Hey Aude, I'm so glad to hear your dad's on the mend and glad I could be of some help.
That sucks about the fires in your area, but glad that you're okay.

in another thread, mouthy said she was "not well" and mentioned "kicking the bucket.

i believe she needs some encouragement and well wishes.. mouthy, you don't need to respond to this thread if you don't feel up to it.

just consider it an exceptionally long get-well card..

Hi AudeSpaere: I did a project a few years ago about all their BS doctrines and one of the subjects I did was on blood. Randy Watters has it on his Freeminds page and you can download it. It's in pdf. Go to pages 22 - 25 I believe and feel free to print it off and show it to your father.
When my brother in law was dying, I convinced him and my sister that the Organization's ban on blood tranfusions was absurd and completely without scriptural support. While they did end up taking blood, it was too little, too late for him. Out of frustration and rage at watching him slowly deteriorate, I phoned Bethel and spoke to some idiot in the Writing Dept. about the blood issue. I was prepared for every argument he had. Of course, he was more concerned about who I was and what congregation I went to than in dealing with the issue at hand. Finally at the end of the conversation when he had nothing to back his drivel up, he told me that "if any changes needed to happen, Jehovah would direct it through the "Slave". End of conversation. I really wish I had taped it.
There was someone else on here a couple of years ago who had a family member in the hospital and who was refusing blood. She emailed me about my project and I sent it to her. She printed it off and gave it to their daughter (the person in question) and apparently she read it, thought about it and decided to take the blood.

Thanks to Scully for alerting me to this thread.

What if the male became pregnant and not the woman.
Birth control would have been invented 25,000 years ago after the first time the guy told the girl "I missed my period".

I beg to disagree. Ever have your ass hauled before a Judicial Committee?

i challenge anyone that can accurately predict events by reading the bible or your prophetic book of choice, to give me a specific date when something will happen so i can watch for it!.

give us the date here (not a pm) and tell us what will happen.. let there be no excuses!

no get out clauses of ''it doesn't work that way'' or similar.
Mary

OK, here's one: I predict that on the morning of July 16, 2013, that thousands of Witlesses will all be gathered together under one roof where they will sing, clap their hands off throughout the day, slap their kids, eat and sleep in their seats. At exactly 5:00pm, they will all disperse only to repeat the same routine the next morning.
Okay, where's my million dollars?

When I defended myself once, the bullies stopped but I got a severe beating for disobedience to the bible.
Good lord. Sounds like your parents were 10x worse than the bullies.

today was a north american address to all congregations, 2 1/2 hours, with a video from the governing body.

was anything earth-shattering shared?.

My sister told me on Saturday that there was going to be a 'special meeting' that was taped and it was going to be 2 1/2 freaking hours. I asked her what the topic was and she said she didn't know. I said "gee, maybe Armageddon is right around the corner again".
So ya, I'd be curious to know what it consisted of.
