this from elder book is just plain wrong

by booby in

willingly and unrepentantiy taking blood.if someone willingly takes blood, perhaps because of being under extreme pressure, the committee should obtain the facts and determine the individual's attitude.

if he is repentant, the committee would provide spiritual assistance in the spirit of galatians 6:1 and jude 22,23. since he is spiritually weak, he would not qualify for special privileges for a period of time, and it may be necessary to remove certain basic privileges.

depending on the circumstances.

Considering HIPPA, they're playing with fire on that sort of thing.

i've been watching my alcohol intake for dietary reasons.

i've been limiting my consumption to a small half glass of vodka, or a shot or two of bourbon.

alcohol just doesn't do well with the gains i want to make working out.

I've been watching my alcohol intake for dietary reasons. I've been limiting my consumption to a small half glass of Vodka, or a shot or two of Bourbon. Alcohol just doesn't do well with the gains I want to make working out. It contributes to sugar and fat, which I want to avoid for another month or so. As a result I've been fiending for a beer in the worst way. Where I work, there are plenty of places one can go to during lunch hours to get a drink. Every now and then I flirt with stopping somewhere and drinking a Heineken or two. Is this acceptable to do so during lunch hours in the work week? A little over a decade ago I was working at a plant, and our boss treated us to a lunch at a tavern. There was a half dozen or so of us. Everyone minus myself, got beers. I was underage for one thing, plus the JW background was kicking in. There was another dude who was underage too, matter fact the boss' son. He ordered a beer too! I felt like a lame for doing that back then, but after a good decade of being legal and drinking my fair share I've since forgotten about that.

Again, is it socially and even professionally acceptable to drink a beer or two during lunch hours?

Questions From Readers - October 20th, 2010

why are jehovah's witnesses as a whole not permitted to read the elder's manual?.

on the first day of the unfermented cakes, well before his arrest and sacrificial death, jesus christ instructed his disciples on how to prepare for the passover.

when he did so, he did not provide advance, detailed instructions for all of his disciples; instead, he dispatched only two of them to find a suitable location, which he evidently had already planned with the householder.

SD you nailed that! Wow, I'm speachless. There's a weirdo JW downstairs from where I work, and I'm so tempted to edit the heading and make it seem legit, and then let her borrow it just for comedic value. If I wasn't so concerned that it would spread like gangrene and could possibly get back to me, I'd do it. I can't believe how you've perfected their writing style. Crazy!

Even with that last catch for the final out you could tell Texas just wasn't going to be denied tonight. I don't see the Yankees having the heart to come back now. Its over. I'm rooting for Philly now.

Another home run!!!! Hearing Ernie go, "The Rangers are in double digits." I like Ernie Johnson too, but I'd like to knock his teeth out right now. Look at all those Yankee fans going home, like I'm about to go to bed.

KS10-Chapter Seven Discussion

by yknot in

chapter 7 from 'shepherding the flock of god' published by the wts of penn/ny is part of their worldwide bible educational work.

the wts is a non-profit whose publications are not for sale but are freely given to those who show 'genuine' interest..... while not required, a donation is always joyfully accepted .

while admittedly my feelings were hurt by "the boys" yanking my 4shared files.. anywho.... the other part of my brain says 'it ain't personal' and just a game.....hey yall get out of 'whatever' your normal task is right!!
