do you think awake would find it immoral enough to drop a line, or - does such a practise even agree with bible`s minimum standards?
don`t forget: organ-transplant is allowed.
there is no verse in bible found condemning such practise.... see:.
ERICH - You go, brother!
Which means - "Don't go - you have been heard and at least partially understood."
reb8 - can we cut this well-meaning person some slack? Take a chill pill.
Personally, I've always enjoyed the German idiom/sentence structure. At least this man knows 2 languages!
Auld Soul - thanks for the oil on troubled waters.
Jeesh!
what if we did a letter writing campaign to one of the big news shows about the 'big news' and asked them to check into this?
i think it would require large amounts of mail to get noticed.
any thoughts on this?
What is the negative side about refusing blood?
Well, Grissom, in a life or death situation, the negative side would be..............uh.............death

Eh?
i have a friend that was dumb enough to allow two elders in his house at the same time to talk to him, he let them in.
i have told him over and over again never to talk to two elders at the same time.
i'll get to the point.

Hey, y'all - two things:
i remember knocking on a door in the field service, and the girl who answered the door, looked at me and said in french, "allez vous faire crosser" .
although i didn't laugh, i found it very funny.
the brother with me also had a smile on his face, but didn't say a word, as we walked back to the car.
the guy answered, looked me and my buddy over and said in a I-can't-believe-you-have-the-nerve voice, "It's Christmas." He didn't yell it, that I could've handled. But this shock, this disbelief, this dumfoundedness at our total disregard for his family's and our own culture's traditions -- it ate through me like a knife attached to a chainsaw.
AA Dave,
Touching - those were the kind of responses that really left me feeling sick inside.
As an extremely shy little girl, it was sheer cruelty to be sent out into neighborhoods armed only with my little 10cent magazines, hoping fervently not to be seen by anyone I knew (and feeling guilty as hell for that hope). Those hours just had to be longer than 60 minutes each.......................
as 2004 winds down and my 4th year of association at this board winds down as well, my posting stats accurately reflect a transitition that been going on for me with respect to the jw religion, a process that is quite natural and healthy.
i'm sure that many members have had a similar experience.
here's a rundown of four years here for me: .
Wow....as a Newbie (but very old exjw) it was really neat to read the entire thread, picking up one year later.
Thank you, Rocketman - and I agree that it is healthy to let all this diminish in your thoughts. The anger can be unhealthy with so little outlet for it and that's why the Big News offers potential for activism. Sitting around kvetching can be healing - but after awhile you need to go take a shower and get some fresh air.
darwin awards for 2005. .
in case you haven't received them yet, here are this year's darwin awards -- the annual honor given to the person who improved the "gene pool" the most by killing themselves in the most extraordinarily stupid way.
as always, competition this year has been keen.
Thank you, Brenda. I presume that last one was a JW analogy?
Cheezy, of the No-more-elephant-dung,-thank-you class
.
last night my pub quiz team finished second, and we won 5. i doubt it's enough to bring down the wts though.
anyone else with any small news?
ENIGMA -
Your boss just called with a message for you:
You're fired!
For sitting on the 'net all day instead of making sales.
