  ^Seriously? That is just weird.

  Oh, just checked it in context. Makes a *little* more sense now. Before, it's hinting at bloodguilt and a xian's responsibility not to infect anyone. After, it talks about blood. mmkay.

  But anyway, they never taught you can't touch or kiss a corpse. Maybe they're saying it now, in the specific situation of Ebola and the like, but it's never been a global thing with them.

  Embalming is "cleaning and dressing" a corpse:

  Scripturally, then, there is no need for concern if local requirements mandate that the body be embalmed or family members desire that this take place. [wt library]

  Another lie. When I was 'in', the lying really bothered me. I wonder why it doesn't bother them enough to leave.

  What do you mean, "fabricated load of rubbish"? Multiple media sites are reporting this same quote from the government, and the articles states the UN Women's somethingorother is involved as well.

  It's not clear what is meant--other articles are saying dubs are involved in relief efforts.

  we also avoid unscriptural burial practices
  
  the traditional burial practice of mourners in Liberia involves bathing, dressing and even kissing the corpse
  
  I'm sorry, WTF?! Since when do jws avoid cleansing, dressing and kissing corpses?! What a lie.

  i read here recently that the khs are being instructed to buy and install projector systems.. now that we've seen the launch of of tv.jw.org we can fully expect public talks to - on a monthly basis at least - be replaced by content streamed from the site to the screens in khs.. .

  This could be interesting. I always observed a sort of mystique about the GB. It was so unusual to ever meet one or hear one speak. Don't know that I ever did, come to think of it. And now they will be right in your living room--not so special after all.

  Reposting something I said on another thread about the 10/6/14 go live date for tv.jw.org:

  Personally, I think the timing is suspicious. I'm sure they're doing this for recruitment purposes, but to go live right now takes a lot of attention away from something very significant: 100 years since 10/1/1914--the date predicted for Armageddon, later revised to occur while the generation was still alive, later revised to overlapping generations.

  1914 remains one of their biggest teachings that is so obviously false. They have taken the wind out of that sail by posting a little...hmmm...look what "some" believed back then...how antiquated "some" were...now let's see something exciting! Bro. Lett tickling our ears in a bad suit.
