  How Would You Explain The Stupidity Of The Blood Doctrine?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems like the witnesses are going to be told that they they now can take blood---at least some of it!

  i asked my mom a few minutes ago if she would take blood fractions and she said "no!".

  i gave her a head's up on what to expect from the new km.

  Jews who ate blood were not killed, simply given a reprimand.

  Also they were allowed to sell unbled animals to Gentiles.

  These issues are discussed here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/104153/1.ashx

  I take hand garden tools and a pail and I edge the stones.

  That's interesting. Have you been doing this for several years? Any particular reason why you do this?

  Would You/Do You Remain As A JW "Technically"???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  technically, since i am not df'd or dissasociated, i am considered by witnesses as an inactive jw.

  i do not actively look to get df'd as i have family that are witnesses.

  if i were ever df'd, then i'd deal.

  I have given some thought to announcing formally my DA. Then I stopped myself, because to me that would just be playing by their rules. I don't owe any of those "elders" any explanation for my being "inactive" as they like to call some faders.

  I'm not very different in my personality. My biggest difference is that I rely on myself to make decisions and not on a bunch of old guys in Brooklyn.

  here's one: you can't give blood but you can take a blood fraction (which someone else has to give).

  The JW are very quick to refuse "literature" from another church, or denomination from other people.

  They only want others to read their magazines propaganda.

  Name Things Witnesses Make Big Deals Over

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  have you ever seen a witness get absolutely giddy over placing a measly tract with a neighbor and get up on the platform and tell the "experience" of how the neighbor actually said that he'd read it!

  big deal!!!.

  in our hall, they loved to applaud over the dumbest things!

  At the kindumb hall, it is a no no for a man and woman to sit next to each other unless they are engaged or married.

  If a person went to college before becoming a JW it's OK. If another person goes to college after becoming a JW they're "materialistic."

  the Daily-Dedicate-a-Song-to-a-Special-Someone Thread

  by Crumpet in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  rather than hijack another thread and inspired by fullofdoubtnow and dedpoets music for the wedding thread i thought i would start a little "dedications" thread - this isn't the sort of dedication symbolised by dunking though!.

  (i expect to see ggbg and ofg here forthwith for some romantic dedications).. i'd like to dedicate the following to someone special - "bodies - by drowning pool" .

  they probably wont see this, but the thought that counts!.
