Jesus is his earthly name, Michael is his heavenly name
by bruh2012 ini know this topic has been discussed before on this forum, but as it goes in jw world we need reminders.. co said in his last talk i can't remember the title in speaking about jesus, that when jesus returned to heaven he resumed his name michael.
jesus was his earthly name.. through the entire rest of the bible after his ressurection not one reference is made about this.
case in point----when jesus oh wait michael pulled saul over and talked to him, he introduced his self as jesus.

Transfusion Experience from France
by Bells inlong story short - my in-laws know that i strongly disagree with their blood doctrine.
i received 3rd degree burns as a toddler and without blood, i would have died.
no doubt this is much of the reason that i feel the way i do.. my mil sent me an article, saying that i might find it of interest - in other words, it is an example to 'refute my contradictions about blood transfusions'.

this is tragic.

Help get my FB page to 200 likes!
by ILoveTTATT ini have a fb page that exclusively posts excerpts from wt publications in english and then translates them to spanish.
the format of the page is like this: i post an excerpt from september 1879, september 1880, 1881, etc... until 1970 (when the spanish wt cd has the rest of the publications).... i am finding it hard to get more likes since i post very nice and friendly and inviting comments on spanish jw pages, but i get banned after three attempts... meanwhile, i get approximately 30 likes from each time i post on the other pages.
my page is friendly and does not look at all "apostate"... just simply posts wt literature and translates it.. i want to get it to 200 likes or more, without spending money on advertising.

Now I'm not a JW, is it ok for me to...
by Julia Orwell in...drink a lot?
gosh i love wine.
i like a good bottle of wine each night, and i have a high tolerance to alcohol, though i never drank much (except for a couple of times with the vodka, but i don't keep that stuff in the house anymore, way too dangerous) as a jw because getting slightly happy is a 'sin'.

Aust. Election in 1 week - A review of Kevin Rudd, PM
by fulltimestudent ini'm still determined not to vote - just to write something unpleasant about pollies on the ballot paper.
if i lived in victoria, i just may, as an act of sheer bastardry, vote for julian assange (of wikileaks fame), but i don't live in vic, so i cant.. my objection to voting is that the political choice offers two self-perpetuating oligarchies (who are something like the governing body).
they make up a slate of candidates and election advertising consists of attempting to persuade swinging voters to vote for their slate of candidates.. anyway, i noted that k.rudd has made a video in chinese, aimed apparently at mainland china.
