12Getting rid of your blood card may not be enough
by maksym ini want to share a potential problem that could come up in regards to those that have left the watchtower corporation and no longer accept their doctrines concerning blood.. obviously step one would be to get rid of the blood card; however.... recently i was put in the hospital to have an apendectomy.
the usual occurs in which a screening process is performed and records are updated before a major surgery; at least if your conscience.. one question the adminstrator nurse asked was whether i was still a jehovahs witness member of that church and if i still refused to accept blood.
i quickly updated my files telling them my current status and said i would accept blood.. the blood card was an indicator in an emergency if you were to be rushed to a hospital you did not know.. hospital records are not updated unless we choose to inform them.

"told me that I was making others feel uncomfortable by being there and he suggested that I go find a place in the hospital to wait on my own."
It is inappropriate for an elder to say that to a family member of a patient in a hosptial!

Now I know why Charles Russell was walking back and forth while lecturing in The Photo Drama of Creation!

i spoke with an elder about university
by MsGrowingGirl20 inhe always tells me that i've adopted him as a father...we're pretty close.
i spoke with him asking for some advice about whether or not to pursue my degree.he, to my surprise, couldn't give me his opinion.he told me that if he tells me how he really feels (he says he has some strong views on the matter) he may be disciplined for 'promoting higher education'....in effect he was telling me to go ahead and pursue my degree but not really saying it.
he asked me to promise him that i'll speak to the presiding overseer and the circuit overseer....i haven't as yet.

See this posting from a few years ago!
Since they paid people to go to college, how can The Watchtower itself speak with "freeness of speech" in discouraging attending college? Or is that the reason they like to keep their actions confidential?
Rob Pollock - Sent to Engineering College by WTS?
Rob Pollock was the Bethelite (sent to college while at Bethel). When we visited Bethel in the 80s, Rob, at the time, was being sent to college for engineering classes by the WTS. We were asked to keep quiet about it, as the Society sending Bethelites to college was considered something the friends in general would not understand, and might resent. I also heard at the time that with his work at Bethel and the schooling, Rob was hardly making any meetings for months at a time.
Rob went on to become one of the main engineers overseeing the Patterson, NY Bethel project.Anyone remember Rob and Cindy Pollock? As far as I know they're still at Bethel.

Did Jehovah Destroy Jesus's Pre-Human Spiritual Body?
by VM44 indid jehovah destroy jesus's pre-human spiritual body?.
as jesus could not have two bodies at the same time, his "spiritual body" could not continue to exist while he was "human.".
it is said that jesus came to earth as a human, but if his spirtual body was destroyed, what was left to "come" to earch?.

This becomes more of a problem if the concept of a "soul" is rejected.
How would The Watchtower answer this question?

Research - Bible - Artifacts
For centuries we have been able to learn about the history of the Middle East because of many ancient writings are in existence. One of these writings, the Bible, plays an important role as it tells us about those that primarily lived in the so-called “Fertile Crescent.” In the past 150 years archaeologists have unearthed countless artifacts from which we have been able to gather knowledge about these ancient cultures. How can these artifacts help us to better understand the biblical account and to view it in its historical setting?
This question will be considered in the new released book Research – Bible – Artifacts. With the help of a selection of artifacts mainly from the famous “Pergamon Museum” in Berlin the reader receives a vivid picture of biblical accounts. Each page is colourfully laid out with a photograph of each artifact and also linked with the appropriate scripture. (The volume contains over 90 colourfully illustrations and maps.) In an appendix you will find more information about the capture of the old city of Babylon and also how the old historians Herodotus and Xenophon confirm the Bible account. In addition it contains also a chapter about the Neo-Babylonian Chronology and the cuneiform tablet VAT 4956 from Berlin, written by Dr. Rolf Furuli.
Size: About 128 pages, paperback (228 mm, 175 mm).
Left hand pages will cover the text in German, whereas right hand pages will be in English.
Prize: 12,50 € plus shipping. (Please note that the shipping cost will vary according to the postal address.)
