As far as the WT saying that they never said something--there is no way they could destroy all of their past publications! It's amazing what people save!
You never know when you might inherit a bunch of books from a pack-rat relative!

Is the Watchtower Society strong enough to win this war with the internet?
by jack w incould it be that the wts actually thinks it can win this war?
i mean, they are forcing sites to close down, suing the people that run them etc.
i wonder if this is the way they want to "handle" the internet problem.

My Witness sister is going insane and falling into depression
by free2beme inas i grew up, my sister was always a pretty strong person.
when she was 21 she got baptized after she married a worldly man, and they have been married 17 years.
he never went into the religion, and never even attended one meeting and has told me that he never will.

Sounds like she needs a different doctor. My previous doctor would have never given me anti-depressants--he was very non-medication. I am not sure if depression is my problem but the meds take away my anxiety and help tremendously with female issues. Could she be having pre-menopause problems? There are some good books on the subject.
It is hard to get help for someone who does not see that they have a problem--there is a lot of that in my family. My sister needs help too but we can't seem to talk her into it. I think she sees getting help as some kind of failure.

Brand New Blood Card meeting - Your Blood will run cold.
by hamsterbait ini first noticed that no scriptural discussion of the choice is made, so it all appears to be solely the decision of the signatory.. when choosing alternatives of treatment, the witless merely initials his choice under clauses 3 and 4. since this simply indicates choice, full signature and witness are not required.. .
now clause 6:.
"i consent to my medical records ands the details of my condition being shared with the emergency contact below (cong secretary recommended) and/or with member(s) of the hospital liaison committee for jehovah's witnesses.. .

AMAZING! Elders who don't even bother to get to know me on a personal level could have access to my medical records?! Control freaks!!

Do you know where the first person you had sex with, lives now?
by free2beme ini was actually baptized in my early 20's, so i spent some time as a teen and early twenties doing things that were not witness-like.
one of those things was sex out of marriage and to be honest, i have no regrets.
i have wondered though sometimes, where is that person i shared such a landmark moment with in life.

My cats are declawed. I had a hard time making the decision. They do live a luxurious life--so I guess it's a trade off!

Hi--
Be careful with Replacements, Ltd--I found that they don't like to pay very much when they buy from you, but boy, do they charge a lot!!

Being baptized young is nothing new. I was almost 15 when I was baptized--my brother was baptized same time and he's almost 3 years younger than me. Most of my friends were baptized under the age of 14.

by Elsewhere inmy cat is a little sick (all sorts of nasty things coming out the business end .
i was also given some pills that need to be administered once a day... but she will pitch an absolute fit when i try to stick it down her mouth.
she always manages to bring it back up and slobber it onto the floor.
