  Thoughts on The KM Blood insert

  hello people, i live in australia so maybe this is old news to you guys who live in the usa, but in the australian nov km its has an insert regarding blood, maybe you usa guys got it on oct, but it seems to me that they are watering down the blood issue,.

  for the first time they are letting the reader ask themselves the question about how their conscience would feel regarding taking blood, this has never being the case before, theyve always said a christian would not do thisa christian would not do that.

  im sure you guys have read the insert, any views????

  Little White Rabbit

  A precious little girl walks into a pet shop and asks,

  "Excuthe me, do you have any widdle wabbits?"

  The shopkeeper's heart melts,

  He gets down on his knees so that he's on her level, and says,

  "Do you want a widdle white wabbit or a thoft, fuffy bwack wabbit, or one like that widdle bwown wabbit over there?"

  The little girl blushes, rocks on her heels, puts her hands on her knees,

  Leans forward and whispers ...

  " I don't weally fink my pet pyfon gives a phuk."

  I still go to most meetings and I go witnessing too! Since I know the Truth about the 'truth' the literture doesn't affect me anymore, it just makes me think of ways I can tell other JW's.

  GOD & THE BIKER
  
  A biker was riding along a California beach when suddenly the sky
  clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said,
  "Because you have tried to be faithful to me in all ways, I will
  grant you one wish."
  
  The biker pulled over and said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can
  ride over anytime I want."
  
  The Lord said, "Your request is materialistic, think of the
  enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports
  required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel
  it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I
  can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly
  things. Take a little more time and think of s omething that would
  honor and glorify me."
  
  The biker thought about it for a long time. Finally he said,
  "Lord, I wish that I could understand my wife. I want to know how
  she feels inside, what she's thinking when she gives me the silent
  treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says nothing's
  wrong, and how I can make a woman truly happy."
  
  The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"

  the european commission has just announced an agreement whereby english will be the official language of the european union rather than german, which was the other possibility.. .

  as part of the negotiations, the british government conceded that english spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "euro-english".

  in the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c".

  As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".
  
  In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
  In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where! more komplikated changes are possible.
  
  Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
  
  Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
  
  By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
  During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.
  Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
  Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

  satan threw open a challenge to jehovah (according to jw theology) that he could turn anyone against god and that peeps only served him by what they could get out of it ( living forever on a paradise earth........um) .

  well, since yourve got to be a dedicated witness, everyone else is wrong, wicked, corrupt whatever.

  who could claim victory for this................... 6 million out of satans 6 billion.. so, id say satan is the winner.

  I don't really think a bit of meetings and field service will convince the kids, if anything it will annoy them even more and the kids will realise what fruitcakes they are, if the kids can see that you are trying to stop them from seeing the other side they will turn against you, let them see for themselves, they won't turn to JW's.
