New ex-JW memoir coming out...
by brizzzy ini don't post a ton here because i'm kinda shy.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/0373892357?tag=thegirsguitoh-20&camp=14573&creative=327641&linkcode=as1&creativeasin=0373892357&adid=038ez4bjpam7bcsze5mq&.
that's the amazon link (which is currently the most affordable, i believe, but it's also available for preorder at b&n, borders, indiebound, and indigo-chapters if you're in canada, if you prefer one of those retailers).. .

What Was Meant By 'Abstain From Blood'?
by headisspinning ini have always been very hardcore about my aversion to blood and have never even considered the possibility that this was merely a dietary restriction.
i always bought into the analogy of a doctor telling a patient to abstain from alcohol... it wouldn't matter whether this individual drank the alcohol or took it intravenously... it would all be in direct contradiction to the doctor's orders to 'abstain' from alcohol.. or the other analogy is to an apple pie... if you weren't to eat the pie, it would not be okay to separate it out into the main parts (or 'components)... ie.
the flour, the apples, the sugar or the cinnamon... if they were taken from that pie, you were eating the pie.. so maybe you can see where the questions popped up for me.

What other possibilities outside of diet and sacrifice, would blood have been part of the mix?

Plus sweaters look good on women I've noticed. The fabric highlights a woman's curves. Personally as a man, I hate sweaters, particularly turtle knecks. My one homie wears turtle necks, and he looks good in them. So I went shopping one weekend and tried a couple on, I felt like I was in the gallows. Too restrictive. I'll stick to white tees, and golf shirts, and the occasional Geoffrey Beene.

I'm making a sweater dress (bet it doesn't turn out) and will wear leggings under it.
It's very short and leggings will be perfect.
, but you're in Greenland...... and I'm in the US......
Have to say that sounds pretty friggin hot, if I do say so myself. I've noticed that leg warmers have come back, and I have to admit they look sexy on women. I can see what the big deal was about that big nosed chick in that movie with the guy from Roadhouse. You know, they were dancing on wooden floors or something?

It was not modest when we did cartwheels at recess or sat up on the monkey bars, over the boys. They probably could see our underpants, though they didn't say anything. When we moved to Atlanta in 1970, we got to wear pants. Then came the witnesses, grrrrrrrrr.
Considering old school perverts, I wonder how much intention was at play when it came to school girls being mandated to wear those little skirts? Even to this day, the school girl fantasy is spoken of out in the open like its normal or something.

One of the ladies repeated this no less than 3 times. I was pointing out false predictions, and other changes in the organization, even changes relating to things that lost people their lives. Her analogy was - think back to when you were five years old. Did you believe things then, you don't believe any more now? Did you do things you don't do any more, like play in the dirt? I responded each time she said this - i'm not talking about a child. I'm talking about an organization that makes the incredible claim of being GOd's one channel of truth on earth, God's only organization, His spokesman on how to interpret the Bible, etc. I made no such claim as a child. I did not go around proclaiming lies world-wide in Jehovahs name! Do you see the difference?
There's really no way to come back on that sort of thing. To even respond at that point only makes the WT look bad. When you think about it, organ transplants were likened to cannibalism at one point! Friggin cannibalism!! Like Night of the Living Dead or something, its ludicrous!!! And you wan't me to believe this is God's chosen organization? Who's on dust at that point?

I work in an office enviroment, and the difference between women I work with, and sisters at the conventions or meetings is very telling. Its one of the things that I find more attractive in worldly gals. They're so much more sophisticated and elegant. Not to mention confident, and dynamic which is a huge turn-on for me. Occasionally I come across JW women just as sophisticated, but the key word there is......occasionally.
Another thing is women look good in pant suits. Very fashionable. It's retarded that JW women are viewed negatively for wearing slacks in field service or at meetings. Right now I'm thinking about a handful of older sisters in my congregation, and they wear dresses that look like dish rags, or table cloths. I'm tempted to go, "hey sister, don't you go anywhere! It's our turn to clean tonight, and I could sure use your blouse to dust! Also, if you don't mind, we have to feed the speaker this Sunday. It'd be a privilege to use your floral skirt for a table cloth!"

Channels Turn Foul as they Ebb
by Marie B. Paraison inthe watchtower channel is ebbing.
one sister told me that the change in the number of meeting days from three days to two days is because of a shortage of funds needed to pay for utilities.
in this economy and the waning of finances the kingdom hall attendees can look forward to meeting once a week in the future.. .

Another thing you mentioned about pioneers and dropping the hours. My personal opinion is that the reasoning behind this was simply to distract the average publisher. You should see some of the lemmings in my congregation, all googly eyed like, "its only 30 hours now!! For one month only!!" Reminds me of the infomercials that come on late at night that border on soft core porn, like the Shake Weight. "Call now, for a limited time only, well give you the Shake Weight for $19.95 along with Butt Strut for half off! Only in the month of April!!" The men are too busy looking at the hot woman on the screen with a phallic excercise device bouncing back and forth just underneath her chin. Just like that he's hooked, and he may even convince his slightly chunky wife that this device is just what she needs to lose post kid #2 fat around her hips. Did they fall for the Okey-Doke? Of course!! Its the same with this "special month of activity." Simply a distraction, enough to give the Writing Department something to write about, enough to keep JWs busy during the Memorial Season, and it increases the possibility that the JWs will come across some despondent, emotionally vulnerable, social misfit who would be prime material for a new convert. Thats my take anyway.
