110Do you wash your hands after using the restroom?
by John Doe ini've noticed a disturbing trend where 90% of guys don't wash their hands after using the restroom, and probably 25% don't even after number two'ing.
encouragingly, about 80% of the guys in law school do wash their hands.
(i know it's weird, but i count) .

“The biblical instruction is coupled with adultery and sexual immorality,” he said, referring to verses in Acts xv. “It says to abstain from adultery, to abstain from blood, to abstain from immorality,”
yeah it is interesting that the jw stance on this is complete abstinence from adultery and immorality
but only relative abstinence from blood

Tijkmo: My wife and mother of my children very nearly died as this young JW mother did.
my question is purely a technical one..(not an emotional one) however nearly dying is not the same as dying. are you saying that your wife is a jw and so she refused a transfusion as this young jw did...in which case it could be argued that not having blood saved her. or is she not a jw and had blood as you are arguing this jw mother should have and therefore blood would have saved her at it did your wife. see - my mother hemorrhaged at 2 of her births..one she was a jw and one she wasn't, ergo one she had blood and one she didn't. i'm still not convinced that blood saves any better than good medicine and blind luck. i get that the wt has frequently 'updated' its viewpoint which is one of the reasons why many on this board are no longer jws so that means we are not bound by their rules. so again i repeat - why do we care.. even if they changed their stance on blood we are not going back are we.

yes i understand that..
my question i suppose was this..
why do we care so much?
they are not forcing you and i to not have blood.

i am a bit confused at the outrage...
she was a jw and that is what they believe...and so is the family so they were all prepared to make that sacrifice cos its what they believe too.
how is this different from non jws who are prepared to sacrifice their lives for other causes they believe in...like their families or their country.
and if other religious people believe they are going to heaven which is meant to be a better place and the ultimate goal (or nirvana or reincarnation - whatever) then why should we care if they get to go there sooner rather than later.
and if we choose to believe evolution then surely someone dying young only serves to reinforce the concept that he/she wasn't fit to survive.
just a thought.

Did You Ever Say "Thank You For Disfellowshipping Me?"
by Magick init's been a while since i cared about the current events of jehovah's witnesses.
after leaving, my sadness turned to anger then bitterness, then dismissal.
but recently, it's all come back to haunt me like a bad disease.

I did when I was writing letters for two of my reinstatements. It seems the elders really do like to be appreciated and "glorified" for being that channel of God that gets to mete out the discipline
yeah they made me thank them when i got reinstated...thank them for the work they had put in to help me get reinstated..i couldn't believe my ears..i was so exhausted tho i didn't even fight them on this occasion.
idiots
