So, um, your uber elder cousin knows what a doobie is, right?
in the congregation that i grew up in there were about 30 children under 16 (myself included).
as time went on they one by one slipped away from the meetings and most never got baptized.
of those 30 children only myself and two other girls stayed and got baptized.

This religion will cease to exist in my immediate family, once my Dad passes away. Not only did their kids (me and my brothers) not get baptized, neither did any of the grandkids. Yessssss!
the message would appear to be that jehovah needs money more than that old lady needs food:.

Health Problems: my Father can't even stay awake long enough to eat his meals let alone listen to Botchtower's clap trap. I control his money now. Botchtower has received nothing since that happened. And they will never receive any more. They were into him for 10's of thousands of dollars. NO MORE!
would i?
i wouldn't mind if he slept through eternity (he sleeps most of the time anyway).
i'd just like to be able to move him around occasionally.
Unfortunately, your cat is going to die before the JW version of Paradise Earth arrives. If you truly want your cat around for all eternity, follow berrygerry's advice.
yes my holy anionted mom who has cancer is concerned that the loving god jehovah may ask her in heaven to destroy here non believer family including her 5 year old grandchild during armagedon....how messed up are these crazy people!!?

a recent o.p origins of the universe bought home to me with ovbious clarity that i have no scientific background.
this realization was rather embarrassing for myself to admit, particularly as my child of 11 has began asking some rather intersting questions on scientific matters.
anyway i have subscribed to " scientific america" because i find it a great magazine for those with no scientific background.
YouTube also has a lot of good Science videos. The original "Cosmos" with Carl Sagan can be found there. Also check out James Burke's "Connections" series.
Edited to add: Even as an adult I also enjoyed the children's Science shows "Beakman's World" and "Bill Nye the Science Guy".
If I recall correctly, Farkel told us once he had COPD. That is not a pleasant condition to live with. It is chronic and progressive. I know because my Mom had it and died from it.
this is a report about the successful implementation of the patientbloodmanagent in germany and prof. zacharowski as well as the business trip of his life with shocking facts about transfusions in his bag.. http://screenart.tv/portfolio/gefaehrliche-bluttransfusionen.
this year 2016 president obama and vice biden awarded german physicians prof. kai zacharowski with humanitarian award for patient safety.
the patient safety movement foundation set the goal to massively reduce the number of preventable deaths of hospital patients worldwide by 2020.
Religion, which is based on mythology, needs to stay out of peoples' bedrooms and medical treatments.
i have far too many to name, however, i have noticed obscene music, cussing, lying and secretive gambling to name a few.
thoughts?.
A guy in my parent's previous congregation raped his daughter repeatedly while she was growing up. He is still a JW in good standing.
a little background, both my parents are from very large families ( i have over 70 first cousins).
so i have always felt very fortunate to have something to do with my wordly family maybe twice a year to spend a few days with my grandparents on my fathers side, who are the two most wonderful people i have known ( grandad is a devout roman catholic) grandma i honestly don't think gives a shit lol.
as you could guess my sister and little brother blame association like this as good reasons why i never went with the organisation.
Jason said: yeh I was. I was also lucky not to have gotten baptised.
Yes! This is key. I cannot stress enough the importance of remaining UNBAPTIZED . NEVER get baptized into this religion. E-V-E-R!
Me and my brothers were never baptized so the Borg had no real stance/power to say our parents should be shunning us. The Borg did try to get them to 'kick their unbelieving family to the curb'. But blood is thicker than religious hurtful clap-trap. At times, our parents didn't treat us nicely, but at least we weren't 100% shunned.
