what art work would you put on the shirts, the front and the back?

two elders in my congregation signed mine bc hubby couldn't bear the repercussions of either 1- saving my life by allowing the blood transfusion, which would probably lead to him being df'd, and 2- me dying bc he did not allow the blood transfusion and having my parents call him a murderer.. isn't that so nice?

when i most wanted him to represent me, he didn't have the guts, even hypothetically.... so, who signed your blood card?.

GLTirebiter

I know who signed my child's card, without my knowledge or consent. It was an elder from the ex's congregation, whose signature falsely claimed him to be a relative and legal guardian.

My blood card is from the blood bank, and yields six units every year!

Why don't they sell these? Think how much faster you could cover an under-served territory with this for a service car! And they come in the Theocratically Approved four-door body style.

here are some picture in my neighborhood.. our house was not affected.

there is possibly more flash flooding expected tonight.. in the picture below our house sits at the bottom right corner about 2 blocks out of frame.

yesterday and tonight we are staying in another town with family.. .

GLTirebiter

I wonder if the dubs in the area still went to meeting during the worst of it.

Well, it's not like the Kingdom Hall would be too busy "feeding the hungry and sheltering the homeless". Unlike another church in town. (Matthew 25:35-40, John 13:35)

The reports are that some small towns in the high country may be cut off for another week or two before they can be reached other than by helicopter.

Small towns in the canyons (Jamestown, Pinewood Springs, the Cal-Wood education camp, etc.) are inaccessible by ground, and being evacuated by helicopter when weather allows flying. Rescue vehicles have made it through to larger towns above the canyons (Nederland, Allens Park, Estes Park, etc.) but the route is barely passable, and open for emergency use only. The following is from the Office of Emergency Management (route name redacted):

"There are still no east to west routes open from U.S. 36 (Foothills Highway) to State Highway 72 (Peak to Peak). XXXXX is barely passable for emergency vehicles and is NOT open to the public. It is currently the only way in and out of the Boulder foothills for emergency response vehicles equipped to traverse over extremely damaged roads.

For safety reasons as well as just sheer impassibility for personal vehicles, XXXXX is ONLY open to emergency vehicle access until further notice. Please get out the word to your friends and neighbors."

who has actually read the entire Bible?

by losingit in

no matter how many times i've tried, i just couldn't get through the whole thing.

you know, there were always those reminders to read the bible, have a personal study, go out in service, and.... the other two of the five things we were supposed to do i already forgot.

so, i constantly felt guilty that i just had no interest.

GLTirebiter

Several times, various editions.

"You knew what the consequences were when YOU decided to leave The Truth. This is YOUR decision and the outcome is YOUR responsibility."

by nicolaou in

how many of us have had to deal with a version of that retort?!

it's hurtful and i suspect - for some - that's partly because of the nagging feeling that our families may have a point.. but do they?.

i was 15 when i got baptised, is it reasonable that as the 50 year old man i'll be on my next birthday i continue to be held to a decision i made as a schoolboy?.

GLTirebiter

How would they react to being treated the same way? It's time for some tough love:

"YOU knew what the consequences were when YOU decided that following the Watchtower was more important than your own flesh and blood. This is YOUR decision and the consequences are YOUR responsibility. If ever YOU are ready to admit YOUR error and want to apologize and make ammends for YOUR behavior, we will be here. But we will not tolerate YOUR bad conduct."

Do e-books reproduce images?

I have many ebooks (.mobi format) with illustrations. Pen-and ink drawings (and wood cuts) reproduce well on the black-and-white Kindle e-ink display. The display does not have really high resolution, so photos will lose detail.

What can I do??

by Nenmco in

first, i am married, but the marriage ended 11 years ago.

no sex, no emotion, just roommates paying the bills.

i met a wonderful jw gal about a year ago and we have been friends.

What Rebel8 said: "It sounds like you are asking us to advise you on how to cheat on your wife without the mistress feeling guilty."

Your marriage may be in bad shape, but you are a married man. Behave accordingly. In other words, man up!

What can I do, and keep her secure in her faith?

If your "wonderful JW gal" really is a faithful JW, she does not want to be romantically involved with a married man. If she is found to be engaging in "loose conduct" with you, she will experience "the humiliation of that whole process", as you put it. Would you really want her to go through that? A little local gossip is all it takes to bring that on.

want to discourage me from finding some happiness

If you really are "looking for happiness", you will do it properly and honorably. Your own post shows your misgivings about this. Be honest with yourself.
