I feel that carrying a blood donor card should clear up any misconceptions about my current beliefs.

New Light - Doctor's Notes
by lawrence inwith the new 3-fold meeting schedule, the faithless dictators will announce shortly in the km the following:.
any appointed brother (including microphone holders) will be required to produce a doctor's note if 2 days' sets of meetings are missed back-to-back.
if a note is not provided, then the brother will have his privileges yanked.. forged notes will result in a jc.. so much for the "freedom of the sons of god.".

The PNP will have received 33 credits of course work designed for the Nurse Practitioner. Prior Masters level courses in required content areas may be evaluated for transfer credit.
But college makes a person unspiritual and weak. Can they really trust someone who went to so much college??

Feburary 15, 2009 Watchtower Study Edition
by bronzefist inhttp://www.sendspace.com/file/2bs4od.
once again a heavy on jesus issue, because the memorial is approaching.
the "fds" also want blondie to calm down because she's always bringing up the lack of jesus being mentioned in the majority of the issues.. the picture of the 125th gilead graduation on page 23 caught my eye thanks to jwd.

"They keep following the Lamb"- interesting name for the article. Since there are about 2 paragraphs about the lamb and the rest of the article is about following the Faithful and Discreet Slave- not the Lamb.
The logic appears to be- Jehovah and Jesus trust them, so should you.
What? Seems ass backwards to me. Aren't they supposed to trust Jehovah and the Lamb- not vice versa???

When my little one was about 3 or 4 and was in preschool (and I was a well indoctrinated dub), on Christmas Day he asked if he was going to "school" that day. I said, "No- its Christmas Day" With a panicked look he told me, "What?!! Hurry, we have to put up a tree so that Santa will come and give us toys!" To which, I, as a good dubbie explained that there was no such thing as Santa, and that we didn't celebrate Christmas.
And in one moment, I destroyed his fantasy world and innocence.
Now- fast forward 6 years... last night we had a great Christmas eve. Complete with tree, and party, and egg nog, and lots of presents this morning. He got real spoiled with presents and we all feel like this is our first real Christmas. (Although any hope of magic or belief in something besides me buying stuff is long gone.)
But I remember still how I crushed his imaginary world a few years ago. And it crushes me.
Happy Christmas everyone.
May you find peace and freedom

by keyser soze ina skit on saturday night live, poking fun at visually-impaired ny governor david paterson has stirred up a lot of controversy.
was it good comedy or bad taste?
you be the judge:.

I saw it and thought at the time that it was a bit insensitive.
But after all- that's SNL's specialty - it would be prime time if it wasn't insensitive.

Is it worse to lie about Santa Claus or...
by JimmyPage in... to lie about the generation of 1914 not passing away until the events of mt.
24 are fulfilled?
which causes more damage?

Heres a bit of a twisted reply:
I was a quite zealous JW when my child was born, so he understood from the time he was 3 that there was no such thing as Santa Claus. This tended to make him skeptical of any proposed supernatural being- including Superman, God, Darth Vader, and Jesus. I regret robbing him of childhood (excitement over getting presents from S.C.) but if this gave him a healthy skepticism- then it is all the better.

What is Festivus?
Congac- my suggestion is to go to a friend or relatives house (who celebrates) so it is ackward not to participate. Also, he doesn't have to do the work (physical and emotional- fighting all of the programming) of buying a tree, decorating, etc. He can participate in the holiday and still deny it. (Worked for me.)

Have I ever said that you guys are awesome!!! I knew that I would get more good info here than anywhere else. (and I don't have to explain why I've never had a tree and I'm 37 years old!!)
Merry Christmas everyone! (I would say Happy Holidays- but I figured we are not real sensitive on this board about Hannakah celebrating.)
(I'm totally excited about my first tree!!!)

Hello everyone.
As a complete Christmas newbie, I'm looking for advice on the selection, decorating, care for, and disposal of a christmas tree. I plan on having the first one in my life this year. I want to buy a real tree (for the scent, and the authenticity of it). Can you all give me some advice on how to select, set up, care for, decorate and then dispose of a tree?
Thank you in advance.
