the annual meeting of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses will be in october 2014.. .. in november 2013, just after the last one they published this now famous statement in the 15th of november 2013 watchtower page 16 paragraph 17 says:.
"at that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from jehovahs organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.
all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.".
Re-read the watchmaker quotes fom the opening post again.
It is irrelevant what new light may be introduced. The message is "you will accept it".
They are reminding you of your vulnerability to disfellowshipping.
They smile in your face as they explain their changes with the butt of a gun showing under their polyester suit coat.
The r and f understand perfectly.
forgive me for indulging in a goodbye but it would feel wrong not to,.
i hope the discussions and atmosphere here do not change for it is a bubbling brew of doubt, bravery and sincere hunger for answers.
these are healthy ingrediants for humans and especially for a jehovah's witness.. this forum offers not just the ability to ask without consequence, but it also offers the means to be real.
As long as you remember to instruct all of your patients not to cook in aluminum and eat a lot of raw garlic, you will be fine.
everybody cringes when i tell them that my dr wants to put me on beta blockers.
is there an alternative to not going on them if your dr recommends it?
maybe armegeddon is around the corner and i may not have to worry about it..
Had a brush with atrial fibrillation recently. They spoke of putting me on rat poison, aka, warfarin. This a Rube Goldberg method of preventing stroke causing clots by thinning the blood. No thank you
the old guys sided with hobby lobby today in denying birth control coverage to its female employees based on the owners religious views.
intact- is viagra for the guys.

Thanks, shana. You are one of the few who got to the point. The rest are knee jerk, Ill informed liberal flibberdegibbits. They are a font of misinformed blather.
oscar wilde the famous writer & poet, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/oscar_wilde) had a brother called toby.. after oscar made his name in london, toby decided to follow his brother to the u.k. however, he chose to settle down north of london, in the market town of bourne which is in lincolnshire.

he became well known for his song writing, and his most famous composition - which reflected his life - is still popular today - "bourne toby wilde"!!
No cigar.
i found this link really interesting: inequality.is and associated with the excellent robert reich documentary: inequality for all.. .
The godamn word is "incentives". More simply called ambition. This is a very individualistic thing. Certainly not something that can be engineered by big government. "Income equality" is a foolish, socialist lure for the ignorant dreamers.
the more i learn about jw's the harder it is.

obama speaks at us war cemetery on d-day landings anniversary.
"united states of america is and will remain the greatest force for freedom the world has ever known.".
on may 28, obama delivered a commencement address to the us armys newest officers at west point, where he argued america would remain an empire forever.. .
New York, so true, but this position breeds resentment in the world. A dominating defense is a requirement. Kumbaya only exists in the minds of those of a childish vision.
something i ponder about now and again.
i don't shave that much, maybe twice a week so it's not even a big deal, but i saw someone at the health club using an electric shaver and that got me pondering all over again.. .
i've been using mach iii recently and fairly happy with that.
I WAX MY FACE ONCE A WEEK. I WAX MY CHEST, ARMPITS AND GENITALS ONCE A ... just kidding. My god that hurts to even imagine.
Butt seriously, I use Gillette Good News disposables. I get many shaves from one. Rinse and dry on the towel, they are the same blades used in the sexy $5.00 jobs.
Interesting topic. In the past month I have been through several medical procedures that involve electrodes taped to my hairy chest, IV's taped to my hairy arms and the removal of tape is more painful than the needles, etc.
