ronin and all you others out there listen to this. aids is practicaly impossible to transmitt through saliva. i quote the text book "microbiology" by kathleen park talaro. pg. 770 says "Extensive studies have indicated that, even within families, infection of healthy persons has occurred only after know exposure to blood." "the AIDS virus does not survive for al long outside the host, and it is far more sensitivew to heat and disinfectants. In general, AIDS is spread only by direct and rather specific routes involving intimate contact with an infectious dose." "The virus can be isolated from urine, tears, sweat, and saliva, but in such small numbers (less than 1 virus per cubic centimeter) that they are not considered sources of infection." insurance agents and people who know people that have aids does not make them anymore knowledgeable of the disease. its rediculous for someone to not accept someone with aids into their houses. you cannot get it from a toilet seat or any other non direct ways. please dont be as ignorant as the J-dubs are about this. aoxo

9Article about HIV
by Moomin induring one of my book studies, the subject of hiv came up.
i was told that if a brother or sister was infected with the virus then they should humbly accept the fact that some people may not want them in their homes.
so anyone with the virus will be able to attend meetings at the kh but not the book study or any social gatherings.

I have trust issues , but what do you think about this ....
by troubled mind inthe reverend down the street has made friends with my son ...... yesterday we came down hard on our 18 yr old son because he has not gotten a job since graduation , and can not pay for his share of the cell phone or car insurance .
so we took these privileges away until he can pay .
well he must of went over to the rev's last night and the guy offered to give him $100.

the idea of offering your son $100 is a little fishy to me. the healthy and real solution is to get your son to get a job or more gigs. by the way i have used several temp. agency's in my life. they do have lots of blue collar warehouse jobs and all sorts of jobs. but i would definately be weary of this preist guy. you dont have to give free money to be a good hearted person. it sounds like he wants something in return...

giving a talk
by aoxo ini was reading "crises of conscience" and came to a part that described the governing body meetings and how some of the gb were asleep and not realy paying attention to the subject at hand but raised their hands at the end of the meeting just to agree with the new resolution despite how it may affect the bro's and sis of the cong.
it reminded me how elders critiqueing my talks and telling me i had to work on a certain point like gestures when i worked damn hard to get checked good on that point and realizing that they weren't paying attention to my talk at all.
other times i was marked good on some point that i didn't even bother to read up on in the tmsgb.

arther, there was a referance in CoC when there was a certain older man in the GB that would sleep through the meetings and then at the end would just raise his hand and agree with whatever was being discussed. and yes i also think that a lot of elders were not very well educated enough to decide how good my talks were.

What one thing reminds you most of being a Witness?
by free2beme inthe mind is full of all kinds of things that can trigger memories.
it could be the taste of a certain spice that reminds you of a now passed relative who liked to cook.
it could be the smell of a perfume or cologne, that reminds you of a lover you once could not live without.

side walks, chapstick, buldging book bags carried at waist height (mailman), any pair of people walking together on the sidewalk wearing good clothing. baseball stadiums, microphones, suits, winter driving in cities, old men wearing old hats and polyester pants, mens dress shoes, old smelly apartment buildings, anyone knocking at the door (even the pizza guy), gravel driveways of old country houses with big mean dogs that are unleashed, the smell of someones house from outside their door step, rich houses with blacktop paved driveways, minivans, being in the back seat of a car...

Elders or Marriage Counselors?!?!?! (Read This One)
by thepackage inits interesting how the wts tries to give marital advice via unqualified elders.
recently a friend of mine and his spouse have been having martial trouble.
he no longer believes the wts lies and maintains a low profile.

yeay i feel for this situation. i went through severe depression when i was a Jdub and the elders and parents continued to offer biblical advice to me to help end it. this is one of the ways they can realy be harmfull. someone could kill themselves over this crap and the elders would just respond by saying "well, we did the best we could do". why not try professional help, oh yeay that's because shrinks will cloud our minds away from biblical teachings.

Elders Are Closing In....
by daniel-p inwell, it's been about 6 months or so since i've turned in a time report and things are heating up a bit.
i still attend the meetings with my wife - i am still "visible" - but i have not gone out in service for a conspicuous amount of time.
just this afternoon the po called and wanted to meet with me.

hay undercover, i also have had no real problems with the elders. when i started doubting things they made one shepparding call because i was a reg. pioneer and MS but after that it was nothing. i have the feeling that they just thought it was a phase that i would break out of. even after i moved to another city and attended the meetings (leaving right after) for about a year there were no shepparding calls on me. i got the feeling that nobody cared. or maybe the elders were just so busy with all the other people doing naughty things and their own families that they just didn't have time. nobody seemed to care about me and i just couldn't buy all that propaganda about the all powerfull invisible God.
or maybe just maybe they didn't have a response for all of my "interesting" questions...
