last night at meeting they told us to just use our blood cards from last year.
in the past they've always told us how important it was to get it signed every year so that people could see our current views as jw's.....doesn't this new arangement negate everything they've ever said in regards to this?
absolutely nuts!.
my wife and I have discussed this issue at length many, many times, and we really haven't reached a firm conclusion yet. One thing we are considering, once we get settled in Seattle next month, is donating our own blood and storing it in case of an emergency or something...but we aren't completely sure yet.

do you remember the excitement of a brand new box of crayola crayons?
running your fingers over the perfectly sharp tips, none broken or peeled.
all 96 colors like flesh (now peach), indian red (now chestnut), periwinkle, goldenrod, green blue (now retired),lemon yellow (now retired), and new colors you may not know about such as macaroni and cheese, purple mountain's majesty, granny smith apple, and pig pink.
i'm gonna have to hope that my wife doesn't see this post....we are trying to wait 5 years before we start having kids...hahaha

you've confirmed what i had thought OldHippie....last night they kept going on "within the United States" and "the liason committee within the United States"....doesn't surprise me. I'm not sure why its only within the US though.

basically it means that they lie to advance the WTS's agenda

maybe you knew this...i didnt:.
want to send this story to another aol member?
click on the heart at the top of this window.. ore. slay suspect known as con man.
there is no evidence that anything to do with religion was the reason these things happened. there are bad people w/ in the JW's and good people. there are bad people who aren't JW's and good people.

first i would like to make an apology to bill for my questioning his motives.
i do not have enough evidence to make a claim on this point.
i allowed emotion to weigh into this statement rather than clear thinking.. i will stand by my questioning of some of his judgements regarding disclosure of information and how it was presented, although i will temper that by saying that again i am working on limited data.. i try very hard to keep things from getting personal when i disagree with someone's ideas, feeling or thoughts.. in reviewing my posts to him i have determined that i failed to do that on this issue.. joel
i respect your opinions joelbear although i don't agree with all of them.
i noticed in a couple of threads people discussing the impact this board would have on jw's with doubts coming here and reading the messages.
it got me to wondering where most people that post here were at...what stage in their jw/ex jw process...when they started reading and/or posting here.
also curious, when you did come here what was your main focus?
active JW when I first came on, but i've had doubts for years...I used to post on H2O as "disko". I'm still an active JW although I don't go out in service anymore. Starting the slow fade next month...

is it common knowledge amongst the jw's about the wt being an ngo that was linked to the united nations?.
or is this information just in the hands of a few elders?
i'm intrigued as to whether this information about the un has begun to trickle through to the r & f yet, and i'm also wondering if publishers will have a ready made answer (other than a library ticket)should they be confronted with this objection during the door to door work.. englishman.. bring on the dancing girls!
my mom laughed at me when I told her about it yesterday. i told her to call the UN and she said she wouldn't believe them. so i told her to call her circuit overseer or call the WTS. we'll see what happens. it is a total cover up.

okay fess up: whats your handle mean?.
my handle: mindchild comes from computer scientist and futurist dr. hans moravec: who wrote the book, the future of robot and human intelligence which is a book about when we will be able to construct machines capable of human intelligence and raises the possibility of uploading ourselves (every thought we ever had) into an android body much superior to the human ones we have now.
i entertain the hope that not only will i live long enough to see this happen, i will transfer myself (the complete essence of what is me) into a body of my own choosing and become immortal if i so choose.
A reference to a character in A Clockwork Orange as well as my feeling towards "the truth"
