the Service Meetings didn't prepare me for this
by stillin innaked ladies at the door!
various stages of undress, including absolutely nothing on.
my response was to be cool, go into my presentation and sneak a peek when i thought it wouldn't be noticed.

Watchtower on Taking In Meat
by Marvin Shilmer inwatchtower on taking in meat .
today i added a new article to my blog addressing an underpinning of watchtowers blood doctrine, and how in 1980 this underpinning was undermined by none other than watchtower itself.
as it turns out watchtower admits that prior to the flood there was no prohibition against taking in meat, which as it turns out means there was no pre-flood prohibition against taking in blood.

As is true of many WT doctrines, the no-blood teaching is another man made invention. And as is true of many useless and senseless human inventions, the no-blood teaching needs to be taken to the salvage yard and scrapped!
Thank you Marvin.

Besse Cooper, world's oldest person, dies at 116
by 00DAD inbesse cooper, the oldest verified living person, died yesterday at 116 years old.
you can read the yahoo news story.
as a problem for wt "theology", there are currently only about 70 supercentenarians, that is people still alive over the age of 110.. there are now only six people still alive that are 113 years old or older.

Generation ! Now there’s a word that WT would rather not hear, comment on or discuss and maybe would love to see removed not only from the English language, but from all languages worldwide.

I wasn’t going to name names, but present_truth you forced my hand. I too remember a ‘Lou Razor’. A real piece of work! Last I recall he was sent to the cold country in the mid-west where he belongs. Many Most in our circuit were glad to see him go.
Its’ been said that traveling men are sent by Mother to build-up and offer encouragement to the congregations when all they do is wear out the welcome mat!

Hatchet men! When I think of COs and DOs for some strange reason the term ‘hatchet men’ comes to mind. Not shepherds, but ‘hatchet men’. Go figure!

Sad, but you just touched on a major flaw of the JW religion. If they could count the time they spend on/with you, it might be different!
Welcome rickisteel! As many of the above posted comments stated…. Though we may be miles apart, you have a friend in us.
Thank you for sharing and look forward to more.

ArbolesdeArabia: ‘JW-Gone-Bad: what you are asking cannot be done, the Organization will implode.’ You got that right!
BluesBrothers: The WTS has been dishing out sugar pills for 130 years and counting ! "Just hold on untill 1914, or 1925, or 1975 or soon ,real soon, and all your troubles will be over"...
Forget the past 130 years! Many are dreading the 1,000 years to follow and then Satan is let loose and all hell breaks out again!!!
The more I think about it the more ‘adversity’ I feel! Thank you WT, but enough with the sugar pills!

Jesus Christ had nowhere to lay his head. Jesus had low overhead costs. Jesus’ lifestyle was very simple. Therefore, he had no need to burden his followers for money and yet he is called the Greatest Teacher that ever lived.
The WTBTS, on the other hand, has massive overhead costs in the form of large real estate holdings furnished with machinery, office equipment and living quarters that in turn need to be kept-up and maintained. Upkeep of these holdings can only be done with revolving large sums of money.
Add to that a sizeable legal department that is battling numerous lawsuits which WT has brought upon themselves. It takes large sums of dedicated man-hours focused on bringing in the revenue needed to cover all these operating costs. Debit and credit card stations at circuit and district conventions have been added in their arsenal of collections to meet their excessive spending. What next!
Oh, what a web WT weaves when they practice to deceive!

Paragraph 10 states: “It is also good to keep in mind that we cannot remove all problems.”
I say, with WT’s help we can!
The WT’s disciplinary practice of disfellowshipping and shunning, the no blood policy, the constant harassment from WT about field service obligations, meeting preparation & attendance, assembly & convention demands, the confusion that updates & new understandings cause and the pressure of keeping up with the latest publications--all contribute to high level of anxiety and other emotional adversities the JWs suffer from today.
Do away with all the unscriptural insistence on the time, assets and energies of the rank and file and you do away with the majority of emotional adversities in JWs’ lives.
