JWs have more good points than bad

1) many who were on the destructive path have been transformed by their teachings (this includes me who was once vicious, and presumptuous and atheistic).

2) equal monthly pay to all members of the bethel community regardless of whether they are bc members or sweepers.

this is something that still remains as an unattainable dream for the world.

Watchtower Policy Claims Another Teenager
by Lee Elder in
1. watchtower
2. medical
a tragic story of how the watchtower unduly influenced or brain washed a 14 year old jehovah's witness into martyrdom.

the real irony here is the synthetic blood that failed was a hemoglobin solution, and red blood cells are nothing but tiny doughnut shaped bags of hemoglobin.

any thinking person will conclude that if red cells are blood, then so is hemoglobin.

My brother-in-law just graduated PSS

so i was scrolling down facebook and i saw that my brother-in-law was getting lots of likes and congrats (including sadly from my wife) for graduating pss.

initially i thought peter pan (he is incredibly immature for a 23 year old) had gone against character and completed some sort of educational or vocational course until i found that pss stood for pioneer service school.

i was tempted to comment how sad this was but instead commented that "no matter how much you do they will always make you feel like it is not enough".
