  George Martin the Fifth Beatle

  by Finkelstein in

  2. current

  george martin the studio recording producer who helped and assisted the beatle's music mature into music that garnered even more public appeal has passed on.. he did this by infusing his own classical background experience into the simplistic pop writings of mccartney and lennon.

  the result was some the best songs ever composed by this band.

  You have support here!

  In the Witness arrangement, she really shouldnt date you until you are baptized. The fact that you are saying "nothing has happened" should only warrant what is called "strong counsel" at this point.

  The problem is going to be that they will want you to cease meeting each other until after your baptism.

  I know that will be hard but that is going to be what they tell you.

  Hi trueloveneverfails,

  So what happens now for you?

  I imagine this is very stressful in the moment. You have a lot of resources here. A lot of clear thinkers with a lot of experience.

  the boe project owes her for helping it to get started.. example:.

  JW Rumspringa

  by SonoftheTrinity in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  are jehovah's witnesses on their way to practicing amish style rumspringa?

  basically pushing young people out into the world and seeing who comes back with their faith intact.

  after so many generations of discouraging education, it seems like an easy way to ensure that there are some educated born-ins.

  JW leaders feel very threatened by young men.

  If you want to see a good example of it, watch a young man try to rise in the ranks.

  He either has to be connected to powers that be

  Be super pioneer/spiritual

  Just threw away...

  by stephanie61092 in

  so even though i don't drive much because public transit is so good where i live (and parking is a living nightmare), i always had a paper taped onto my glove box that said "no blood transfusions - jehovahs witness.

  see legal documentation in wallet.

  going through this "wake up" process as been a very crazy, emotional experience.

  Hi stephanie ,I really admire that you are taking the time to pay attention to all those little steps we all go through in going from all the way "in" to all the way "out" of this religion. There sure are a lot of them arent there?

  So many good points have already been presented here by other posters but I wanted to share something with you that shocked me personally.

  Right after I began fading, I had a chance to talk with an elder I knew to be very discreet and very up on all things Org.

  He was the one who told me that he had been shocked when the Society began backing off ever so slightly on their blood policy. The way it stands now, if a baptized person takes blood, the elders dont have to be automatically harsh with them judicially. In some cases, it can just be handled very quietly.

  While it is true that this is no rip roaring change in doctrine, it IS a sign that the Org is in the beginning stages of waffling on their blood policy.

  So what that tells me is - I am NOT going to risk my life and perhaps lose it only to find out later that they changed the policy in a "new light" moment.

  There have been too many times they reverse themselves to entrust something as serious as a life and death decision to them.

  I am glad I had that conversation. Not having access to an elders manual (being a lowly woman and all) I wouldnt have known if I hadnt accidentally come across the fact in a conversation.
