Hyprocrisy Pervades JW Culture
by Room 215 inafter thinking about ozzies recent regrettable incident in which his college graduate jw daughter ``uninvited him and his wife to the commencement ceremony , i considered how integral hypocrisy and self-deception is to dub culture.
here we have a young woman who while professing a loyalty to the ``faithful and discreet slave so intense as to accede to the shunning of the very parents who gave her life (and likely paid for her education), while at the same time retaining a prerogative to ``pick and choose among which jw injunctions she will either slavishly follow or ignore completely (in this latter case the wts anti-higher education urgings).. despite the incessant pressure to ``preach, preach, preach, their ``life-giving message zealously and at every opportunity, `in the short time left, what percentage of jws routinely and proactively, if ever, preach to their workmates and neighbors, or even disclose their religious affiliations unless absolutely cornered?
and what of jw youths, particularly the teenagers at school?

The WTBS and Gambling....Awake 10/2000
by LDH inthe floor of a traditional stock exchange seems to be a chaotic marketplace.
mysterious (to an outsider) hand signals are employed, coded messages on electronic tickers appear and change at a frantic pace, and floor brokers compete to be heard above the flurry of activity.. today, however, many people once bewildered by the stock market are investing in stocks.
for one thing, the internet has enabled investors to access in moments financial news, investment advice, and stockbrokers.

Alzheimer's from Blood Transfusion??
by BluesBrother inthis topic had some airtime on uk breakfast t v , causing dub family members to feel justified in their refusal to accept blood .. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-3228020/alzheimer-s-spread-blood-transfusions-surgical-dental-accidents-way-cjd.html.
however, the medical doctors quickly debunked the "sensationalist" conclusions that journalists had reached from this very small study.. dr doug brown, director of research at alzheimer's society, said:.
'while these findings are interesting and warrant further investigation, there are too many unknowns in this small, observational study of eight brains to draw any conclusions about whether alzheimer's disease can be transmitted this way.. 'notably, while seven of the eight brains studied had beta-amyloid deposits - a protein found in the brains of people with alzheimer's disease - the presence of this alone does not mean that they would have gone on to develop the disease.. 'injections of growth hormone taken from human brains were stopped in the 1980s.

Donating Platelets only
by BluesBrother ini was unaware that donors could give just the platelets of their blood.
apparently they have the shortest shelf life so they want a lot of them.
this makes no difference to the j w stance because platelets are not allowed ,as a major blood component.. i just thought it was interesting and many of us like to know what is happening in this field:.

LIONS ON YOUR LAWN?
by BluesBrother inwhen i was a boy i was sure that i was going to have a pet lion in the new world,and was fondly encouraged to believe so by the grown ups and w t literature.
as an adult i held reservations, but it has always been official belief that we would be at peace with animals and they will literally all change to a veggie diet.. recent study of the "isaiah book page 16 shows a typical picture of wolf,bear etc, and likens it to changed personalities of people.
a literal fulfillment?
