in 2002 we got the updated version...was it any different?
only two small changes.. 1980 - united in worship-.
'Yes ! Blood was banned. But that was during the days when screening for AIDS, hepatitis etc didn't take place. When Blood became 'safe' Jehovah no longer needed to protect his faithful servants from those diseases and so he allowed New Light to shine through to the Governing Body, and now we can safely accept blood transfusions!'
You sure got that right.
18 year old son that insists on breaking your pills?.
my son has turned "break daddy's nuts" into overdrive.. why?.
because i told him to put mirrors on his motorcycle.. two days of $hit and brimstone from him.
I leave my family for 4 months of the year, and this is when he starts his games.
he does it when you leave? Sounds like he has some issue with it.
No advice, I only have daughters, and they have never given me any serious problems......yet.
story of brinjenbysharon russell.
http://www.freeminds.org/women/brinjen.htm i was raised as a third generation jehovah's witness.
my grandmother was married to a non-believer who died when my mother was a small child.
The Elders in my congregation were unsympathetic and implied I must have deserved it.
In JW land, parents are always right and kids are always wrong.
Kids are constantly being told to respect there parents.
Parents are never told to respect their children, but they are frequently told to discipline them.
JW kids have no rights and no resources. They are forbiddon to go to anyone for help except the elders. Then the goddam elders read a goddam scripture, tell the kid to be obediant to their parents and then sends the kid back home, regardless of the home situation.
The GB are very cruel to children.
interesting article.. http://online.wsj.com/article_email/sb118903209653018615-lmyqjaxmde3oda5njawmzyywj.html.
as a single man, i also feel that it's not well seen to even talk to a child you don't know... just look ahead and don't look at them.. pretty sad world hey..... .
I worked at a retail store once and one day a regular customer and his wife came in. He was carry a large box and needed to haul it to the back of the store.
I watched him walk down the aisle and just as he got out of sight I heard a loud shriek, and a young voice screaming "he touched me inappropriately".
I and several other people swooped in, and there was the man, looking completely aghast, and he was still carrying the box in both hands. A young girl of about twelve was doing the shrieking.
The poor man was beat red. I don't know how he could have touched her with both hands full. And he didn't have time to set it down and pick it up again, he was out of my sight only a mere seconds. She said he brushed against her chest. But it was fairly obvious, that with the narrow aisle, and him having a limited view do to the big box blocking part of his vision, that he probably had brushed against the girl completely by accident. It got all sorted out, but that poor man, we never saw his face in our store again.

Just imagine, 20 or 30 years form now were all going to be here on JWD providing proof to the young and middle aged JW's that don't have a clue that the Society once banned blood.
how many currently in the org know that they once banned innoculations?
I didn't know it, never heard anyone mention it.

I think they are just going to stop talking about the blood issue.
The people who were taught to abstain from blood will eventually die off.
The next generation won't know anything about it and even deny it ever happened.
Just like 1975.
If they actually print something about the blood ban no longer being in effect, they will open themselves up to countless lawsuits.
If they just shut up about it, time will take care of it for them.
would you change anything about yourself or are you pretty content with who you are?
I'd like to be the proper height for my weight, please
Yeah me too.
But for that to happen I would have to grow a foot or two,
and at my age, I just don't see that happening.

Uh, KW.....if her waters broke, it's time to go to the hospital.
She's already there right? And your wating for a phone call?
If you plan on being present for the birth, it's time to go.
If your just waiting for the news that's it's all over and you can come see the baby, then you can wait for a call.

Congratulations, I'll keep my fingers crossed for Megan and the babe.
have any of you or people that you know such as relatives or friends, made a very significant donation to the wts?
by that i mean property, or money in excess of let's say $10 000. .
enriching an already very rich organisation has to be moronic, they are the ones that should be helping the poor among them the proverbial orphans and widows.
I had my will notarized a few months ago. I'm leaving the WTS the following:
2 aged water pipes, 7 pairs of used shoes, a half dozen rolls of toilet paper (individually wrapped), and 2 worn copies of 'On the Road'. Nothing more, nothing less. The will states that the package should be sent by express mail.

Lawrence you have inspired me.
In my will I will leave the society my entire apostate literature library.
But this is only because I know for a fact, that nobody in my family wants them..........
"Mo-oom, why do you keep all that crap?"
