i can not beleive what i just saw on the all news channel.
it was a commercial endorsed by the christain congregation of jehovah's witnesses.. the commercial starts off with a mom checking on her son,who can not sleep .
he is upset and by the drawing he did, you can tell it is about the world trade center attacks.
It just goes to show you that the organization will eventually change ANYTHING to accomplish their goals....i.e. more money in their pockets at the cost of valuable lives!!!
Thanks LDH...They will look for ANY way to save their dimes, but constantly remind the brainwashed to make those "voluntary" contributions!!
Excuse me while I go pray to the porcelain god as I'm going to be sick!!!

Celebrity of choice to sleep with: Mel Gibson or Harrison Ford (At the same time would be a lot of fun!! Whooohooo!)
Musical Inspiration: Hard to narrow down...love alternative, some rock, new and old as well as some country. (I'm one of those who flips the radio station between every song!)
Favorite Movie: Of all time....It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World! Hilarious!!!! Also love Titanic (saw it 5 times at the theater!)

this is a rough draft of the talk follow the drama at the dc.
do you see any subliminal reference to dateline?
silentlambs.
What really gets me is they will say that the media, TV and such is "part of Satan's world" IF they speak of the Borg in a negative light.....HOWEVER, how many times have we heard....from the convention podium no less, that the media has commented on what "upstanding people JWs are" and "their dress and conduct is modest and mannerly" blah, blah, blah.
So......Is this the SAME media that spews forth with misinformation and propaganda and is part of Satan's world?......Oh no, no, no, .....apparently when the media says the things JWs want to hear t then they somehow magically become "truthful, honest and upstanding in journalism etc.
Another fine example of how the organization picks and chooses what to believe and what not to believe, based merely on arrogance and brainwashing control!

monday morning my 14 y/o son was having severe abdominal pain in the lower right abdomen...diagnosis....appendicitis.
needless to say an emergency appendectomy was performed.
all went very well as they did the procedure laparoscopicly and therefore he went home in 24 hours and is recovering nicely.. my question/thought to others is this: i was df'd 2 years ago.
Thank all of you for your heartwarming responses and concerns!! What wonderful, caring people all of you are!
Balsam, my heart goes out to you!!! It brought tears to my eyes just imagining what you must have experienced. Our children are the most precious things in our lives and I would be so devastated if I ever lost one. (((((((((((Balsam)))))))))) I'd give the hug to you in person if I could!
Sam, I thank you for posting your experience. I will read it and appreciate your sharing.
Again, thank all of you for your support. Nick is moving about pretty good today and has a regular 14 year old appetite again! LOL
Much affection to everyone!

just a bit of fluff...what's your favourite men's cologne or women's perfume scent?.
have you ever got a gentle wiff of a really nice cologne and wanted to ask the owner what the name of it is??
if its a woman i will ask, only because i want to go out and buy some.
Hi Beck....we're actually on at the same time!!!
I really like Hugo, Obsession and Eternity for men. When I'm in a mall and some guy walks by wearing one of these, I instantly turn my head to see who the cutie is (as he's got to be cute if he smells this good!) LOL

My question/thought to others is this: I was DF'd 2 years ago. My ex-husband has not attended meetings in nearly a year, but claims to still be a "believer." Of course, as in any emergency medical situation, the blood issue is approached. The forms to sign were presented. When I was a JW and very strong, denying the intake of any blood was an easy decision for me...NO WAY! Now when faced with the possibility of my son being in a situation where it might be necessary to sustain his life, my decision was a no-brainer.....absolutely! Do what you have to do! His father was annoyed with me when I verbalized this as we read the form...so I gave him the form and said, "Here, read it and you tell me what you would do in a situation if they said our son may die without it." He then presented me with the what ifs....what if he gets AIDS or hepatitis and has complications from the blood and dies anyway...then who bears the responsibility for his death then? Well, I refuted his questions and said he is my son, I want him to have life now as I no longer believe in life everlasting...Life is today! He then hands the form to me and says, "I won't take any responsibility...you sign." I might mention my son was baptized when he was 10. As he laid there in pain awaiting surgery I asked him how he felt about the possibility of needing and taking blood...he said, "I don't care, it's fine with me." So I signed the form with no regrets. Well, as I stated above, all went well and the need for blood was never an issue....I'm glad, as this means there was minimal blood loss and he'll recover faster.
I was wondering if anyone else has ever been in this type of situation and how you handled it? What were your feelings and thoughts at the time you were faced with this?
Your thoughts and comments are appreciated.
This is the first time I've ever started a topic... Thank you for reading/responding.
