  Doctors and surgeons say no to blood transfusions

  by Mr Negative in

  2. medical

  my mum recently told me that even surgeons won't have blood transfusions, but the common people don't get told this.

  i have also seen or heard others say that a bunch of doctors/health officials/surgeons were asked, at some point, if they would accept a blood transfusion and they all said no.

  is this true?

  Where do they get this idea from

  Their asses.

  Look for an article by Kerry Louderback-Wood, The Tort of Misrepresentation.

  so i travel alot for business and check into a hotel, start putting away my things and lo and behold in a bureau drawer, find a couple of wt's a couple of awake's and two tracts.

  1. throw them in the trash and forget about it.

  2. leave them where they lay and forget about it.. 3. leave a note for the housekeeper asking to lay off the cult recruitment.. 4. bring it to the attention of the management, and possibly get the housekeeper fired.. thanks for your input.

  Rip before you throw them out. This will be cathartic for you and will prevent anyone from being poisoned by them.

  Evolution isn't happening right now?

  woman: professor haldane, even given the billions of years that you say were available for evolution, i simply cannot believe it is possible to go from a single cell to a complicated human body with its trillions of cells organized into bones and muscle and nerves, a heart that pumps without ceasing for decades, miles and miles of blood vessels and kidney tubules, and a brain capable of thinking and feeling.

  .

  haldane: but madam, you did it yourself!

  Rings aren't necessarily that expensive, and could be inherited or received as gifts.

  In some cultures it is quite common for men to wear rings like that.

  How about a marriage counselor to help you sort this all out?

  please someone tell me the pain will subside

  It will. It always does. The sun will rise tomorrow.

  The death certificate for Joseph Franklin Rutherford, dated 2/6/1942, indicates that he died of rectal carcinoma

  Thanks for that info. I am going to keep that little fact in my back pocket to be pulled out when a certain jw spouts her "rectal cancer is a curse from Jehovah for being gay" BS. Oh yes, I had to hear that from several jw relatives. Unfreakinbelievable.

  Wow, thanks for posting that.

  I would think it is logical that the hardest working, trustworthy, ones who wouldn't preach to children happened to be assigned to work in the homes of officers. As another poster pointed out, this seems to just speak to the individual personalities and not the general group.

  And then he goes and makes the generalization about "all of" them having the same attitude about Jews--which we know exactly mirrors what wts put in its publications about Jews.

  Don't know what to make of this--the source, the statements, etc. Wow though.

  OP, may we have the title of the book?

  OrphanCrow, omg--interesting stuff.
