WHY??????
in oregon, during the 4th of july weekend, troopers will be conducting checkpoints to see if someone has been drinking.
if someone refuses a breath test, they will be forced to have their blood extracted from them.. what do you think of this?.

WHY??????
heard from a reliable source that this was part of friday's program.
they even interviewed a "former gay man" who "kicked the gay habit".. evidently kicking the "gay habit" is difficult, not unlike quitting smoking or avoiding sugary snacks.
the persons who related this to me found the whole thing to be laughable at best, but honestly seemed quite disturbed by it (which is good!
AND -
Anne omally quoted an piece of a$$embly shite.
The elduhs will wait until he has a male friend to stay overnight, and he will be DF. Even if the friend is heterosexual.
The elduhs secret manual says an overnight stay is "incriminating evidence " of immorality.
The new guidelines for elduhs, actually allow for DF BECUASE THE ELDUHS BELIEVE THAT IMMORALITY HAS TAKEN PLACE, even without two witnesses.
(child abuse??????)
God help a single brother with a pet alsatian bitch - god only knows what the elders might accuse him.
But we all know single men and lesbians get dogs for other purposes....

TALK ABOUT DOUBLE SPEAK -
i remember an a$$embly on the 80s where the speaker said it was a DISGRACE that the American Psychiatric(?) Association had stopped classifying homosexuality as a disease.
If it ain t a disease then its NATURAL duh!!!!!!!!!
Presumably, along with leprosy, people with cancer make jehoobie just as sad as the people with the disease of same sex attraction.
Poor baybee, sitting in heaven soooo shad.....
as we all know jws were persecuted in malawi, beaten tortured and murdered, because they would not purchase (for about 70 cents) a card saying they support the political rule at that time.
if they did they wd be df .. what must a us citizen do in order to get a passport - and how in god's name do the wt leaders get one without a compromise nobody else wd be allowed to make?.
is this another case like the change on vaccinations in 53,because nathan homo knorrr knew he cd die of tropical diseases touring the third world.
The GB have "diplomatic passports" ??? What kind of crazy is that?
So Crooklyn beth hell and the " WE'LL KILL" campus they are building are/were sovereign states with diplomats?
What kind of a lie was that?? AnneB - please tell us your source for that scorching lie... they deserve to be exposed. (not literally - the thought of seeing Mark Saunderson and all his little turkey gizzard bits eeeeauw)
bethel writer see's a fatty bethelite take the last bread roll at lunch...should he vent his feelings thru jehovahs holy watchtower magazine...why not!!.
watchtower 1974p.167 "...by over indulging in food....he fails to show love for jehovah god...is food a big thing in his life?
does he selfishly ignore others needs and take more then his share?
it may have long been the case that fatties are not allowed to be used at a$$emblies, but when was this ever printed in the witchtower or the Kingdumb Misery?
doctor acquitted in post-surgery death of jehovah's witness by kim da-ye.
the supreme court upheld a lower courts decision thursday that a doctor who performed surgery on a jehovahs witness patient without a blood transfusion at her request is not responsible for her death.. .
a 57-year-old doctor, surnamed lee, was charged with occupational negligence leading to the death of his patient who died from complications caused by excessive bleeding during and after hip replacement surgery.. .
There was another case cited on this board, in the US, where a woman had surgery, refused blood and died.
The family sued the surgeon. (frotunately they lost the case)
Dubbies are really stoopit on these cases, because as more and more surgeons hear they may be sued by the dead JWs family, they will refuse to operate at all.
GO ON DUBBIES, KEEP SHOOTING YOURSELVES IN THE FOOT!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
i have gotten soooo fed up of trying to sift my way through hundreds of items on amazon, that i am now sick to death, and wishing jsb were never even born (may almighty god forbid) - please note my posy reference to islamic philosophy:).
i want a good recording of the bach partitas for solo violin played by a really good musician on a baroque violin with good stylistic training.. any takers??.
make a hamster happy :(.
fiddler - over the years i have seen my contemporaries end up in miserable dead end jobs because they took the witchtowers advice. I saw a married guy at our kingdumb hell who pious sneered straight from school, and he ended up struggling to support a wife and kids sweeping floors at a school.
When I decided on studying music, they tried to put me off with all the crap, but I told myself what if it doesnt come "soon". One elder actually had the gall to demand "why should you do what you want to do?" (he didnt satisfy me that I had to do what they wanted.) I do not regret defying them. i have travelled, worked in other countries, acquired three languages as a result and made many interesting friends, so now I have escaped i am never lonely.
it is never too late to enjoy what you want to do. The trick is to get your hands on that instrument every day, even if only for 20 minutes. after a year you have done at least 120 hours practise - and you can achieve a lot on that. I have taught absolute beginners who are adults, who now play well and have a great time.
When was your friend at the Juilliard?

fiddler - I am a professional musician, have performed a lot over the years, Brandenburg 5 All the other Bach keyboard concertos and Mozart. I play figured bass with ensembles accompany recitals and arrange music. I have been playing the violin and piano for forty-three years, and the harpsichord for thirty odd.
Now I am getting on, I want to do baroque violin, which is a different technique to the classical tradition i learned at Uni. (against the will of God - elduhs rather) Thats why I am looking for advice on good performances in that style.

Phizzy -
Maybe its the obesity issue that leads them to forbid BJs - about twenty calories in each one.
And it has just been revealed that DOs were told not use fat brothers for items at a$$emblies, even if they are spiritually qualified.
heaven - I dont think "MEAT in due season" means bacon to most gays; it means chicken, and that other thingy...
Is the shame-faced twinkie's favorite Babble text the one where David and Jonathan have a snog, or the gang bangs in the Book of Samuel? if he is trying to think hetero, perhaps he is daydreaming about the shulamite maiden's boobies, immortalised by that famous sex-machine Solomon. or is it Samson with his rippling sun-bronzed gleaming muscles, flexing in the sun, the salt sweet savor of his sweat trickling....... I must think of a scripture: "and one thousand asses" NOOOOOO I mean donkeys!

Terry -
It never fails to amaze me how many lousy recordings are out there.
Flaccid performances of Don Giovanni, hideously bashy renderings of the Goldberg Variations, mechanical harpsichord playing (Trevor Pinnock's version of JSBs keyboard partitas springs to mind) emotionless Webern... The hideously fast performance of the G major prelude in bk II of the 48 by Gould.
Both youtubes are nicely played, the one of Hilary turns a piece which to me is about drama into a two hanky job, with far too much vibrato, and the E major Gavotte is sweetly pretty, a word used by Bach to mock the operas so fashionable in the mid 18th cent. (Remember this was a guy who was cocky and cheeky to his teachers at school, and could have a fight in the town square)
Good playing is very much in the ear of the listener, which is why I am asking around.
I have Segovia playing them on guitar, and Perlman - he could just play open strings and I would be transported. I have John Holloway playing Corellis op 5, with excellent keyboard accompaniment.
