well we don't care that he has cut us off!

we have 4 kids, he ain't going to see them before the grim reaper comes lookin for him.

my job skills are well in demand in alberta canada so that's our next move, we are getting out of the uk sinking ship asap, we have family in alberta who will sponsor us so i think it's time to leave and make a new start for our kids, as their aren't no jobs in the uk for them now even with university qualifications behind them.

Funny think about shunning, you know in your heart that something about it just isn't right and yet they convince you.threaten you to do it.

I remember the heartfelt feeling I had for this one sister that got disfellowshipped for smoking..I so wanted to talk to her but was advised not to..I feared they would kick me out of the religion if I did so I didn't. But my heart was telling me it was so wrong and I should talk to her..should have followed my instincts..

I often wonder if these people doing the shunning (including parents or children JW's) are broken hearted and in pain because they too are under the WTBTS spell..I wonder if they too feel something just isn't right about it (shunning)..

It's sad that the WTBTS is able to interfere with so many families and their lives..

Good luck on your move..

Aug. 15th WT - WT Society Dissing Internet Again - All JW's Beware !

by flipper in

we always know when the gb or wt leaders are nervous and worried about potential alleged " threats " to jehovah's witnesses - because they repetitively keep mentioning these perceived " threats " in talks at assemblies or in wt articles constantly.. the " witness only " august 15th wt is no different.

in a non-study article entitled " the internet - making wise use of a global tool " once again the wt society instills doubt and fear into witnesses by " warning " them about use of the internet.

3 " while the internet can provide valuable information, save us time, and serve a useful function, it can also misinform us, consune an inordinate amount of our time, and corrupt us morally.

Most of the witnesses I know on the computer spend a lot of time playing "Farmville"..when they could be studying..or out in service..they also talk about their "wine " parties..where were these fun witnesses when i was one?..

I knew a Brother (witness) that worked at a gas station/garage. When he first started working there they didn't carry cigarettes. Eventually they started to sell cigarettes. The "Brother" was told it was part of his job now. The Brother said in all good conscience he couldn't sell something that would cause a person's death and gave his resignation and quit. A few Brothers didn't agree with his views.
He and his family (wife and daughter) had to pack up and move back home to Arkansas to live with his parents till he could get another job.

He and his wife ended up cleaning offices and homes.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but when you work for someone else you have to do it their way or find another job that agrees with your beliefs..

i really want to see my dad again!!!!

i just wonder when this will occur.

thousands of years have gone by.

Snoozy

I hope there was good reason to ban godrulz..sorry to hear when that happens ..

As far as resurrection goes I remember being "told" that when someone is resurrected they won't look the same but we would still know it was them by their actions.. That put a questoin mark in my mind that their may be a glitch in that resurrected teaching thing.. Wouldn't you think they would look the same?

Really makes you wonder..lot of nuts running around..
I remember going as a child with a friend to a Pentecostal church one time and it scared the jesus out of me!

If it is supposed to be inspired by God why would it scare you? Wouldn't /shouldn't it make you feel warm and fuzzy inside? That's my kind of church!!!

Snoozy who automatically runs when someone says they "speak in tongues" or sees Demons..yep!

I fugure they are a nut job..

Should there be restrictions on who can donate blood?

by Snoozy in

found this article on a "gay like" man that was refused and it got me to wondering..i really didn't know the rules!.

an indiana man says a blood donation center rejected him as a donor because he appears to be gay--even though he isn't.. .

Snoozy

You're welcome Scully..

Another point that someone made was screening isn't 100 % sure. Thank you for that info.
Also in the article it pointed out about homeless people being able to donate..how can they tell if someone is truthful about their background?

I have never donated so am not up on the process of donating. Do they ask questions? Take a physical of the one donating? Test the blood before they take the donation?

And still wondering about the gay screening process, do they just rely on the persons statements as to if they are gay or not before letting them donate?

He says:

An Indiana man says a blood donation center rejected him as a donor because he appears to be gay--even though he isn't.

Aaron Pace, 22, recently visited Bio-Blood Components Inc., in Gary, which pays up to $40 for blood and plasma donations. But during the interview process, he said, he was told he couldn't give blood because he seems gay.

Though Pace is "admittedly and noticeably effeminate," according to the Chicago Sun-Times, he says he's straight.

"It's not right that homeless people can give blood but homosexuals can't," Pace told the paper. "And I'm not even a homosexual."
