The wine symbolizes blood, it is not blood literally. The very idea of drinking real human blood would be revolting to the annointed, even if it would be Jesus' own.

I?m sure that one question that they will be asking me is: D o you believe that Jehovah is using the Organization as his only approved channel of communication? Or some other variation of that question. What is the best way to answer that in an honest way (without saying NO and getting df?d) and still be able to not get df?d? Any and all comments would be appreciated. Also are there other loyalty questions they might ask I should be prepared for?

Adriana was Disfellowshipped!
by Swan indid anyone else see the sopranos sunday night?
did anyone else notice the creepy similarities between them and the jws?
they even mentioned the witness protection program, which reminded me of the old joke we have.. the mob is such a metaphor for high control groups like the jws.

There sure are Dacheech!
In the world of the mafia, informers are litterally wacked for acting against La Famiglia. In the JW world, people who go against La Famiglia are spiritually killed off.
