  i hope slim hasn't left the forum, ( again) but i noticed his last post was post 10,ooo which is quite an achievement and a great statistic to say " au revoir" on.

  ( yes i studied compulsory french at school, but " au revoir" is all i can remember so i may as well use it) .

  anyway now for the " slimboyfat" challenge, can anybody here name past or present posters that have made over 10,000 posts?

  I went to see my Dr about the blood card issue

  i booked a double appointment so that she wouldn't be rushed.

  i explained that i'd been brought up in the jw's and woken up to what a load of shite it was.

  i explained that they have changed the blood card and that the elders in the cong are being told to effectively force people into signing it.

  Purr - just don't do anything with the card. The elders will forget about it.

  Yup. What we have seen is a move to consolidate and sell excess.

  Evolution is a Fact #34 - Hiccups and Tadpoles

  by cofty in

  hiccups are a weird phenomena.

  they are a combination of two involuntary actions - firstly a rapid inhalation of breath followed 35 milliseconds later by the glottis at the back of the throat suddenly closing off our airway.. our normal breathing is controlled by a "central pattern generator" in a small region of the brain stem close to the boundary with the spinal cord.

  a signal is sent along the vagus and phrenic nerves resulting in a rhythmic contraction of muscles in chest, diaphragm and throat.. these nerves branch off right at the top of the spinal cord and follow a convoluted path through the chest cavity.

  Just gone through this at the dinner table as my daughter gets hiccups. I didn't mention the source of course but left them contemplating the implication of why we would mimic actions of an animal with both gills and lungs.....

  No one is saying KH construction has been stopped. We have recently seen the completion of the Chemsfold KH for example. However, as someone still nominally on the re-badged RBC/LDC I know there is very little more really going on. RBC groups had regular full build projects every 2-3 months. There have been virtually none in the whole of the UK for well over a year now.

  There is lots of talk about how many more projects there are required. Firstly this includes maintenance tasks that fall under the LDC now. Secondly, when you actually talk to people, no one actually sees anything happening. Things are always supposedly happening elsewhere.

  I can't speak for third world areas and accept there could be more going on there than we assume might be happening but the talk at the hall, assemblies and conventions is not about the third world, it's constantly bigging up the local LDC workload yet there is nothing of real substance actually happening.

  Also, I believe there was a thread on here debunking the implied timelines on third world hall projects presented in a recent JW broadcast.

  Very interesting. There are regular references in the meetings to the large building needs but very little evidence of any thing actually happening on the ground. The story is the same in the UK and I suspect everywhere else.

  I am in the shoes of being perceived as essentially in "good standing" despite poor meeting attendance, no field service and school participation. I am not worried by this at all. I will be amazed if they really chase this up and make sure they have fully completed forms for all congregation members.

  Even if they do chase it, they have no power to compel any individual. Just deflect the request and move on. They will only bother once or twice.

  From the other thread....

  Don't panic Captain Mainwaring. The Elders and HLC only have the power over you that you give them. Don't sign it. Don't talk to the elders about it. If they chase you at all it will be once or twice. Just tell them you'll sort it out. They will forget about it. Without this document the HLC can do bugger all.
  It's not a bad idea to make your wishes clear in a document and conversation with your doctor but most elders don't have the time or inclination to keep track of who and who has not logged a blood card with them. Not only that but the fact the document is limited to so called primary components means loads of questions from old sisters about what they can and can't have. The elders will be glad of not being hassled by you
  Remember as well this is only a document for the UK. Wording and mileage may differ elsewhere.

  I have NEVER lodged a card copy with the congregation and NEVER been asked to do so.
