Urgency Enigma....
by hotspur inhow come an organization that is busting all out to get people through armageddon urgently is not teaching anything about survival?
any storm predicted (weather forecast) sees people scurrying around to protect themselves.
all that seems to happen in jw land is preparation for more printing.

Do JW's donate blood?
by hotspur ini raised this point in another, short lived, thread but feel it needs more thought...... at least some other opinion.. now, before we go too far in this discussion i reckon i know the answer and it's an empahtic no!.
but.... how can they, in all conscience, receive the fractions they are now supposedly permitted to take?
is it another case of..... "living in the world but being no part of it"?

Conscience or Mind Control?
by hotspur inthis was plainly wierd.
i'm telling this story to warn others of the power of mind control.. not long after my marriage failed i met a darling photographer who has since become my wife.
i walked away from the borg, never to look back.

Secrets?
by hotspur inisn't it strange how something all of a sudden hits you smack between the eyes - even after being presented with the same 'raw' data for years?
(i was baptised in 1971.).
i've realised in all the organisations to which i've ever belonged (there have been a few) - only the jws keep their rule books (whatever you might like to call them) a closely guarded secret.

1972 Olympics
by hotspur inin 1972 my mother said to me, "make the most of this young hotspur - this will be the last olypmics ever!
" -- and with the slaughter of the israeli athletes i thought she could be right.. so, where does that leave us 40 years later?
well, dear mother was wrong and so was mother!.

What is the "tipping point"?
by hotspur ingiven that 1914 and 1975 are disappearing (rapidly?
) into the misty veils of history one thought struck me recently?.
based on the nt statement that "unless the days are cut short, no flesh will be saved" how come we are this far down the path of time with nothing happening?
