Here's an elder who killed a girl while police say was driving drunk.
I'm not sure if he is still an elder or not.

I'm fond of Iai because I can practice my kata anywhere, and even have an excuse to look for more traditional Shinken. You can use bokken when starting since there is a very real chance of skewering yourself when sheathing the kat. I find it more interesting than other sword based arts because it revolves around the true essence of the sword; it only comes out for a brief instant and in that instant your opponent dies. Other arts seem too silly, lots of jumping around and dancing and not much dismembering.
There is a two person Iai kata but no "sparring" or competition other than form and speed.
I also like jiu-jutsu for unarmed contact work.

Matt 22:23-30--no sex for resurrected ones?
by M.J. inthe wts promotes the idea that in the "new system" members of the great crowd, who are not resurrected, will be able to marry and have children.. but what about those that are resurrected?.
does the wts apply matt 22:23-30 to people resurrected on earth?
(the passage is obviously applied to people who were pre-new covenant).

Using the WT's words against it is one of the best ways to anti-witness to the congo.
MANY times I have spoken with the up-&-coming wanna be an elder couple who is waiting to have kids in the "new system."
It's like a mantra in some congos almost as if there is a stigma attached to having children in the here and now.
My way of forcing them back to reality is to tell them the personal experience that a 70 y/0 sister in my old congo related to me urging me to have lots of kids.
She and her husband waited and waited for the new system until she was unable to have kids (menopause I assume). The brother died of cancer a few months later and now the sister is ALLllllllll alone and literally eating cat food on her $500 per month SS check. I used this tale to ask an elder if the old and decrepit will receive new bodies at Armageddon so the sister can have children in the new system.
One elder said "No" and another said "Yes"
The elder who said yes is in his 50's, married with no children. He and his wife are waiting for the new system

I'm still confused. At first I thought all those creaking decrepit old JW's thought that Jehovah would give them new bodies at Armageddon, but on further reflection it seems that only the resuurected will receive new bodies and the creaking decrepit old Dubs will wander around for 1,000 in their decrepit earthly bodies.
Am I wrong on this because I STILL can't get a straight answer about this out of the Dubs

I throw the pit of doom wallpaper on the comp in the KH library every once in a while.
I like to alternate it with the terrified chicks in front of the cocktail lounge and XXX movie theatre.
These morons have to realize how stupid this looks if they see it enough.

I've seen the WT drawings of dogs and cats falling into the pit of doom. It's actually logical because what would a million JWs do with the pets of 300 Million Americans?
Just like all the zoo animals and animals in pet stores they would starve.
A good question would be what about animals with NO owners like wild animal and the aforementioned pet shop/zoo creatures.

Who cleans the KH?
by solo ini just had a flash back to when we used to have to clean the kh.
each group had to take it in turn to do the cleaning.. in our group we had a bunch of lazy b*****ds, so it was left to us kids and our dad to clean the kh, bogs, etc.
even my mum used to find some excuse to duck out.. so if meetings, door knocking, studying, praying wasn't enough we also had to spend a couple of hours cleaning every month or so.

Elsewhere;
I'm pretty sure that the TOS for YouTube permits the posting and hosting of violent videos. Why would you even want to block the public from seeing videos of US soldiers getting killed? CNN and NBC has been doing it for years and presenting them in an open media. At lest on YouTube the user has to actively look for them.
The nice thing about having an all volunteer army is that these guys signed up for their job and are all "adults" who knew the risks involved. This is the main difference between these videos and the type of video that YouTube does NOT permit. Don't want to see them killed? Don't watch.
Me I think it's a wonderful wake-up call for the masses about the nature of police actions (can't call it a "War" because Congress hasn't funded it $1TRILLION later)
