markwetherill - “If the blood doctrine was removed, that'd be one less thing for JWs to feel smug and superior about.”
Honestly?
I don’t think there are all that many rank-and-filers who feel particularly smug about it.

25Would there, or would there not be, lawsuits if they took away the blood transfusion ban?
by VerdadTJ2 ini have heard or read, many times by many exjw's, that the org does not remove the blood transfusion ban because it would be crippled by the resulting lawsuits the minute that "new light" was made official.i am not a lawyer, but i would like to know what legal opinion lawyers have on that.on what legal basis would there be a lawsuit?
"i am suing the watchtower because my relative died because of a rule they had but no longer have"?am i missing something?.

unbaptized boy having priority over women
by enoughisenough ini was thinking about the male children ( even unbaptized ) being placed ahead of the sisters.
; and i thought the jw were raising a bunch of misogynist.
would these kids not feel more important than their mothers let alone other women.

DesirousOfChange - “…Apparently, WT HQ has determined that getting these young people (I mean boys) involved in Cong activities will keep them interested in future goals/positions.”
At this point, the only young guys who’d aspire toward positions in a repressive ultraconservative church are so unskilled and socially crippled, they have virtually no other life prospects.

DoC…

All good… I’m married with two girls (and my mom lives in the basement).
You’re a woman in a houseful of men, I’m a man in a houseful of women.

They need to be a legal entity for human law: but which law?
by psyco ini could be mr. green and, due to mistrust considering the times and what is happening, study with the jws as mr. brown.. get baptized as mr. brown.. become one of their congregation elders as mr. brown.. etc.
etc.. all this since i am not required to provide any signature and/or document to identify myself as mr. brown.. are they complying with human law?
but which law?.

Case in point… signing up for the redress scheme in Australia after the ARC.
The WTS dragged their heels until the very, very last second, and only budged when it became apparent their Charity Status was on the chopping block (they as much as admitted it, and their public statement sounded quite sulky to me, in fact 😏).
Looking back, I think that was when we first started cluing on something that seems painfully obvious, now (and virtually every bit of evidence we've seen since confirms it, IMO)…
…that the Org’s business model is almost completely dependent on its tax-exemption.
They literally can’t afford to lose it.

Something the WTS conveniently forgets to mention if/when they have to acknowledge that their charity status requires certain things.
