troubled mind;
My deepest thoughts, sympathies go with you, your son, and family. I hope your son has a speedy recovery and puts this behind him. Boy, I can't imagine how stressful this must be for both you and especially your son.
The lack of natural affection from some people does not at all surprise me. What can you expect from JW's.
Happy Easter Weekend.
according to the jdub talk forum, the memorial attendance this year was pretty high.
my opinion is that it is a turmoiled year so some people seek refuge in religion.
they think it was because of their "increased activity" and i guess so does the gb think too.
geez, no kidding. I noticed someone mentioned earlier or on a different thread. But you would think you were at the Grammys or Oscars the way some of those girls were dressed. Six-inch high heels, all kinds of jewelry, make-up just plastered on. One might think that it was an audition for a modelling contest, wow.
was sing the national anthem out loud......alone......in my house.
what did you do?.
morbidzbaby '' I basically just starting living..'' LOL
do you fear armageddon as a child?
me personally not so much, then 9/11 happend and things started to change and i started getting scared of it.
how about you?
wow, what images. it's criminial that a child has to be subject to such images, pictures. yes, I remember that book, or other books of its kind. maybe that's why i'm so fucked-up.
a brother called me to ask who was delivering the talk at our hall.
i didn't know what he was talking about.
he then explained to me that this week, for the local needs, congregations across the us will have a brother deliver a special outline on blood transfusions.. .

I really can't see them dropping the blood doctrine, ever. Can you just imagine the massive lawsuits? The fallout would be tremendous. Probably even a revolution. On the other hand, what may happen is that the blood doctrine may be dropped slowly, slowly, bit by bit until it is gone without any kind of fallout. Kind of in a subtle way.

james woods;
I'm sure that where it says in Acts is that consumption of blood refers to ingesting/eating it. Don't quote me here, but I think the first transfusion attempt was not up until within the last hundred years or so, and a failing attempt too.
Oh, they really do have a tiger by the tail here.
i had a sudden memory of somthing that i had totaly forgotten about the other day.
when i was 13 i can remember a elder in my cong cornering me in the hall and asking me in specfic detail where i got undressed?
not content with being fobbed off with "in my home" he wanted to know what room, did i ever use the bathroom?
All I have to say is...
WTF
I second that!!

OMG, those 2 experiences are probably the most creepy things i've ever heard of from people in the JWS
this is my first post.
the first portion is my story, and toward the end, you will find the section pertinent to the title of this thread.
(starting with the portion in bold print).
''pray for our brothers''
yeah, that sentiment always rubs me the wrong way after some kind of disaster. I mean, what about the thousands, if not millions of other people who have been devastated.
do any of you watch those?
i don't, cuz i disagree w the concept.
also, at present, i suspect that they may be being put there as a softening up measure on the general public.. what do you think?.
Life After People has to be one of the most interesting shows. So many things in the world exist that I would have never known about had it not been for that show.
