Yes to both, especially if my children needed it, and we are the same blood type, who better than me? I would try to get the substitutes for myself first, if possible, only because of the risks involved, if not maybe find a family member of freind who I know didn't do questionable things, to share their blood with me, I would of course do the same for them.

"I Took the Blue Pill", to the tune of "Margaritaville"

this only makes sense if you're familiar with the red pill/blue pill decision faced in the movie "the matrix".

if you aren't familiar with it, and don't mind finding out without watching the movie, you can read about it here: http://www.arrod.co.uk/essays/matrix.php.

(i'd just tell you, but i don't want to spoil it for you if you'd rather see the movie first.).

JW Lifestyle

by ScaryHairy in

jw

i dont think i will ever understand it, i mean why would someone want to be so much of a hypocrit(doesnt apply to everyone) ?.

it seems to me that most jw's are into themselves and stupid relationships.

if someone is talking its about one of those two things.

ICBehindtheCurtain

JW's are a herd of stupid cows walking down a path. The path encircles a vast mountain, and every year the cows complete another circle around it. They foolishly tell themselves that they are walking down a narrow path leading to eternal salvation. ;However, in the end, they are just a ;herd of foolish cattle walking in circles that lead them right back ;to where they started. There is no JW salvation, only a never ending path to walk ;and other foolish cows to try and impress.

That is they JW lifestyle.

Lucid Dreaming -- Ever done it? Can you do it at will?

by AlmostAtheist in

jw
friends

something tipped you off; a guy with a hat made of dead fish, your mom complimenting your clothing choice, wording on billboards change each time you look at them -- something that you know wouldn't happen in real life.. sometimes in dreams you just buy it, like it's perfectly normal to wear a fish hat.

but some lucky times you catch it, and then all bets are off!

fly, eat like a pig, kick puppies -- the sky's the limit!.

ICBehindtheCurtain

Yes, and it's totally Cool! it started when I was about 9, I would picture a tv screen in my mind with those old knobs they had, I would then change the channel and different themes would show on screen then I'd simply pick which one I wanted to be in and jump in, it was AWSOME! I was able to this for a long time, although I no longer used the tv screen, I would just think about what I wanted to dream, close my eyes and there I was, other times in the dream I become aware and pretty much do anything I want, I must say the most amazing ones have been when I can fly, it's so real.

It's been awhile since I've done it, hopefully one of these days I can do so again.

Oh no, here we go again, my mom won't shut up about this one for months, it was bad enough hearing about obedience to the damn GB last summer, now they might get these poor brainwashed fools to start selling their stuff, and not getting necessary dental work done, basically putting off life for this LOAD OF CRAPOLA!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, there I feel better now

If the WTS was totally discredited in the eyes of the JWs

by greendawn in

if a really big scandal happened in the wts and the r&f realised that the organisation is the big con that it is, how do you think they would react?

empty kingdom halls?

divided families re united?

ICBehindtheCurtain

There are sadly many people in this bOrganization that have given up all ties to the world ie. relatives, freinds, jobs, relationships etc. not to mention many years of servitude, if something BIG happened and they realized that all this is BUNK, I think quite a few of them would commit suicide, others I think would be so enraged that like someone already said, Kingdom Halls would start going up in flames, mass dumping or burning of the garbage literature, and Bethel well lets say it might end up like good old Babylon a pile of rubble. But even at that point I agree that there would be some idiots that would think that Satan and his system is attacking in fullfilment of a prophecy, and probably a small group would keep going.

But I hope I live to see that day .

DID YOU MAKE RETURN VISITS?

by badboy in

jw
friends

or couldn't you be bothered?

ICBehindtheCurtain

Return visits, to me were like carrying this freakin load on your back, you placed the dumb mags with people, then you had to write their name etc. down, and you were supposed to visit them to pursue a possible bible study with them, if you didn't you were told that if that person missed out on eternal life (becoming a JW) because you didn't return, their blood was on your hands and Jehovah will hold you accountable in the end, talk about mental torture.

I remember every time they brought this up at meetings (the reminders), my consience would be really bothering me, because I hated to go back, for some reason I didn't want to start studies with people, I always thought "what if I do something that makes them not want to become a JW?" like maybe not show up at one of the bible studies, or say something that would turn them off, then I would really fail Jehovah. Yes you can laugh, that's how brainwashed I was then.
