However there are very few other kids around who know anything about it, he would like to know more about the rules, general info, can anyone suggest anything, a website perhaps. He is nearly 13, and has a training ball, a catcher's mitt and a silver slugger 30inch baseball bat, only his sister to play with, I do my best but I'm not too sporty. We are in North Scotland.

Interesting Conversation
by CC Ryder ini had an interesting conversation at work yesterday while on break.
two work mates of mine started to talk about the jw missionaries who were taken captive in the philipines.
one guy didn't understand why they would take a jw hostage.

Brothers told to stop being wasteful!
by dmouse ini wonder what the real reason is behind this plea from the wbts.
perhaps it is more evidence of a desire to downsize?.
but they can't downsize the printing works if the brothers are being wasteful!

The Health-care Advance Directive is not the same as the 'blood card'. I have one right here in front of me , another copy of mine is with my doctor and another with one of the witnesses to my signature. It took me two weeks to fill it out. It is also not the same thing as power of attorney. It is a detailed form of three pages with notes about exactly which products/procedures the person is prepared to accept.There is also a section on end-of-life decisions. Needless to say, the copy with the witness would now be ignored, and I really must contact my doctor to destroy his copy.
There is also a note written on the blood card by anyone who has filled out one of these HCADs stating'I have also completed a Detailed Health-Care Advance Directive'
Hope that clears it up.

that is axiomatic.

OOOOh BACON, yes, yummy .We had liver and bacon casserole tonight with pork and leek sausages.
Best of all I love real smoked back bacon, crispy or floppy. in a sandwich with either egg( nearly hard) or tomato and lots of black pepper.
Please can someone tell me what is grits?
I DO dig on swine.

Thankyou all for all your comments.
I am relatively unscathed as I was the only JW in my family.
Yes it is like a virus, and amputation is the only cure.
I woke up a few times last night feeling a bit guilty for putting him through all that, but this morning I felt CLEANSED!
And I'm ready for any repercussions.
Meaty.

Why should I lower my standards to go to a religious meeting?( This is a whole other thread)
The Watchtower and the Bible are two different things, he agreed,Jesus said 'I am the Way, the Truth and the Life', not 'They are the ...Truth...etc' WT just wants obedience to it's man made rules, there are enough laws in the Bible without making up anymore.He agreed shunning was bad, but said he wouldn't talk to a DF'd person on spiritual matters, WHY NOT? no coherent reply.
The structure of the RC Church similar to WT, Bunch of mainly anonymous guys at the top set all the rules, proscribed reading, etc.
Had he seen Panorama? NO, I have a vid, no thanks.He said ' it was handled badly' I said if you saw Ted J in the street you'd want to slap him. well I would!
I went on about a lot of stuff to do with 'cleaning the cup on the outside', corruption not just at congregation level, but all the way up, deep breath...did he know about the UN? No, so I told him the whole thing, he tried to make excuses, where did I get that info etc, I told him it could be verified, I could prove it,I have it all in writing,did he want to see it, did he want me to prove it? did he want to believe it? embarrassed, he said No, he didn't WANT to believe it. Exactly, I said most JWs wouldn't want to believe it and would be happy to believe any excuse they were told.
I said I didn't need to go back to the meetings and just because some things were wrong in other orgs didn't make the WT right.
He said I was making too much of it ! No! people have died and are dying upholding rules of the WT when they themselves are secretly breaking there own rules to protect themselves against litigation and/or to protect property and money and power.Jesus said He had nowhere to lay His head, so why does the WT need so much stuff? To distribute all these mags.! It went on in this vein for a long time and he tried to change the subject, i mentioned how the WT brings out 'new light' to cover themselves for stuff thats been going on for ages to try to save themselves, referring to Ciro A's talk/ signing up to the UN ideals. Bunch of hypocrites!
No, I said I don't need to belong to an organization that teaches people to distrust people who are not JWs, that's biggotry.Who are the GB anyway? did he know? No. Who gets to be in the 'Society' same answer.
The WT tells people not to look at the internet because it exposes their lies and hypocrisy.
Oh, and about the blood card, I could not prove it but I think he will get some 'new light' on that as well....
No thanks I did not need a corrupt organization of lying, hypocrite biggoted blasphemers.
' Well, would you still like me to bring the mags?'
I went on and on and ended up with chest pains, maybe it was the relief. I said I didn't want to hurt him,but I new his family had put up with a lot of rubbish from the Org and by letting it happen they let it continue, my conscience would not allow that sort of thing.
We parted on friendly enough terms but I don't know what to expect now!
