a brother called me to ask who was delivering the talk at our hall.
i didn't know what he was talking about.
he then explained to me that this week, for the local needs, congregations across the us will have a brother deliver a special outline on blood transfusions.. .
The local needs part was entitled: 'How Parents Can Protect Their Children From Misuse Of Blood.'........or something along those lines.
Left me & my wife wondering why same talk thru out U.S. on local needs part? What's the need? Someone on the forum know?

Someone told me that this same talk was heard on the first day of the recent Elders school. Theme something like: 'How Parents Can Protect Their Children From Misuse Of Blood.'

OH, I almost forgot..............Thank You, Blondie. Love your reviews!
Your coverage always has a way of adding 'Spice' to the Watchtower Study meetings.

More evidence that the WTBTS is out of touch with reality and old fashioned is the depiction of Steve in the illustration as the one having the 'problem' with viewing pornography.
CNN or one of the other networks did a recent study showing women as enjoying more & more along with men the adults cable channels as well as women viewing more & more 'questionable' websites.
So here is a suggestion for the WTBTS: How about next time the topic of viewing pornography comes up for discussion, why not illustrate 2 sisters with one having the 'problem' as opposed to a brother with the 'problem'?
Get with the times GB!

Makes me wonder if the character, Roxana, in paragraph 16 is related to Andre. The WTBTS writing department personnel are such clowns!
My advice to Steve (Par 11): Avoid JW 'friends' like Alex. Nothing wrong with you Steve, its' Alex I would worry about.
I would venture a guess that of the 11 elders and 9 ministerial servants in our hall, that 85% of us have had our share of sneeking around looking at naughty pictures either in magazines like 'Playboy', the spice channel on T.V., questionable sites on line or a current file in our head of nasty & risque thoughts......So leave Steve alone!
I would also venture a guess and say that of the two (Steve & Alex), Steve is going to have a much healthier/happier marriage and sex life!
You Go Steve!

I know of an innocent, down to earth, sweet young married couple. No priors if you will. They took a wrong turn, involving morals . The JC had no problem having them confess their sin. Very repentant. Still their heads were put on the chopping block.
Prior to the annoucement to the congregation and so as not to shock us (as we are close friends) Jim and Sally visited us to informed us that they were being DF'd.
First question from my wife to them was: Are you both sorry? Answer: A tearful yes from both of them. Another question from my wife: Were you both expecting to be DF'd for the offense? Answer: No.
My wife then turns to me and asks: Then why are they being DF'd?
My answer to my wife and to Jim and Sally: Just as we live in a 'sue happy' society, we also are members of a Society (WTBTS) that is 'disfellowship happy' and so are many of the Elder Body in our congregation.
I personally know the 3 elders on the JC............Jim and Sally didn't stand a chance.
You are soo right, oompa, repentance is not enough. Too many times JCs want BLOOD!
Unlike Jesus Christ, Judicial Committees can be mean, spiteful, merciless and harsh. They want you to BLEED!
Wish you and your sons well.
