My grandma gave me a book on him years ago. Way back in the 80's I think. Interesting guy.

Those Wacky Stigmata Monks
by ashitaka inin the mood for bizzarre behavior?
read this.
vatican city -- hundreds of thousands are expected to flock to st. peter's square on sunday for the canonisation of a monk whose palms bled inexplicably for decades like the wounds of christ.

Lazy JW's Should Be DF'd .
by Englishman inthis is a serious post!
i'm arguing elsewhere that disfellowshipping today bears no resemblance to how the apostles disciplined their dissident members.
the jw's often quote from 2 thessalonians 3: 6-15 to support their argument for shunning.

There is another scripture about busybodies that puts them on the same level as murderers. Wish they read that one more often.

Then they say, "Disfellowshipped people are evil, wicked and unrepentent" from the platform in as many talks as they can. All the while you are sitting in the back listening to this and being ignored and crying your eyes out in the last row, hoping that you have enough Kleenex to last thru the meeting.

You guys didn't say that JASON was an attendee! (what was the name of that movie where the guy wore a hockey mask and killed everyone? I just knew he was apostate).

One time, my ex-husband, who was df'd, and I received a knock on our door from a sister who was moving back into town. She had an unbelieving mate and 3 children under 5. She had gone to her brothers house who REFUSED to allow her to stay there (this sister's children were a handful). So they came to our house and with kids and hubby and van outside, she asked if they could stay a few days until their hotel was available.
We said yes. My ex was respectful of trying to not talk to the sister very much, except for hello, good bye, as was she. But they didnt want to act too distant because of the unbelieving mate. Then one night her mate insisted we all go out to dinner to thank us for welcoming them in our home. So, we went, it would have been too weird not to accept.
Guess what? Her brother got on ME for allowing this to all go on! He was an MS. I told him where to get off and he should have taken them in...or talk to his sister, but leave me out of it.
TINA, people often want to ply us with rules. But rarely do they want to see the big picture. Family business and limited family relations are supposedly ok.... its weird to me that some man may want to tell that I could not speak to the child I bore, nurtured and raised. I will always accept her and embrace her.

The "rule" used to be if he was BAPTIZED you had to cover your head during the study. And if baptized, the rule is that he must say the prayer.
And this rule only applies at a PRE-arranged bible study. An impromptu study, or when you unexpectedly start a door-step study, this "rule" doesn't apply. (A pre-arranged study is considered an extension of the congregation, therefore falls under this congregational rule)... ugh.

So, Six, if you went on a date ....... just tell us how it would go....
I mean, if you were to go over to a girl's house, just how nervous would you be?
