Only in America?

about 10 years ago i visited the three new york bethels - patterson, brooklyn and wallkill.

at the time, i was still very much mentally infatuated with the organization, so the trip was filled with wonder and nostalgia.

i can remember being told by a tour guide at wallkill that they were now so familiar with things constantly changing and being improved that the information they give on tours can quickly become out-of-date.

If it hadn't started here, Jehovah would have started it somewhere else...(rocks cry out, or some such)

I'll have to think about that and get back to you

by donny in

yesterday afternoon i was speaking to my jw neighbor and he managed to get on the topic of "unity" that defines true christianity.

i then said "what if you have some in a church who believes certain days are more holy than others and yet others who think all days are the same?

is that acceptable?".

He will use the "read between the lines" rationale that all loyal JWs use, when things just don't make sense.

If THIS MAN were a Jehovah's Witness 2 million babies would be dead

by Terry in

james harrison has magical blood.. specifically, his blood contains an extremely rare enzyme that can be used to treat babies dying of rhesus disease.

if you've never heard of that disease and figure it's not a big deal, well, wait for the numbers.. harrison, being a generous type, has donated his rare, life-saving blood roughly 1,000 times over 56 years.

this has saved the lives of--seriously, you're not going to believe this--over two million babies around the world.. .
