  International Convention...Same Message, Same Emotional Manipulation

  well, of course nothing else would be expected, but it passes me off.. for example, they show this short video that shows a child dying, shows her father crying as he visits her grave...and then she is reunited with her family in "the new system" and then it shows a handicapped girl who is sad she can't ice skate with friends...fast forward to tns, she can skate!!!

  then an elderly couple is shown happily young again.... .

  and of course the end is "so close!

  i've been given permission to post news of our friend.. kate hasn't been very well.

  not well at all.

  i think much of it has been a delayed reaction to her df'ing, the general fallout when leaving the wtbs and family issues.. i just wanted to give you guys the heads up and give you a chance to show how much we care about her.. thanks for listening..

  They also had a speaker who went on a random speel about pets and not focusing to much attention on pets and that pets are basically just for entertainment and we don't want entertainment and hobbies such as pets to distract our service to jehovah

  HeyThere

  Heaven, I have asked for certain doctrines to be proven by the bible...and so far no one has been able to support the doctrines in question from the bible, only by referring to wt pubs. So while I agree...The wtbts doesn't even base their brand of crazy on the bible.

WTBTS has certainly found a way to capitalize on people's fears and wishes. Oh, and donation boxes are like every 5 feet.

  No Refusal Blood Checkpoints!

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  in oregon, during the 4th of july weekend, troopers will be conducting checkpoints to see if someone has been drinking.

  if someone refuses a breath test, they will be forced to have their blood extracted from them.. what do you think of this?.

  HeyThere

  Problemaddict....agreed. drunk drivers kill people...just take the dang breath test then the blood thing doesn't matter. Cops don't want to just be out there taking blood from everyone, they probably don't feel great joy at that whole concept...that is another risk for them! Think of some of the people they will have to test?!!?! Yikes!
