2. beliefs
then why would they be so insistent about dfing people ?

if it's money the watchtower org is after, it seems like they'd want to hold on to all the members they can.. how would you answer this logic?.

Donating Blood
by Pete Zahut in
1. jw
2. friends
ask the next jw you encounter or who happens to showsup at your door, whether or not it is permissible , because of the new light regarding blood fractons, for jehovah's witnesses to donate blood so long as they specify in writing that their blood be spun down into fractions before it is used for medical purposes.. i did.....it's interesting to watch their eyes glaze over.. i'm thinking of calling bethel and asking the same question..

i have a relative by marriage, who is gay.

she has been shunned since she was 19 when she "came-out" to the family just a few weeks before she and an older married sister in the hall ran off together.

this pretty 19 year old had been babysitting for a married sister since she was in jr. high school.

2. friends
i was thinking about the thousands upon thousands of posts that have been made on this site over the years and all the valuable information contained in them.

i was also thinking about all the years that this site was in existence before i stumbled upon it.. i wondered if from now on, if each person making a post on this site, put the words jw.org at the end of the title of their post or somewhere in the body of their post itself, if it would somehow drive those who are looking for jw.org to this site instead?.

for example "what's up with those new literature carts ?

i saw a photo on facebook of a jw couple i know, apparently you can now get your photo taken with the stars of the jw animated children's videos, at patterson.

i've tried to share it here but it isn't showing up.. basically, you stand in different cartoon scenes of the door to door activity, holding a bookbag and the hand of one of the children's characters from the viedo.

the houses are pastel colored, the cartoon brothers are wearing brightly colored shirts and ties , no jackets.

2. bible
"build it and they will come".

i said, " in a world filled with crappy fast food restaurants that should never have made it, movies and tv shows that are terrible yet make millions, celebrities who are famous for doing nothing and butt ugly crappy cars that were built and sold by the millions; if you put "it" out there and are consistant about it, people will eventually find you.

no matter how bad mcdonalds food is for you and (tastes) there will always be a line of people out the door.
