  ""As a public service, I am sharing in an earth-wide distribution of this important message.""

  ""Has anyone checked the U.S. tax laws for 2006? I wonder if this has anything to do with the religious tax repeal in Canada? Are they going to announce that they are not a religion but a public service group as they have done in Mexico to avoid taxation? Are they preparing themselves for a rehash of the 90's when they went to a donation bases on the rags to avoid taxes? Any thoughts?""

  Sorry but I have known pioneers and others who used this expression, "As a public service," years ago. Nothing new or earthshattering to me.

  he also criticized the beliefs of jehovah's witnesses, saying they put people at risk by denying them potentially life-saving treatment.

  iowa city (ap) --- a jehovah's witness who would not permit blood transfusions for his comatose wife has been barred from making her medical decisions.. .

  The following was taken from the comment section from Judge sides with family in religious medical dispute

  Bob Corr wrote on August 17, 2006 3:27 PM : "The reality is this. Regardless of what ANY of us believe or don't believe, this woman's husband is most likely acting in accord with his wife's wishes. To have the courts get involved in a medical decision is FRIGHTENING! It is for this reason that EVERYONE should have a medical directive CLEARLY spelling out their wishes in the event that they become incapacitated. IF Mrs. Nissen had such documentation, the courts would never have gotten involved."

  What else will the court system take away from you?

  "That family slaughter was a shocking story. The WTBTS must bear some responsibility for what happened to them."

  Yes it was shocking. However the people responsible for the muders were caught and convicted. People are responsible for their own actions. To try to blame others is foolish.

  .

  my son just informed me that his grandfather left him and his brother, (his only grandsons) , money for their education.. i had no idea, of the amount but it did make sense to me...a suposed $50,000.00 but the will was on a small personal computer and promptly erased by someone in my mom's kh at her request.. she has in the mean time shunned me, and low and behold sent $200,000.00 to the society.

  this tires me beyond belief.. thanks for listneing....i am feeling crazy!.

  Would such a "will" be valid? I've never heard of such an option. How would it be witnessed and signed by those witnesses?

  I'm of the opinion that disco music SHOULD have been killed before it ever got started.

  To qoute some lines from an Everclear song:

  " I like pop, I like soul, I like rock but I never liked disco"

  Loved the video with "Disco sucks" on the t-shirt.

  COFFINS in the Kingdumb hall.....

  by kid-A in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i recall going to several jw funerals as a small kid where the coffin had been brought into the hall, a service that must have been provided by.

  the funeral parlour.

  however, since the early 80s, i have never again attended a jw funeral with a casket present in the hall.

  Never saw a coffin in ANY kingdom hall I attended a memorial service.

  Actually memorial services at a kingdom hall seems to be a newer thing around here, in the past 5 or 6 years.

  Not sure where that came from but someone is just plain wrong. There is no such "policy" or restriction.
