  Hey Simon

  by ShirleyW in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm noticing that when i open quite a few of the posts here i notice that the end of the sentences on some lines are breaking improperly.

  like for the word paragraph, it's broken up with the "aph" on the next line for an example.

  it's happening a lot i'm seeing it just about in every post i open, is it just my view and my computer?.

  Need Help with Blood Transfusion Illustration

  by Dissonant15 in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  please, who can provide an intelligent rebuttal to the following illustration?

  i always thought it was bullet-proof:.

  "if your doctor directs you to 'abstain from alcohol' would you be ok to have it injected into your veins rather than drink it?

  Not entirely on subject; but if someone was starving a blood transfusion would not prevent that person from dying of starvation.

  Paint, Barney, and Jehovah

  by John Aquila in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i made a quick run to lowes to buy some paint and ran into a brother.

  he is one of those elders that is very, very, petty.

  if he drops by your house unexpected and notices that your kids are watching one of the star wars movies, he will counsel you for allowing your kids to watch any movie that has to do with war he will then make sure you are not recommended for any privilege.

  Bumping for the newbies!

  I have a sister who nearly died, thanks to this nonsense. (cardiac problems & anemia). Long slow recovery.... She thanks Jehovah instead of her doctors who did pull her through.

  "--want to survive Armageddon?-- the start partaking--

  by prologos in

  1. social
  2. humour

  jesus: the gt will be cut short for the sake of the "chosen ones" the sealed anointed).

  unless those days are cut short no flesh will be saved.

  how can you be saved without being a chosen one, be a chosen one without partaking?.

  If I was to live forever I don't care if its on earth or in heaven. I just don't want it to be with the witnesses!

  LEFTOVERS and STOLEN LIGHT (An historical look at Watchtower laziness and misadventure)

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  should the chosen mouthpiece (gb) be a voice or merely an imitative echo?.

  is new light original (because it is coming direct from jehovah) or is it leftover from the minds of men?.

  watchtower magazine failed to release new light first, before any other religious person or body.

  Do you have any recording devices? Question at JW Judicial Committee. Can we use this weapon against them?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  what labels the watchtower judicial system as a completely kangaroo court is the secrecy in which they take place.

  i was asked this question by 5 elders who sat as judges over me over the charges get this "speaking against the organization" this was truly the most kangarooie of the kangaroo courts ever.

  when they first invited me to this meeting by 2 elder at my place of work i asked them what the charges were and was told speaking against the organization to which i said right the charges down on a piece of paper and sign it to which they refused.
