  Yeah Australia was vicious in that game...
  
  I think australia's next target is going to be the USA after the america coach basically labelled us as easybeats for the next world cup....
  
  I can't believe the US is ranked 8th in the world. The FIFA ranking system is a bit of a joke.. Can't wait for the aussies to do some ass whooping on you yanks! hehehe. I just hope we're in the same group.

  If you think the JW's are correct on Blood don't read

  if anyone can disprove my conclussions please send me a letter in my inbox, or if you can think of other points please drop me a line.

  feel free to copy and use part or all of this letter.

  i started my biblical sereach after i was asked by a brother in my book study group why we could use fraction that was taken from coagulated blood, but can not auto-transfuse {store our own blood for later use} becasue the blood coagulates and then must be poured out onto the ground.

  I remember reading Deut 14:21 when i was a dub having doubts. The implication of it totally blew me away. What further impacted me was the fact that i could not find any significant comments on that scripture in any watchtower publications. It was totally sidestepped!
  
  
  That's why i believe watchtower leaders and governing body members do realise that their blood doctrine was and still is on shaky ground.
  
  
  They are personally responsible for the lives that have perished as a result of their doctrine regarding the use of blood. Their failure to acknowledge this error reveals the true nature of these heart-hearted men.

  List What You Consider "Wrong" In The Organization

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some witnesses might not really believe that they don't have "the truth".

  sure, they know about some of the past errors but they bury it because they feel everyone is imperfect and can make mistakes....but are these just simple "mistakes" or is the watchtower organization simply wrong?

  what things can you think of that show that the watchtower has a "pattern" of never getting it right---even to this day??

  There are sooo many things wrong in the organisation...
  
  The big ones for me (apart from the obvious "blood", false propheciy issues) is the fact that people in the org tend to live lives that are half lived. I've seen so many witnesses just cruising through their lives, without dreams, or ambitions, or passion. When they encounter issues, rather than take a proactive course of action, alot of them just resign themselves to the situation and say "The new system is just around the corner, my problem will be fixed then."
  
  The other thing that i think is seriously wrong with the organisation is their perception of the world. The see it as a bad and evil place. In face it's their "Us vs Them" mentality which provides the platform for the Watchtower to indoctrinate their minds with alot of the nonsense that JW's believe. People in the org really need to wake up and see that the people around in the community are not such bad and wicked people. The world is not such a nasty place after all. I believe this perception of theirs stems from a lack of real genuine love. "Love... believes all things, Hopes all things." Witnesses are too quick to write people off.

  i spent many many years peforming on the cello before becoming a witness at 18 and being encouraged to quit all my symphony associations etc which i obediently did.

  i was a soloist once with a community symphony and it was a wonderful experience!

  i have a recording of the concerto i performed.

  Wow, good to see a few cellists on here. Female cellists are so damn sexy. I defintely want to give the cello a go one day. I just love it's sounds and is one of my fave instruments. As for me, i've been playing keys and guitar for a quite a while now. Mainly into RnB and Jazz. Never got into the classical side of things (except for the odd Mozart and Chopin.) Give me Gershwin and Jobim over classical any day. DK

  Yea, it is written in the book of Cyril...
  "Thou shalt not rub thy neighbours ear lobes. If thoust members cometh into accidental contact with an ear lobe not belnging to thine own self, thou shall be unclean 30 days including public holidays or RDOs occuring in said period. Do not pass go, Do not collect 200 shekels." (Cyr 12:24)
  
  So no, sister Peaches, you can't take me ear lobe virginity, like you did to that poor innocent brother.
