yesterday something happened that really pissed me off.

i was walking out of a store that has two doors you have to walk through... the inner door and the outer door.

basically a small foyer.. as i'm going through the inner door i notice a woman is behind be so i go on through and hold the door for her... she went right on through without a word and then went through the outer door, pushed it open and then let it fly back into my face.

to believe the watchtower story takes a high degree of arrogance.

to think you were so special that god drew you to his organization for salvation.

but 6 billion other humans deserve destruction, is placing huge value on your own importance.. if you converted to being a jw do you think you were sucked in because you did not know the full story (ignorance) or was it because you really wanted to believe you were more special than everyone else (arrogance)?

by Terry in

turning a life affirming rule into a death-dealing policy is an amazing accomplishment.

we can thank the watchtower society for a mindset which makes this possible.. i've gone into great detail before about the watchtower blood policy itself.

it is a blatant and deliberate publicity stunt which takes the rather simple prohibitions of the laws of noah for gentiles on murder .

it is in my nature to expect everyone to act in the best interests of everyone else.

talk about a dysfunctional family life.... did anyone else experience growing up in a dub family that had a double standard for siblings?.

my younger sister was allowed too: have new kids on the block posters on her wall, as well as gotten taken to a nkotb concert... have & play a keyboard.

pick her own music, & have a boom box in her room.
