I have only recently stopped calling it "the truth".....I have replaced it with "the religion" or "that religion".......my JW relatives hate it when I refer to it in this manner, lol.

From all the info I've read both pro and con, I believe the benefits are too overwhelming to be against it. Millions of lives can be saved, therefore I am supportive of of stem cell research.

A friend of mine once owned an ol hound dog. When I would visit his house and walk up to the door the hound dog was just as loveable as can be, jumping up on me, tail wagging, barkin to let my friend know I was there. But........when I left, I had to leave in a hurry, cuz he didn't like goodbyes, he'd turn on me, growling, almost to the point of attackin me once as I narrowly escaped out of the front gate. Never did understand why he was that way and neither did my friend. Reading this thread reminded me of that hound dog, lol.

I believe they will finally officially suggest what everyones been doing all along, to start using the Watchtower and Awake mags as the official asswipe of the organization. The GB will be resolute in their decision(directed by holy spirit, of course)that all JW's must do their part to be conservative and help protect the "environment" in these last days of the last days, lol.

If they were to disfellowship ones for hittin the yak, there wouldn't be any JW's left, at least in the congo's that are in my vicinity. I personally knew one elder who would get perty juiced up before giving the sunday talk or when he read the watchtower. Others in the congo thought he had a speech impediment, but I knew better, speech impediments don't come with breath that smells like Jim Beam, or clothes that reak of urine, lol.

It's because their faith is non-existant, if they only had faith the size of a mustard grain, they could move mountains, most JW's I know have no mustard and are very scared.

Did you have a Witness approved car?
by free2beme inwhen i was a witness, i was told that a responsible witness purchased a car that was able to be used in field service.
as an example, it would have four doors to allow easy entry for a car group of 4 to 6 people.
it was something that was not to showy, meaning it was not a lexus or something that would make it seem that witnesses were materialistic, especially when working a poor part of the community.
