there have been several threads about music the last few days, so i decided to start another.. this song absolutely makes me tear up every time i hear it.. .

ive had a few discussions both here and in real life and often find people excuse the ot with all its vile, violence and only concentrate on jesus because he was good.
i try and assk them to show me an example and they of course they quickly tell us about the miracles, and thats fine.
however when you ask them about slavery, violence, women and so on they make excuses.
I was reading a scripture someone posted the other day about how we should all "Fear God" because that was what he wanted..really turned me off to god. How can a supposed god of love expect his "followers" to fear him? Shouldn't their reason be out of love for him?
Snoozy..just wondering..

sherman hemsley, whose cantankerous george jefferson cracked up millions of faithful tv viewers each week, first going toe-to-toe with archie bunker on all in the familyand then sparring with his beloved weezie on the jeffersons, has died.. the sad news was confirmed by police in el paso, texas, where hemsley lived while not working in los angeles.
no immediate word on cause of death, which was originally reported by tmz.. the emmy- and golden globe-nominated actor was 74.. .
I enjoyed his acting. He will be missed.
Snoozy..
The Crew:
what a day!
first of all one of my electronic devises broke so the store said they would replace it i just needed to show id, i removed my license from my wallet and saw my blood card staring me in the face i couldn't stand looking at it so i took it and crumpled it up and threw it away, upon leaving the store i had a car accident it the parking lot, nobody was terribly injured but it was my fault so i feel bad...but i also feel elated that i tore up the card, what if i had a really bad accident and i needed blood?
what could have happened to me?
I agree with Blondie..get a healthcare proxy..Hubby had one and he also told all the Drs and hospital he was a witness and gave them notorized copies of the papers stating no blood. He also made copies of his blood card for them.They never looked at them when they came in his room (It ws on his chart) and always asked him what blood type he was..it really pissed him and his JW mom off..
I too had a operation and lost a lot of blood as a JW..They were just letting me bleed.They finally operated to stop the bleeding but Iwas very weak from losing so much blood. I later learned I was also low on Vit K..Thankfully the anesthesiologist caught it and started Ringers in both hands..with huge needles. He was mad because none of the Drs or nurses seem to give a d_m..Course the Dr was one that supposedly sympathized with the JW's and they all went to him for surgery. He probably secretly hated them and was trying to kill them off..
Did I tell you the Drs nickname with the nurses was Dr Butcher?..yeah..that was the ones the JW's said was so nice to the JW's..
The Dr Butcher died from Cancer a few months after that.

found this on you tube..i couldn't believe everyone just walked past her without talking to her..(except to tell her to shut up!
) i don't know what the sign said but there was also a guy singing hymns there..they just walked by and ignored him also.
unbelievable..where's the love for their fellow mankind?.
I loved all the comments..thanks.
And D.T...your post made me remember when I was singing their songs how much they reminded me of several hymns I had heard other religions sing. I am sure they actually have one that sounds a lot like "Amazing Grace"..only of course they make it a little different and change the words to suit their needs..as usual.
I think that no matter the person making the protest the JW's just look so aloof..still can't believe no one offered them any magazines on tape..they passed up a chance to "Witness"..
They were possibly drilled on how to react to any protestors before they came to the assemblies..
Back when I was a JW I don't remember any protestors..but we were told to witness to anyone..no matter who or when. Their blood would be on our hands if we didn't..heaven forbid!

at the moment i don't have the wt cd program up, but when i can bring it up, i'll post some.. .
also, articles which include a paragraph here or there that are directed towards children or teens count as well.. articles that come to mind for me first are all the articles dealing with (gasp) masturbation.
and one poster here recently posted some parts from a young people ask article about dating, which was very funny.
Not Watchtower but a publication of theirs..the yearbook. I remember when hubby was sick one of the brothers came over to "Strengthen" him in his time of need..he read the daily text of the day..all about the Menstral cycle. I don't think Hubby even listened.
I was appaled..
Deeply disturbed people wrote that yearbook..It had to be either late 2002 or early 2003.

does anyone know what was said at the 2012 district convetion about websites?.
subject: jw forum .

Funny how some JW's think the internet is evil and other JW's just love it and play on it all day..Maybe the Watchtower society needs to clarify thie stand a little clearer for them? Is it evil or not? If it is evil why do they have a site on it..
They truly are just afraid that the people will get infomation that will blow the lid off their operation that's all. The WTBTS wants to "own" them just like a controlling husband or wife..it's wrong in either circumstance!!!
I think the WTBTS would love to be a Hitler like situation/government. They rule..no questions asked.
So they are still open just that they will not be available to the public in certain areas of the site..no biggie..
