My Tal. It's so weird how we first got aquainted -- on a thread about spiders, of all things.

We've become good friends, despite the many, many miles between Texas and Nova Scotia. I know I can always rely on you when I need a lift, a kick in the pants or even help 'pulling up my boots'. So, Thank you ! With all the health issues both myself and my wife are still going thru -- You -- have been and are there for us. Whatever we can be for you...is what we can offer you in return. Freely.

Like my friend (hey guy...!) Ohio Cowboy said, " You are and have always been there to encourage others, and whenever you hear of someone being ill, you are right there to do everything you can to make them feel better. I have always noticed that your empathy and compassion towards others are heartfelt and genuine, and I hope that with all of the posts and well wishes here that you feel that same love shown towards you at this time that you really need it. You are the type of person that this world needs more of, not less, so please take care of yourself and get professional help if you need it."

Remember in Dances with Wolves...? The scene where Kevin Costners' character was leaving the tribe and the Indian kept shouting, "You are my friend...forever"?

Well, you are my friend -- forever. I hope your health improves, 'cause I know it affects your outlook, too

NEW RUMOR: WT ALLOWS BIRTHDAYS

by J.R.R.Watchtower in

i've just read at a spanish forum for ex-jw that the wt has cooked a new light article series about social celebrations, including birthdays and aniversaries.

according to a member of this forum 'in short' the wt will let witnesses to decide by 'their bible trained conscience' either they celebrate birthdays or not.

is this rumor based in some real facts or it's just bullshit?.

Rabbit

AND...*if* the WT ever did say, "...birthdays are now a conscience matter..." any True Jehovah's Witness would see immediately that "Jehovah" thru his 'Earthly SpokesMEN' has just issued another -- Test. Another, Loyalty Test...a 'winnowing the wheat from the chaff'.

To my horror, a close jw relative, said, "That's why she and others decided to go with the strictest "No blood products of any kind...", with all the changes on the blood policy -- it was a TEST from Jah."

Just because the Watchtower said "...your Bible Trained Conscience 'could'...it did'nt say 'should'...".

So-o-o...just how good of a JW are you ? Ya' wanna bet your life on it ? Always another Koolaid test.

PS: These same JW's watched my JW mom slowly smother to death...she needed blood. How screwed up are their minds ???

That's exactly what I was wondering. The only other place she may be able to appeal to is the US Supreme Court...hmmm...

Do you hear the chanting... "persecution-persecution" ?

"Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over."

by Mr. Falcon in

(numbers 5:23-28) 23 and the priest must write these cursings in the book and must wipe them out into the bitter water.

24 and he must make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and the water that brings a curse must enter into her as something bitter.

25 and the priest must take the grain offering of jealousy from the womans hand and wave the grain offering to and fro before jehovah, and he must bring it near the altar.

Rabbit

Anybody wanna take this one and run with it? What in the wide world of sports is going on here?

Numbers 5:23-28 ? Easy. Sounds like it was borrowed from The Big Book of Voodoo by the Numbers 5:23-28 !

Cheezits, for me, that was the best quote of the thread and it works for agnostics, too.

There was a very funny/sad description of just 'how wonderful' Paradise would be -- posted on this very forum. Just how happy would the loving elders arrangement actually be ? Hint: It wasn't very happy...

Anybody remember that post...?

"...wrongful life..." damn, what a MOUTHFUL that judge said. He didn't sound too happy. And, since it was a NY State Supreme Court making the ruling it should stick.

I hope she has to pay all the legal costs for the doc & hospital.

Outlaw, I think you have it correct -- the WT likes to have all the bases covered, they hedge all their bets. My JW mom was a victim to their ever-changing blood policy -- I consider it (their belief) to be premeditated murder. After she died -- they changed their rules/laws -- they said "hemoglobin" was OK, just a mere "conscience matter".

The Watchtower won, because, while moms heart monitor was still giving that long, l-o-n-g monotone indicating "lose", death was here...my JW relatives who came to watch this spectacle started making little up-lifting (to each other) comments: "I'm so sad this happened, but...dontcha know Jehovah & Jesus are looking down right now -- smiling -- pleased that she remained 'faithful to the end'? Now we know she'll be resurrected -- and if we only stay faithful like her, we'll see her again ! "

All thru the room were comments like that and then, the "Yeps, uh-huh's, that's right..." I thought it was sickening...imagine all my non-jw's ? They could not believe what was happening. But, they were respectful.

The WT won that battle. They killed my mom cause she was "faithful". They set up the other JW's to fail & die, too. A "faithful sacrifice/example has been given". WT will probably win those battles, too.

I'm out now, my sweet never-been-a-dub new wife almost died last year. She needed and received a blood transfusion -- she lived. It was like watching my mom die -- in reverse.

The Watchtower Corporation will never win with us.
