Talking about blood...I remember a convo I had with my still-active brother back last year...he personally felt that it was hypocritical to take blood fractions, since it's verboten for JWs to donate blood - and yet, he couldn't 'join that final mental dot' - i.e. yes, it is hypocritical, so what does THAT make the WTS for telling the sheep that taking fractions is OK (or at most, a 'conscience matter')? The mental gymnastics/rationalisation involved are breathtaking indeed - and incredibly sad...

It's AMAZING How JWs Accept Things!
by minimus ini'm sure you can think of many different examples of how witnesses simply accept a point of view or a lifestyle and just live with it!.
think of something that all jws must accept.....no blood.
no matter how you scripturally rationalize it, witnesses do not follow their own interpretation of "abstaining" from blood.

Check out my molester's Christian mission web site!
by morrisamb inour molester father wrote my brother ronny in sarnia - he also wrote my sister marina c/o of ronny - if you read my book, you would believe the bs he's dishing out..said "donald wrote he got buggered many times when it didn't happen that many times".
that's like a rapist writing the rape victim: "i only raped you once.
you liar!".

Worst Kingdom Melody lyrics- your votes?
by JimmyPage inmy votes for worst kingdom melody lyrics: song 125- "jehovah is on my side" (try singing these lyrics without laughing like beavis and butthead): "i know that in this crucial hour my faith will yet be tested/ around me swarms the devil's crowd like bees that were molested/ but i can ever beat them off beneath divine protection/ on those who love to bear his name god sets his deep affection.
" or how about song 201- "rejoicing with god's nation" (grab your thesaurus for this one): "in a land so good and spacious/ free from strife and things vexatious/ look!
a happy crowd vivacious/ in god's service that is efficacious.

I came for the bees. I was not disappointed .
Also - not the words but the tune - the utterly pointless 'postlude' cobbled on the end of 'Happy are the Merciful' with a high note at the end that I don't think most of the women could even reach - WTF??

The Lengths JWs Go To In Order To Get Away With Things
by minimus ini was just listening to the fifth dimension's 60s song "aquarius".
i remember witnesses loving that songf and actually swubstituting "aquarius" with "asparagus"!
you see, then it was ok to sing.

DublDipd: re "Gift Day" - my late grandmother became a JW in later life - she gave up going to the bingo with some of her family (which caused ructions) and all the usual stuff, but she'd always been big on Christmas (and her grandkids) and, bless her, she just couldn't let go of that...so she had what were known in the family as 'End-Of-The-Year Parties' with loads of prezzies, balloons, and most of the trimmings - stopping just short of the tree
It's what's always gonna happen in a legalistic "religion" If only they could see how ridiculous it all is, and how ridiculous it makes them....

A powerful anti-witness, though at the expense of more wasted and ruined lives, especially those of innocent children...
This strikes a chord with me, as I faced death (along with my JW mother) before I was born because of the blood issue.
"Look after widows and orphans in their tribulation..." how many orphans and widows has the WT created with this UNHOLY doctrine?
"Their sins have amassed clear up to heaven..."

Guys: How do you show your interest?
by serendipity inguys, when you are trying to woo a woman, in the early days before you get physically intimate, how do you show your interest in her?
-

Cardinal Fang
I would've thought that pitching a tent anywhere in a woman's general vicinity would be as an unequivocal a sign of interest as it's possible to give off*
*unless you're wearing sufficiently loose clothing...or you've been short-changed by Mother Nature

A little sidenote that struck me as odd: the visitor from Zimbabwe.....given that everyone outside of Mugabe's circle of cronies is pretty much scratching a literal existence, how in the heck did she get her hands on a ticket??? Jehoober must provide, indeed.....

You Too Can Work For Nothing
by Clam inwhilst "reading" the april 15 watchtowera, i came across an article called disabled yet eager to serve.
i found it quite upsetting, and yet i have to accept the paradigm shifts in play here.. .
a brothera in el salvador has lost both of his hands in an accident, but has designed tools which adapt to his disability, thus allowing him to continue in his chosen building trade.
