JW MIL having surgery - Elders there are the "blood nazis"
by Robert7 inso my jw mother-in-law is having some rather major abdominal surgery today.
given the type of surgery, there is a chance that the blood issue may come up, where in worst case if there's a loss of blood she may need a transfusion.. so in the waiting room for the entire 3 1/2 hour surgery are two elders.
these guys don't know my mil that well, and they are not there to support her... when it comes down to it:.

Birthdays not mentioned in the new elder's handbook
by Robert7 ini just noticed this today when i was replying to another thread.
the new elders handbook doesn't even mention the word birthday, even though there's a big detailed chapter on offences requiring a judicial committee.. is it possible that celebrating birthdays is officially, according to the 'law', allowed?
i can see this being the case, where technically you're allowed to, but you would just get judged like crazy..

Scientology Ads - Scarey because they are well made
by Robert7 incheck out these ads about scientology.
scarey because they are actually well done.
imagine if the wts created high-quality ads on a national media campaign, i bet they would get more converts than wasteful door-to-door work.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1rakws6jb4.

As an active JW, did you find the Memorial to be special?
by Robert7 ineven as active jws, my wife and i always found the memorial to be anti-climatic, overhyped.
it was supposed to be the most important event of the year, but it just felt like another meeting.
i just never felt compelled to have to go.

If Atheists ruled the world
by Robert7 inthis is too funny, and scarey.
this is a video intenting to be sarcastic, but actually quotes people's quotes from christian forums.... here in the bible-belt i think twice before admitting my atheism, because there are whackos who think like in this movie.... .

by Robert7 innew show "lie to me" airs wednesday jan 21 at 8:00 est on fox.
i don't have any more information than this, but i am sure they will get into details of the jw faith!.
lie to me, the compelling new drama from the producers of 24, stars tim roth ("the incredible hulk," "reservoir dogs") as dr. cal lightman, the world's leading deception expert who studies facial expressions and involuntary body language to discover not only if someone is lying, but why.

Met a non-practicing JW at the airport - indoctronization is strong
by Robert7 ini was witnessed from a guy who has never been to meetings!.
so i was sitting at an airport bar, watching the obama parade on tv, and the guy next to me mentions to me that he likes obama, but didn't vote.
this guy does not meet the typical jw profile.
