Not me. This will be the 20th Memorial that I have not attended. No reason to start now.
I stayed at home with my lovely wife, my faithful German Shepherd, Gus, at my feet, a nice glass of scotch, and the premier episode of Game of Thrones on HBO.

I love to fish, but I generally like to stick to traditional fly fishing tactics, rather than flying fish tactics.
The silver carp in the video were introduced to US waters from Asia. They are considered an invasive species and pretty much take over any body of water in which they are introduced. There have been several cases of people being severely injured by these acrobatic fish. One woman broke her back when she was struck by a flying silver carp while waterskiing.

How do you pour the blood out of a fish???
by pirata inokay, so noah was given dominion over the fish, birds, and animals.
he could kill them and eat them, but not their blood.
the mosaic law dictated pouring out the blood, which is then assumed that is the method used by noah to avoid eating blood.. how do you drain the blood out of a fish?

Yes. This actually only works if they are freshly caught. Most fishermen I know bleed the fish immediately after catching them. It's also very important to clean them right away and keep them cool. If the blood & organs are left in the fish, even for just a few minutes, the meat will begin to rapidly deteriorate. It makes the meat mushy and makes it taste a lot more "fishy".
As a salmon & steelhead fisherman, whenever I catch a hen that is loaded with eggs, I always retain the eggs and cure them to use as future bait. It is also extremely important to remove all traces of blood from the egg skeins. If any blood is left in the skeins, the eggs will not cure properly.
You would probably be astonished to find out just how much blood is inside a 20lb salmon or steelhead. It's quite a bit. Getting it off the bottom of your boat can be quite a chore when it comes time to scrub the boat down.

Make a slice into each gill, then another slice to the spinal cord at the base of its tail. The blood literally drops out of them. I keep a "fish whacker" club handy too and knock 'em over the head so that they don't "strangle", as you put it.

The strangest looking (and acting) nut jobs you have ever seen at the KH!
by new boy inthere are so many after after 52 years in the "borg".. my top two would have to be at my last hall tigard oregon.. one lady slept in her pickup truck with 30 parakeets, sometimes in the kh parking lot.
people tried to help her with accommodations but she like the truck.
she really dressed up for the meetings......feather boa's, big hats, looked like may west from the 30's.

There was a teenager that would bring a ventriloquist dummy with him to all of the meetings until he was asked to stop. This same kid loved to wear cowboy boots to the hall and had a terrible habit of stomping on peoples' feet "as a joke". Yeah. Real funny.
When I was really young, there was a woman at the hall that was the poster child for awkward computer geeks. She had stringy, greasy hair, coke bottle glasses, etc. She had a nervous habit of rocking back and forth endlessly throughout the meetings. Her worst problem though, was that she would just lean over, lift a buttcheek, and loudly fart whenever the need arose. To her credit, she would always say "excuse me", as if that made it OK. Needless to say, there was always a perimeter of empty seats around her because no one wanted to endure her farting and BO. Her last name was Saggendorf, too. No joke.
We had a nazi elder named Joe Lewis. His young son was was just as much of a jackass as he was. he named the kid Little Joe Lewis. Seriously, his first name as written on his birth certificate was "Little". You were not allowed to call him "LJ", either. He demanded to be addressed as "Little Joe".
There was a funny older woman that loved to comment at the WT study, but she would always hold the mic up to her ear instead of her mouth when making comments.

I just had a thought......
This new aggro approach on their part just may blow up in their faces. Those folks out there that DO have some contact with their DF'd kids just might have come to the conclusion that these people really aren't evil, lascivious, wrongdoers. Maybe, just maybe, the WTS has made visible their desperation for complete control. Every time I've spoken with my folks (Which have been rare) I've told them that I'm 500% happier, healthier, nicer, and jut an all-round better person than I was when I was a Witness. I think it sunk in, to some extent. Both my Mother & Grandma have told me that they don't believe that I'm a bad person, that I've just lost my relationship with god. My ass is still dead-meat though, regardless, if I don't come back.
This WTS article just reeks of utter desperation and spite. Some of them have got to see that, wouldn't you think?
Faithful and Discreet Slave? I don't think so.
