i know of someone that has made no bones about being somewhat unhappily married.
they got married because they "fooled around" and felt it was the "right thing to do".. i wonder how many people are unhappily married?
?.
The Finger:
I was only talking to my wife the other day and everybody we could name are either divorced separated or one of the partners isnt happy whilst the other claims to be blissful. One woman I know, they claim a happy marriage whilst the husband yanks out her hair when he's annoyed. Marriage mates make good liars in my opionion
That about sums it up!
some of you may know, i've been meeting with a jw lady, for a "bible" study (i hate calling it that).
i've been trying to end it pretty much since.
i've gotten more insight on their religion...i've blantently said that i don't like the "governing body", i don't agree with the blood doctrine, can't.
Hey KRistiKay...I thought you were going to quit your study with this lady?
Thats the only way for you to really have true peace of mind. You see thats the way JW's work they destroy ones religious belief and supplant it with theirs. They use their own twisted logic as a wedge to make you doubt what you believe and eventually that causes doubts to stir with in you and open you up to their interpretations of things.
IMO if you want to reason with-in yourself to refine your personal beliefs thats cool, but dont let a JW, who has proven themselves to be self serving and biased to their own stance, sway you and cause confusion.
IronHead thx for that clip!
Brings up a question watching it...How long has Pam Oliver been doing sideline?
the opening article of the new april 2011 wt starts by talking about israel abandoning jehovah.
"in one section of.
their camp, the israelites sawthe pillar of fire.
My impression of how things have shifted in the literature from the 70s to the present time is that the GB is MUCH more in your face about their authority.
Well considering the GB really didn't come into true existance till the '70's thats to be expected.
I still haven't recovered from the Patriots loss...
Oh well enough of that, gimme:
Packers Vs steelers for SB!
when i began questioning the religion i used the bible and their own statements to prove them wrong.
now, recently, i have began to realise that maybe the only reason i put any faith in the bible is because i was always raised to.. so my question is, after leaving the watchtower, what was it that made you decide the bible was worthy of belief?.
i am not asking about any continuing belief in god or disbelief, i am more conscerned about the first step (to me) right now of the bible itself.
For me...Upon further review after my awakening I realized that I could not get out of the book of genesis without finding major plot holes for it to be the 'inspired word of god.'
I now view the bible as an account of jewish mythology and beliefs/laws.

Honestly, I don't see anyone beating the Pats this year and I really hate them. But, Hoody is a genius.
Give yourself to the dark side!
being an immigrant before being a jw, i was always inclined to root for the democrats.. even until 2 years ago (look at my old posts) i used to make fun of and criticize bush.. i used to even hate the republicans for trying to be the moral police of everything.. .
this has changed.. thanks to you guys, obama and the agenda to re-distribute the wealth of this country's citizens............. i oppose your agenda.. liberals true stripes are showing in bankrupting this country.. .

The repub/dem debate in picture
a judge ordered the baby son of a jehovah witness couple to be given a life-saving blood transfusion after a dramatic court hearing in his home in the early hours of the morning.. judge gerard hogan said barristers for temple street children's hospital arrived at his house at 1am on december 27 and argued the desperately ill three-month-old boy needed urgent treatment.. neither the infant nor his parents were identified in the high court judgment, which was published today.. judge hogan ruled that while parents have the constitutional right to raise their children to their own religious and philosophical views, the state has a vital interest in ensuring children are protected.. "but there is absolutely no doubt but that the court can intervene in a case such as this where the child's life, general welfare and other vital interests are at stake," he added.. judge hogan heard that when the baby boy was born in september 2010 he had been a twin, with a sister who did not survive.. on christmas day the infant was suffering from acute bronchiolitis when his condition deteriorated.
at one point he stopped breathing and had to be resuscitated.. he was transferred to temple street the following day where his condition became critical.
his liver was distended and by that evening his haemoglobin level plummeted to the point where a transfusion was necessary.. the judge said while the boy's parents were clearly anxious for his welfare and had allowed the use of blood products earlier that day, as committed jehovah witnesses they were steadfast in their opposition to this procedure.. the hospital made contact with the court's duty register at 10pm that night and the high court hearing was swiftly arranged.. consultant dr kevin carson, clinical director of intensive care, argued the youngster's life was in danger and there were no medical alternatives to a transfusion.. the parents were not legally represented at the judge's house, but were aware of the issues as the court had previously sanctioned a blood transfusion for another child of theirs.. judge hogan continued: "there is no doubt as to the sincerity of the religious beliefs of the parents.. "they struck me as wholesome and upright parents who were most anxious for the welfare of their child, yet steadfast in their own religious beliefs.
I wonder was there a hospital liason committee over there?
I ask this because here in the states I have (in the past) spoken with brothers who were on the HLC and they told me that when it comes to children they have orders from the society to give way to doctors when it involves children. Even back than I believed this to be a legal matter for them to give way rather than a matter of belief.
But with the posted situation I have to wonder is there a different mandate for other countries?
