Every time someone starts an anti-JW thread, it reinforces at least one JW's reason for being a Witness; if they see it.

Just saying.

Kegge, perhaps reading a few familiar lines from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland will help calm your soul:

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Not quite sure what your mean but whatever you do mean it won't mean enough to not do it.

do zombies hear? I thought they just blabbered and drooled, for although we have ears, we actually hear with the mind.

There are three types of people in Robbie's world:

1) Jehovah's witnesses

2) Atheists with butts worth kissing

3) Drooling zombie-apocalypse self-certified blabbering worthless nominal non-awesome deluded haters of truth

I'm not sure JWs allow butt kissing. It's not natural, you know.

Anyway, glad you had a good birthday, and hope your wife is fully recovered now.

Thank you, yes she needed an urgent blood transfusion some time ago which has saved her health in many ways, and possibly even her life. Had we been Jehovah's witnesses I'm absolutely certain her long-term health would have been in severe jeopardy.

Isn't it incredulous that our resident JWs here will go through Ancient Greek text to find a minutiae of support for their dogma and yet without even questioning it, accept the life threatening doctrine on blood transfusions on the flimsiest of scriptural inference.

A friend of mine is a Buddhist and doesn't celebrate Christmas because it's a Christian holiday; his wife is a JW and SHE doesn't celebrate it because it's a pagan holiday (co-opted from Saturnalia or something). Go figure.

She was taught as a child that higher education for girls is like polishing the brass on a sinking ship: useless. She's a magistrate now, bless her.

Happy B'day to ya.
