Daystar, you are exactly right. Odd that you mention the light switch thing. When I was an elder, a young, mid 20's, couple with a small child came to us very concerned because the young woman had some very bizarre, almost disabling, OCD type obsessions that were getting worse and worse. The light switch was one of them. As I recall, she was up to 70 or 80 on/off cycles before she could stop. It saddens me to recall that all we did was to tell her to pray to 'hovah. She badly needed professional help.

There were some blue crystals found in acheological digs at the site of Sodom and Gomorrah. They turned out to be Tidy Bowl tablets. They also found a lot of foil condom wrappers, KY Jelly tubes and copies of music for ancient show tunes..

In Honor of the "BIG NEWS," Put Your WTS Anecdotal Metaphor Here!
by Frannie Banannie ini was thinking about the "big news" concerning the wts blood policy and the legal ramifications to the wts re: the child molestation-rape-physical abuse issues.
i considered how the scriptures address babylon the great as a harlot and how the ot shows a harlot will have her skirts raised and be exposed for what she is.. i recognized that the wts has usurped the mediator's place and given themselves the title as the only mediator between god and mankind, and the fds (feminine deodorant spray?
) is the "bride class" and how they are now being exposed as the cancerous pimple on the butt of humanity that the wts is via the media's turning their attention to the legal issues surrounding the abuse and denial of blood transfusions for their members, causing loss of lives.. i thought of the children's movie, "the little mermaid," wherein the sea witch had stolen the voice of the little mermaid and was manipulating her way to the altar as the prince's bride when the bird's attacked, causing her to be exposed as the wicked sea witch that she was.

BROOKLYN, NY - In a brief written statement handed out to reporters this afternoon, Mr. Ted Jaracz, current president of the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society, better known to most as the Jehovah's Witnesses, made the following announcement concerning one of the organizations most high profile doctrines.
"Recent developments have been widely reported in the press concerning the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society's position on the issue of blood transfusions. These reports have caused me to take a hard look at our firmly held belief that such use of blood is expressly condemned by the Holy Scriptures. Over the last 60 years this belief as led to the loss of life for many faithful Witnesses and their loved ones. After prayerful considering the legal liabilities the Society is now exposed to, the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses has unanimously decided to repeal this doctrinal edict and hereafter leave the decision of wether or not to use blood in medical procedures to the conscience of the individual member. This in no way should be viewed as a fuck up by the Society. We sincerely apologize to those who might have been inconvienienced by this misunderstanding. We exhort all Jehovah's Witnesses to please, just "never mind" what we said in the past. We never said we were perfect."

This is all good stuff.
This media exposure can lead to more lawsuits.
It can also help the people who are just starting a Babble Study and the big seed pod under their bed hasn't started to bubble and froth yet.
and on and on and on...!!
