from my cong .
something uneblievable just happened.. i am pomo for a while not too long though.
while we were away (i and my best friend for the weekend), i received several texts from my 2 friends, from my ex-cong ,who are pimi(but starting to have doubts) who have been asking me questions about the jdubs.the texts seemed quite urgent n serious, so got the lowdown .at the weekend meeting , 3 families walked out!.
"I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone." Robin Williams
"Loneliness is worst when you are in close propinquity with some one who has ceased to communicate." Germaine Greer.
or when your closest companion is the black dog... zeb.
I long to hear of a convention where a whole heap of people walk out.
there is so much wrong with the newly released october, 2019 but that's not unusual.
what stands out is there statement claiming that survival through armageddon depends on loyalty to those 'taking the lead'.
since they claim there will be a point during the gt that they (the gb) won't be physically around, jws must still be loyal to jw leaders.. whats interesting in this article is that they make it clear that they, the governing body are going to take part, from heaven, in the war of armageddon.
"There's also a picture in this magazine of Jesus coming with the Angels and 144,000 to destroy the wicked policemen who are about to shoot at the JWs. The JWs are all dressed in meeting clothes."
This publication will not go down well with the Police.. anywhere..

so they are going to be so organised to what?
are they saying they will be no longer around but ruling (gasp!) from heaven? whats that? Move over Jesus.
patient blood management arose out of bloodless medicine and alternatives to blood transfusions.
pbm has been accepted as the standard of care in australia and has been implemented into the health care systems of other countries such as canada.
a prominent promoter of pbm has been aryeh shander from englewood hospital in new jersey.
If I may raise a couple of things here.
also I have had surgery and the thoracic surgeon said out right he preferred not to use blood as a matter of course due to reactions that could occur.
In my case they used blood 'harvesting' recycling through filters and back to me. The hospital required 2 (just two) units of blood to be on stand by in case of 'catastrophe' which I agreed to. It was not used.
and what is the wt acceptance of parts of blood further shattering their doctrine and this thing called 'hemo-pure' which and I believe is derived from bovine blood.. yoiks!
do you find yourself, as i sometimes do, skimming through channels on the tv remote and not finding anything interesting to watch?.
growing up, we only had four channels on our tv (nbc, cbs, abc and pbs).
and yet there always seemed to be something of interest to see.. sadly, i often find myself watching shows where some guys are auctioning off storage lockers, killing alligators, picking junk from peoples' garages or barns, catching tuna, towing cars, driving trucks on the ice, catching crabs, running pawn shops ... etc etc etc.
tv is much the same here in Oz.
study watchtower september 2019, page 12, par.
16 - “....to be saved at armageddon, we must show that we “know god” and that we “obey the good news about our lord jesus.” (2 thess.
1:7-9) we “know god” when we know his likes, dislikes, and standards.
Please correct me, but I understand the name Jesus is the latin form of Yeshuah..?
the longer i am out, the the less i understand the logic of this organisation.. i thought that the kingdom hall my wife attends was perfectly fine and adequate, in fact i liked that it sat in grassy grounds, surrounded by trees.
it probably wasn't in any dire need of re-decorating at this point.
others, obviously, thought otherwise and so the hall has recently been subjected to a make-over.. the parking lot has been extended in true joni michell they've "paved paradise and put up a parking lot".
OSFA.
One size fits All.
If it does not fit it is dumped..
alexandria cortez wants a raise from $174,000 to $178,900, as a cost of living increase.
i thought she was crazy considering all her stupid rants.
but i wondered how a person like her, a former bartender who was paid the minimum wage or your normal tip salary for the area, was able to command such a salary.
Politicians here just had a massive pay rise. Unconfirmed at $11,000 pa.
But they deny pensioners and the unemployed any increase.
this happened yesterday.

Thanks all. I needed a hanky.
my previous thread talked about how the jws believe that jah will magically remove all memories of their dead loved ones in the "new system.
" thus no sorrow.
ok so god will erase all memories of your dead children from your mind.
bobcat. As i said think of people who have survived a war, the holocaust or some calamitous disaster of nature. Yes its in the memory but we dont dwell on it.
The wt idea of memory erasure is to make individuals robots..once again.
or are they afraid that in some new order people are not to remember any of the wt f*** ups..
