  Our Patriotic Duty!!!

  i just recieved this in an e-mail-.

  mark your calendars for saturday.

  as you may already know, it is a sin for a taliban male to see any woman other than his wife naked, and that he must commit suicide if he does.

  In Canada it will be just the opposite. The men will circle the block naked and the women will drink beer on the lawn.

  well, they dumped food service at assemblies, us subscriptions to the watchtower, reduced hard bound book.

  distribution and downsized about a thousand bethelites ( over time).

  I guess it is possible that assemble profits are dragging. At the last 2 assemblies I've been to they've made special announcements, both exactly the same "A special thank you to the person who made an individual contibution of $500." Message to the rest of us: "Dig deep, you're not giving nearly enough. Be as faithful as these ones."

  Anything that isn't turning enough of a profit is out, just like any business. Assemblies will never be out, too much cash flow.

  I have often heard witnesses saying they couldn't wait till it was all over, they couldn't wait till the end etc. There is no doubt that the witnesses look forward to the end of this life, I'm just surprised at the means to make it happen in this situation.

  Did you ever defend the Borg?

  by dorothy in

  i remember when i first started studying i was always so quick to defend the borg if anyone said anything negative about them.

  i didn't even have a reason to or had any business doing so because i was so new and didn't even really know anything about it.

  and i absolutley refused to believe that they could be involved in child molestation, even going as far as refusing to watch the news shows exposing the real truth.

I really felt a strong responsibility to protect them.

  I also remember smugly telling my best apostate friend statistics about the Borg i.e. bragging about how many people were at the international convention I went to in Montreal.

  Did anyone else do the same when they were in the borg?

  does anyone local to the dfw are have a digital recorder that can record up to eight hours of voice?

  i'd like to try to avoid buying one.

  July 15 Watchtower article on Blood

  by XBEHERE in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the 7/15 wt i dont recall the exact page, i dont have the magazine here at work but there is a chart that lists blood, what components are up to you and which ones are not allowed at all.

  anyway its very odd because they list which ones christians should avoid from left to right, i.e.

  red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, etc.

  Yeah, just like they do with the scriptures.

  The list of blood components that are allowed are parts that Elders and Governing Body members have needed over time to save their own asses.
