  They really should alter the whole non-blood policy, whole, and fractions into a personal concience decision. They won't do this because of the amount of lives that were affected by the early non-blood policy. A reversal of this would really send shockwaves throughout the whole organization.

  I'm tired of seeing young people die of Leukemia in our faith, and I have an elderly neighbour in the 80's have his transfusion and continue's to live. The diffirence is, the fear of exercising your right of concience, because of consequences.

  Understand: Our salvation is not Jesus' primary concern

  by pixel in

  ...at least that's what the sunday study said:.

  "at the same time, we need to understand that our salvation is not jesus' primary concern.

  his main purpose from the beginning to the end of his earthly ministry was to work for the sanctification and glory of his father's name".

  Yes good observation, Pixel. I wondered about that when it was considered at the WT study.

  Scully, I do remember those cold Quebec winters. You should become a snowbird like me. Half the year I wear no tie, and sandals in FS, and the other half I wear a tie.

  Why not use the same advice for the use of medicinal marijuana

  by I_love_Jeff in

  watchtower states: "moderation in all things is a bible principle".

  why not use the same advice for the use of medicinal marijuana?

  I think that the use of Medical Marijuana is ok in WT land. They just don't want you to smoke it.

  The drug name for medical marijuana is "Cessamet". It comes in tablet form. However, some complain that this form of the drug doesn't quite give you the same effect as in smoking it.

  I feel that if a person is in pain, and if smoking the drug is the only way to mask that pain, why is this not permissable?

  10 years ago I was in a third world caribbean country and I went out in service wearing my sandles, no socks, and no tie. This has been the norm for quite so time. Canada still has the strict tie rule, even when it it extremely hot.
