if you make a deal with god, should you keep your side of the deal?.

Yea the 19 a**holes that blew up the twin towers in NY, Pentagon, and downed a loaded in PA, they had FAITH the that were going to receive 50 virgins each on the 'other side'. Faith is a useful tool if used for the right reasons------and based on something besides a 'good feeling'.

gorby and his lovely wife had during dinner a chat about watchtower hypocrisy.
she faded with me since 2007 and shows sometimes affection for the organization.. we talked about the gb and ray franz.. she asked me if she could read my ray franz books.. now i have a dilemma.
the books gave me a hard time in the '90.. i know the ray franz truth can hurt and shock her so much.
She'll probably 'jump your bones' because you will bring her so much joy and extasy. Ray's books were the best things that happened to me on the road to freedom.

brother lett was giving the last talk of the day about what they supposedly accomplished in 100 years.
i was just waking up so im paraphrasing alittle(i was dosing off all day) anyways in his introduction he said.
"there is more evidence to prove gods kingdom on the earth is a reality than wind,electricity and gravity is a reality on the earth".
I also enjoyed how Steve Lett, after explaining the "nu understanding " about the 3rd heaven (BS) contained in first Cor., said at the end of his convuluted explanation, (and I loosely paraphrase what he said " Now I won't go into what we (JW'S) use to believe on this subject---BECAUSE IT WILL JUST CONFUSE YOU!" No SH**T, that is what he said. Wow, we sure don't want to be confused with TRUTH now, do we?

found this excellent video from a non-jw discussing the may 22 1994 awake that brags about dead children.

I've know 2 brothers that died who had a reasonable chance of surviving had they taken a blood transfusion. What a sick doctrine we jw's have. Nice to know that jw's can now "accept" blood 'fractions'. Praise jehober and the gobbering body of jw's for the 'nu-lite'. What is with the loving, kind, tender, wonderful god jehober anyway? Since the time of Abel, jehober has been requiring blood sacrifices and the slaughter of the animals to appease him?

i am at the assembly and the last speaker of the day is doing some boring and cliche talk about trusting in jehovah and not being anxious and stuff.
then he starts into this story about this 11 year old boy named nigel who has cancer and is going to have a court ordered blood transfusion.. i am getting up to leave because i am thinking he is going to start into some story about he managed to get out of it and died for jehovah or something like that.
the speaker never finishes the story about what finally happened.
Most of the 'tear jerker' or 'pulling on the heart strings' stories at conventions are concoctions or embellishments. Of course the real names are never used so that the story can never be substanciated.
FYI I attendedthe Long Beach, CA (USA) RC this past weekend. 9,000 attended--------40 dipped.Mostly 'kids'.

just saw a facebook post from an acquaintance who just went to the international convention in dallas, tx.
according to his post, there were approximately 50,000 in attendance on sunday, with 468 baptized.
there were an additional 9 conventions tied to this one, with an attendance of approximately 100,000 and 609 baptisms total, including dallas.
attending Long Beach convention. 9,000 in attendance, 40 got dipped. .4 %. LOL

some souls here may feel i was a little harsh.
if so, i am deeply sorry.
i was abused by a handful right from the start, presumably on the basis of the avatar picture (and 2001 vintage).. when visiting dubland, i often find that others start fights with me - for whatever reason, and i provide quite a supply of them - and when it doesn't quite go the way they expected, they cry persecution.
Did the "great flood" not make jehoba the greatest mass murderer of all time? What the hell did the domestic animals do to deserve drowning?

would you say this board gives accurate information, overall?
if someone started reading the comments here, do you think they would find this discussion board as accurate?.
We are all experts on our OWN opinion. So OUR opinion is always accurate--right?

some days ago two elders visited my sister because she has not been attending the meetings more than one year.
this time she prepared notes containing watchtower past teachings about the blood ban so as to ask them for those changes, and it seems that the elders were also prepared for her past questions.
for instance she showed them that "albumin" was considered "under scriptural ban" in 1956 (read the page 20 of awake, september 8).
It is very strange the the org has been sooooo silent on the blood issue for several years now. Just don't talk about it and it will go away? Works if you haven't lost a loved one or friend because of the absolutely stupid blood ban.
