At least when we were getting guidance how to fill the bloody card, it was clearly stated that all the choices you put there are totally personal and family, witness, emergency person should not get involved in that part.

FDS Obedience Vs. JW Marriage
by allyouneedislove inis the obedience the fds expects from jws the same obedience that jw wives owe their jw husbands?.
if yes, would this mean that a jw wife should submit to any medical direction that came from her husband, even if the consequences were serious?
would this mean that it would be right for a jw husband to tell his wife if blood fractions, organ transplant, etc.

It is very interesting indeed that the daily text is not on prominent place on their website. There is a schedule for your personal bible reading but not today's text. What would be easier way to keep content dynamic. And I'm sure there is someway to check the time from browser in order to show correct days text.

The very WORST and BEST places to find out what the Bible REALLY teaches?
by Fernando inworst - religion/ists (pharisees, sanhedrin/gb, ruling religious clergy class).
best - direct from the source (our heavenly father, his son, the holy spirit, john 14:26; 15:26; 16:13; 1 john 2:27) by pursuing their full and counterintuitive "unabridged gospel" message to all humans (rom 10:16,17; isa 61:1; john 8:36).. next best - spiritually strong persons of faith (acts 8:12,26-40, especially verse 35).
your thoughts, suggestions, websites, videos, constructive criticism, quotes - anyone?.

Genesis 1:26, works in both cases.

To the subject matter itself. This suggestion is absolutelly very avantgarde. I had a bad habbit to study it during WT study, and when I was done and the others weren't yet, I studied also the other articles in magazine. My wife used to poke me and look angry at me, but I couldn't help myself.

Brother Hero wants to watch Faith in Action with me this Saturday
by garyneal inthe question i have is, should i even bother?
i am not even sure why he wants to watch this particular video.
ive already seen it with my wife a few days ago and already seen how they leave a lot of details out concerning their teachings of old.

Well, if he against his will is forced/encouraged to watch this film, what wouldn't make more sense than doing this as reportable time.

With all the bethel closures where are they going to find replacement GBs or writers etc ?
by mP inanother post gives the stats that about 20 bethels have closed over the last 2 years.
lets assume that this continues at half the rate in another 10 years there will be few or a dozen bethels left.
if theres no bethel in spain, portugal, france, italy and they all go thru germany what chance does that give jws in those lands to ever get a chance at the big bethel in germany ?

Evil Elderettes, the true Hounds of Hell!
by Bubblegum Apotheosis inmy wife was told a brother was going to be disfellowshiped, "how do you know this is going to happen?
" sister so-so said "he was not repentant or humble to the brother's kindness.
" instead of engaging into a heated debate, she knew who the leak was, so-so's husband.

Less literature for Field Service means more Bible usage...
by Alfred ini recently asked my jw elder brother (who thinks i'm just "inactive") what he makes of the reduction in pages of the wt & awake rags.... his response was something like:.
well this was something that has been discussed for a long time.
the society feels that the brothers need to start using the bible more in field service so they are slowly reducing the pages of the literature to encourage the brothers to read the bible more and not depend so much on the literature.

Well, as far as I remember (I admit I have lost lots of memory of last times things) it was encouraged that only one article should be brought up at the door based on the interest of door opener. To my understanding there will still be two magazines to offer, which certainly will contain at least one article you can bring up at the door, as earlier. Do not sound right at all.
