I told you before, Grace, an honest though mischievous b****d deserves forgiveness.

But WHY don't they disfellowship bloodtakers ?
by aligot ripounsous inany jw knows that one of the very bad things that a christian must not do is accepting a blood transfusion.
respect for the sanctity of blood ranks highest, in jw theology, on the scale of christian standards, along with not being a murderer, an adulterer, a robber, etc.
in fact, it is the identifying feature of jws for the onlooker.

Any JW knows that one of the very bad things that a christian must not do is accepting a blood transfusion. Respect for the sanctity of blood ranks highest, in JW theology, on the scale of Christian standards, along with not being a murderer, an adulterer, a robber, etc. In fact, it is THE identifying feature of JWs for the onlooker.
Under such conditions, anyone would expect unrepentant transgressors of God's command about blood to be unequivocally banished from the congregation as serious wrongdoers in order to keep the congregation undefiled. Instead, we find that the official stand of the WTS in this matter is that transgressors of this blood command are not disfellowshipped. The WTS holds that these people cut themselves off from the congregation on a voluntary basis expressing, in doing so, their will not to be JWs anymore. This attitude was evident when the WTS took steps in order to get JWs officially recognized as a religion in Bulgaria.
We find the same official stand with those who would join the army or would openly take side with a political party.
Interestingly, in these three instances, the WTS takes this stand in matters where it could be in deep trouble with authorities if it did acknowledge openly that it excommunicates people for such acts, since it perfectly knows that in many countries that would mean incurring prosecution and getting its own financial responsibility and its leaders' personal responsibility involved, on the ground of its exercising pressure on people's minds leading to putting lives at risk, rebellion to the army and to the government and unsocial behaviour.
In the face of the marked efforts that the WTS is developing in order to placate authorities, the honest JW feels this unthinkable question creep into his mind : is the faithful and discreet slave speaking double speech ?
Could have been titled : Who really is the harlot who commits fornication with the kings of this world ?

I thought of Baha'i faith for a while but gave up the idea after I read on their site that you donate 19% of your income (couldn't find it again lately, though). Had given enough to the WTS.

As a welcome gift, Sacrebleu, here is the Ronde des Jurons (circle dance of swearwords) by Georges Brassens, the modern day french troubadour (died about 25 years ago). You will find in it swearwords ending in Bleu, which was the edulcorated form of Dieu. Quebeckers still use some of them, plus the ones of their owns. Enjoy it.
Voici la ron-
de des jurons
Qui chantaient clair, qui dansaient rond
Quand les Gaulois
De bon aloi
Du franc-parler suivaient la loi
Jurant par-là
Jurant par-ci
Jurant à langue raccourcie
Comme des grains de chapelet
Les joyeux jurons défilaient
Tous les morbleus, tous les ventrebleusLes sacrebleus et les cornegidouillesAinsi, parbleu, que les jarnibleusEt les palsambleusTous les cristis, les ventres saint-grisLes par ma barbe et les noms d'une pipe
Ainsi, pardi, que les sapristis
Et les sacristisSans oublier les jarnicotonsLes scrogneugneus et les bigr's et les bougr's
Les saperlottes, les cré nom de nom
Les pestes, et pouah,diantre, fichtre et foutreTous les Bon Dieu
Tous les vertudieuxTonnerr' de Brest et saperlipopetteAinsi, pardieu, que les jarnidieuxEt les pasquedieux
Quelle pitié
Les charretiers
Ont un langage châtié
Les harengères
Et les mégères
Ne parlent plus à la légère
Le vieux catéchisme poissard
N'a guèr' plus cours chez les hussards
Ils ont vécu, de profundis
Les joyeux jurons de jadis
Tous les morbleus, tous les ventrebleus
Les sacrebleus et les cornegidouilles
Ainsi, parbleu, que les jarnibleus
Et les palsambleus
Tous les cristis, les ventres saint-gris
Les par ma barbe et les noms d'une pipe
Ainsi, pardi, que les sapristis
Et les sacristis
Sans oublier les jarnicotons

In Scorcese's film, Joan Baez reports a conversation she'd had with Dylan, as he was writing some song words and, as she pointed out that they were not making sense, he replied something like "you're right but never mind, some people will see poetry in them." Could Dylan have been a scamer at some point in his career as he thought that about anything he could do would be revered ?

The happiest people on earth?
by nvrgnbk inmy fading brother just informed me of two jw suicides in his area within the last few weeks.. one was recently disfellowshipped.. the other was an active publisher, possibly a ministerial servant.
.
both left young children behind.. the cases appear to be unrelated.. of course suicide is nothing unique to jehovah's witnesses.. but most of us know that as a group they are no happier than any other segment of the population, quite possibly less so due to the burdens placed upon them and their paradisaic hopes that go perpetually unrealized.. .

if they are living up to all they are supposed to do and pleasing Jehovah then of course they are happy. If not...something is wrong with them.
That could be called the electric heater salesman syndrome
I once heard of a woman whom a salesman had convinced to shift from natural gas central heating to individual electric heaters. Because of the bricks which accumulate heat, he told her that her heating bill would sharply decrease. She started with a few appliances but, after a few months,she complained to the salesman that her bill was the same. His reply was conclusive : the cost was not down because she had changed only a few sets and to prove it, he suggested that she change all of them.

Last may, he performed in Paris and I took my wife along to see his show with some expectation as he had been a landmark in my teen age as with many who are now in their fifties. Very disappointing, to be honest. I had always viewed him as a folk singer and we found a noisy rock band. I hardly recognized like a rolling stone . He doesn't care in the least for the audience, no introductory words, no good bye. In my opinion he should draw to retirement, if he's still got a tiny bit of respect for his public left, but I understood from the No direction home film by Scorcese that he never had much of it.

the most interesting was the small shop that you can see on the picture next door to the assembly hall, where the girl sells leather covers for bibles and WT magazines, together with birthday cards...Mind, I don't mean she is a JW, just that she knows how to do business.
