canoe | by carol harrington-- canadian press | calgary (cp) -- a. leukemia-stricken teen is upset that a second court is forcing her.... http://www.canoe.ca/cnewslaw0204/10_blood-cp.html.
I feel like a shit reading this old story - felt like yesterday when I was rooting against Lawrence.
I remember thinking that it was a no-win for Bethany.
If she died, everybody would say, "See, she should have taken blood." If she lived, everybody would say, "She lived because of forced transfusion," and she would hate her life.
the us elections suck up all the attention (and it's not even at the candidate selection stage!
) but canada actually has a national election today.. first results are starting to come in and so far it's all liberal party.. i think it's time harper and the conservatives got the boot.
last premiere from the bush era.
2015, 10/20/boe.. .. re: making wise use of printed magazines.. .. page 2: .
this postscript should neither be read to the congregation nor be posted .
on the information board.. .
Or, maybe, it is a UK-only change?
Is being read in Canada this week.
I can see them in time giving out nine year old magazines like they are giving out nine year old teaching books now.
Keep in mind that the "January/February" 2016 Awake is labelled "1 - 2016" - no Best Before Date.
So, in some future Yearbook, if they're still including a detailed country-by-country service report, there'll be a single category showing they are increasing their placements by gazillions.
Page 2 of the Awake no longer says "Printed" number of issues - it now says "Produced" number of issues, and it went up 6,000,000 issues from December to January.
has anybody ever written bethel and just flat out asked for an accounting report on the society's finances?
we all keep batting around speculation about the wtbs and money, and actual information seems non-existent.
what would they do if somebody asked for a financial statement?
Do you donate any of your money to the Watchtower Society?
Yup, a lot. (Well into 5 figures of cash).
That does not include TENS OF THOUSANDS of hours of my life, as well as the lives of my family - which was worth far more than money.
(Shut up and go away)
as with any course which is based on pure wishful thinking(which is the wt corporation based on) has different stages.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/wishful_thinking.
some psychologists believe that positive thinking is able to positively influence behavior and so bring about better results.
this is called "pygmalion effect".
We all say the s-word, H-word, and F-word
Splane.

just wanted to break the ice and write my first post here and also talk about some things that are bothering me.
i don't go to meetings anymore and i have become inactive for years now.
i don't believe the witnesses have the truth more than any other organized religion.
in 2016, jw will have their memorial of jesus death on march 23, 2016. http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/meetings/#?insight[search_id]=99cee3cb-687e-4276-9c70-3af8d20c220b&insight[search_result_index]=0.
that day is not for nissan 14th of the jewish calendar, or am i wrong ?
?.
i saw the coordinator heading for the stage and hit record on my ipad.
i was shocked but here it is.
here's my typed transcript of the letter he read:.
I wonder why, towards the end of the middle paragraph, it says, " we SPENT some time with our respective families". Didnt they just get the letter saying they are being "releived" of their position? I would think that he would have said, "we are going to be SPENDING time with our families during this transition". Seems like the "wording", and or "tense" is wrong.
If the Special Pioneers received 3 months of pay without having to do time, maybe this guy received the same.
so i decided yesterday to give my wife's full disclosure.
not sure it was the best decision considering she holds very firmly to the resurrection hope so we can see our babies again.. anyways she is agreeable to begin a study to find a better truth.
where is a good place to go to get some good reliable biblical info on the web that we can consider together?.
Right now it doesn't matter which bible she reads. She still has on Watchtower goggles.
If I may.... STOP! BACK UP!
First step should be to put Watchtower teachings in a box and drop-kick them to the curb. The best way to do this is to get Ray Franz's books, Crisis of Conscience and In Search of Christian Freedom. Perhaps one of Steve Hassan's books to help you understand how it all happened to you in the first place. This will set her mind free so that she is THEN ready to adopt a "new truth" - which will only amount to a new OPINION, but one she and you are completely free to explore.
I agree with this.
Waking up takes time, and needs to be done right.

that is supposed to make people go back?!
Ah Sister Yuen, what a fine example of martyrdom and child abandonment.
Too bad she had not heard of "Theocratic Warfare," or hadn't been in Mexico.
