  wouldn't it be nice if the writers for the society would go on strike and say they are tired of writing lies for the "governing body"?

  Twinkies...they are so full of preservatives!! LOL!

  I guess I don't like the idea of people eating dogs....and I would be very upset if someone tried to feed me dog meat or any kind of insects, worms, grubs, well...there are a-lot I guess.

  I am going to attempt to make this "low-fat" by useing egg beaters, fat free sour cream, and no crust....Like a custard instead of a pie. It sounds like there is enough flavor in it that the "fat" won't be too missed! I think I will try to do that BEFORE Thanksgiving though.....so if it is not great, I can make the regular version for guests.

  On the flip side....I know it wasn't required for the "sisters" to have long hair, but...it was "smiled upon" in some of the halls I have been to. And, the WTBTS always pictures Eve (the perfect woman) with long glorious hair. So, as a witless, I always tried to have mine long. My hair doesn't grow that great, so when I left I got a short sassy hair cut, and have had it on the short side since.

  I spoke to a member of the HLC for 2 hours on Saturday.......

  by fifi40 in

  i mentioned on a recent post about an elder who had asked to visit with me on saturday...........he was a friend of my dad's for years.

  so he came on saturday morning and we spoke for several hours in a pleasant and friendly manner but discussing a lot of jw related subjects.. so in light of the recent death of a young jw mum i thought i would share with you all some of the comments made by this elder who is one of 5 elders on the hlc for our area.. he was quite proud of the work he does helping both jws facing the situation of blood transfusion and his dealing with the medical staff involved.

  i told him i would have a blood transfusion now if it was deemed necessary and that i would battle for my son to have one, who is nearly 15, despite the fact that his father has bought him as a jw.

  I am glad your visit with him went well, and you got to make some solid points that may help him to re-examine what he is doing. It is so weird to me that "we" can see things crystal clear, while "they" are so blinded by the Watchtower. I think what you said about taking steps back and then looking at it makes a world of sense.

  I cannot imagine the grief and pain the family is going through right now....and if the family ever gets out of the mind numbing cult, do they not have every right to be "angry apostates"? The WTBTS takes takes takes so much from it's followers. It breaks my heart.
