: I was able to find out in confidence from a Bethelite elder who works in the Legal Dept. that the blood policy and voting are seriously being considered for a change to a "conscience matter".
Interesting. Keep us posted, OK?
Of course, all that would do is validate what "apostates" have been saying for a long time, and get JWs better recognized in the world. Awfully hypocritical if it does come true. Loyal JWs will assert that they are damned if they do and damned if they don't as regards doctrinal changes, but they put themselves in that mess.
Glad to hear you aren't carrying those suicide notes any more. I remember when mine went in the trash can. Talk about a defining moment in a JW's
life. :-)
