Also got me bloody well thinking...
by dustyb ini was just sittin here, readin my girlfriends letter (she's a jw) and she says she is so confused over the truth in a lot of things (including religion).
and it made me think about my elders study.
he was talking with me and brought up two mighty fine points that go strictly against the wt society.

Got me bloody well thinking...
by Max Divergent ini was visiting at a hospital and was in the elevator with a patient who was being transfused with a bag of bright red blood on the way back from an operation; i was mildly surprised to see the patient was old sister barbara who used to have our book study at her house!
i guessed it was cell saver blood as it's deemed ok against acts 15, but it was still weird to see a sis getting a blood transfusion.
it got me to thinking how a simple statement in acts (and the other scriptures) could be the source of so many (illogical but un-challengeable/un-discussable) rules and fine distinctions (enforced by strict penalties) as defined and amended from time to time in the watchtower...

"Millions Now Living May Never Die"?
by Scorpion in"millions now living may never die"
that is how the september 1,1989, watchtower refers to the 1918 lectures (p.13).
although the society's watchtower publications index: 1930-1985 makes dozens of references to the book and lectures as ..."will never die" i could not find a single reference to millions now living may never die.

Were your prayers ever answerd by Jehovah?
by micheal ini recall praying countless of times about very specific things, "worked in harmony with my prayers" and nothing.
anything that remotely seemed like an answer was either coincidence or my own determination to get it done.. so, how about you?
did jehovah answer your prayers or were you like me, did you feel very frustrated and guilty because they were never answered?

What Regrets Did You Have Because You Were A Witness?
by minimus inone of the biggest regrets a person might have is that they let their children become involved in the whole jw "thing".
you know---everything from the elders always cornering them to "investigate" something or even having the parents "turn in" their own kids......is there anything that you especially regret?
