"Taking a stand"?
So much DRAMA!
This isn't the frikkin' Great Tribulation! It's not imaginary Armageddon!
It's MONDAY NIGHT! That's ALL IT IS!
Get a grip... breathe... relax
You'll feel fine in the morning.
i salute you.
many of you, like me, are probably under enormous emotional pressure, whether from a lingering false sense of guilt from your indoctrination, whether from "invitations," and assumptions that you'll naturally be coming, or whether from outright emotional blackmail, even begging and pleading.
i am thinking of you whoever you are, all of you, even though i don't know you in person.

... but, they fail to take note of one important detail.. i believe that if we are going to have any chance of reasoning with a jw about blood, this is the place we need to begin.. don't try to convince them that it was only a dietary law.
it wasn't, and they will never go along with it.. don't tell them that saving a life is more important than obeying a law, even a seemingly trivial one.
they take pride in obedience.
Don't tell me what to do, Elder Cofty, dear.

Unpleasant is in the eye of the beholder, Cofty. Some folks here find YOU unpleasant and self-aggrandizing, not to mention unskilled in the use of language and VERY self-important, self-righteous and haughty. But as long as YOU think you are MAGNIFICENT, the hoi-polloi can go to hell.
mrs phizzy and myself will be eating out, sure in the knowledge we will not have jw's using the same restaurant.. i may have a cigar along with my brandy at the meal's end to celebrate my (our) freedom..

Yes, that is my contribution to your otherwise useless and hyper-verbose self-serving thread.
Here's a new word for your vocabulary: CONCISE
Look it up, take it to dinner, and embrace it as a lover would.
Unless you are impotent.

My point, genius, is that it should not be
"The Watchtower are Right About Blood"
either!
But maybe I'm being unfair... are you suffering cognitive impairment or is English just not your bag?

Steve2 - you idea would make for a GREAT video. A large, crowded reception hall where one loaded plate is passed from one person to the next until it gets too a solitary "partaker," who eats and drinks while the non-participants look on in smiling approval. It would be weird to watch, and most people wouldn't get it.

Mrs Superman -
I am a fearless seeker of truth, keeping it all on a spiritual level, in the realm of the ineffable mind.
I am also a dreaded Court Jester. I think.
