i was recently chastised here for saying that i respected my wife's steadfast loyalty to her god.
suppose you were a medical assistant and your doctor/supervisor told you to hang blood on a witness patient?
zero respect?.
Adults, no I wouldn't force it. I'd honor their wishes, but if possible I'd sure try to present some info that might change their minds.
Children, well, I don't have any. But I agree, if blood is nec., hospitals should go to court if nec. to save a kid's life.
hey everyone.
so i left the old company behind, the one that wasn't paying me.
they still owe me a little bit of money but have them on record and signed documentation that i'll receive payment by the close of this month.
bttt again
Has anyone been in touch with LouBelle?

[endif]i was just sent the article "creation declares the glory of god!
i think it might contain the stupidest paragraph i have ever read:.
"Since “God is a Spirit,” he simply cannot be subjected to direct scientific scrutiny."
Therefore God is "mere theory or guesswork." God by this definition is indistiguoshable from something that does not exist.
Haha -- good point!
i've been trying to avoid posting this, due to extreme paranoia but its time to post my story.
i hope to not post too many details, as we've avoided being df so far, our group elder was young and lovely and cool and i just hope that in time he learns the ttatt.. i'm a regular lurker on here, occasional poster (i can't post much as my phone browser only lets me read but not post, so i only post on the odd occasion i get a time alone on the pc).
i have been fading since round about last september ( so almost my first anniversary of learning ttatt).
What a tough thing to deal with -- I'm glad you and your husband can hang in there together and love those sweet children.

I don't think LouBelle has posted in the last month -- are you OK, LB?
alshello.
i'm a practicing jw.
finally decided to create an account to see whether you could all help me.. so i am engaged to this wonderful wonderful man and in three months time we'll be married.
A much larger issue, with greater long-term effects, is that you are starting to have doubts about JWs and he isn't.
I agree. If your fiancee is eaten up with guilt and you are having doubts about the wtbts, I'd say you're safer postponing the wedding until you can talk the truth to each other without running to the elders.
But, it's your business.
able bodied jehovah's witnesses in time of war will not only refuse service in the military but--unlike many other pacifist non-combatant.
denominations, jw's will also refuse civilian service legally provided for conscientious objectors.. .
that leaves the members of all other denominations to give up their lives for their fellow man or to do humanitarian service in hospitals.. .
Yeah, they liked a good fight back then. They actually caused trouble just so they could "anticipate" an attack and get ready for it. Then they turned all wimpy during WWII and subsequent wars. Where are the good pistol-packing JWs of decades past, I ask. Remember reading about one convention where they expected trouble and issued all the attendants a roll of nickels (brass knuckles being illegal) and a cane? Those were the days, all right.
i just had a bowl of ice cream - chocolate trinity.
it was heavenly.
earlier, i had a perfectly ripe summer plum.
my favorite summer treats:
bacon, lettuce, tomato sandwich on toasted sourdough bread
tomato salad
potato salad
and, yes, ice cream
she looks so stiff and old next to taylor swift.
geriatric singer/songwriter.
nice to see them sing the song together, though.
thanks, Tal!

how funny that this thread made it to two pages. I like the puns, btw. Never much liked Carly Simon, but don't have anything against her. Just thought it was a cruel juxtaposition -- crazily dressed Carly with stiff kneeds and hunched posture trying to do some of her old moves next to a young woman who is still fluid and graceful, even if scantily dressed.
You're So Vain is one of the great rock songs, it's true.
