Down to 623 patrons now.

Hope sharing this info doesn't cost me a high profile lawsuit!

Has Lloyd's legal rampage stalled, or is he just regrouping the might of his legal arsenal?

Am I Expected to Become One of Jehovah’s Witnesses if I Study the Bible With Them?

by Ron.W. in

I remember a geriatric circuit overseer conducting a servants and elders meeting with us back in 1999.

He said "If you have any cosy return visits that take the mags, invite you in but don't accept a bible study you must ditch them as the end is so close. We're only looking for those that want to be saved."

I thought, "You can get lost with that idea - Old Mrs Jones who gives us a glass of sherry and a slice of cake every couple of weeks on a Saturday is the only thing that makes weekend ministry remotely tolerable!"

He then added " With the extremely advanced age of all the current governing body (1999) how long can Armageddon be - it must be just around the corner!"

I wrote his comments down in the back of my maroon bible...it is now 2022....

Great reference Longlivetherenagades, thank you.

I noticed paragraph 17 in the same wt Jan study article states:

*** w20 January p. 7 par. 20 “Go, Therefore, and Make Disciples” ***

Rather than spend more time conducting an unproductive study, we need to find someone who gives evidence that he is “rightly disposed for everlasting life.

Am I Expected to Become One of Jehovah’s Witnesses if I Study the Bible With Them?

No, you are not obligated in any way. Millions enjoy our Bible study program without becoming Jehovah’s Witnesses. * The purpose of the program is to show you what the Bible teaches. What you decide to do with that knowledge is up to you. We recognize that faith is a personal matter.—Joshua 24:15.

Footnote

* Showing the scope of our study program, during 2021 we conducted 5,908,167 Bible studies each month, many of these with several people at once. Yet only 171,393 people were baptized as Jehovah’s Witnesses that year.

Contrast the above with today’s Day’s Text below:

*** Text for 20 March 2022 ***

Sunday, March 20

I have resolved to obey your regulations at all times, down to the last.—Ps. 119:112.

We need to be patient when helping a student progress to dedication and baptism. But at some point, we need to find out if he has the desire to serve Jehovah God. Do you see signs that the student is trying to obey Jesus’ commandments? Or does he only want to learn facts from the Bible? Regularly analyze the progress that the student is making. For example, does he express his feelings for Jehovah? Does he pray to Jehovah? (Ps. 116:1, 2) Does he enjoy reading the Bible? (Ps. 119:97) Is he attending the meetings regularly? (Ps. 22:22) Has he made any needed changes in his lifestyle? Has he started sharing what he is learning with his family and friends? (Ps. 9:1) Most important, does he want to become one of Jehovah’s Witnesses? (Ps. 40:8) If the student is not making progress in any of these areas, tactfully try to find out why and then discuss the matter with him kindly but frankly. w20.10 18 ¶14-15

Administering a Blood Transfusion When Directed by a Superior- Jehovah's Witness Policy

by Ron.W. in

administering a blood transfusion when directed by a superior - jehovah's witness policy effective june 15th, 2018. while the hospital liasion committee elders were instructed that they may inform doctors and nurses of this decision, this letter was not allowed to be distributed to anyone outside of hlc members.. as a result of the concealment of this letter, and by virtue of the fact that this information was only to be shared verbally with jehovah's witness medical professionals and others, confusion erupted across the united states and in other branch offices of jehovah's witnesses.

countless letters were received at watchtower headquarters in new york from concerned jw nurses, paramedics, and others who were instructed verbally on this new policy, but which contradicted existing written policy that had been in effect for many decades.. in addition to letters from witness medical professionals, circuit overseers in the field wrote to the us branch and hospital information desk in new york about the problems caused by this unreleased policy.

for example, south carolina circuit overseer brandon roberts reported to headquarters that "the majority of the nurses in our circuit were not aware of this updated policy.

I'm not sure sorry.

Reading Mark O'Donnell's reddit summary makes me think if he had not brought it to light nobody except those involved in the HLC dept and maybe JW medical professionals would ever have become aware of it?
