"Memorial Season". hmmmm, Oh yeah. Must be SUICIDE CARD TIME!
by Open mind inthis week is the "make sure you've got your suicide card" part on the service meeting.
all good dubs are to have pre-viewed (for the umpteenth time) the video about how bad blood is from a medical perspective and how reasonable, safe & superior no blood is.. any outrageous comments to report yet from any who have attended?.
this is one small part of the whole "memorial season".

Kids Still Get Whacked @ Armageddon. Current Light. (With Pix!)
by Open mind inif you've clicked around on other sites, you can find the troubling picture i grew up with from the old orange paradise lost book.
a big old armageddon earthquake that is swallowing up people, churches, a bicycle, a dog!
) and of course, a little girl in a dress that is indelibly planted in my memory chips.

Auxiliary Pioneer ya lazy B*$tard$!!!
by Open mind infor those who no longer get your monthly km, i thought i'd just share a little "encouraging" tidbit from the material scheduled for this week's service meeting (tm).. there's a 20 minute "regurgitate the paragraph" session entitled "pioneer or die" or something like that.
i can't remember the exact title right now, but it was one of the most blatant "beat the sheep.
you're not good enough" articles i've seen in quite a while.

FAITH DEFINED. Heb 11:1 REALLY bad in NWT. Also Richard Dawkins' definition
by Open mind ini'm still slogging through "the god delusion" by richard dawkins, thanks in no small measure to spending too much time on jwd.
anyway, at lunch today i read dawkins, simple, elegant, somewhat embarrasing definition of faith:.
belief without evidence.

JW IQ's. Below average? (Includes SM anecdote.)
by Open mind inare dub bulbs just a little dimmer than the general population?
here's a little highlight from this week's local service meeting that prompts my question.. it's the annual, 20 minute, robotic hand-pumping session conducted by the secretary trying to get everyone all hyped/guilted up for this summer's district convention.
anyway, towards the end of the q&a, there's a paragraph that talks about offering a ride to the elderly/infirm ones in your congo.
