  how are you feeling?.

  we weren't going... but a confrontation with family blew things up.

  we decided we are going- because we are planning on moving and this is the last jw thing.

  Blood Transfusion and Eating

  by dugout in

  i get highly irritated when this subject comes up.

  this idiot gave a talk in my hall recently and said that transfusion of blood and eating blood was the same thing.

  my wife accepts this reasoning.

  In the Book "30 years a Watchtower Slave", William Schneil wrote that at one time the GB was considering to drop the Blood issue based upon Matt 15:17 alone, but that book was written over 30 years ago, and as yet no evidence of this stance has ever been noticed.

  How to Tell When Someone Is Evangelizing to You Versus Trying to Be a Genuine Friend

  i've had this question on my mind for the last two years.

  first off, i'm still a follower of jesus.

  second, i don't go to church but rather a topical skype bible study with some fellow ex-jws.

  In the 60,s I remember some finatical schoolmates that would wear their bible on their chest and there was a term for them back then called "Jesus Freaks". If they saw you, they would love bomb you to go to their church and were so obnoxious , that if I saw one at school, I would turn the other way, kinda like not answering the door when JW,s knock. They never learned to be discrete, so I'm sure they drove more people away, than they got to go...

  Which delusion will you choose?

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it occurred to me while at today's wt study that over 100 people were wasting an hour of their life studiously examining the differences between two delusions, paradise earth and the heavenly hope.

  everyone made it sound so serious when in reality it means nothing at all.

  either choice is wrong and foolish nonsense.. it was mentioned that mark sanderson found his heavenly calling at very young age.

  This one was good, but can't seem to catch them when they are on prime time tv. My partner will not watch these if they are on the internet, but if I could catch one (accidentally ) and DVR it or see it live, we could view it together and see it was not from the internet. Anyone know the next one to be broadcast?

  Next they will bring up that some raise their hand all the time trying to show that they are the "most" righteous above the great crowd. Cant have anyone superior among the publishers.

  JW History is Pictures #2

  by Wild_Thing in

  2. friends

  this is from the february 4, 1917 edition of the sun, a newspaper in new york, ny.

  it is from a full feature article about charles taze russell and the russellites.

  the article is called "remarkable activities from unusual religious sect".

  The writer of the story must not have liked the group as noted in the 2nd paragraph when he calls the group a "queer" society. Amusing

  The proof that you are right can be seen by maybe a billion people that follow the Pope like he has magic powers over what people think. Just watching nancy reagan,s funeral and the priest says that she and Ronald Reagan are together and smiling down at us, leads to this misinformation spreading.

  Any weapons enthusiasts here?

  i knew i had a couple of firearms around the house, and one in the car.

  however, i didn't realize i had seven, yes, seven of them, when i proceeded to count them.

  the reason for that is that i haven't gone to the shooting range in years.
