Subject: Blood Card

Subject: Always Carry Your Blood Card

This is a true-life experience from Nigeria that illustrates the
importance of having the No Blood card in our possession at all times.
After a long day in the field ministry, the Pioneer took a short route
home. Soon he became aware of footsteps behind him.

He also saw a couple of men coming from the opposite direction. One of
them grabbed the brother by the neck while the rest searched him. In his
bag they found only a Bible, some literature and an envelope containing
small change. Just as they were about beating him up for not having
more money on him, the leader of the gang, saw a card in the brother's
wallet with the bold inscription: NO BLOOD.
He shouted at the gang to stop: "This man has no blood! He doesn't have
much time to live. Return everything. Leave him before he dies on us.
We don't want this kind of trouble."
They picked up all the magazines, ga! thered everything together and
placed them in the brother's bag. After straightening out his wrinkled
shirt, adjusting his tie and returning his money and bag, they walked
him to a safer neighborhood where they bade him farewell.

GOD@#$% ! what a bunch of horse$#@!@$%

and this poem:

My face in the mirror Isn't wrinkled or drawn. My house isn't dirty The cobwebs are gone. My garden looks lovely. And so does my lawn. I think I might never Put my glasses back on. Teresa Miller JWOTW Assistant Manager

the preceding poem was posted by the board moderator under the topic heading
"witness poetry", where people post their original work. ok most of it sucks, but
that's not my point. posters responding to her clearly think she wrote it, and she
doesn't say she didn't. this poem is all over the web. i know it seems like a small
thing, but as a writer, this sort of thing really bothers me. not to mention that she's
supposed to be a good, honest witness and this is essentially lying. ooh...

Hey, don't laugh. one day in lovely southern California, I was walking with my bookbag, coming home from field service (that's why I was alone). A young man comes up to me and pulls a knife on me. I really wasn't scared, I guess it happened too fast, I was more annoyed becasue I was hungry and wanted lunch.

Anyway, I said to him "All I have on me is some pennies in a bag. You can have that," I pulled it out to hand to him, and I pulled out the magazines and the Watchtowers and a Bible and some other books, little ones, and I said "Could I at least keep the bag, because it was a gift, you would look funny carrying it around anyway, wouldn't you? But you can have the money and all the literature if you want..."

In the meantime, he's just staring at me with his jaw open. He pushes everything back at me, and mumbles something and starts to walk away. I called after him, "You can have the money if you want it, you look like you need it more than me." But he just started to RUN away.."

Ah the good old days of being 'peaceable with all men'. Try that with me today with my 'exjw woman with an attitude' mode and he would be very injured in short order.

I wonder if there is a special "JW Urban Legend" division within the writing committee. This sounds about as real as a three-dollar bill.

I think this brother was attacked by Naeblis.

Interesting... Ignorance saved by ignorance!

NAH....It's just part of the new marketing department at the WBTS. You know, the one which caters to the Africans. LOL. Can a leopard change it's spots? Can an African resist an Urban Legend?

Read this thread for more of the same hilarity.
