Did you say "I love you?"
by serendipity ini grew up in an emotionally constipated family.
my parents didn't hug us or tell us they loved us.
they were slightly affectionate with each other, but i don't think i ever heard them express their love for each other, in front of us kids.

Fruit vs Blood
by moomanchu ini used this line of reasonong with my jw mom with limited sucess.
the scriptures:.
genesis 3:3 you must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden , and you must not touch it, or you will die.. genesis 9:4 but you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it .. me "jehovah says you must not eat blood, period.

Excellent argument, I hope you do not mind if I use it.
Please do, btw I think your site has excellent info on blood.
- Accept WTS does not know what it is talking about and realise Blood Transfusions are acceptable
- Become hardline and reject blood fractions as wrong
I hope they choose option #1.

To live to be 100, think about this?
by free2beme inlast week we had a birthday party for my friends great grandfather, he turned the big 100. he is living with his children, and has his own room and actually does pretty good for someone of 100. he can talk to you, remembers things, but he has his moments ... he is 100. we were all talking about the way the world has changed for this man, in 100 years.
he was born in a time, when cars were not common and only the superweathly had them.. ww1 and ww2 had not happened yet.. the titanic was not built, and had not sunk.. there were still many thousands of veterans alive from the civil war.. computers started to get popular in his 70's.. he lived through the great depression in his 30's.. ... so many more.
so i was thinking, if you were to live to be 100, what things would you reflex on as major changes in events.

I had this type of discusion with my JW brother in law. He had a JW argument that all the major changes in the world were before 1914, and nothing really major has come about since.He was talking about major things like electricity, phones,cars.
Needless to say I wasted a lot of breath that night.
I remember when there was no such thing as a handheld calculator.

I tried to resubmit the pics. For some reason they disappeared.
Anyhow the pics are of the 2007 memorial invitation that was sent to me.
Who is that man?
I think it should say Who is this man? He's still around isn't he?

When discussing blood with JW's I found this line of argument produces some brain activity:
Take the hard line, argue that absolutely no blood what so ever should enter our bodies.
Make them defend the WT stance that Jehovah does allow fractioned blood.
Tell them you don't want to be part of an organization that doesn't follow what Jehovah requires.
If it accomplishes nothing at all it's sort of fun to turn the tables on them.

I used this line of reasonong with my JW mom with limited sucess. It goes like this:
The scriptures:
Genesis 3:3 You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden , and you must not touch it, or you will die.
Genesis 9:4 But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it .
Me "Jehovah says you must not eat blood, period. JW's say if you fraction it you can have it."
To which mom says "thats right thats right".
I then say "If only Eve would have peeled that skin off the fruit or, if she had a juicer she could have just drank the juice. If only she would have just fractioned that fruit then she could have had it and we wouldn't be in this mess."
Mom "but but they weren't to touch it either". Me " they could have fashioned some fig gloves or got a stick and knocked it off and then smashed it on the ground". Heck once they got that Knowledge juice in them it would have been no time before they woud have made an automatic picking machine and fractionator for fruit.
Mom doesn't like how this is going then it's on to the next subject.
I think I saw the JW froze brain engine turn over one time though.
