My problem with Original Sin
by leftbelow ini found this quote in a book i was reading and it struck me this is why original sin is a problem for me.. damnation is the start of your morality, destruction is its purpose, means and end.
your code begins by damning man as evil, then demands that he practice a good which it defines as impossible for him to practice.
it demands, as his first proof of virtue, that he accept his own depravity without proof.

Another newspaper article on the Blood Issue
by leftbelow inhttp://www.sptimes.com/2008/02/24/life/woman_can_t_let_grand.shtml.
why is it the sanctity of life (which i believe was the first consideration in jewish law) set aside for this sick practice.
this fight has to be won.

Trying to help a friend
by leftbelow ini have a friend who needs help with a child custody case.
i remember there was a booklet that many recommended that was produced by the wt.
i have looked through the old threads but all of the downloads links are no longer active.. her husband is keeping her from seeing her daughter and even though he hasn't been active for years he started going to meetings and immediately got coaching from the elders on how to cut off his wife from their child.
