@ WASBLIND.. I know that sounds moronic, but what I mean by that is the Awake usually is a lighter piece that lightly touches on the bible. The Watchtower, in my opinion, is what deals more with doctrines and the societys propoganda.

by Theredeemer inso, my mother in law who is still active went out in service with the group that had the co visit and came back with some very interesting news.
first off, she knows that we are fading and is ok with it and has some doubts herself.
anyhow, she said that the co went off track during the meeting before service and mentioned how we are now allowed to receive up to 33% of blood in a transfusion.

A word of caution
by Socrateswannabe inplease forgive me if you consider this to be presumptuous, i know i am an ultra-newbie here.
but, i see a lot of threads on jwn that read something like, "what is your dog's name" or "where's your favorite vacation spot", "what's your special name for your spouse", etc.
i give the opening posters of these threads the benefit of the doubt that they are creating them simply for entertainment purposes.

The "Pop-In"
by Mr. Falcon inso last night the wife is working, the kids are getting ready for bed and i'm watching futurama.

I had an elder and his wife stop by our apartment one day. We werent home, so they went and knocked on every door in the complex asking people where we were. btw, this is when we were still active and not awake. So, someone in the complex had given them my cell number. We get a call from sister elder and she wanted to know where we were, they had taken the time to stop by our place to chat and they wanted to know how far away we were so we could drop whatever it was we were doing and come to our place right away for a chat. Well, considering these people have never called to set this up, we were not going to leave our beach picnic and drive the hour back home just so they can chat about something. They feel so entitled. They are were the kind of power elder couple that we all hate.

" As for the various fractions derived from those components and products that contain such fractions, the bible does not comment on these therefore, each Witness makes his own decision on such matters________August Awake 2006 page 11-12
most of the WT'S TEACHINGS arent found in the bible.

seems to me most "changed doctrined" has been by mouth nowadays. Making it official in a magazine would open up a whole can of worms, but if all the do's and CO's start mentioning these things, other witnesses start jumping on the band wagon. Like with this new light, has there been any watchtower article about it? I dont think there has, but the co's and do's have had parts at the meetings and assemblys about it. They change things slowly so its less noticeable.
So- I think this is completely possible, they have done crazier shit

QR codes: a way to stop APOSTATES !!!
by raymond frantz ininteresting meeting today.the do had the last talk and he mentioned a couple of things i have not heard before :.
1) the new lighter magazines are designed in a way to attract people to our website .
2)the ministry will change to incoprorate preacing in town centres and and with stands as in manhattan and certain brothers will be allocated to do this .so it is done now in a big scale ,organised.. 3)the qr codes at the back of the magazines are there for smart phone users to guide them directly to jw.org ,unlike bad old internet via laptops and pc's that you have to look for the website on google and sometimes end up in enemy websites that look like our website but are spreading lies about jw's (he said exactly that!

What would be the point of serving god now in a bullshit religion if there is no reward at the end of the rainbow. If god said to me.."you suffer for 80 years with this messed up organization, I will give you life forever and you can live however you want" then Id be down ( not really). So, why would someone put themselves through this agony and abuse to not be rewarded in some way. You can live a super great 80 years being happy with no reward or you can live a lie for 80 years and not be happy but there is no reward...just sayin
