Ambersun, those type of experiences used to make me nuts. Then I figured in the 3rd & 4th world countries where those experiences always seemed to be, the KH was the only place that had a real toilet, and when you have to go, you have to go.

So, GB took a wrong, but somewhat defendable doctrine and made it so much worse to defend, what you can do, cannot do, can transfuse, can't transfuse, it is just beyond ridiculous. What surprises me is that there are doctors in bethel, aren't they able to rein in some of this foolishness. One dr. I knew personally at Wat Farm is very well respected in the org as well as the local hospitals. Why aren't they a voice of reason to all this blood crap? They can't possibly believe that Jesus through spirit is directing what you can and can't do with blood. I'm sure not even GB believes it.

They are not protecting their livelihood. They are not fishermen, they are pirates. If ships dumping waste were the issue they would be pirating THOSE ships, not private pleasure and commercial trade vessels.

Reminds me of a a presiding overseer, full time pioneer window washer brother that used to be in my cong. He would often say if it wasn't for the truth he would be making high six figure salary. Mind you, he went from HS to pioneering to Wat Farm, married, was not accepted back to the farm. Know idea what inflated his ego. Six figures---only in his dreams. He finally moved away, story was he and wife had to care for family member. Real story was he and wife were suppose to inherit that family member's home and property. Heard it all never worked out. Moral of the story---you can say anything you want, talk is cheap, and being a JW you don't have to prove it or back up cheap talk because the ministry comes first. It is irresponsibility to personal growth.

" talk right after the big announcement last month.

It's all so disingenious. If a pub could do 1 or 10 or 20 or 40 or 80 or 160 hrs. they should do it. Suppose to do your best, with or without a tittle. As for that dumb elder statement about Armgeddon coming, what we've always been taught is we have to serve because we DON"T know when it is coming---the thief in the deal.

My favorite books are non fiction adventure. Hard to pick a favorite, but on that favorite list would be the Munity On the Bounty. It is a trilogy. Read them all, in order of course. First is Munity on......., second is Men Against the Sea, and third is Pitcarin's Island. Pitcarin's...... will leave your head spinning. Goggle Pit...... and you'll see to this day how the few inhabitants are linked to the Bounty. Incrediable story!

Go ahead, get that higher education. When questioned about it tell them it is your "theocratic goal" to be the best pedifile lawyer the society ever had.
