Dear Friends,
Kerry Louderback-Wood, the author of the booklet on the 'Tort of Misrepresentation' re: JWs / blood, said that she would be grateful if she could save the life of ONE child. I am grateful that some are reading this information. The madness must stop. Replies are nice, but that doesn't really matter.

Dear Diary,
I've had my first cup of coffee, but it was yesterday's. Yuck! Gotta motivate myself to fix a fresh pot. I was wrong, DD - the Bruch piece wasn't his violin concerto, but his Scottish Fantasy. It's a real gem. I was thinking, why does Mickey Mouse get all the glory? What if Disney had used Minimus, instead in THE SORCEROR'S APPRENTICE? Just a thought. NASDAC was 2479 - from NPR, 8:00 a.m. Do you have any idea what those figures mean? The only market I do is the local grocers. Need more coffee - so cold today! Glad I don't have to scrounge around for wood any more - propane heat! Caesar Franck's Symphony in D Minor just started - one of my favorite "moody," turbulent pieces.

i got an email with an audio attachment (haven't listened to it) that's being passed around the witness community.
here's the written part of it anyway:.
i just wanted to let you know about an important piece of information i heard first hand, this morning (actually on a recording of a bethel representative giving a talk at the 2007 special day assembly in houston, tx).
Dear Nina,
Greetings to you and yours! Many of us have already said this: why are so many of us inactive ones TOTALLY ignored - through CO visits, through tract campaigns intended to reactivate such ones in service, through WT articles on loving elders who WILL HELP the lost sheep.............? I won't go back, but I'd like the option of saying, "I really appreciate your concern, but it's too late. I've converted to Christianity!
CoCo
hey, this is under jokes and humor, so don't get too offended.
i just wanted to vent about how people say things incorrectly, such as pronouncing things wrong or saying phrases wrong.
i'll start, and if you have any to add, please feel free.
Something which is not understood:
Mysterious: unknown and puzzling; curiosity is aroused
Inscrutable: cannot be investigated or searched into
Mystical: has secret meaning
Obscure: understood with difficulty, or dimly

Dear Diary,
A new day looms ahead. Jascha Heifitz is on NPR now, playing one of my fave violin concertos - Max Bruch's. So poignant. Bittersweet, like the lives of so many of us. In front of every silver lining is a dark cloud. Well, DD, you know very well I'm no pessimist. I've paid the rent, I have food to eat. I do as I please. But some of my friends and family are suffering. What can I do? Energy and time - such basic commodities, yet in shorter and shorter supply. No money to speak of. Should I just keep writing, DD? We talk so much everyday. I appreciate your silent wisdom; it speaks volumes. Is paradise really only what we make of our lives here? Jesus promised to prepare a place for us, to be where he is. This is so basic to what's in the BOOK, yet so foreign to what I've been permitted to believe most of my life. And Gill was talking about the Flood and her preacher neighbor. I never doubted the Flood but now there are so many new facts to consider. Well, new to me. I am so late to what's really happening. Where do I go from here, Dear Diary?

it's good to train a child when they're young to have diverse ideas, opinions and understandings.
it is the total opposite of what the wtbts wants from their children.
they want their children to be taught that only the wtbts is correct and everything they utter, even if total bs, is not to be questioned.. in the last four to five years i have read so much on history, prehistory, geology, religion blah de blah de blah, and in that reading i have also been non stop telling my husband and children every thing i have read and every diverse theory i have come across, so that in effect, they also have become widely read on the subject.. my youngest child goes to a church of england school, even though we are non religious and i have put that down clearly on her information form.
Greetings Gill,
Wish I had had your insights when I was raising my family. Of course, I was misinformed! For a number of reasons I am unable to say much of anything along the lines of your story. The Flood - haven't even gotten "there" yet. Seems blood is the issue of the day - am I right? Will be reading more from Gill today, I am very sure!

Dear Diary,
Just popped outa bed - about 3:15 a.m. NPR announcer, Mort Jacobson, says it's Naomi Judd's 61st B'day today. Saw Ashley in DJ last night, w/ T.L. Jones. What's gonna happen today, DD? So much on the blood issue last few days re: those 6 tiny babies. What made FF & CW do it? So many needless deaths on the word of idolized "oracle." How is that any different from the HOLY SEE of the RCC? Don't even get me started on hypocrisy, DD!
Winton Marsalis is performing a Telemann triple trumpet concerto on NPR: overdubbed performances. Get back to you later, DD. You are always here for me to talk to/you never go to sleep. But I need to. Supposed to be coldest day of the year today. "Angel of Peace" - by Siegfrid Wagner on now - about tolerance. Didn't realize R.W.'s son was a composer. Granson of Franz Liszt. Never really emerged from his father's shadow.

BTTT ---- Review of the real story behind the start of the blood ban
i find it amazing that the wtbts says that you should refuse blood, even if it could save your life.. look at the apostle paul.
he knew the injunctions of acts 15 - yet by his own admission in his letters to the corinthians admitted that he bought meat sacrificed to idols and ate it.
so would he have refused this meat if he were about to die of hunger?.
Hey Confession,
Yes, absolutely unbelievable. Some servile writer cranks out the drivel and it becomes gospel. Are both the cat AND the owner DFed? If so, DFing is akin to death. The cat's lucky - it has 8 more lives. The wretched owner is consigned to Gehenna. The pen is mightier [how about STUPIDER] than the sword. Whatever..........
