  the star wars franchise has lots of memorable characters, no doubt about it.

  the sw extended universe is a big space.. there are lots of characters in the extended universe that i know little or nothing about - i may have only heard their names.. so if you could pick just one character, which one is your favourite?.

  Smurfs, Pokemon, how 'bout Star Wars?

  the recent thread on pokemon reminded me of a talk i heard once years ago.

  an then-brother was giving a talk on being rightous.

  he recounted the tale of speaking with an older brother when the star wars movie first came out (episode 4, not the new ones).

  "Dear, let's make love." -Brother Districtoverbear
  "Yes, lets." -Mrs. Districtoverbear

  Wouldn't it be better for them to say, "Mate, let us engage in intercourse, thereby fulfilling the marital due." So much more proper 😜

  Another good character from the novels is Zare Leonis. I went into depth on how this character's circumstances as well as the Empire as a whole paralleled JW-dom in the post below:

  I like Qui Gon Jinn because he relates to myself and other PIMO JWs, i.e. he was looked down on by the jedi council because he thought outside the box and wasn't dogmatic, seemingly more spiritual than religious if you will.

  I also love Chirrut Imwe from Rogue One. I love how he isn't an overt force user, yet he does undoubtedly tap into it to augment his blindness, and I also like his dry sense of humor and banter with his friend Baze Malbus.

  Is there any reason Watchtower is disposing of their Islam-focussed literature and replacing it with a generic brochure?

  Yes, they mentioned it in a letter a few years ago. They said Muslims are more likely to outright reject anything that seems critical of Islam, so it's better to witness subtly.

  Hmmm. A repressive, high control religion that forbids its' members from reading anything that's critical about it. Sound familiar?

  Anyone every heard anything about your own blood?

  by Tobyjones262 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was wondering if there was any policy from the cult about your own blood in you cut your finger and put it in your mouth out of reflex ect.

  what if any is the position of this?

  i always thought the amount of blood is not the real issue, even a drop would be a sin?.

  Their explanation is that in this instance Jesus was talking about sins related to financial and business matters. This idea is made out of whole cloth and has absolutely no basis.

  my intro essay for the new book caused all sorts of off blog controversy.

  my writing partner, a retired educator and a witness, responded.

  why aren't more witness men like this?

  By putting your name out there you could be disfellowshipped at any time. Are you okay with that?

  But as usual they're making it look like it's their idea and/or it's always been that way.
