  Steven Lett asks for money again

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the 2016 january tv.jw.org broadcasting has a clear message: jw.org needs more money!.

  the 2 months of donation increase is not enough: the thousands of projects are not a 2 month project.. so: thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you (heh heh heh) and send us more!

  personal conclusion: if i had any doubts that the society is sincere, this openly money grabbing has made my perception complete.

  the girl next door writes:

  What I am arguing for is the negligence in identifying the hypocrisy of a community that has shared illegal copies of CoC and WT copyrighted material for decades, now suddenly finding their moral compass and justifying a separation of compliance to law between two entities, one they support and one they do not. Seems clear to me. I am surprised by the obfuscation of so many participating.

  There is no obfuscating for me. When a baby-killer is on the loose I have no qualm whatsoever about whether I've infringed on some copyright they may or may not hold. If divulging whatever is true does in anyway whatsoever reduce the deaths I'll gladly do my part.

  Oh, and I don't see any hypocrisy in my action. I'll act the same way no matter who the baby-killer happens to be.

  Now, if you want to talk about a copyright owner who's not killing babies, that's another thing.

  
  Children suffering death!

  Proud baby-killers!

  Drink Driving

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. humour

  with the christmas almost upon us i would like to share a personal experience with you about drinking and driving.. as you may know the local police are having a serious go at drink drivers this year... well, a couple of days ago i was out for an evening with friends and had a small number of drinks before dinner, followed by some rather nice red wine.

  feeling jolly i still had the sense to know that i may be very slightly over the limit.. that's when i did something that i've never done before - i took a taxi home.. sure enough on the way home there was a police road check, but since it was a taxi they waved it past.

  i arrived home safely without incident.. this was a real surprise as i had never driven a taxi before, i don't know where i got it and now that it's in my garage i don't know what to do with it.. any ideas?.

  Timely advice Simon. The life we save might be our own, not to mention loved ones and/or innocent bystanders. Take a cab!

  REFUSING a blood transfusion because of the fear of being shunned. Any experiences?

  by EdenOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was wondering if someone here has a personal story, or witnessed one in first hand, when someone refused to take a blood transfusion and what role the threat of disfellowshipment and shunning played in it (versus a more genuine fear of displeasing jehovah).

  .

  if you do, i would like to know about it.. eden.

  In response to a catastrophic event I'd go wherever my most loved ones were for my sake and theirs. If they happened to be in a KH it would not deter me for a second one way or another. I wouldn't be there for worship. I'd be there (wherever that is) for us.
