Check out the results. It goes to last years results and on page 27 you will see WTBTS LISTEDand they received one contribution for $26.00. It however doesn't say about any funds given (if any) through a generic giving. Mekes one wonder. Too bad it doesn't make the R&F wonder. Scam city express still operating I wonder if they have to show how much money they have given out in charity to get listed with the SECC. Buff

Hopfefully they will have this one memory be part of a whole bunch of other good memories of being a child while being associated with the borg.

California MUDSLIDE SEASON opens
by mustang ini went out to the car this morning and noticed a fast single-engine plane "scud-running" towards the mountains ringing the la basin.
there were white "cumulo-puffs" (towering cumulo-nimbus clouds) lazily moving east (normal weather flow pattern restored).
there was ~70% overcast (constitutes a ceiling).

Whoa! Mustang, scared me there for a second, I thought you were refering to the time of the year when the elders come out and act like they actually care about the disfellowshipped ones/inactives. Yeah the rain looks good, and hopefully will put and end to the fires. Buff

Administering a Blood Transfusion.....D/F grounds?
by ScoobySnax inok, after 10 years of being qualified, and setting up 100's of blood transfusions as a nurse, i wonder how the society would judge me.
personally i wouldn't take blood myself, but in my job if that is what is prescribed and the patients (99%) of them have consented, then it is my duty to follow medical directions, otherwise i would be professionally negligent in my care.
i have no problem with this as each patient makes an informed consent as to their treatment.. i wonder though, had i been active as a jw, whether this would be grounds for re-proof or even less likely d/f.

From my experiences of talking with JDUBs Nurses, its just fine we had one in congregation who worked in IC ad gave a lot of blood transfusions to patients, she was also a pioneer. Never had andy problems to my knowledge with the congreagtion heavies. Buff

hi this sounds just like the little girl they "used" at the last District Convention in San Diego I thought it was pitiful. The parents and all involved should have been ashamed of themselves. To exploit and mess up thre mind of one so young shame shame on them. Buff

Were You Ever Put On Any "Restrictions" While You Were A Witness?
by minimus inthe elders and the watchtower society are big fans of using "restrictions".
anytime a person has judicial action taken against them, they are imposed with "automatic restrictions".
even if a body of elders felt that a person was too fragile to have any restriction placed upon them, they were required by the society to "restrict" them in something.......were you ever put on restrictions?
-
buffalosrfree
I was put on restrictions once, that of course without telling me they had put me on restrictions. At the book study they hadn't asked me to pray (thank God) so i was enjoying that. But after awhile my wife started bugging me about it and me not knowing why or caring and was loving being left alone. Well eventually she asked the elder while i was talking with him he acted like he didn't know what she was talking about and when she left he told me that "he and the brothers had thought with the way things were going that they wouldn't have me pray for awhile oh good I said, that took him back a few steps. But then I asked him oh by the way when were you guys going to tell me about it? Was i suppose to know by osmosis or what? Big mistake he then started having me do the prayer at the next few book (repetition recitals) studys. So yes i had been placed on restriction(s) but of course I didn't deserve to know about it. oh gee!!!

Would You Vote For Arnold Schwarzenegger, If You Could?
by minimus inwith all the publicity in california, if you were able to vote in the governor's race, would arnold be your man??
?

VOTING FOR ARNOLD!!! durn straight, not Bustamecha, Gray has to go, Tom can't win, Arnold is the man. He has business experience, Accusations do not make one's accusation truthful. I mean after all they are Democrats, I bet everyone of them were. 10, 20 plus years ago and now suddenly they are coming out and making accusations, balooney, if they we in fact touched then the probably like it and me thinks one should investigate their checking accounts and see how much they have gained for thier supposed stories. Oh and I'm not a Republican either, Independent. Like Clinton somewhat but bubba was kind of a corkscrew. Cant stand his wife, he can;t either probably that probably what promotes all the chasing.
GO ARNOLD OUR NEXT GOVERNOR, HE CAN'T MESS UP WORSE THAN GRAY AND HE WONT BE TAKING CARE OF ALL THE ILLEGALS, AND THOSE OF COLOR EXCEPT OF COURSE THE ASIANS.

What's Your Opinion of the Opposite Sex?
by minimus inare you of the mind that all men and all women are basically the same?
you know---all men just have one thing on their mind or all women are just users?
there's so much stereotyping when it comes to males and females...typical man, typical woman.

Did Jesus disassociate from Judaism? Do we need to DA from the borg?
by BLISSISIGNORANCE inis 'formal' disassociation from the borg a scriptural prerequisite?.
do we have scriptural examples of written statements for disassociation?.
or is it all a jw concept?.

I faded and now its getting late in the year and gee the new year will bring dubbies around wanting to know if we want to read the bible with them or the latest book at the book study.
they will show they really don't give a hoot and you will be left alone for another year. When asked why i don't attend, i said meeting are boring, unmotivational, uninspirfing and just plain boring no thought at all has to be into them just reply and anwer what they want to hear and no problem. They get that deer in the headlights look to them and then tell me they have missed me (i know they failed to hit me with whatever they were throwing at me) and then they leave. GOOD RIDANCE. BUFF
