Thinking

I think that was pudgy that said that..that quirk in the system is at work again…but I’m sure in fact I know a few elders would speak or think of me as such….but thank you for your kind words…

Nowadays kids don’t know what stamps are…I made my grandkids write a thank you letter to their great pop. They didn’t know about stamps or writing a real letter and buying a stamp and walking to a post box and posting it….they thought it all tedious and a waste of time…and as we trudged back home they said……‘I dont see why we couldn’t have just rang him it doesn’t make sense…aaaah those bygone days…when getting a telegram was so exciting….we’ll sort of as it usually meant someone had died….

Wow fancy having stamps like that…how interesting…

Why do a re write….its good and truthful….it would help others who have been hurt…..

I’ve been there and experienced such pain that lead to a death….you are speaking with a sister that was engulfed with a huge amount of anger and resentment and righteous indignation which led to my two ears of inactivity…….its a long story but eventually I had to reason out that I came into the truth knowing all these things existed within the org….why do you think we have the Judas types….the haughty…the cruel even amongst us. Unfortunately they tend to have a lot of power within congregations. Jehovahs people are no different to his people of old times….once I got a grip on that..and working on my feelings .( which I might add they caused ) …I guess I was and still am being refined by fire….and I am NOT going to let those sorts of men push me out where I know Jehovah led me.

He was playing with words when he said this…because the question was addressed to the GB specifically….he could say such a statement because he knew within the org there were many others who claimed to be anointed and the great crowed who were speaking on behalf of jehovah/ bible ….at this time the witness followed the GBs understanding that you had to be baptised witness to survive. That has now changed,,,,as it should be. nearly everything he said was nullified later by the rest of the GB. he was caught on the hop….he didn’t expect to be part of the commission. I wouldn’t go so far as to say he was lying..more like acting like Abraham when he claimed Sarah’s as his sister….technically he wasn’t lying as they were actually closely related ( cannot remember how close ) . I think when he got back to HQs he got into hot water over some of his statements. But I also think the GB acted cowardly and it was an embarrassment to us that one of them didn’t willingly take part in that to back their brothers up. We have a great shortage of brothers to take the lead over here ..they literally begged them to step up to the mark…..I cannot but think….it was fear as to what the courts could do to them.

You have a great quality of humbleness Tom….i try to learn from it .

Yes koalas are very cute but they have a big problem with STDs which I think they are trying to eradicate …..I wouldn’t hold one ..but one day ..it’s a sure thing….i don’t think pudgy looks as cute as that when he awakes…

Thanks for trying but it still seems murky waters..if I had to say that to leave Australia I would think I was giving allegiance to our constitution thus our country…..so happy we never had this problem. Americans are very very political and religious compared to us…makes things so much easier on us.

Never could figure it out

I tend to break Juan’s and even JWI and their writing up in paragraphs at a time..just cannot do it in one hit …but it’s usually worth it even if I don’t understand everything…

We have a police officer who carry’s a gun etc in his line of duty and he witnesses……times are a changing…

Thank you Juan and I definitely got the gist of your words, I’m sort of getting used to the way you write…and I sure hope when I speak in short bursts you get my awkward gists

I love Russell but I don’t understand what he is saying here,.

I seen many years ago on another site which I think is redundant now….i was never sure what to make of it…..this oath must have had many brothers and sisters who travelled overseas compromise themselves.

Yes this wasn’t good was it but I still wish I could hear their side of the story of why they felt that was okay…

Don’t think so…hope not!

So you can eat a T Bone or lamb loin chops or liver with out eating fractions of blood cooked along with them….or have I misunderstood you.

Some in the medical field who are involved in organ transplant admit IV blood transfusion should always be viewed as a organ transplant..I think we both view Red blood cells as vital for Oxygen maker and carrier. I’m not sure on the rest of your scientific knowledge but I will bow to it as I know nothing of what you say . Either way you think on it clearly one is not abstaining from it…but I stand corrected on the rest of your post…

The packed red blood cells do provide a protein to help OXYGYEN…the oxygen is what it’s all about…go anywhere on line away from the societies writings and you will read that. i think miles as you may have some interesting stories to tell I think your a stirer who at times just want to sound of hearing your own voice and over the dumbest subjects..I’d like to know your other alias names you use on line. there is something familiar out you…and sadly I don’t think it’s good

Well I’m preety sure Eve had mammary glands as she had a womb…but I like the rest of your post.

I’ll say it….he would come under the mosaic Law and when Christ died faithful…..he would then become under Christs Law….and as Christ instructed Peter to put away his sword thus he would say to Cornelius….thus he would be just like you and me…completely neutral..and looking for another job. I find it so frustrating when something is so simple…seems so complex to such seemingly highly intelligent people…I’m coming to the conclusion that I must be more of the mind of Einstein that I ever realized.

Well done……now I have a migraine

Looking forward to your next post on this and I’m Terribly sorry about your dad. also feel awfully sorry for your mum..so many losses on all fronts …too sad too sad….

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit….but that’s okay..I know it must be hard to know I licked ya!!
