To those taking a stand and not attending the Memorial tonight

by doubtfull1799 in

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.

"Taking a stand"?

So much DRAMA!

This isn't the frikkin' Great Tribulation! It's not imaginary Armageddon!

It's NOTHING! That's ALL IT IS!

Get a grip... breathe... relax

You'll feel fine in the morning.

Drama-Kings and Queens aside, this isn't risking your life like by refusing a blood transfusion.

Why don't we give everyone a "Sturm und Drang" trophy for participation in the "Great APOSTATE STAND of 2017"?

Everything is a circus if you're a clown.

The Watchtower are Right About Blood...

by cofty in

... 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.

Nathan Natas

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.

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.
