i was doing some thinking this morning about my mother, when she said she wanted to "work on our bond" over a pizza, and i pretty much didn't bother with the offer.
i was thinking about how i'd confronted her before my boy was born about all the physical abuse which she denied.
i started thinking back to that time in my life, when i would shake uncontrollably thinking about school, let alone actually going to school.

is it the law in england for elders to report child sex abuse to the police ?
i think teachers and others in a position of trust have to .
if not i dont understand why the elders themselves dont think it is wrong, if a brother confesed to the elders that he had murdered someone would they report that to the police ?
they will use the old 2 or 3 witnesses crap
looking at the questions to go over for the blood video, it looks like and i have heard in the past how the wts expounds about the medical positives of not taking blood, and rails against blood for all the problems, diseases, and the fact that it does not always work........... the real question is....... why do they even waste time on that if the issue is supposed to be a biblical/scriptural restriction.?.
even if taking blood was the best thing in the world for you , the wts stance is that the bible and jehovah forbid it, end of story.
there is really no need to try to convince people who want to supposedly follow jehovah's command to abstain from blood.
to mess with people's heads, they have built their stand on the sand not solid ground when it comes to fractions etc
hey, im currently going through a custody battle with my little daughter and want to know a list of all medications that contain a blood fragment or fraction at all.
my husband has put on his medical directive that he is against all, even the concience ones, so i will be able to use this information to help prove he would not give her adequate care if she ever needed any of those medications.
if anyone wants to go above and beyond, it would also be very very nice to know what conditions/illnesses need to be treated with these types of meds.
if he really is against all, then all anti-toxins and serums are out, every antibody for any innoculation is obtained from the "MISUSE" of blood according to them
anybody believe these places are just modern day monasteries with all their inherent problems of cooping up a bunch of folks who aint supposed to think about sex

hey yall, i'm looking to see what book/books that show the rapid decline of jw membership, cause of the failed 75 prediction.
i've read from different internet sources it was around 800,000 from the mid 70's to 1980. is there a particular jw book i can find this in?
maybe i could compare the mid 70's yearbooks?
also rapid decline after 1996
according to one of my relatives, the co said, on a recent visit, that the offer of "everlasting life" will be brief and to the point.. when street witnessing, if people refuse, do not chase them.
in the door to door work, if someone is not interested, do not persist, just leave.. according to my relative, these changes really show "how close to the end we really are".. why is it that every change is interpreted as "this change shows how close to the end we really are"?.
i have come to realize that the wts are masters at jerking people around, and i really hate it!.
i'm very fond of them, i'm very fond of them but they go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on............................

the bible says in matthew 7:13:
"go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; 14 whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.

never thot of it like that before
