I'd hate to open the door to that!
I've never seen a better argument for a screen/security door than that pic! It seems mosquitos aren't the only pest you need to keep out in the South...
I'm glad he wasn't knocking on my door anyway!
Perhaps a donation to the WorldWIde Work would have satisfied him...
Now they're going door-to-door!
under what circumstances?
if you really couldn't change and you were on a very tight budget would you go to work wearing pajamas?

I drive a taxi so I can wear what ever I want when ever I want to.I am the boss.
Not in the state of New South Wales. Taxi drivers have to wear uniforms here!
That's the great thing about radio, nobody can see you when you are on the air.
There used to be a radio show here entitled "Nude Radio"

when i was growing up as a "devout" jw's i ran into countless of born-again christians(bacs) that would tell me i was going to hell, i was in a "cult", jw's were the "anti-christ" the wts was "satanic" and we were going to burn in the lake of fire for all eternity.
can you imagine how i felt as a jw's working at a place with 10 bacs telling me this at lunch time.
but still i would treat them nice and play cards with them and never openly judge them.
Maybe you should stick to wrestling...
in fact, over the past year there have been two such instances.
a few weeks ago i was at a depot i visit once a month and i noticed someone who had been disfellowshiped about 8 or 9 years ago.
i waited for him to finish his conversation and then approached him.
Stephanus:My reaction to your post was the same as Nic's. Fortunately he got the reply in first, because I was gonna chew you a new one...
For what, exactly? Words on a page? What's that all about?
And if you're still sensitive about it all, see one of my other posts from today - the medication I'm on doesn't stop me being an a...hole; just makes me less of one.
I was just thinking the other day, after an encounter with a little austistic boy, how much I could identify with him. In fact, I was so emotionally detached as a child that my own mother thought I might be autistic. I still struggle to relate with the emotional realm outside of the husk that is both my being and my prison. And sometimes, like today, it shows.
If you can explain to an emotional retard like myself how what I posted was wrong, then I guess I'll apologise. Until then I'll just have a stunned look on my face and say "Huh???"

Yes, but really, what difference does it make? Who cares?
I do - I'm very facts oriented. A story without all the facts is like just about any old yarn spun by the 'Tower.
is it any coincidence that the society have made the main article in the august 2006 awake!
about blood?.
what with shunned father's lawsuit, and kerry's article on the misrepresentation of blood by the watchtower, it strikes me as too convenient for wts to have a whole article on blood.. a quick summary.
Ugh, I feel so angry when I hear about this! It's so ridiculous. Obviously, I WANT them to change their blood policy. There is no reason for any more innocent children (or adults) to die needlessly over this crap.But still... I guess I would just be so mad if they changed their minds and told the dubs it's up to their "conscience" now, too. Either way, I am mad. I cannot help but think about the people that died needlessly... the people that were shunned for having blood transfusions... the family and friends of those who have already died. What then? That will be so entirely devestating for them if that ever happens.
This is the corner they've painted themselves into with this silly doctrine. Change too slowly, and more people die unnecessarily, even long after the leaders have decided that the doctrine must eventually go.
Change too quickly, and the people who've lost loved ones will be furious and suing, and the whole question of the GB's God-given authority will be raised by more than a few in the R&F.

Did you ever find out what Melissa did that was supposedly so bad as to be disfellowshipped?

I think your hunch has a good chance of being right, Jourles. As we critics of 'Tower blood policy all know, that small word packs a powerful punch in this whole debate. That the Tower are using the word could well mean they're paving the way for new light, IF they choose to introduce it.
It could also be something the moderates in Writing have introduced in order to create a situation whereby the blood doctrine can be backed away from. As such it could always be canned by Jaracz's conservatives.
But if they DO introduce the change, how to do it? Such a major reversal would be difficult to hide in the QFR section, one of their favoured methods for discarding old light. Would they have the balls to have major articles detailing and explaining the change? We certainly have lived to see interesting times!

This is because every criminal in the United States is allowed to commit only one major crime each year! This was the result of the little known Crime Rationing Law passed by Congress after World War II.
There is actually a statute in Texas that someone intending to commit a crime must give the victim 24hours notice beforehand, and include the time and nature of the crime. Really!
