  i received this email from a friend of a friend:.

  'comments made by brother lett at morning worship today.. the comments were about the work we have of bearing witness of the truth.

  " again, the angels make note of it.. we knock at the fifth house and again no one is home.

  "Aren't they the ones that don't accept blood transfusions?" "Yes", the driver replies. "But look how well dressed and well behaved their children are. I wish my children were the same."

  so let me get this straight the garabage truck driver wishes that his children could dress nicely and behave well and not have life saving treatment if they have an accident and then die. Has anyone ever actually heard a father wish his children - however untidy or naughty - could be swapped for someone else's kids?

  i think nadia is the most talented, but that mohawk last night didn't win her any points with the judges.

  simon growl is predicting this week that carrie underwood will win and sell more than any previous ai winner.

  of course last week he predicted bo would win.

  BO BICE is so so so so sexy - I dreamt about him last night in those black leather trousers! He has to win! I get shivers and goosebumos just thinking about him and my b/f knows I would not turn down an evening with him, but thats okay because he can have Carrie Underwood, who is sweet but a bit banal for me - no strong personality. And Bo's hair - oh mi god - i could tangle my fingers in that and just think I was in heaven!

  We only get it on Sunday nights here as a rerun - ohhhh 4 more days to go before i can gaze at Bo Bice again. Did I say how HOT he is?

  who of us can remember the wts saying from the platform that we should'nt speculate about jehovahs wts purpose and what he or they intend.. what was this about and why?

  can anyone enlighten me here?.

  Wasnt there a scripture about running ahead or something? The real reason was because they don't appreciate our brains being used or doing anything of our own initiative - or maybe that was the scripture - Christ does nothing of his own initiative except that which his father tells him and we should do the same in emulation....

  i've noticed there are a lot of jw's in good standing on here these days... i know its a small sample but it seems promising.. any current circuit overseers/district overseers post on here, that would be crazy.

  i think its pretty cool actually

  does anyone else here feel that they have to be 'perfect' & have a great life & never make any mistakes now they are not a jw, just to prove to all the jws that they made the right decision?

  or am i the only one?

  I am soooo jealous! I wish my dad would say just one nice thing to me just once. In fact I wish he would say anything at all. I miss him so much...

  hugs to you and your dad xxx

  I am starting to want to make my life better - up to now I've pretty much thought the JWs had it right, but now I'm starting to feel pretty ambitious and am looking forward to the future and planning for it. But I don't want to be perfect - there's no one to impress but me - and one of my favourite imperfections is how easy I am to impress, because I've expected so little, up to now, from life!

  Guys she has already agreed to do this! And besides if her boyfriend is going to be present maybe its a good opportunity for him to hear things about the Borg that otherwise he might not listen too. Also the 607 argument maybe hard for a non JW to get their head round though it would be surely impressive if she could argue this and they actually listened.

  Also she can't be labelled apostate can she - given that she's not a JW?

  I would ask them why do they teach that other faiths doctrines on hell just can;t be right because their God is loving and how they reconcile that with the fact they are looking forward to Armageddon when billions of people on earth will be murdered. Innocent children too? How can she justify worshipping such a disgusting violent God?

  Then I would print off the letter from the United Nations (it is in a link on this board somewhere if anyone can help) in response to the queries from many JWs when news leaked that the society was part of the UN even though they denounce the UN as part of Satan and I would ask why she should believe in an organisation that was so hypocritical as to be a member of an organisation they condemned?

  And finally I would ask how they justified telling parents not to innoculate their children for small pox putting their lives at risk because they said it contained blood products when this turned out not to be true? (see http://quotes.watchtower.ca/ under the medical section) if they were from God and the only true religion why did he direct them to tell lies that endangered the lives of children?

  Hope this helps to be going on with! and would love to hear the outcome of this conversation!
