  Geesh, the more you dig, the more hypocrisy you will find with the WT or whatever other cover corporation they are using to benefit from. I'm not surprised if they did have their hand out to receive money from United Way or the Red Cross, but the R&F is made to feel guilty if we donate to United Way through work or use the pool at the YMCA after a long day at work.

  i saw a photo on facebook of a jw couple i know, apparently you can now get your photo taken with the stars of the jw animated children's videos, at patterson.

  i've tried to share it here but it isn't showing up.. basically, you stand in different cartoon scenes of the door to door activity, holding a bookbag and the hand of one of the children's characters from the viedo.

  the houses are pastel colored, the cartoon brothers are wearing brightly colored shirts and ties , no jackets.

  Taking the visiting speaker, his big-eater wife and spaced-out kids out to lunch when asked by your service overseer because he got a better offer from Brother Pick-up DaTab: honorable mention, kind of like the good citizen award in grade school.

  No disrespect to you and other self-starters like yourself is intended. I think that the term window washer is meant to represent a class of person with zero formal training, education or motivation to better themselves. These people have bought into the fairy-tale that the can fritter away their youth pioneering at the expense of their middle-age future trapped in a physically taxing, menial job content because the end is just around the corner.

  i was told that unlike christendom's pastors of mega-churches, members of the governing body don't require a security team and that you can just walk right up to them and talk to them.. is this true?.

  Wow, I wonder if that machine takes EBT (electronic benefits transfer) card payments as well. After all, if one is on public assistance, a person is still expected to tithe from those evil riches, right?

  regarding blood

  by never a jw in

  as a father of a baptized jw 17 year old girl i am concerned about her stand on blood.

  so i decided to do some research.

  i found the following in the elders' book "sheperd the flock of god" pages 110-112.

  In JW-think it makes perfect sense. If you take blood and live, you have renounced the blood of Christ and are therefore worthy of spiritual "death". If you bang your fellow elder's wife, you can get off if shed crocidile tears or due some time by deing DF'd for a year.

  As Data-Dog correctly points out, the judging of the faithful slave is a future event. They has shown to be neither "faithful" (getting in bed with the UN, pedophile handling) nor "discrete" (do as we say not as we do).
