Blood decisions are now your problem: WT JULY 2025
by raymond frantz inthe following is from the latest study watchtower july 2025, study article 28, paragraph 17:.
each christian must make up his or her own mind about whether to accept or to reject these fractions.
we may find it a challenge to understand this matter fully, but making decisions like this is part of the load that each of us must carry.

They are not backtracking on their blood view. This is about blood fractions. -- Duran
Exactly.
No change here.

Now they are more common, younger than us, sporting expensive duds, bling, and have nice digs. They are not waiting for heaven...they already have it.
No one partaking where we attended, but the description above sure is accurate. The old guys (my peers) were all just attendants passing the crackers & juice and the whole show was run by the younger generation (40's). And they all are looking good! Nice cars. Nice clothes. A Louis V bag caught my eye.
No one looked like they were "doing without" in order to pioneer. They are all still uttering the company line that "The End is Near" but I don't think they really are living like they believe it.

Can someone remind me the reason's you could be disfellowshipped?
by SydBarrett inthe only reasons i can remember are smoking, sexual immorality and of course, apostasy.
there must be others but having been out since 1990, i'm drawing a blank.
i was thinking perhaps serious criminal offenses that result in prison, but then i remembered a brother in my congregation in the 1980's who went to prison.

Trump Tariffs started today, Some Countries Caved in early morning.
by liam inusa politicians in charge of the economy for the past 50 years were too stupid to understand how the economy works.
this just proves my theory, that an education on the top tier universities just sucks and means nothing in the real world, unless its in the stem education.
for 50 years usa had zero tariffs on other countries.

Memorial attendance
by Balaamsass2 incurious.
what was your local memorial attendance like tonight?

DesirousOfChange
We went to keep the JW family and friends (that don't ignore us) "happy".
Attendance seemed pathetic. These used to be standing room only events. Attendance including Zoom was just barely over 100. The seats were 25% empty. In fairness, there are two events held at this location and we went to the late (2nd) one, so likely some of the older members went to the early one. Still . . . .
. . . . it ain't like it used to be.
AND I MUST ADD -- I did not hear "this may be the last time we do this . . . ."

a person whose existence was testified to by plenty of witnesses.
Name the plenty. Where is their testimony.
Matthew Mark Luke & John are only ONE testimony (you can only count the Bible once).
History may agree a man known as Jesus, son of Joseph, walked the earth, but where are these testimonies to raising the dead, healing the sick, feeding multitudes? Nowhere but the Bible. Somehow these things were not significant enough to make the "Jerusalem Times" (history).

Are There any JW Teaching that you DO Agree With?
by NotFormer in(apologies for the typo in the title.

i misread vanderhoven7's most recent post as being the above.

Sorry to hear of your diagnosis.
I received similar news around Christmas of 2022. Did 45 radiation treatments and 18 months of chemo. Monitoring things with testing every 30-90 days. So far, so good. Presently, no evidence of cancer. I'm also about your age, so I suspect I will likely succumb to other issues as a sedentary, overweight, red meat consuming, regular drinker of good scotch.
No longer expecting the Big A to escape the final eventuality of all men (at least to date).
Carpe diem!
