    This is hilarious. For those of you caught off guard as I was, I'm pretty sure this is a joke. I highly doubt the Society would feature multiple photos of Clint Eastwood--or Joan Blondell--on it's cover. LOL!

    Joan Blondell: They don't make 'em like that anymore!

    Also: I cannot post anymore new topics today so could someone start a new thread to inform the board of a radio show going out in a couple of hours on Radio4 (UK) Tonights show is all about 'Jehovah's Witnesses and the blood transfusion issue'.

    20:00 Inside the Ethics Committee1/3. Every day, life or death decisions are being made in hospitals all over the country by clinical ethics committees. In this series, Vivienne Parry is joined by a panel of experts including health professionals, religious leaders, philosophers and lawyers.

    Each week, a new case is put in front of the ethics committee and they examine personal testimonies from patients, relatives and medical staff. As the panel gradually unravels the evidence, they test the moral foundation of how decisions are made in hospitals every day.

    Looking over its contents again, I believe it is valuable site for lurkers and seekers. I'm going to add it to my yahoo profile now.

    It's a great informative site.

    nicolau,

    Thanks for the heads up on the Radio 4 prog. tonight. I will post a new topic for it as it doesn't seem to have been done.

    hoe lang houden zij het schieten op "nieuw wachttorenlicht" nog vol?

    This means in english:

    How long will they keep the shooting (or guessing) at new watchtower light up? The 'shooting' part can mean real shooting with say guns, but can also mean guessing. A possible english equivalent for the saying could be: 'a wild stab in the dark'.

    'Hoe' simply means 'how' not 'ho' as in hooker. LOL
