  today, i go over to a fast food place for lunch, and while i am walking to find a table with my food, a group of rowdy and unsupervised 10-12 year olds come tearing through the restaurnat, and one of them runs into me.

  my food and drink goes flying, and i shoot daggers at the stupid brat.

  this brat doesn't even apologize.

  Birthdays-Are They REALLY Wrong To Celebrate??

  by Lady Liberty in

  good morning all and happy tuesday,.

  most everyone knows that jehovahs witnesses do not celebrate birthdays.

  the reason is that there are two examples given in the bible of birthdays and bad things happened both times.

  Nose:

  is that it gives "undue attention" to one person

  That is the second reason (other than the bad things happen on birthday argument) that Dubs use.

  But why when do they come out with Awake issues like the one that celebrated the dead kids who refused transfusions? If it were a general discussion that would be one thing, but they used real names and photos. Surely that gives "undue attention"?

  A child bumps into you and you explode like a raging maniac in the middle of the restaurant?

  Dude, you seem to have a problem; might want to have that checked out.

  "Critical Hour" JW dies from no-blood policy

  by parakeet in

  2. friends

  i just finished watching a discovery health channel program called "the critical hour," which featured the cases of four trauma patients (9:00 pm, edt).

  i missed the beginning of the program, but apparently an elderly jw woman suffered a fall, was critically injured, and her only option for survival was surgery plus blood transfusions.

  while she was still able to speak, she refused blood; later her jw husband, accompanied by the ever-present liaison committee jw, also refused the transfusion.

  It can be argued very logically that the woman did not "obey God's law" (even the Dubz aren't sure what is required under NT instructions, thus the "light" changes every few years), but instead committed suicide.

  In the simplest form of logical progression we know that natural law is always constant.

  People cannot live without blood.

  If you need blood and don't accept it , then you will die.

  QED it's suicide and she will be destroyed. Nice going dicks!

  So is America finally getting wiser? Who still believes this nonsense?

  by Jourles in

  washington (afp) - for the first time since it began, a majority of americans believe the iraq war is not part of the war on terrorism, as us president george w. bush keeps insisting it is, according to a poll.. fifty-one percent of the 1,206 adults surveyed in the august 17-21 new york times/cbs news poll believed the two wars were separate, while 44 percent saw a link between them.

  in june, opinion was split evenly at 41 percent..

  rest of the story here.

  Most Americans that I've spoken to do not agree with George Dubya's 'War on Terror'. Funny how you can lie to 250,000,000 about WMD, be responsible for thousands of deaths and put the country into debt to the tune of over a trillion dollars and you're not impeached. I guess that's because Georige Boy didn't commit the unforgivable sin and have a 21 year old on her knees in the Oval Office when he was implementing the plans for invasion.

  Not sure how they do it up there in "little America" Mary, but in the real US we only impeach Presidents when they break the law.

  Being a stupid, dumb-ass, greedy Texan (notice I did not use American because the two have different agendas) is not against the law unfortunately.

  It sounds like they are just getting worse and worse! How do they keep anybody?

  Some will fall out (not many because most don't actually read/believe/think it pertains to them) over this kind of stuff, but the "very spiritual" meaning the truly brainwashed will eat it up for the martyrism of it all.

  The kind of person who likes being a member of a contrarian cult eats up this kind of stuff, and they also think it makes them better than the rest.

  .

  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!.

  The only way to "erase" a HD is to get a 5lb sledge hammer and break it into a million pieces.

  Dropping it into the bay afterwards is also recommended.

  Why don't you call the elders and tell them you want to reassociate yourself? Go to one meeting and ask for permission to speak to your Mom. Most elders will see that as a reasonable request and grant it. They will even call her and tell her that Hehoover has blessed you and you may now communicate with her again.

  When that happens ask her for the money then when you get it spout every apostate idea you can think of; show up at her house wearing a cross and XMas tree on your head then deny everything to the elders.

  Make them pay

  this is a small town area.

  i actually used to live about three houses down from these people.

  when i read of something like this, it makes me all the more careful as a parent and never assume anything when it comes to your young children.

  Why are you invading that man's privacy by posting this article?

  Just curious because that was the response in the deleted thread about the JW Elder David Pleake in WA who drove drunk and killed a 22 y/o girl last Saturday.

  This guy isn't even a JW that I can see.

  Hey Wanderer!

  There was a public announcement made in my congo in Sept or Oct 2002 that basically said: "We needed a library card and that's the end of it". I remember the "don't talk about it any more" was impllied.

  If a Dub wants to question the voice of the GB (sent in letter form to the congo) only one thing is going to come out of it.

  The irritating slant to almost everything negative I have seen on Witnesses

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i left the witnesses, a person from work gave me a video about the witnesses that his church uses.

  i thought it would be interesting, so i set down and watched it.

  what i found was another example of one church taking about another, to then counter with points that support their way of thinking.

  I'd say you are experiencing the after effects of the "where else would you go syndrome" Just because something is ruined beyond repair you don't have to get a new one when you throw it away; sometimes we forget that doing NOTHING is a viable option. It is certainlt better than doing something we knoe is harmful both to ourselves and to others.
  

  I would NEVER suggest a religion to another person although I know it is considered chic to "try on" the various frou-frou ones.

  Nope, the only thing I am good at is the anti-witness. I will do everything in my power to show the Dubs just how ignorant they are for listening to a bunch of dying old men in Bklyn
