is it time for the jws to renew their blood cards or something?!

the reason i ask is because my mother mentioned that i need to get my advance directives in order and be sure to keep the no blood card on me at all times, blah blah blah, and do i need any help in getting it all organized.. .

i mentioned to her that i don't need any help, i worked in the healthcare field for a long time.

or does anyone know someone who has moved from america to australia that i could get in touch with?.

i'm wondering how difficult a move would be, how much $$ it takes, etc.. i know the australian government won't consider granting immigration unless the candidate has job skills and/or education.

this is not a problem.

supposedly about the same time as the bethel visitor's dress code brochure, talks were being given in kh concerning women showing cleavage.. i don't know.

i haven't heard any of these talks myself, but my folks tell me they have.

they also told me about the talks given in other congregations (reported to them by their friends).. i guess some cos, pos, etc.

Experiences with so called "minorities" as JWs

i was thinking the other day that by and large, i had more positive experiences with black jws and other "minorities" in the borg.

not completely 100% as there are a-holes in every "race," but for the most part, the black jws were more loving, accepting, and tolerant than the white jws.. i haven't had much experience with hispanic jws but the few i've had, were pleasant.. this isn't to say that a lot of the white jws weren't kind, on the contrary, many were.

i just find it interesting that when i tally up all the negative vs. positive experiences with other jws, i haven't had many negative ones with black jws.

when the iron curtain fell in the 90's, my parents went to russia with a group of other jws.

since then, they've taught themselves russian and now go over about every 3rd year.

they also work the russian territory here once a month and spend about 10 hours traveling around in a 100 mile radius.

please tell me there are some other metal fans in here besides me!

some of you mentioned receiving flack from the elders because you listen to rap, but surely there has got to be some other rock n' roll and metal fans in here.

i still remember the flack i got for listening to 80's music, classic rock n' roll (loved jethro tull, doors, pink floyd, and so on), and worst of all.....heavy metal!

recently a few threads have remarked upon how restrictive the jws have become in the last decade or so in terms of activities and the amount of freedom alloted to individuals.. well, i can ballpark estimate when it started in my area.

it was the mid to late 80's.

throughout most of the 80's, my congregation frequently had potlucks and days at the park when all the local congregations would gather for fellowship.. there was a lot of laughs, lots of grilling, and easy interactions with other jws.

my best friend, who is *gasp* "worldly" had a semi-major surgery monday.

she had asked me if she could recooperate at my place.

it's nice and quiet at my place and besides, she knows i'll spoil her rotten.. yesterday (thursday) i had to take her to her doctor's for a post surgery check when i got off of work.
