so my wife is pushing me to go out in the ministry this weekend for the special dc invite tract work.
i really do not want to go in fs, haven't been out in years.
i don't even plan on counting the time if i do end up going.
Go for the over slept idea excuse.
Do you and your wife drink? Have some beer or wine and have a fun late friday night, then let nature take its course.I like your idea of writing the web sites on the tract. Does the WT put their web site on the tract? Maybe you could cross that one out.
the august 2006 awake, makes the claim that there is no benefit to blood transfusion except in trauma, according to proffessor bruce spiess:.
there are few if any (medical) articles that supposrt transfusion actually improving outcome.
" in fact, he writes that many transufusions 'may do more harm than good in virtually every instance except trauma,' increasing 'the risk of pneumonia, infections, heart attacks and strokes.'.
Very informative thread thanks
I had to post the caption from the awake. My wife works in a medical lab and this is just to funny lol .
WT wisdom:
"Some medical workers are very cautious about coming into contact with blood"
Duhh really, boy if they're scared to touch it, I surely don't want it in my veins.
"i was put up against a wall the last years of my life, always depressed, hopeless and miserable.
even though i was married and had a family i was alone, no one to confide in, no one to turn to, always in fear that my doubt would be discovered and i would become an outcast ( more so ).
i was lucky enough to have my apostate brother refer me to this site.
Jeh os phat,
I came here thinking it was a forum for JW's...Look at the name of this forum and you will see why I though that.
In case your still lurking I am not df'ed or da'ed I'm an inactive JW.
Also read right below the forums name all wecome !
People here base their hated towards the whole of the WTS on the actions of imperfect man. Jehovah has always used imperfect man to look after his people and his earthly organisation and has they are imperfect they make mistakes or they even do something that is not right in the eyes of Jehovah.
So we have imperfect men making mistakes in an imperfect orginasation with imperfect rules.
BUUUUTTTTTTTT, thou shall follow them perfectly.
jehosofat, try questioning the elders about 607vs.587 and the relashionship of 1914 to them, see where that gets you.

Scout575,
I actually don't have a problem with God setting conditions, I'm for it.
I'm against men and orginasations who teach mans rules as if they were from God.
just heard his interview on conan o'brien... .
his father was a jw..mother was a baptist.. .
thought it was hilarious...his dad told him it would explode if he touched it>

What does this mean?
Cults do not discriminate in their membership.
The Christian Science cult sure likes Hollywood.
the origins of jehovah is the irish letter jodh, which gave rise to the hebrew yod, the first letter of god's name.
this letter jodh or yodh (the greek iota) is our modern "i" and "j.
" the irish druids associated this letter with the tree we refer to as the yew (from yeu or yodh).
Ms whip,
I hope this wasn't a baptism.

Hi foreverjw welcome to JWD,
ask yourself if you want true unconditonal love
Think about what this really means, ever watch tv talk shows and parents talk about loving there kids.The parents hate the things their kids are doing, but they are there for them and continue to love them no matter what.
Now think about the WT and their shunning policy, I'm sorry but that is conditional love, if you don't meet the WT's conditions you will not be loved.
I remember talks that told bros and sis to seek out the friendship of those who were strong spiritually
to build yourself up. This used to piss me off because it basicly means elders MS pioneer good friends,
publishers ok friends on sliding scale according to field service hours, irregular and inactive BAD FRIENDS.
Great encouragement to start even more clicks in the cong.
in denmark, jehovas witness are beginning to get santas witness as a nick name, becourse of all the lies and false argument they make.
the "copy and paste pioneerss", from the wathtower magasine, with false qoutes, and things taken out of contekst, what reverse the mening they aktuli say.
it is normal to conclude, what people who lies, is inspiret of satans, but a organisation, who say everybody outside jehovas withnes is under satans domaen, and then recoment to lie to hide the trueness of the organisation.
Hi pallemar welcome to JWD,
the lie i get most is, "Jehovas withnes is very tolerant, to other religiens, and celebrate the fredom og religion" if what is true, i'm a cow.. MUHH!
Me too (not) Mooooooooooo
this one ranged all over the place.
i post these because i am hoping someone can give me additional advice.
wife: why didn't you want to read the daily text to the kids?
She is among the sizeable group of JW's who believe that they can pick and choose their beliefs from the JW smorgasboard, and yet still call themselves JW's as long as they keep quiet about it.
Too true, I feel the way you do. Either accept it all, or reject it all. No sitting on the fence.
I would probably have been just as in her face as you were if not more, I'd say you won that battle but
you might end up losing the war. Just more It takes years to program, it will take years to deprogram.
On your original argument I love to use this one:
Since only JW,s and people who have not rejected JW,s (those who were not preached to) are the only ones to survive armageddon, stopping field service would actually help "worldly People".
enjoy moo
did rose ball sit on c.t.
russell's lap?
did they caress each other?
If Maria was lying about Roses addmition to her,
Chuck would want Rose in the court room to destroy Marias testimony.
Rose would want to be in court to clear her own name.
She wasn't, something is very fishy .
When was Rose sent to Aust. and what was the reason given ?
