  The Society's more permissive stance on blood fractions could kill my Mum!

  we had my mum and dad down for a meal at the weekend.

  me and mum have a kind of 'unspoken truce' going on where neither of us raise an issue in conversation that will lead to a discussion on any jw sensitive topics.

  it's not perfect and it doesn't always work but at least we are maintaining a relationship of sorts.. anyway, knowing that this is the 'blood card' time of year i did take the chance on asking mum just what her personal stand on blood and fractions would be.

  It is banned, but not officialy. It's grey therefore tainted hence the idea is you want to stay as clean as possible. So the R&F were supposed to get it, and stay away from grey issues. But, the R&F doesn't care about grey issues they just care about living or dying. Hence the problem it looks like they have a double standard when in reality in order to get the heat off on the BORG. They the said it is a grey issue Hence a personal choise. Thinking that the R&F would stay away from something sorta bad, and things continue as normal.

  To put it simple, They tried tricking the everyone into thinking they OKed but put into word to trigger group think of the R&F into staying away from it anyway. Then it backfired in their face.

  I remeber an older sister saying something on the factions. There is no grey area so the factions are suedo banned anyway. It' just no one in the R&F caught on.

  How Often Do You Pray?

  by Anitar in

  i know this might sound silly, but one of the most annoying things i find about my mom being a jw is how often she prays.

  normally, i would never criticize someone for praying to god, but she prays in such a way that makes me angry for some reason.

  let me explain:.

  How the Society can almost drop 1914 and STILL retain their authority

  by yaddayadda in

  they can have the best of both worlds.

  it would be quite easy, with a bit of imagination, for them to simply adopt an interpretation of scripture similar to the seventh day adventists belief about 1843. the sda's teach that since 1843 jesus has been engaged in an 'investigative judgment' upon christendom, having entered into the 'inner sanctuary' of heaven (or something to that effect) on that date to receive special authority to do that.

  jesus since then has used the sda's as his favoured group of christians.

  was there a knot pecking order at your hall, or was this not the case.

  (pardon the pun) http://www.tie-a-tie.net/ ugh and if anyone has more coherent directions for tying a windsor knot i'm all ears my piddly little fudged knot is the laughing stock of work.

  I used clip ons most of the time. Now the normal way when I don't use a clipon.

  Yes thier is a good tie tied right does put you up higher. Atleast where I live. Clipons are what newbs, slackers, faders, and, or apostates wear.( We know better of course )
