ok mox, but you're not talking about another minor (sic) adjustment - if they say 'blood is okay', then to even think otherwise would be a 'disfellowshipping offence' in the eyes of the faithful r&f - they would blindly follow and, lets face it, they'll be releived that this issue is dead and buried

JW's blood as to Mormon's polygamy
by Moxy ini think in time, the blood transfusion doctrine will fade away very similarly to mormon's polygamy doctrine.
the doctrine met with increasing legal pressure from the state and internal dissent from more liberal members.
the tide seems to have turned after the doctrine was about 50 or 60 years old (i am using 1830s as origin date) and from about 1900 on, the lds church no longer offically sanctioned the belief.

Leave your cadaver to medical science ??????
by alliwannadoislive ininteresting little thought .... i've decided to dedicate my body to medical school, and just before i die, i'm going to swallow a little plastic toy.
that way, the medical student who cuts me open will get a nice surprise.
i just hope the other medical students aren't sad because they didn't get a toy with their cadaver, too.

2 Questions:-
1 Would you dedicate your body to medical science? and
2 What would you swallow just before dying for your student to find? -

WTC Disaster Prediction?
by Stephanus intake a look at this picture:.
this is the picture mentioned in this article: http://www.stuff.co.nz/inl/index/0,1008,1059946a11,ff.html.
does anyone agree with the article that this is an accurate depiction of the events of september 11, or like me, do you think that the image and the events are totally unrelated?

mox, i think the analogy is a good one, but once the borganisation declares against the blood doctrine then i can't see anyone holding on to it
unless, of course, they are loonies and go off declaring their own splinter-group religion - for such a group to be successful, they would have to do a rutherford and wrench away the legal borganisation and the watchtower mag ...

Teachers - What we do without them ?
a series of articles about teachers - how valuable a resource they are - it strikes me as a recruitment drive - and no mention anywhere of how 'our young people would better serve our god by not wasting three further years in education' ...Dangerous Sports
an article on hot air ballons - a dreamy, almost poetic account of recreational hot air ballooning ... 'In our next issue - bungee jumping' ... -

Leave me alone.I need my space don't you?
by Mindchild inleave me alone...a survey.
ever since i released the news about the island project im working on, a lot of my online friends have told me that they would probably go crazy if they found themselves on an island.
maybe they are right but ive been wondering ever since just how much interaction people really enjoy with others in their life.. i know im an introvert and enjoy spending a lot of time by myself but i also enjoy spending some time with others as well.

The elders really piss me off
by butalbee inokay, so i'm there at work, working merrily along[not], when elder wart nose comes over by me, and asks me questions about this anti-jw site, that he's heard about.
i ask him, where he got his info, "he's got his resources" he says.
so, i'm like, "so fucking what?".
