Religious Groups Get Chunk of AIDS Money
by sf inhttp://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060129/ap_on_he_me/aids_prevention
by rita beamish 1 hour, 54 minutes ago
president bush's $15 billion effort to fight aids has handed out nearly one-quarter of its grants to religious groups, and officials are aggressively pursuing new church partners that often emphasize disease prevention through abstinence and fidelity over condom use.. award recipients include a christian relief organization famous for its televised appeals to feed hungry children, a well-known catholic charity and a group run by the son of evangelist billy graham, according to the state department.. the outreach to nontraditional aids players comes in the midst of a debate over how best to prevent the spread of hiv, the virus that causes aids.

people would also use leaches on people to get the blood out.
doctors on the battlefield did not do something as common as washing their hands between patients, to avoid spreading infection and disease.

My No, Blood card
by ColdRedRain intoday at school, i saw a dub displaying her no blood card.

Circumcision and Gestational Surrogacy ... JWs' beliefs?
by somebodylovesme intwo quick questions to broaden my knowledge of witness doctrine, only for the sake of keeping up with what my in-laws believe.
either of these issues could, after all, come up someday ... (not that their beliefs will affect what we do, but it's nice to know from what direction the fights are coming.
1. circumcision -- clearly allowed, but is it required?
