So They Are Making News

by Village Idiot in

this associated press article on the witnesses appeared on yahoos home page.

http://news.yahoo.com/jehovahs-witnesses-could-1-billion-nyc-properties-161102417.html.

some snippets from the article:.

Sica said she is looking forward to the Witnesses' move in part because the church's properties seem off-limits to non-members, with fenced-in parking lots and no street-level retail. "It's closed off," she said. "You get that sense of 'This place is not for the public.'"

It's clear the local business association has them pegged. They know the true nature of the WTS - absolutely no transparency. None. Zip, zilch, nada. You want to be separate? Then we are glad you are leaving. And don't let the door hit you on the way out.

They can take their Billion $$$ and shove it. No, wait - they should be forced to use it to set up a retirement income for the 1975 generation.

Dear Syrian Refugees

by Simon in

welcome to canada from one immigrant to another !.

calgary is welcoming it's first refugees from syria and iraq so tomorrow i'm going to take all the winter clothing that we have and donate it to a women / children's charity.

it's not much (well, actually, it's a huge pile ... everything from when we first moved over!

If you think passion equates to smugness, then that is A-OK with me. I've had it to 'here' with the zenophobic haters who enjoy their ignorant stance.

Whatever. Have a 'nice day', haters. I care not. :)

November Study WT "Train You Child to Love Going Door 2 Door"

by JW_Rogue in

been catching up on some jw reading and found a gem in the november study wt in the first article, paragraph #11:.

yet, you might look beyond the obvious and ask yourself, does my child enjoy the ministry or only the breaks?

if you discern that the ministry could be more interesting or more rewarding for your children, set goals with them.

talesin

I just read the OP and this:

set goals with them. Use creativity to help them to have a full share as your preaching companions.

Yes, ensure that they know your LOVE and APPROVAL are dependent on how enthusiastic they are in the Kingdumb Ministry.

Instill Christian values in them, so that they are fully aware that they are not beloved just because they are family, but, more importantly, are companions in service to the One True God (ie, the Watchtower Corporation and its representatives, the GB).

GRRRR!

Blood Refusal Tragedy Sparks National Outrage

by cookiemaster in

so, here's some news from my country.

there was this 20 year old jw girl who was a rookie driver.

she was in the car with her parents and for some reason decided to cross a railroad right before a train was coming.

talesin

something isnt quite right about this---a 20 year --what legal right have the parents got to make such a decision ?

The parents are Next of Kin (NOK). In the absence of the 20YO having any legal documents stating she wanted all measures taken (including blood), or she had named someone else NOK, if she is unconscious, her NOK would automatically have the legal say-so.

:'(

Warning to all who have decided they do NOT believe in the rule against blood transfusions. Make sure your NOK is someone that will follow your wishes.
