I unexpectedly went to Bethel during my last vacation. I wore running shoes with my nice trousers and meeting shirt but no tie = WHAT A REBEL YEAH BABY!!! While on tour one Sister turned to my wife chated...i thought "how nice." Later my wife told me she said how her husband wanted to wear more casual clothes but she stopped him etc. Bitch! If any Aussies go to Bethel check out the new "printery museum" exabition. You'll notice a couple of old health books on the shelf...I picked one up and had a read, it had weird medical advice about how "potatoes skins are full of piosons" etc. Very weird book from 1890's.

2007- Witness Meetings= Why can't women wear pants/trousers??
by Witness 007 inwhen my mum went to her first meeting she was dressed to perfection, she wore nice ladies dress trouser/pants.
the witness stuying with her told her it was "not apropriate" to wear this to the meeting...in 2006 i was in a congregation where a sister would put a skirt on over her pants she wore to work.
it looked weird, but the pants ban still is in force 2007.

To clarify again {Bluesbrother} I'm not saying blood is a miricle drug that will "cure" anything. My point is, if as a Witness you lost 2 or 3 units of blood your situation would be critical near death...my friend lost 11 units! He would be dead 2 times over at least! He would not have lasted another hour had not a hospital been close. I know of one Elder whom I loved great bloke, was in a bad car accident, the medics gave him blood, not realizing he had a blood card. {no time to check he was dying} He died anyway since his injuries were too servere. I hope the family doesn't sue.

The Calendars
by WTWizard inthe watchtower society is taking requests for calendars once again, for a "voluntary" donation to the worldwide pedophile protection society.
but, what's su special about these calendars?
after all, i went to a supermarket and bought a real one for about $10 (and that was full price, including real art work).. those theocraptic calendars are quite small.

BFD look at Rabbits story! Don't feel guilt be proud you did your best....poor Rabbit. That's a terrible thing to live with, it's not your fault.
The Hospital Liason commitee are "Gastapo SS" Elders who stand over you to make sure you die without a blood transfusion. The one in our Cong. is the rudest most arrogant Elder I have ever seen....he's not gonna be the last person I see before dying, no way!

ReStrangled = Of course doctors can't do miricles but their job is to TRY to save the life {It's expensive$$$} when your lying on the table, would you want they to say..."Scerw it pull the plug, I'm not gonna waste money on this guy." Doctors try to keep someone alive and investigate the possibility of survival. {x-ray, Cat scan etc.} If the body is too damaged of course you may not survive.

I friend of mine wen't to a night club where things got out of hand, and a drunken fight resulted in him being stabbed in the abdomen with a large knife. Rushed to hospital {lucky boy 15 min drive} he arrives looking pale and too weak to walk, he already had lost alot of blood. Taken immediatley inside for emergency treatment. He was taken by chopper {blood bag hanging over him} to a specialist hospital and survived...but barely. Out of "Witness" curiosity I later asked the doctor "how much blood did he need?" The Doc. replys :"He needed about 11 units, he's lucky to be alive." The blood drianed from my I face and I felt like I was going to faint...I felt sick.
The thing is the Watchtower tells us that you can survive on a small amount of blood and use "volume expanders" or drugs to increase red cell output etc. but in the end this is only good for "planned" surgery. So my message is this:
IF YOU CARRY A BLOOD CARD AND HAVE A "MAJOR" ACCIDENT OR INJURY- YOU WILL DIE!
Make sure you understand this. When they pull your son/daughter out of a smashed car, {or stabbing shooting, fall off a roof} chaces are that little card will end their life. {11 bags remember that number} What is it like to lose blood? Due to lack of oxygen in the blood, the patient breaths 100 times faster then normal...when exhusted by this he will need to be put on a resporator...and slowly die. Are you sure you want this for your child/self? Look up ALL articles on "blood" in the "Watchtower Index"....it will shock you how this doctrine has mutated and changed and been warped over the years.
Are you sure your doing the right thing in God's eyes? Check all the Watchtower facts before anything like this happens to you or your family.
