsizing , or restructuring , that the bros do everything they can to enable that one to find employment and cope outside .

  so looking at the worldwide report , the baptisms are down , many countries are 0 growth ,publishers, hours , and studies up because of changes in reporting methods .

  but just how long can the propping up of numbers happen for , before the real downward slide starts ?

  a year or two tops , which will be real close to 2014 .

  i always have felt that the meetings at the kh lacked any spirit , were more like an academic exercises , with boring speakers lacking any enthusiam .

  there seemed to never be any holy spirit flowing or if there was , it bypassed me !!.

  coming out now from this , i have to admit being a little scared by some of the services i have only heard about , where they say the holy spirit is poured out , as it is sooo different to what we have been used to .. so i guess what i'm trying to ask is , have any of you ever had an ' experience ' or received the holy spirit , and you knew for sure it was that , and can you share how you knew and what it felt like ?.

  Elders dont know much !!

  by leo999 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the reasons that i started to 'wake up' from 50 odd years of slumbering in the 'truth' was the realization that the elders just do not know very much at all .

  in fact they are so very ignorant !.

  2 years ago , i was trying to fill in the advance blood directive form , or whatever it is called and i had the km insert on the allowable fractions to refer to .
