  I heard this story before many years ago. I always thought it was more legend than fact. Do you know this happened or only heard the same story I heard?

  There was this one new boy that got jumped walking to the squib building from the 124, by 2 thugs. It guess he was a black belt before coming into the borg. He kick their asses one guy was dragging the other guy back to their car and begging him to stop the beating. He went to George Couch Bethel home overseer, the next day to turn himself in, George said don't worry about it. He was our hero, we loved him.

  If YOU had to make the decision, would you respect a JW relatives wish to refuse a blood transfusion?

  a few years after i quit the meetings my mum needed her medical directive signed and witnessed and she asked if i'd do it.

  i was surprised to say the least!.

  i think she was just angling to include me and maybe find some lever to get me involved again.

  My story is not as dramatic as some, but hear it goes.

  My father was near the end of his life. His kidneys shut down and was undergoing dialysis. It was apparent that he was anemic and needed a transfusion. I talked with the nurse and explained that my father grew up a witness and would not want blood at this point in his life.

  I decided to intervene out of respect for him. There was little downside to the decision, his time was limited and if blood helped sustain his life it would have been only for an extra few days.

  If a year is really 365 1/4 days why 360 days to calculate 1914

  doesn't that throw off the date?.

  *** w51 6/15 p. 383 questions from readers ***.

  in establishing the length of the seven times of the gentiles, a time or year of 360 days is used, to give 2,520 days, which become 2,520 years when ezekiel 4:6 is applied.

  The year A.D. 1878 … clearly marks the time for the actual assuming of power as King of kings

  The 1878 date was ignored and everyone forgot, died, or both. Something tells me in a few years 1914 will be ignored and the GB will simply wait for everyone to forget and die.

  he provides no answer only just ignore the question. Good luck with that strategy.

  I wonder why he focused on the teenagers.

  Very interesting - I was grasping TTATT, at the time we were studying the Revelation book. It was when I read the box about 606-607, it finally clicked.

  i just watched this clip on youtube....i can't begin to say how it made me feel.

  , i'm not sure who i am more annoyed about.

  the bloke doing the commentry, the punk shouting at a serious and should be respectful religious event, or some of the youtube comments that follow.. and i find this so disrespectful.

  That was embarrassing. It certainly does nothing other than to add to the promoted idea that apostates are mentally diseased.

  Perhaps this was the same congregation that made sure that all brothers wore white shirts.
