" So it's 11 years old but still they were stressing against independent thinking way back then."
When have they ever done otherwise?
brother melvin mallett delivers a talk entitled beware the spirit of independence.

JWs... a Religion of/for The Willfully Ignorant
yesterday a letter was read in our congregation.
it said that there have been doctrinal changes in many chapters of the book 'god's kingdom rules' so everyone but especially the conductor must be sure to use the latest update of the book.. this book is only ...how old?
two years?
Their books have an amazingly short shelf life!!
this new broadcast features interviews with bethelites from south africa that were fired reassigned to the ministry field.
i almost feel sorry for these people who gave their all thinking they would be taken care of for who-knows how many years.
however they were let go in the blink of an eye.
It would seem they are exporting a considerable percentage of disillusioned, disgruntled 40/50-somethings into the local congregations; it's gonna hard be for at least some of them not to vent their gripes to the locals.
i have never understood this.
was it because of legal reasons?
i cant think of any other reason why it wouldn't be allowed, but i know the elders ask you repeatedly that you are not taping.
So I guess there won't be any court stenographers in the New World....
just skimming the latest study wt that has been posted and what did i see...?.
i wonder what the message is that they want the flock to take from this picture?.
there is also an article about training younger men to take over responsibilities.
That's it boys, keep it up... until the hemorrhage of young people reaches 100 percent, and the organization sinks into total irrelevance..
the message would appear to be that jehovah needs money more than that old lady needs food:.

They're really going off the rails; this is another example of why they split the Watchtower off into two editions; to hide this type of hard-core craziness from the uninitiated public.
i appreciate all the expressions of interest and solidarity.
it has been a very intense week.
i started with the help of many of you, a particular war for my rights as a european citizen.. we have achieved an important space and advertising with a single complaint, which is a great success that i share with you all.. the press has not only spoken about a single complaint, but they gave a full coverage on asocial behavior of jehovah's witnesses and the last, a very hard editorial from the newspaper el periodico director (link).
Excellent, amigo! I suggest you send a link to the excellent Italian dissident JW blog: http://www.geova.org
patient blood management arose out of bloodless medicine and alternatives to blood transfusions.
pbm has been accepted as the standard of care in australia and has been implemented into the health care systems of other countries such as canada.
a prominent promoter of pbm has been aryeh shander from englewood hospital in new jersey.
Any reference to "Basics of Blood Management" as it applies to JWs is a disingenuous misnomer.
Herewith their version of "blood management:" Deuteronomy 15:23 -- "pour it out on the ground like water."
now i know i am getting older or of the older generation.
i have had a very strange day with a lot of strange dealings with people with strange behavior today but this one incident was just over the top.
so i came out of a store in a busy shopping center.
Right on, rebelfighter; no way is this acceptable behavior. Never was, never is.
