3rd Annual Memorial of Freedom--Will You Attend? Also, 'When Prophecy Fails' by Leon Festinger
by sd-7 insd-7's 3rd memorial of freedom falls on sunday, march 10th, 2013, at sundown.
check your local news for when sundown happens in your area, so that you may pass the emblems--chocolate milk and pop tarts--in observance of liberation from the watchtower.
for review, the pop tarts represent one's body, which will no longer sit in a kingdom hall.

Interesting moment on subway today & other thoughts
by sd-7 ini was heading home today, and i saw one woman reading a new world translation.
we made eye contact, but i hope i didn't glare at her or anything... since i was already having a bout with depression today, it didn't help to see her.
so then she gets off the train, right?

The Beast-Tower Library Index--Now Available on JWN
by sd-7 inrecognizing the spiritual needs of many, and the influx of newly interested ones, the beast-tower writing committee has compiled a thorough list of the articles published by the 'discreet virgin class', for the upbuilding of honesthearted ones.
no doubt you will appreciate the many changes that have been made in our articles over the years, and thus have your faith strengthened that those whom jehovah has appointed are carrying out their god-given responsibilities thoroughly.
we encourage you to read and meditate on these articles, and in doing so, we pray that your relationship with jehovah will surely be renewed from day to day.. your brother,.

So...why is taking blood essentially viewed as unforgivable by the WT?
by sd-7 inbeen hearing about this 'grey's anatomy' episode, and while i didn't see it, it brought up a question i wanted to throw out there, albeit a long-winded one, as is my usual nature.. the fact that people would rather die than take blood, as if...if they take it, they're doomed for sure to not make the new system--it doesn't make sense to me.
people both in the organization and the bible stories are forgiven for heinous crimes, murder, adultery, child sacrifice, everything up to and including denying jesus altogether.
(let's not forget child molestation and rape, apparently...) so why does it seem like this one act is presented to jws as one that's never to be forgiven?.

Vengeance Dad Meme--I think I want to do some JW-based ones...
by sd-7 ini was just reading some random memes and came across this one.
it's truly insane, but maybe my sense of humor is such that i laughed rather hard at quite a few of the ones using this photo.
i was thinking, how could i adapt this one to jws?

I just went to the meeting tonight!
by sd-7 ini love it!
out of nowhere, the mrs. tells me that since she has a part tonight and there's nobody to watch the kids, she wants me to come with her to the meeting to watch them while she's on the platform.
i'm actually still supposed to be there, but i went home (5 minutes down the road) for a 'bathroom break'.

April 15, 2013 Watchtower - p. 22-26: Organization-Obsessed Much???
by sd-7 inthere's a study article "make sure of the more important things", and in no uncertain terms the article makes clear that "jehovah's organization" is the most important thing.
the term "organization" or "jehovah's organization" is used a whopping 24 times in the article, including a subheading titled: "follow the example of jehovah's organization".
i thought organizations were entities, but that sort of subheading makes it seem like the organization is one giant person whose example we can follow.
