50 years in and this time last year I was going on Zoom but turning off sound and leaving the room. playing the game...instead of lamenting over 50 years ( and I literally became homeless for a while because I was trying to please hypocrites) I am thankful I am out. I don't have any friends now, save a couple of work acquaintance that I rarely see and for not long at a time. None of us are no-bodies...we are all important! I was trying to think of what the maid said to the little girl in THE HELP ( was/is free on youtube to watch ) The little girls mom didn't like her because she wasn't pretty. The maid would tell her if I recall correctly : You is smart. You is kind. You is important. ( pretty good flick if you haven't seen it. )

they lately appointed 2 new GB members...so I am thinking there is another one shortly to be removed. Anyway, it makes you wonder if Anthony was a faithful slave, how do they rid someone Jesus appointed without saying Jesus now considers him and evil slave? It is all absurb!

Blood question re: sample for testing
by carla inwhy can jw's give blood samples for testing in a medical setting?
i was with someone once (non jw related) who was getting multiple tests done and they must have taken a good pint all together in separate vials.
how do jw's square this with their blood policies?

straining gnats--the blood is poured out and so will eventually go back to the earth. ( so argue that eventually the person will die and return to the earth )

Second school
by llubrevlis2000 inhas the auxiliary class or second school been done away with?.
when i grew up in my congregation we even had three schools, so three bible readings and three lots of student assignments.. after covid it seems everything is easier, less assignments now some only seem to get one or two per year.. being an elder is much easier these days, everything is done for you.
meetings are full of videos and q&as need no preparation you could take a watchtower or cong book study with zero preparation and most midweek meetings have q&as that requires no preparation .

speaking of schools, in 2006 I moved from a Hall where I was on the school into a Hall, where the School servant ask if I was joining and I think I say yes...but that was the end of it . He evidently forgot to follow through and I was glad of it. I never joined when it was suggested from time to time for ones who weren't on the school to do so. I reasoned I had enough stress in my life without that addition. There were a few times when I forgot I had an assignment and had to scramble to throw something together ... I had been in the school for over 30 years . I didn't like doing assignments in the second school. I felt like if I put the work into it, I wanted an audience. More glad than ever now I didn't rejoin.

"loyalty above honesty"- I love it ...that says it perfectly...first a person has to stop lying to themselves. Being loyal to the org keeps them dishonest to themselves and therefore liars to all they would try to convert. Yet the JW says Jehovah wants honest hearted ones-and so the R and F pat themselves on the back because they sit in the KH because they think themselves honest hearted. Which is an interesting thought: where do they get that honest hearted bit from when the Bible says the heart is treacherous? "who can know it"

kimsilvo...funny how you can hear the same thing as another and get a different take...I thought the lawyers that all the elders are expected to talk to were for the state...anyway, that time line starts about an hour in. He mentioned the elders weren't supposed to tell other elder...like that will happen! I do hope I heard this part right: the litigation hold notification has been sent out to all the congregations...did I understand the correctly?

My crystal ball ( figuratively speaking ) is telling me, there will be Elders moving out of the state of PA...Mark did mentions it being a systematic , county by county interview, but I am thinking the word will spread...the org has likely already sent memos to the Pa. congregations.

desirousofchange,,,,resignations won't help....they are going back to 1987...so I would dare to say, even if some have left, it there name is on a CSA situation at a KH, they will get questioned. And just think of the ones who are themselves guilty and the boys club buried it...a whole lot of shakin goin on.

as to gun laws...if guns are out lawed, only outlaws willl have guns...it isn't the gun that kills but the person pulling the trigger. At 15 years old, it it likely the fellow wasn't legally old enough to have a gun...different ages for different states and I didn't look it up. I hope they catch that kid and it would be interesting to know his reasons-not that the killing is justified. I just watched a news clip where there is a gofundme for the family ( no life insurance ) per the new clip 15,000 had been raised. I feel sad for those people.
