  I had a sister complain to my P.O. daddy that I wore a gold chain... I had to take it off.

  Reason?

  To each his/her own.

  97.5 million viewers watched the Superbowl so someone other than me must have been interested!

  Accessibility to guns to blame for violence?

  by 5thGeneration in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with all the talk about the increased violence in schools and among society, it still surprises me that the accessibility to guns argument often tends to trump the cultural argument.. maybe i'm out of touch but showing saw iii uncut on hbo at 10pm and releasing the most violent video games in history and the marketing of violent and perverse music, these are the things to me that desensitises young people first and then may trigger some hurt and unstable kids long before they go and buy a gun.. okay, ready to be blasted (pardon the pun)!.

  Sorry Oracle.

  I don't get it!

  Fighter pilot with green eyes has something to do with the Utopian view that law abiding citizens can have guns but we can somehow take them away from criminals?

  OK!

  As well as the most over rated and over covered sport in the US. You forget it's not just the NFL it's college football too. They suck up a lot of week end TV as well as news time.

  5go,

  Okay! Whatever you say.

  P.S. I am now convinced that football sucks and I will never watch it again!

  Not generally a half-full kind of guy here but, yeah, I had a great time with a lot of great friends over my life in the 'Truth'.

  No Canuck who played hockey with all his truth buddies, went out for wings and beer, gossiped about the congregation, had great card parties with friends and great camaraderie could dispute that!

  Disclaimer: Not technically 'out' yet but no meetings for over a year.

  Accepting blood in a 'weak' state is not necessarily a disfellowshipping offense anymore.

  Depends on the circumstances and the C.O. and the local elders.

  P.S. I spoke with a C.O. once who was dealing with this issue and they decided not to DF a sister who accepted a transfusion because she was in a 'weak' state. The Society is making it more vague all the time.
