Entirely Possible said: Whether GZ's life was in danger or not when he shot TM we will never know since no one can verify what whappened. Because he was breaking the first rules of carrying a weapon as a civilian, he created a situation where everyone involved lost big time.
Bingo. I don't think GZ set out to purposely murder Trayvon Martin that night, but it was Zimmerman's actions that started the whole thing rolling and in the end, Trayvon Martin paid for it with his life.
Involuntary manslaughter. If that's actually an option.
Since Canada Day and Independence Day are so close together, I thought this video would be a nice thing to post:
during the years when i was an active jw i never questioned the ban on blood transfusion.
i have been inactive now for a number of years and even during those early years i reasoned i will never accept a blood transfusion.
however, thinking about it with an open mind, i question the current teaching of jw's on banning blood transfusion on any account even if it means saving a life.
Hi Cookie;
Here's a link with a lot of interesting information about the subject: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/best-of/76268/1/The-Best-of-Lee-Elder-Blood
hi folks.
i'm just curious as to whether anyone is experiencing any repercussions following the "human apostates" talk on the saturday of the district convention?.
my relatives will be attending soon, which makes me anxious.
I'll let you know tomorrow. I'm having dinner with my holier-than-thou-JW-cousin-who's-no-longer-gay (ya right) tonight as they're down for their ASSembly. I'm sure we'll hear all about the wonderful spiritual food that they partook of at Jehovah's table today.
with the huge floods in alberta the news now is starting to cover the issue of property damange and insurance.. we've never really thought a lot about insurance cover for flooding because it became a big issue in the uk about 5-10 years ago with limited land availability leading to building on flood plains and the eventual inevitable consequences and so when we bought over here we didn't buy anywhere that was a possible flood risk.
our choice seems to have worked out as we've been completely untouched by the recent issues but tragically, others have been less fortunate and apparently few people are covered for 'overland flooding' which is where water enters your house through doors and windows.. it's hard to really know what is fair.
i understand the reason why insurers don't cover it and the arguments on both sides.. one one hand, we included the flood risk when puchasing a home.
Glad to hear you guys are okay Simon. I was just watching the videos of downtown Calgary and thought of you and your family. Never thought I'd see Calgary under water!
I don't have flood insurance because if the waters ever got up to my house, you could kiss half of Southern Ontario good-bye. Either that or start building an ark. Normally when disasters like this happen, the government declares it a 'disaster zone' and provides monies to help people re-build.

Oh god.....why do they keep embarassing themselves like this? I wonder how long it'll be before we see this one:
this subject came up with a friend of mine on facebook the other day.
he was never officially baptized as a witness and i believe he is now a born again christian.. does crooklyn consider someone an 'apostate' if you were never actually a full-fledged member but ended up leaving?
or are you just considered 'bad association'??

does anyone know where i can find this?
is there a pdf version of it anywhere to be found?.

I think I've got a copy downstairs somewhere but I'm not quite sure. Check Randy Watter's website (Freeminds.org) or jwfacts.com to see if they've got it.
funny picture in new public watchtower.
evidently there was a digital camera taking pictures about 3,500 years ago.
noah had family worship night in the ark, so all you slackers have no excuse!
Assuming for a moment that a worldwide flood actually happened 5,000 years ago as described in Genesis, I'm pretty sure that Noah & Co. would have had alot more important things to do. Like shovelling all the (literal) shit from human and animal alike fro the ship every single day. Plus they have to feed all the animals and cook for themselves every day. All the logistics that would have been involved would have been mind-boggling to say the least and would have taken a lot of their time. I sincerely doubt they would have had time for a frigging "Family Night" of worship.
Good lord, the Writing department gets crazier with each new picture they submit.
