  The dpa-E Bi Medical Directive document in part reads:
  
  

  I consent to my relevant medical records and the details of my condition being shared with the Emergency Contact below and/or with member(s) of the Hospital Liaison Committee for Jehovah’s Witnesses.

  Now I, for one, would not want to have "my relevant medical records and the details of my condition being shared with the HLC.

  They tattletale for sure.

  He then said that after that when the 144k are all in heaven the memorial will no longer be observed.

  . . . so, then, the memorial celebration will come to a finish before Armageddon. The latest teaching says that the 'remnant' will be called to heaven - raptured - before the big A.

  Correct?

  Sheesh, . . . . is he trying to explain the deeper things of God’s Word?

  Growing to maturity requires that we learn to draw nourishment from solid food, the deeper truths of God’s Word. Otherwise, our perceptive powers will necessarily remain limited.

  . . . after all, it appears the perceptive powers have remained limited with them.

  2015-12-17-boe already, you dear brothers have done so well, sending gifts both large and small.

  The WTBTS knows exactly how to suck them:
  

  If you donate £100 per year to us, the government will give us, currently, a further £25. Cumulatively this is very significant.

  Jeffro, isn't there somewhere on their website a login needed - elders only access?

  
  That's where I think a mole will do.

  Do I have to login to get that question asked? . . . I am not a member - is that for membership personnel only?

  Jeffro, one way of circumventing their foolproof protection system:

  singapore slashes publication bans, but not for jehovah's witnesses.

  strait-laced singapore has slashed the number of publications it bans to 17 from a previous 257, allowing some communist and adult topics, but kept a prohibition on jehovah's witnesses publications.. newly permitted books include "fanny hill", a british novel published in 1748 said to be the first erotic novel in english, and "the long march", a chinese communist history.. a number of the de-gazetted publications were out of print or were permissible under today's content standards, the media development authority said in an emailed statement explaining the changes.. adult magazines such as playboy, penthouse and hustler remain banned, as are publications by the jehovah's witnesses church produced by its watch tower bible and tract society and the international bible students association.. the church's publications sit in the banned list alongside "hardcore pornographic publications" that "depict female models in sexually suggestive poses and their genitals", the government agency said.. singapore deregistered the jehovahs witnesses and banned its publications in 1972 because the church objects to serving national service in the military or singing national anthems.. read more at reutershttp://www.reuters.com/article/2015/11/25/us-singapore-censorship-iduskbn0te19320151125#keowgufecfsjusvm.99

  Cool Running:

  The church's publications sit in the banned list alongside "hardcore pornographic publications" that "depict female models in sexually suggestive poses and their genitals", the government agency said.

  By Their Own Words

  the internet is a great tool as we all know.

  i found this quote from the early book millions now living will never die to be very interesting as it seems to be the exact opposite of what jdubya's practice.

  just another example of the double-speak they engage in.

  The Encyclopedia Americana observes:
  
  

  “The truth is often disagreeable, because it fails to support prejudice or myth.”
  
  Seeing our beliefs exposed as untrue can be disillusioning, especially if we were taught by trusted religious leaders. Some might liken the experience to finding out that trusted parents were, in fact, secret criminals. But is not finding out religious truth better than living under a delusion? Is it not better to know the facts than to be manipulated by lies?

  Thanks for your research.

  Only very few JWs would ever spend time doing what has been done here: Getting to the source (material) of the matter.

  Kudos.
