If Worldly people stop donating blood Witnesses wouldn't have any "fractions" to use!

greatest religious hypocracy ever.....witnesses would be disfellowshiped for donating blood.....but can use fractions kindly donated by "worldly" people so witnesses can heal!

they condemn the blood banks as greedy, corupt, unsafe institutions.....yet they use them!.

Is the Harvest Inn (Patterson NY) owned by a Witness?
by POs Son in

2. friends
i was looking at reviews on www.tripadvisor.com and saw that the harvest inn near patterson is highly rated (though clearly a lower end mo-tel).

one writer even commented at how nice it is to wake up to kingdom melodies in the morning there.. .

comments lead me to believe that the place is jw owned and primarily caters to visitors of the farms and bus tours of same.. .

i was disappointed in this book, i kept reading it hoping it would get better.

i guess i got spoiled by this forum.

i have found better writings and stories here and a heck of a lot more humor.

someone started a thread asking everyone's favorite xmas movies.. how about favorite xmas music/songs?

even when i was an active jw i had a soft spot for certain xmas music.

the standards, the jazzy ones, the rocknroll ones.. while i like a lot of different ones...i even collected my favs onto a playlist that i keep for this time of year...there are a few that really stand out as my favs.

Kingdom Hall Interiors
by TheMan in
1. jw
2. friends
so i drove by my old kingdom hall the other day and noticed that it had a for sale sign in front of it.

this came as no surprise to me, as i knew that they recently won approval to build a new kingdom hall in a neighboring town.

(caused a bit of a stir in town - but that's a different story).

by flower in

2. friends
i just finished watching martha stewart and after it went off there was a set of commercials before the news came on and i swear i just saw a commercial from the christian congregation of jehovahs' witnesses!.

it was about raising your children with knowledge and love.

it showed a teen girl on the internet in a chat room with a person who had become her best friend and wanted to meet her in person and they said something like if it seems too good to be true it is..'love builds happy familys' was the slogan or something.. .
