- 23 day to go .. annual meeting unofficial rumors.
- new bible.
- new nwt (revision).
Wow! The AGM is only a day away!! It seems to sneak up on me every year. I haven't been on here in a while, but thought I would check in. I'm thinking the new bible makes sense, and probably new understandings of Revelation. 144k being figurative and not literal would fix the predicament they created with the overlapping generation nonsense, but it will create a whold bunch of other problems as well.
Thanks to anyone and everyone who gets us the information from the annual meeting!
my father had an angioplasty this morning and was admitted immediately for coronary artery bypass surgery due to major blockages found.. how likely or necessary is a blood transfusion for this?.
what's the latest policy on blood?.
i realize there's likely a thread or two dedicated to the subject but i'm looking for the short answer from those in the know, at least on the latter.. i only found out this morning and am heading to the hospital now.
Blood transfusions are seldom used anymore in bypass surgery. Doctors like to have it available, but if he's an active JW, they won't press the issue too far. I've had several family members have multiple bypasses done, and none have had doctors balk at the idea of not using blood.
he is accused of performing "abortions" after the birth of live babies.
where does planned parenthood stand on this case?.
.
The more the anti-abortion zealots push the states to enact legislation that make safe, accessible abortion services unable to operate,
the more of these kinds of horror stories we will see.
This is complete and utter B.S. To blame pro-lifers for this is like blaming the Allied forces for the holocaust. This is the fault of one man and his staff.

Glander: They are silent. Planned Parenthood has no problem with murdering infants. This is infanticide and Planned Parenthood has said before that whether or not a child, who is born alive after a botched abortion, should be saved is up to the parent and the doctor. Disgusting.
Don't take my word for it, here's Planned Parenthood testifying before congress:
he was my dad's favorite.
i can remember many many evenings my uncles coming over (all jw's) and listening to the old vinyl records (which i still enjoy).
its kind of a strange time in my life.
Are there no George Jones fans here?

I am 40 and my dad passed away 6 years ago. The people I remember growing up with and around either as personal friends, relatives or entertainers that I have never met are starting to die off. It makes me think of my own mortality.
Anyway, here's to George:

right at the finish line - seems too coincidental to be anything other than a purposeful act.
I really thought at first this was an Islamic terrorist bombing, but I have a feeling this is some sort of an occupy Boston or Mcveigh-esque bombing. The reason I think this is that no one has come forward to claim responsibility. If it were islamic terrorists, they would waste no time in taking credit.
anybody know what the jw divorce rate is these days?.
how many dub couples do you know that got divorced?.
.
I remember a CO giving a talk several years ago, and he said the JW divorce rate was about 50% just like the "world"
so by now, we all know about the "new light" concerning the "faithful and discreet slave" class being the governing body and just the governing body.
other "anointed ones" need not apply.
you've been summarily kicked to the curb.
Even if you accept the new FDS identity as the GB, there was no GB until 1975!!! That's what I see as the largest glaring hole in this new doctrine.
under the old light, from 33 ce onward, there was always an anointed remnant on earth, and these constituted the faithful and discreet slave class whom jesus had appointed over his domestics to give them spiritual meat in due season.. but the new light is that the "anointed" were not the faithful and discreet slave after all.. in fact, according to the new light, jesus did not appoint anyone as faithful and discreet slave over his domestics until 1919 (not even the apostles or russell).. so according to the new light, who or what was jehovah's visible organization from the death of the apostles until 1919?.
who was authorized to provide spiritual food in due season?.
where is the continuity?.
The really odd thing is there wasn't a Governing Body until 1975!!!! But the choosing appointment of the FDS happened in 1919? Try pointing that out to your favorite JW.
