yesterday i gave a blood sample because i may have something wrong with me.. can jws give blood sample?
What they cannot do is donate blood that would be transfused to others or accept a transfusion from someone else.
On the other hand, it's ok to accept fractions obtained from blood donated by someone else breaking God's law. Of course only those fractions which are clearly enumerated in the Bible. LOL.
Go figure.

well i kinda started a new tradition last year.
sometime last year i stopped off at a gas station in london kentucky and i noticed watchtower and awake magazines laying on a brochure rack, and i promptly removed them.
well yesterday on the way up to dayton i stopped off at that station again, and sure enough there were 6 magazines there, 3 watchtowers and 3 awakes.
JunctionGuy,
What tetrapod said: Print out a few labels with www.freeminds.org, and www.jehovahs-witness.com and stick them on the mags. In this way you may discourage the person who leaves them. And if any newbie picks them up they'll probably go to one of those sites for more info on the WTS.

i greatly appreciate the many friends here on jwd that are from non-usa countries.
i have a special affinity and good feeling for aussies and canooks and brits.
anyway, over the years i have given the impression that i adhere to some kind of politcal position.

Got it.
I guess part of the problem is that people have posted worse nonsense on this and other boards with no humor intended.

jws pride themselves in being the "most honest people on earth".
could you refute that claim??
?
JWs pride themselves in being the "most honest people on earth".
In totalitarian systems a lot of emphasis is placed on using words and expressions which are supposed to mean something that is basically not true of the system and its members. For instance many former communist Eastern-European countries did not just call themselves "democracies". They described themselves as "people's democracies" (notice the pleonasm - this is like saying "democratic democracies" or "double-democracies"). In fact they absolutely had nothing to do with democracies, but the less they had to do with the idea of democracy, the more they were called so by the propaganda apparatus.
Same goes for "truly honest" people. Or the "most honest people on earth". Or "honest-hearted" persons. Or the "sheeplike". Now why do you think they have so many expressions for honesty?

i need debate practice on the subject for the next time i'm cornered.

early christianity: what was it like?
did the early christians ask the public for donations to fund their ministry or other works?.
did the early christians encourage believers to distribute communications from the apostles and older men in jerusalem to the public as a primary part of their ministry?.
Terry,
Just follow the link. Interesting stuff on understanding metaphors.

and in the morning the word of the lord came to me, saying, son of man, has not the house of israel, the rebellious house, said to you, what are you doing?
say to them, thus says the lord god: this burden concerns the prince in jerusalem and all the house of israel who are among them.

Honestly, if you are talking about your last thread, I'm not sure why you just don't admit you were trying to be funny and for some reason you failed to achieve that objective. Who are you blaming for this failure again? Or did I miss something again?
Oh yeah, you did make HS split his sides. Anyone else?

yes, friends, the almighty french have redeeemed themselves as they resoundly reject the european union constitution ... and because french socialism is proving a dismal failure, not unlike its soviet communist counter-part, their cronie president, jacque chirac, has resigned.
yes, sir, it looks like a new "pro-american" frenchman will become the next president of france.
which means that the french are willing to take some serious risks, ( get some big brass balls in american-ese) and align themselves more with capitalist usa.
Classicist,
I agree on both accounts. If the "constitution" (in fact it's just another EU treaty) was short enough for the majority of people to read it, perhaps it wouldn't now be used to prove mutually exclusive agendas.
