  What was the strangest off-the-cuff remark you ever heard from and elder or higher appointee?

  by donny in

  i showed up for saturday morning field service and i was partnered with an elder who had transferred to our congregation in the dallas, texas area from michigan.

  i told him about a recent embarrassing moment where i had played a "worldly" song during the sunday meeting due to someone replacing the cassette i had placed in the cassette player late friday night that had the correct "kingdom melody.".

  out of the blue he said "about 4 years ago i was giving the sunday talk and i kept sporting a boner from time to time which was bizarre since being horny and teaching about jehovah is typically not something one associates with one another.".

  i asked if the new britain branch construction had stopped, and i was told that "the governing body instructed us to cease all work on the project.".

  Good work SEARCHER!

  I get the feeling that you managed to slip thru the society's information firewall and got a straight answer.

  They won't let that happen again!

  i just got the new document about blood fractions from the wt, they will allow you to choose hemoglobin, but apparently not packed red blood cells, but in the medical journal i see nothing about hemoglobin infusions, is this even possible or just more bullshit from the wt?

  A generation is two overlapping generations. . .. . .

  Asking for money is not soliciting funds. . . .

  Kingdom Halls aren't churches. . . . ..

  A Hemoglobin infusion isn't a blood transfusion . . .

  Makes sense.

  i am a dyed in the wool carnivore.

  i suffer from cheese addiction.

  lobsters are mercilessly boiled alive.. but after watching this new documentary called cowspiracy on netflix, all that may change.

  If you do it right, a vegan diet is pretty damn healthy. . . . I did it myself for health reasons -- not environmental/animal rights -- but then again there are some pretty good arguments for doing it on those grounds alone.

  I say give it a try.

  Need Help with Blood Transfusion Illustration

  by Dissonant15 in

  2. medical

  please, who can provide an intelligent rebuttal to the following illustration?

  i always thought it was bullet-proof:.

  "if your doctor directs you to 'abstain from alcohol' would you be ok to have it injected into your veins rather than drink it?

  Even as a kid with a basic understanding of how the body works, I knew this illustration was bogus.

  Hearing it now make me want to reach for a drink.

  Max Larson's archived experience on tv-jw-org includes an AWKWARD statement

  by Gilgamesh in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this isn't about anything sordid (or morbid, or reported that knorr did).. it's just that i found an odd-sounding statement in the archived interview that appeared at about 31m20s in the december 2014 monthly tv.jw.org broadcast (or at 4m35s in the stand-alone larson interview also on tv.jw.org).

  it seems to reveal an attitude that you'd think would be obsolete about the power of the anointed.

  in the attached image, as captioned by tv-jw-org, he said: "every overseer was anointed .

  When I watched the video it was hard to believe that anyone would call JFR, "Pappy." But Knorr called him "Pappy." I remember at Bethel, you sometimes heard Knorr referred to as "Pappy Knorr." I can't see how anyone would give either of them such a nickname based on their natural personalities. Seems like a nickname they wanted to be called.

  Interestingly, some Catholics call the Pope "papa," eg "Papa Francis." So much for no hierarchy.

  I get the feeling that Rutherford would be more aptly named "asshole" than "pappy."

  Death is not something to be feared!

  by iconoclastic in

  2. beliefs

  science can explain how of things, but it cannot explain why of certain things (for example, why did life arise from non-life and evolved from simpler creatures to more complex life forms only to die and disappear?

  ) so are the conflicted religions whose chief concern is in safeguarding each ones separate identity..

  next option is to look for pearls among the stonesusing power of our own reason.

  i'm sick of.... ...having an elder i barely know invite himself over to my house, and bring another asshole elder with him, you know, to "see how i'm doing" f-ck them.

  ...having same elder with all insincerity approach me at the beeting and before inviting himself over, ask, "how are you doing?

  " then when i say everything is great, go ahead and invite them selves over anyway.

  Don't like unannounced visits from pesky elders?

  Knock on their door at 6AM or 10PM and ask them a stupid question like if it's going to rain tomorrow.

  If they give you any trouble, tell them stop calling unannounced at your house, and you will do the same.
