HeartofaBoy: Make sure you don't take on the personality of the bone donor

HeyThere: i just had surgery too and opted for blood if needed. guess i was selfish as well.
You are SO going to die with me at Armageddon!
Notsurewheretogo: Just as well you never went to a spirit medium as demons manifest themselves as tentacle like creatures and attach themselves to the medium's spine...
What the... HUH? That sounds like something that old drunk came up with... uh, what's his name... Rutherford? Was that really in a magazine somewhere or did you make it up?
Given the history of lunatic ideas in old literature, it makes sense to ask.

"It's feeding. If you take it into your body it's called feeding!"
I even told them I would accept a blood transfusion if necessary. Unfortunately I didn't get to have any. Eh... there's always next time.
Have you cannibalized another human for your own selfish healthcare like me?
the next time a jw asks you the questions in the title, just tell them about the "two by twos" and the "cooneyites".. they have some similar beliefs as jws but are even more zealous in putting kingdom interests first, living far simpler and less materialistic lives than even zealous jws.
they reject the triniy as unscriptural.
they preach in twos.
And there are fewer Two by Twos and Cooneyites than there are Jehovah's Witnesses. That means that THEIR road is even cramped-er and narrow-er and THAT, folks, is solid evidence that Jesus selected them over all other religions.
wife is reading hassan's book right now.
classic to sit back and watch the veil be lifted.
shes been awake for about a 1.5 years now.
I've only read his first one, Combating Cult Mind Control. I understand he has written two more since, with one focusing more on how to help family/friends wake up and escape.

dear daniel,.
marked
the new arrangement for co's to handle deletions (and appointments) means you no longer will be able to give your friends on the body an excuse and step down.
you will have to answer to the co and most likely have a long uncomfortable chat about everything with him in order to step down.
so if you have been thinking about stepping down, you need to do it quick before the new arrangement..
old guy + tight pants = please don't do it that way
Not even MY people want to see you do it that way.
been lurking for years, but couldn't log on.
for some reason, my email spam filter is inaccessable, and ended up having to open another account, simply to become a member... wonder how many others have had a similar problem.. its been an eye opener reading everyones life experiences, often so similar.. i was almost a born in, with a hardcore family.
abusive stepfather who was one of the original jws in the area, so much so, that it was called the xxxxx family religion.... been out for 25 years, am glad every day for that!!.
Welcome Mikado.
Hope you find what you're looking for.
live your life to the fullest and try to put the past behind you..
If only it were that simple - especially the put-it-behind-you part.
It's still good advice.
what if right in the middle of rolling out their latest money-grabbing scheme, there was an uprising demanding financial transparency?.
i thought jehovah was a god of organization and numbers.
isn't that why we report time and have all these annual reports?.
Even IF they ever agreed to provide such a report, do you think for a second it would accurately reflect what's going on at Bethel, Patterson, etc...? That report would be as embellished as the Revelation Climax book.
