by behemot ina jehovah's witness has lost a malpractice suit over a blood transfusion.. .
she survived and sued, claiming medical malpractice.. .

1. my lord began ruling from the moment he was installed and inaugurated... as a king and priest... 'in the manner of melchizedek'... which installation and inauguration was evidenced... by the outpouring of holy spirit at pentecost... 30 ce (sorry, dear ones, but 33ce is an erroneous date contrived by the wtbts to make their 607bce, etc., 'fit'.

Christian matyres not faithfull?
by Luo bou to ini remember reading a wt where they quoted a source that said 300.000 christians died in the first century as martyrs.
