  Having Sex With a Hot Sister

  i was hoping that title would draw you in!

  i was just thinking this morning about a lot of the judicial meetings i was in over the years.

  i was remembering how, if it involved immorality and a good looking sister, it would not be unusual for one of the elders to comment on that.

  Defining God and Atheism

  by DT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm a nontheist, atheist and agnostic.

  i guess i like the term nontheist best, even though it basically means the same as atheist.

  to me, nontheist simply says what i am not, while atheist has come to represent what someone is, at least in the minds of some people.

  Proof WBTS is downgrading 1914

  by yesidid in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  maybe they're keeping the doctrine but they are not writing about it as much in the watchtower.. below are statistics from their 07 cd showing how many times 1914 was mentioned in the watchtower for each year 1950 to 2006 .

  i have divided the years 1950 2006 into segments of eight excepting for the last, which is nine.. on the side i have the average for those years.

  notice they have gone from 88.87 a year to 24.44. .

  Would you support a witness who was refusing a transfusion?

  by Caedes in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i was thinking about what i would do if a family member was in the situation of refusing a blood transfusion.

  if the doctors were trying to force them to accept a transfusion, would i support my family members right to choose or would i take the position that they are brainwashed and are incapable of making a rational choice on the matter?

  does the fact that they are hopelessly ill informed take away from their right to make a choice that they know will kill them?
