  Oh hi. I just thought I would share these stories dealing with a young witness child who has Sickle Cell Amenia with you guys (I think the stories were previously posted on this board and at Kent's site). At the end of each of the stories, you can provide a 1500 character commment that is posted at the newpaper's web site below the story. I have provided a lot of comments (using the name Andrew) on the stories. My goal is to get the information of www.ajwrb.org out while debating with some of the witnesses. So far I think I have lived to tell the story. It still amaszes me how ignorant some witnesses are to their own blood doctrine.

  Hi-

  I live just outside of Lincoln, NE, when these stories ran in the Lincoln Journal Star, I wrote a letter to the editor. They published it a couple of weeks ago.

  Last summer, I wrote a letter to the editor that was published because the paper published an interview with the head of the HLC in Omaha that gave the impression that JWs do not shun JWs who accept a blood transfusion. They published that one too. Interestingly, I got a visit from the local elders the week after that letter ran in the paper.

  Hi jschwehm and hello to you hawlker!!

  I sure would have liked to have been there when the elders came 'round. What'd they do? Put you on the "rack" and gave you a stretch?? HaHaHa
