As I recall, the old OM book was also released at a Sunday meeting. I knew about it in advance because I was the literature drone at the time. Did I feel special or what!

New KM, With New Procedures!
by Doubtfully Yours inin the newest kingdom ministry publication comes the information of how they're combining the 'no blood' card and the 'health proxy' document into only one card.. the card will have pertinent information according to the region where the person lives.
publishers will only need to change this card if personal information changes, otherwise one can keep the card forever instead of the nonsense of having to fill one out at the beginning of each year.. the wtbts sure is simplifying matters as time goes by.
good!!!

I also am a notary public and mentioned that one can notarize a document signed outside the presence of the notary if acknowledged by the signer to the notary.
Are you serious? What the heck is the point of a notary if they don't actually witness you signing the document??? Most notaries I know would never notorize something under those circumstances.

New Provision to Assist Us to Abstain From Blood - Dec KM
by truthseeker inif you wondered whether the society would print blood cards this year, they won't.
blood cards are out.. consider the box found on the december km, entitled "new provision to assist us to abstain from blood".
the governing body has approved combining the essential elements of the durable power of attorney (dpa) document and the advance.

Interesting development... obviously they believe there will be a legal and possibly PR upside in this change in procedure. The only downside for the org is that the blood card was becoming a de facto JW ID card, updated every year. Another control tactic, everyone has to sign in every year, reaffirming their stance as a JW...now that will no longer be the case. No Apologies

Are U.S. witnesses still morally superior?
by spider infrom the perspective of a uk observer it seems to me that the divide between 'the world' as it is in conservative heartlands of the us, and the mindset of the jehovah's witness is getting narrower by the day.. is there really a big difference between a jw and a majority of people in such places?
in the newspaper today i read how the new film alexander was being slated for showing alexander the great as a bisexual.
the uk independent reported that one online critic has warned christians that are considering seeing the film to "speak to your pastors immediately because satan is attempting to enter your mind".

Alexander the Great was not bisexual, he was homosexual. I've known that all my life, its commonly accepted.
Is this true? Its the first I've ever heard of it. Anyone got a reference?

I have never understood how buying stuff can result in "saving" money. Its kind of like when my sister says she "won" at the casino.
I didnt buy anything yesterday, guess I didn't save any money.

Geoff,
Where are you getting these numbers?? I find an increase of 500,000 publishers hard to believe. And exactly how many hours were spent getting those 500,000 new zombies?
I also find it interesting that you list 'hurt' as one of the reasons people leave. Thats quite commendable that you acknowledge that. My question is, when will the GB acknowledge it, and act accordingly. My guess is they never will, thus my handle, No Apologies. They have never apologized for anything, and they never will.
