im new to this forum, most topics up for discussion are usa centric, and thus for us euro,s are boring, like whats on your tv chanels, wtf, who cares what your watching on tv,i dont come here to listen to that, either promote something intresting, or shut the hell up .
It's dominated by Simon, who is English but lives in Canada. The language of choice is English. But there are a good deal of Ouzzies, and British and Africans, Latino's , Italians, . What we all have in common is the english language.
As to the topics, there are so many topic headings, you can pick and choose what you like.
This is an amazing forum.....please don't critisize it

Thanks Belbab! And sorry about your sister. There have been some strides with Lupus lately but it is still an insidious disease.

not too many threads like these but i thought this forum could use one.
not going to use the inexperience or ignorance excuse.
nor am i going to excuse that i was a born in.. plain and simple: i was an idiot for believing in the jehovah witness religion.. okay, no cat pictures.. .
I was an idiot too I guess!!!!!
about 4 years ago i sent a letter to the watchtower society asking them why taking blood fractions was a conscience matter and taking components of blood was a removal matter.. if i can figure out how to post the pdf of their reply i will post it here.
i was removed as an elder soon after receiving their letter the co we had at the time had a copy of my letter to them and also the letter they sent to me.
any suggestions on how i can post the letter would be appreciated.. .
Idrnomo' s letter is not up there, only society's reply. But from the reply you get a pretty good idea of what the letter was all about.
a brother called me to ask who was delivering the talk at our hall.
i didn't know what he was talking about.
he then explained to me that this week, for the local needs, congregations across the us will have a brother deliver a special outline on blood transfusions.. .
It was local need this week in Canada as well!!

wondering about that letter. I dont see it up yet
what's wrong with you slackers?
huh?
enough with your excuses!!!
It's the same guilt trip they have always used. It right up there with the african sister who crosses the crocodile infested river to get to the meeting.
The dilemma is this: who will take the responsability of taking the 89 year old sister out everyday?? Someone has to step up to the plate and "babysit".
There is a very old brother in my area. He is out every single day. He does not drive and is very bossy. Dubs shudder when its their turn to pick him up. No offence to seniors but he has become a burden on others.
i will never forget the saturday, i was in field service about 10 years ago.
we came to this one house, a man in mid- thirtys came to the door, we preceded give our sermon the man said i m very, very grateful i dont believe the way you do!my friend and me looked at each other a little confused.
the man said in again i really thank god, i dont believe the way you do.
I do remember those articles discouraging couples to have children. I was also present at one district convention in the mid eighties, where the district overseer gave a talk entitled "Responsible procreation". He said loud and clear that this was not the time to bring children in the world.
I was not married at the time- and being the loyal dub I always was and lapping all that was being said----I decided then and there that I would not have children in the system, but continue to spend my days pioneering.
I carried this resolve into my marriage---Thank God for the unplanned arrival of a child----if this had not happened I would have been childless.
I hate this organization for the controlling peoples lives and doing a good job at ruining them too
