Every dub has doubts. I remember having them as a teenager and so did my friends. The problem is that watchtower conditions you to think that if you have doubts there is something wrong with you. And so most suppress them, thinking that there must be some flaw in themselves.

Reenia says: forensic evidence that leads to a conviction is allowed as the second witness from what I know.
Wanna says : I don't think so darling. They want 2 flesh and blood witnesses. You should update yourself a little better

What the Family Worship Evening Arrangement Really Entails
by cantleave inas most people here know the combined book study allows an evening for "family worship".. the co visits march - august 2009 is really focussing on this.
if a jdub family head doesn't do a full evening of family worship and uses this time to do recreational activities he is as guilty as isrealite who didn't use the sabbath for worship.
the result, will of course be same as the unfaithful isrealite, death!!!!!!!!!

The real purpose of the HLC is to make sure JW's take blood...
by besty in99% of jw's have no idea whats allowed and whats banned - too complex.. so most jw's tick the i accept nothing box.
this from an hlc member i spoke with some time back.
just to be on the 'safe' side, ironically.. anyway imagine the number of dead jw's there would be if this was allowed to run its course.. so imho part of the hlc raison d'etre is to make sure jw's take the blood fractions they are 'allowed'.. thoughts?.

I'm glad this thread has been resuscitated. I have long come to the conclusion that the goverving body wants the rank and file to take fractions and by extention HLC are there to see this through.
In the newest study book "keep yourselves in god's love" page 217 it asks this question regarding the acceptance of blood fractions. It reads:
AM I AWAY THAT REFUSING ALL MEDICAL PROCEDURES INVOLVING THE USE OF MY OWN BLOOD MEANS THAT I WOULD NOT ACCEPT A BLOOD TEST, HEMODIALYSIS, OR A HEART-LUNG BYPASS MACHINE?".
In other words, what mother is saying is : If you don't take fractions this is what will happen.
I've also sensed that the elders are taking a "don't ask--don't tell" stance when it comes to blood products.
As a side note--I believe that at least here in Canda, HLC is now know as Hospital Information Services.

Friend said they're really emphasizing "Family Worship Evening" at the Convention - why did they get rid of the book study then?
by truthseeker ini just had a chat with a friend i haven't seen for a while.
he knows we're inactive.
he was trying to encourage us by relating what he heard at the convention, saying "the end is near" and then proceeded to tell me that what stood out the most was how many times the society emphasized "family worship" night at the convention.. it got me thinking, why did they get rid of the book study arrangement in private homes if they're so keen on forcing people to have family worship night?

I've noticed too the great emphasis on a "family worship evening".
Its being pushed down every dubs throat. What they don't talk about is the FAMILY STUDY. Is the family worship evening to replace that?. There has not been one mention of the family study since this "new" arrangement has been in effect.

A composite? I think you could very well be right. (And I don't think "she" is the first one. ) This is a possible theory, it may explain some of her posts.

but they do not deserve to be hounded away and insulted for feeling the way they do.
This is true, but Rennia cared nothing for the feeling of others. She just hijacked thoughtlessly as many threads as she possibly could. It appeared to me she played the contrarian for the sheer fun of it and to get under people's skin. Just my 2 cents worth.
