the blood issue has been an ongoing arguement between the roomie and me.
not heated, by any means, but she keeps qouting back established wts reasoning on the subject.
"it's feeding, jason.

I hadn't read your letter until just now, and I wish I'd done so much sooner! It is superb, and I love the brilliant use of quotes from WTS publications to hoist them by their own petard.
I'd made similar discoveries while researching the publications prior to my defection, but never bothered to put them in writing. Well done, sir.
i used to be able to say the term "the truth" with no issue.
that was whether i was speaking to jw's or not.
now all i can say is the "witnesses"(catching myself before saying 'witlesses').
In real life, I never call it that anymore. But on here, I'll refer to it as The Truth™ - that little ™ symbol on that term and any other JW jargon is my cynical little jab at the language that JWs use.
my sister just told me that the congregation coordinator from my last hall was recently disfellowshipped.
his wife passed away within the past year.. all i know is that the first announcement was that he was no longer an elder.. and then a while later that he had been disfellowshipped.. he was quite prominent in the city where i live and he has been specifically named on this website at least once - if not twice.
specifically, there was at least one post by 'dogpatch' where his name was mentioned.. just thought i would share..
There should be a Local Needs Talk™ within the next few weeks at the Service Meeting™ that will provide some very broad hints at the kind of behaviour that was involved, without naming names, of course.
have anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?
its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .
if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?
what they're saying is don't push someone past his or her limits.
if you don't learn to respect someone's limits bad things can happen
Well I guess that makes it okay then. Are you effing kidding me?? Are you well??
AnneB's compendium of circumstances where wife beating is acceptable encompasses any situation where a man feels his limits have been infringed.
Complete and utter horse$h!t.

Disgusting.
I am so glad I don't have to peddle that appalling bull$h!t to other people, who actually have their heads screwed on straight, anymore.
but i do so to be fair (may you all have peace!):.
if she were my daughter, and kris humphries said to her what he said to ms. kim, when she voiced her concerns (again) about not wanting to move to minnesota (which she did before getting married and he "pretended" to accept), i might tell her he's the wrong guy/man, too.
no, i don't believe in divorce "just because,"... and don't know that i would tell my daughter to divorce him (she made her bed, so to say), but.... what did he say?
I honestly don't understand the fascination with the Kardashians. Or Jersey Shore for that matter. Or the Duggars.
whatevs. Rich phoneys with more money than brains. Totally off my radar.
so we are looking after this stray we found called ''dog''.... she is ok seems to have settled down and made herself at home.
lol.
so this morning we jump in the car to take carrot to work and we put dog in the kitchen so she doesn't eat all my furniture.
I would find a recording of a dog barking, whining, etc. and add it to your iPod.
Then whenever you leave the house, set it to play very very loud, over and over and over and over and over.
She'll call to complain about your dog barking. The authorities who deal with such things will pay you a visit. You'll say "dog? what dog? we have no dog."
Eventually she will be sent to the looney bin.
i know there's plenty.. one that comes to mind is the blood doctrine.
whole blood is bad, blood fractions may be ok but not all.....wtf?
?.
The ones that allow a child molester to have more rights and privileges within the congregation than the victims of said child molester.
come on.....................don't be shy......................and do not fear ridicule.. jdw .
I wonder if anyone is celebrating the anniversary of CT Russell's demise? I think I might wrap a bedsheet around myself and say it's a toga.
estimates range from 4 million to 15 million children die from starvation each year on this planet.
that's between 500 and 1700 children a day, depending on what numbers you accept.
still, no matter which numbers you use, doesn't this make you arrive at one of the following conclusions?.
