  Can we pick Jesus? He would make an awesome QB. Plus we wouldn't have to subject him to random drug testing.

  Donating Blood

  okay, so i am guessing this has been posted in the past, but not recently.. after removing myself from the influence of the org, i wanted to do something different to symbolize drift.

  i am thinking about donating blood.

  the reason is not just symbolic, but i heard it can save up to like 25 lives.

  Theocratic Lurker spies

  by vikesgirl101 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have read a few threads that speak of lurking spies for the jw that watch this website.

  is this true?

  i really don't have a problem with that, but to me it appears entirely sacreligious from what they preach.

  For me it shows how sneaky and double sided some of these people can be. They can DF me, I could care less. I welcome it. But I have heard that the elders here in my town are notorious for following faders to see what they are up to. I think stalking is unethical under ANY circumstance. I know this cong isn't the only one that has done that. I talked to an ex JW last week from this forum, and she said they followed her too. She is in another time zone than me. That is creepy. But when or if they come on here to catch someone, they aren't following their own advice.

  "Playing Chess is evil, not for Witnesses" -Awake 1973

  awake 73 3/22 p.12 "....the spirit of competition between players can lead to unpleasant circumstances, as the new york times reported: most families manage to keep the conflicts that arise in games to the chess board.

  but in some homes tensions linger long past checkmate.

  chess has been a game of war since it was originated 1,400 years ago....the games connections with war are obvious...a play-substitute for the art of war.

  I am excited to donate blood. I know I put down that it was part of my drift from the org, but it is actually my departure that I want to celebrate. For awhile I wanted to get a tattoo. Well now that just sounds like fun, but is it beneficial to anyone? I love the thought of philantropy and benevolence for mankind. To me donating blood saves more lives than knocking on doors. I know it sounds like my mind is made up, but I like to take in all facets to an issue before I commit. Obviously I would not bounce this issue off from a JW, but I would love to hear from some of you who have been there, and done that. If there is a reason not to donate that I am overlooking, I would love to hear it.

  Thanks for your thoughts! :)

  I can't imagine doing THAT in my wildest dreams.....

  by AK - Jeff in

  2. experiences

  putting on a three piece suit to spend a 90 degree summer day knocking on doors and trespassing!dragging an entire family, including babies and young children to three or four day meetings in an outdoor stadium, living in a seedy motel room for the week.getting home from work and spending the next six hours cramming for a 'theocratic review', getting the entire family ready to go, gulping down dinner, and speeding off to the hall, and then finally getting home around 11 pm, hurrying off to bed so that everyone could get up for work and school in the morning!going to school to explain to the teachers why little johnny can't color pictures of santa, salute the flag of his country, eat birthday cake with all the other 5 year olds, bow his head when prayer is offered, or exchange valentines with all the cute 5 year old girls in class.

  and then explaining with grace why he is not immersed in a cult!well, on and on!

  these things were typical of my witness life - now i cannot imagine ever doing such silly things, and especially thinking that somehow they would bring pleasure to my god!.

  i just read on the accesshollywood website that michael jackson wanted his kids to be raised by his mother if anything happened to him.

  those poor children will now have to endure an even more bizarre and f***ed up chilhood than before.

  i feel bad for them.

I am not asking you if I should do it, I want to know how you feel about donating blood after you drifted from the org, and why. Thanks. I will make an informed decision.

  My dad used to refer to this article when B1tch!ng about another elder. He felt that the bro was defying the org. Didn't they link chess to military strategies or something? So if a Christian was to claim to be neutral, he could not partake in chess. I believe this is a case of so anywho.......

  What about the scripture that talks about removing the rafter from your own eye instead of trying to extract the straw from your own? Isn't there also a scrip about being a stickler like a Pharisee? At what point are you just a Pharisee dissecting pointless activities??
