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.

Article on NH JW Abuse Case--Paul Berry
by blondie inin the jehovah's witness church, the elders were allowed to tell other church members because everyone in the church is considered an ordained minister.
but they were not allowed to tell authorities outside the church, the court records said.
i wonder if she misunderstood?.

The church is a family, Brown said, and families don't need to be told of another member's sins. "We can't tell them, but it will be known informally," Brown said. "In a family, everyone knows of the weaknesses of Aunt Suzie or Uncle John. Things are just known."
Ok there is a lot of Brown's comments in that article that make me want to puke, but this statement is just plain bizarre. the weaknesses?!?!? Aunt Suzie?? Uncle John?!?!?!No Apologies

U2 Rocks SNL
by CC Ryder indid anyone catch last nights sat.
night live?
u2 was the musical guest's and they rocked!!

Yeah I caught the show. It was rocking there at the end.
I just wish Bono would decide what he wants to be, a rock star or a political activist. Like way too many Hollywood actors, he somehow thinks we should listen to his ideas on how to make the world a better place.
Stick to the music and pimping for iTunes.
