Yes, sure, we love the GB.

But, I do feel the need to see other people now and then.

i just got the new document about blood fractions from the wt, they will allow you to choose hemoglobin, but apparently not packed red blood cells, but in the medical journal i see nothing about hemoglobin infusions, is this even possible or just more bullshit from the wt?

Quarterback

The link provided from Secret Slave above gives a good explanation.

It is the oxygen carrying component of RBCs. Oxygen binds to hemoglobin with high affinity in an oxygen-rich environment and leaves hemoglobin in an environment where there is not enough oxygen.

You see whole blood consists of different components. One of these components has H20 (water) in it. Are you going to deprive yourself of water in an operation because it is a component of the blood cells? That is the rationale behind the acceptance of the various components

What makes WT think they can reassign Bethel volunteers to be Regular Pioneers.

by Zoos in

when the gb cuts loose 1600 volunteers, what makes them think they can continue telling them how they will spend their time?

i've read on many of these threads that the 1600 will be reassigned.

what, are they still under some sort of contract?.

Quarterback

They won't qualify for Unemployment Ins, but Welfare will help them

Being sent off as Reg Pion's is really a good one. It gives the impression to those on the outside, that these guys need financial help. The cong's are already told to help out pion's, feed them, find them work, shelter, encouragment etc. Don't forget the WWW. It's a lot more dignified than being classified as a Layed off Bethel worker.

Any thoughts on the real reasons for droppng the 'school"

by sparrowdown in

jw
friends

my thoughts are.

1. they want to avoid being made to comply with any laws that come with anything classed as a "school" especially a school with children enrolled.. 2. the mid-week meeting has been dying in the ass for years and needs a revival.

i predict happy -clappy-sing-a-longs to be included in the program.. anyone else have any thoughts ??

Quarterback

Another reason for dropping that school is because no one could explain that, "Generation", thing. The GB body decided to quit while ahead, before someone asked the question, "What is a Householder? Is it someone who holds a house? Why are Householders, females?

Calm Down Everybody, We Will Know Soon Enough

seriously, they will change the midweek meeting ever so slightly.

it is just repackaging of the same old stuff.seriously, we don't know if construction is halted for days, weeks, months, forever, or what.. we don't know if new kingdom halls will still go up, old kingdom halls will be closed and sold.

they have laid off bethelites before and they will lay them off some more.

Quarterback

I speculate that the TMS is not cancelled. I believe that it will be transferred to a different night. Like Family Worship night. There you have it. Now each parent is the TMS councillor, and gets to practice their skills on thier kids.

I would say the reason for rebranding the school is because of the dropouts. You had students in that school that lasted longer than a person who had to go to school to become a Dr. The students had worked on every counsel point with flying colours, only to find themselves being tested again with a failing mark from the Counselor. It was the Merry-go-round that lasted for decades. It started as a hidden agenda to allow women to teach in the congregation then ended with everyone crying, "Enough already".

let's review: it's a cult!.

allrighty--got thinking about it in this thread.

isn't it odd that, of all things, that isn't on the list of df offenses?

Quarterback

I think that you can be Marked for this. They will put a big "C" on your shirt. For Casper the friendly ghost.
