// .module-subheader article from: australian associated pressa dying man has been granted the right to refuse life-saving medical treatment on the grounds of his religious beliefs.. the man, aged in his 70s and known only as "mr a", was unconscious when admitted to the emergency unit of a hospital run by the hunter and new england area health service on july 1. he was suffering from septic shock and respiratory failure.. despite receiving treatment, he developed renal failure and by july 14 was being kept alive by mechanical ventilation and kidney dialysis.. on that day a document prepared on august 19, 2008, and signed by mr a surfaced in which he indicated he would refuse dialysis.. the hospital took the matter to the nsw supreme court to ensure the man's refusal of medical treatment was legal.. today, justice robert mcdougall found mr a's directives should be followed "even if the likely consequence of giving effect to mr a's wishes ... is that he will die".. in the documents, mr a stated: "as one of jehovah's witnesses i direct my guardian to refuse consent for a transfusion of whole blood, red cells, white cells, platelets, or blood plasma to be given to me under any circumstances even if heath-care providers believe that such are necessary to preserve my life.".

Is God Justified....
by cameo-d inin teaching man that if he has done something wrong that all he has to do is put his hands on the head of an innocent animal/person to transfer his sins to it (rather like the cootie game children play) and then cut it's throat?.
does it appeal to your sense of justice to let someone else take the blame for something you did?.
do you believe this is the way a just god should behave?.

huh, russell may not have been a freemason
by 504deist ini'm proud to be a freemason.
i always hated the connection made between charles taze russell and the masons.
i was looking at different masonic sites and came across an interesting article about men people assumed were masons, but weren't.

Would you rather roll with the punces, get mad, or get even?
by The Berean inyou have been unquestionably offended by a family member (spouse, children, parents, inlaws).
the family member refuses to see your side or admit any responsibility.
under what corcumstances will it be in your best interest either to ignor the situation, express your anger, or somehow demand justice?
