Were you 'alive in '75' and how was that year for you?
by punkofnice in

2. experiences
i was a junior borgite in 1975. i remeber looking at the calendar at work in october and thinking: 'armageddon isn't here yet.....and it doesn't feel like it will be here anytime soon either!'.

i was surprised that jehovah hadn't obeyed the superior command to bring the big 'a' as instructed to him by fred franz.

how dare god disobey the jw leader!!!!!.

The Jensen Letters
by IT Support in
1. watchtower
2. medical
the jensen letters is the name given to a series of letters between an elder in the united states and the watchtower society, over the period 1998 to 2003, and neatly illustrate the plight of thinking jehovah's witnesses trying to make sense of the society's blood policy.

they are remarkable in terms of both the incisive questions asked about critical aspects of the blood policy and the society's incompetent attempts at 'spin' and sidestepping awkward issues.

even more remarkably, they conclude with the writer's letter of resignation as an elder!

2. beliefs
new-years eve my husband and i went to my sister's house to bring in the new-year.

my sister knowing much about jws cornered my husband and said " happy new-year don" and he replied" yep it's a 2005".

i have been away from the bs of jwism for a long time and for the life of me i can not remember why it is wrong to celebrate a new year.

I donated blood today at a local blood drive and...

...i feel great!

i have been a jw almost all my life, and at a little over 40 years old, for the first time i donated half a litre of whole blood, and i am told it can be used to save 4 people!

i can't tell you how terrified i was to be spotted by a jw, although they would also have had a hard time explaining their presence at the clinic.
