Today as I was trying to put my baby down for a nap, he was cranky and crying and I was doing my best to confort him (comfort=nursing him)the doorbell rang several times and knocking like there was a fire. so I go to see who it was, guess what? It was JW, he was so nice and pleasent looking, he proceeded to tell me how the world in all religions were uniting, well in the bedroom my baby is crying, I also was un-prepared to speak to him (any other time I always say I cant wait till one comes to my door so I can speak) and guess what I froze, I told him I was an athiest (thought that would get me off the hook) finally I had to tell him thanks but no thanks. In my mind I was saying to myself my baby needs more at this time than this man does)as I went back and laid down with my son, soo many things went thru mind, I felt very shamefull that I said I was an athiest, but I am far from one, I also asked for forgiveness from above, I hope I got it. I also pictured this sweet man who only knew one thing and who knows how long he has been one and I prayed for him, prayed that he might see thru sheeps clothing. The whole thing disturbed me.
Did I do the right thing? and why did it bother me soo much?
excuse the typos, typing with one hand holding the baby in the other

Very Far from a witness, i'm not an x witness nor do I do anyone that close to me that is one, I have a distant cousin that is one, but dont know her at all, what got me interested and mainly concerned is being a mother myself, I worry about the children out there and the choices jw's make for them, also since the Tragedy that has our nation, I am worried for jw's and also mad at them at the same time, the jw's on the other site seemed to think it was ok that their children die because of their faithfullness to who ever said in the first place blood was bad. Also ticks me off that their support for our country is Null&Void, and the whole thread well both the jw threads over there got me fire ingine red mad!! No matter what I said or facts I presented, they continued to bash me.
I do go to church, I beleive in God, Jesus, and the whole thing. And I am glad I am not a jw, if I were I would have no choices or freeedoms.

Went to the site lastnight, and I am still in shock and sadness and hopefully someday soon they will take your findings and reform their *Rules* Also downloaded the movie, watched it and cried.
How many active witnesses agree with the reform? Do they still feel the same and will refuse? Or will they think twice if they needed blood. and I also dont understand why they would refuse to use their *OWN* blood (confused look on Sarahs face) -
