  They worship a scribal error by a 14th century Catholic clergyman. 🙄

  Just out of curiosity, could JWs have a costume/fancy dress party at all (as long as it's not on a certain October evening)?

  i overheard a discussion between two jws, they said that when someone is disfellowshipped, they are asked to hand their blood card back to the elders.

  i had never heard of this before, is this correct?.

  "It's not like the old days where at a meeting each year everyone was asked to fill out a new one and get it witnessed."

  I once asked a question about this on here* and there were a few doubtfuls, in the UK, anyway, but I was sure that I'd read about that sort of thing a couple of decades ago. Did WT legal disallow it, due to the obvious smoking gun of WT interference in "a conscience matter"? Could anyone in the congregation not turn up to the meeting? Could you get away with not having a blood card?

  *Found the thread:

  Apparently HIPAA killed that little exercise in authoritarian overreach. 🙄

  Why would you hand it over to the elders? It's your document, your property. You should burn/shred it at the first opportunity and make sure that they don't have any future say in your healthcare.

  Sounds dodgy to me. If the disfellowshipped person is hospitalised, needing a blood transfusion and unconscious, the elders could give the blood card to the HLC, who could then use it to stop a transfusion, even if the disfellowshipped person is fine with one.

  So much for the reformed, "kinder and gentler" WT. When the HLCs are disbanded and the corpses of every last GB member are hanging from gibbets, being feasted upon by carrion fowl, I'll believe in WT reform!

  "An elder and I talked about this along time ago out in service. He said he knew the friends were saying they would give other times of the year to each other but in reality they never do, He said that was a sad fact."

  Giving presents diverts money away from "da Worldwide work™️" 🙄

  "We’re seeing the Borg trying to project the appearance of reinventing itself."

  "Not quite the same thing."

  Amen. When they start dismantling the HLCs, I'll believe that they are genuinely interested in reform.
