for those of you who have already faded due to family still being in, have you noticed how the noose is tightening?.
if it's not memorial, it's special day assembly.
if it's not that, it's convention or the special talk.
I haven't carried a blood card in 5-10 years, nor has my spouse. My spouse has said (more than once) that the logic behind the blood policy is weak at best, and easily argued against...but would still refuse blood when it came down to it. A little confusing, but I haven't ever pushed on the issue.
If this scheme of collecting copies of everyone's blood cards does play out, I'll be curious to see how it plays out in my family.
here's why the governing body did that little line on jw broadcasting, i have a source still inside new york and being as sneaky as ever, the watchtower is claiming they need the cash because they forgave the kingdom hall mortgages!
not all the kingdom halls are hitting the targeted monthly donation-revenue range, they are still asking other kingdom halls to pony up cash for kingdom halls that can't afford the "recommended donation rate".
pure evil, that's the jehovah"s witness watchtower theocratic war in action!
tim3l0rdan hour agoI saw the same post as you. Someone posted a copy of it on Reddit. It read like it was full of sarcasm to me. I really hope it was someone being sarcastic or an exjw trolling.
couple of weeks ago an elder took a young man aside and crawled all over him after the tms for wearing a "skinny" tie.
it was one of those 2 inch wide ties.
nothing bright or scandalous about.
On theWayOut, "As an elder, I wore animal ties."
Haha...can't imagine many elders are wearing Hermes animal print ties!!!

ecan6an hour agoDid you just say that the Elders want to keep a copy of your medical directives? That is, there is the one that you are expected to keep in your wallet and now they want a copy that is to be kept else where??
You should confirm with each member of your group that they have a signed, witnessed and dated AD document, less than 5 years old. It is helpful to review the completeness and legibility of the document to ensure no mistakes have been made.
For each member of your group, check that copies have been lodged with the witnesses of the AD document, the emergency contact, the publisher’s GP, and the congregation secretary.
we thank our informant for these documents and hope he/she will remain under the radar safely!.

If they ask you for a copy, ask if they comply with all the medical records privacy laws. In the States we have HIPAA (which technically only applies to health care providers), but you can ask if they VOLUNTARILY comply with it. Then show them the privacy requirements:

Tell them you will provide a copy when they can show that their recordkeeping policies and procedures satisfy these requirements.

£150m?????????? Whose valuation is this, the IBSA's?
Have they factored in the going rates which would be charged by tradesmen and everyone else involved in a major construction, but which of course the IBSA is receiving for free?
It could be that they will be using commercial construction companies to build portions or all of this. For instance, I believe all the steel construction going on in Warwick is being done by outside contractors, and I saw on this month's JW broadcast that the new facility in South Africa is being built by outside contractors rather than volunteers "to save time".

I too thought that the WTS was letting the "blood issue" slip into the shadows of history. These letters seem to indicate the complete opposite. At least now I can prepare in advance what I'll say when they ask for a copy of mine.
the congregation that i am associated with pledged a monthly amount for the construction of a new assembly hall.
after it was built, that was where we went for several years, even though it was the farthest-away place we had ever had for our circuit assemblies.. after a few years, lo and behold, our congregation is assigned to a new circuit where (surprise!
) a new assembly hall is in the early stages of construction.
No, it's other congregations. Very likely some which are closer to it. But my point is that the cong. That I associate with keeps getting milked but the Halls keep getting further away. There will never be an end to the pledging
At least you find peace in knowing that no matter how much you've contributed, or if the hall is completely paid for, the "expenses" of the one day assembly you attend there will always be confusingly high, and you'll always be running a "deficit" when the post-lunch break announcement is made.
i am skipping the details on how we got to this point.
conversation was calmed and pleasant and while i know she is not the most educated person (she can hardly read), its hard to justify it by saying is a matter of ignorance.
it is definitely something inside her that triggers on that very moment.. me: i don't know where all the money is going.
Wait...a J-dub that doesn't have strong critical thinking skills???
Shocked. Absolutely shocked.

merritt island shopping mall in florida allows the harmful pedophile protecting cult to spread their propaganda to their unsuspecting customers...here's contact info for management http://www.merrittsquaremall.com/info/management.
I say let them have at it - put their stupidity out there in public on display. The numbers will eventually show that their marketing strategies are farts in the wind.
I'll be curious to see if all these fancy new preaching technique (kiosks, carts, website, etc.) generate even a slight uptick over the historical average of 1-2% growth of publishers year-over-year for the next 5 years...unless Armageddon comes before then, that is.....
Similarly, I'd be curious to see if there has been a marked increase in the year-over-year growth % in Memorial attendance since the annual month-long invitation work/30 hr pioneer work began.
