There was a talk at the KH about this in the mid '90s. They said that storing blood broke the cycle of it being circulated and thus was a no-no. I got in a big argument with my mother on this. I told her that was the weirdest logic I'd ever heard. It's my blood if I want to store it and then take it again I will! I finally gave up.

Well a year or two ago she came in and announced that they said at the meeting that you could store your blood. I said WHAT? I told her we got into an argument over this in the past and she looked like she didn't have a clue what I was talking about. I dropped it. It's worse than talking to a brick wall.

Are you happy with your name?

by greendawn in

we do not choose our names our parents do so, are you pleased with the one they picked for you?

if not what would you like your name to be?

i am very pleased with my name, nicolas.

I love the name Grace. It reminds me of Grace Kelly.

I always liked my first name and what it's meaning is. My parents asked me recently if I liked it and I said yep!

i apologize but i posted this on another thread and then decided it really deserved its own thread.

yes, i know that is only my opinion but what else have i to go on?.

thanks to a pm someone sent me we can now compare 10 months of the current service year to last year's service report.

With all the preaching work going on, millions of devoted hrs., there is very little increase.

With all the hours, on average, that have to be spent per person baptized, it's amazing how much time is wasted. I know where I'm at they seem to bring one new one in about every five years, and those seem to not last too long before they split and leave.

due to my husbands interactions with my mom with questions about the history of the wbts, i received a phone call from her.

(keep in mind she is 72 years a witness).

i brought up the un thing and she said, thats from apostates.

seawolf

Same thing here. I've talked with some witnesses that said about the same thing. I know they've had some doubts but they are just trying to jam it into their head all the crap from the magazines and platform so that they can convince themselves that it's true because they've invested too much into it and have nowhere else to go.

I guess I never really noticed the talks on masturbation at the hall. I think I was too busy thinking about sex to even notice.

The Capable Wife....

right before i got disfellowshipped in 2002 i was sitting in the kingdom hall listening to an elder give a public needs talk.....and this one floored me.. so the brother starts talking about what it means to be a capable wife...of course all of the scriptures and regular bullshit we've heard over and over....but then he goes on to say...."so what i'm saying sisters is.... to save money to help with the household you can make a garden and get food from that to make your dinners.... you can learn how to sew so that you can make your own clothes instead of spending money to go and buy them at expensive department stores.... and you could look into your circumstances to see if its feasible for you to quit your jobs to stay home and run the household....blah blah blah.." i can't much remember the rest because my head had blown up to the size of jupiter with the hot steam i was about to let go in the middle of the talk.

i decided it was better to get up and go... and i did.

i only mention this now...because (now divorced from my ministerial servant husband of 10 years), i am a single mother that has worked her ass off not only in the secular world, but now as a mother raising two children, getting my college degree and maintaining every avenue of the household responsibilities on my own.

I found a picture of the elder that gave the talk. It's obvious why he gave this talk now. He still has much evolving to do.
