Now THAT is when there will be 'new light' on the blood doctrine...when they start finding the wtbt$ culpable of manslaughter and sueing the board of directors...corporate manslaughter is already a crime in the uk.
I am raging right now.

Call up and watch them do nothing. If its legally the sisters money there is nothing to be done.
Also...do you KNOW that these "druggies"are indeed what you say they are or do you surmise it because of the way they dress/look.
Incidentally..beer is alcohol, alcohol is a drug.

Terry, I get all fired up about wtbts, and want to scream from the rooftops....until..comes along my 87 yr old diabetic, slightly confused neighbour (who knows nothing about my background )but lovingly comes around for a feed once a month and brings me the watchtower and awake.."oh its wonderful being a witness...you get to know EVERYTHING when you are a witness, the society took me to see the garden of eden..we saw this little pool, all thats left, yes!" . Actually she really has been to every continent bar the south pole with "the society" and it must be said its not bad for an immigrant seamstress from Jamaica who came over in the 50's, how many of her generation are so well travelled?I can barely list a country she hasn't been to (and has an anecdote about). Anyway, how do I tell one who has lost everyone in death including a beloved daughter, whose health is failing fast that its all claptrap??
I agree with you wholeheartedly...I could not begin to replace what I would take from her..really, what would be the point at this stage?

Resistance is NOT futile!
by Bonsai inall i want from this life is to be able to wash windows at bethel.. my story.. when i was fresh out of high school and pioneering, i said those exact words to my friends and family.
all i wanted to do was be at the core of the organization where it was the safest.
i gleefully told people that i'd gladly spend the rest of my life washing windows, waiting tables, doing laundry or cleaning bathrooms.

Interesting that buddhist tradition is considered the source of the flower on the casket , it seems to me it is a very ancient universal homo sapien act of love and reverence for the departed. -

Religion (and specially this one) is great at giving you a disease so that they can sell you their cure.
Best one sentence description of religon I've read.

Name "UNWRITTEN" Rules That JWs Are Supposed To Follow
by minimus inas with the scribes and pharisees, there are a number of unwritten rules that witnesses are supposed to follow.
here's a couple : "worldly" kids in society depictions are shown quite often wearing their baseball caps backwards.
jehovah's witness youths would not want to imitate that "look".

The problem with JWs is that it is an US American religion. One that got stuck in the fabled 1950s television land. A complete life of make believe.
Couldn't agree more, hence the NO BEARD RULE, VERY UN-AMERICAN NOT UNCHRISTIAN to be specific, very unamerican 50's macarthy no commies here clean cut preppy look. I had a best friend whoose father had one , a liberal intellectual in the early 70's when his teacher wife converted. Clever man, designed aircraft but so clever he knew to keep his marriage happy he would have to convert. So. How to keep the vultures at bay?KEEP THE BEARD. GENIUS. When his beloved wife died a horrible death youngish of lung cancer having given her all to the org he fell apart.
Love thy neighbour? Never was there a religon that cared less about one's neighbour. In pain? Armaggedons coming. Worried sick? Forget it big A's coming. Child dead? Stop moaning armaggedon comin'. And the worse thing is it made genuine good people feel like they were sinning if they gave time or money to good causes, but gave a pat on the back to the meanies who only flogged their mags.

Sisters shouldn't wear too much makeup or jewelry Years ago, I bought my wife a full length mink coat, a dazzling diamond to go with the other jewelry and she always had designer handbags. "
Good taste has never been on the list of rules for JW's - written or unwritten!

But I like your idea of Chris Hitchens voice- the shock value, the dicotymy between the silly benign face and the intellectual *Mick McManus-ness of Hitchens voice!
*Mick McManus was a fearsome no holds barred British wrestler

Separated for over a month...
by cognac init hasn't been easy at all... trying to care for two kids- ages 3 & 6, while working fulltime, barely any support from immediate family, my ex has only seen the kids twice for a few hours, ughhhh.... i make way to much money to qualify for any sort of help, ex barely makes anything so that's out.... this is a million times harder than i could have even imagined... but, we are managing somehow; abeit, a little creatively at times.... i had just started thinking to myself, "we can do this!
" then, my house got robbed, about 10k worth of stuff stolen... ughhhh..... this is so depressing....

Hey kiddo, I am so sorry about the robbery, have a good sound off here. Forget the money... why the crap hasn't he had the kids more???!!!! Is he a male chauv JW male?? Or is it cos you have just seperated so its difficult to see each other just now? Early stages are so hard... you just feel like giving in, come home!l Hey I would get honest and say you are having a hard time and get him to take the kids for the weekend at least. Especially if you get no extended family support, you are gonna burn out if not! I send you a karmic HUG 😀💋
