Dying Teen Awaits Word on Appeal
by RunningMan ini finally got around to browsing through yesterday's paper, and saw the above headline on page 4. unfortunately, my paper only keeps the current day's headlines on line, so i can't reprint the article (it came from canadian press, if anyone else can find it).. the article begins:.
"a calgary teen who fought blood transfusions in her losing battle with leukemia learns thursday whether the supreme court of canada will hear her case.. "the decision won't likely affect the 16 year old girl: the alberta government last week stopped forcing treatments on the dying jehovah's witness after 38 transfusions and four rounds of chemotherapy failed to stop the cancer.. "she is not expected to see her 17th birthday on aug. 20.. "but the hight court, should it hear her appeal, could proceed even after her death to clarify the rights of young people who reject medical treatment.. "'my case is about rights,' the girl, whose identity is protected by a publication ban, told a makeshift provincial court set up last week in her hospital room.".
..... there isn't anything new in the article, but there were some interesting comments.... "in a move that split the family, her father went against his wife and daughter to support the procedures.. "'how many parents would actually sit there and watch their child die?

Worldwide mailing Campaign Fallout
by dungbeetle inmailing campaign fallout.
recently, kingdom halls of jehovahs witnesses were the largest group of intended recipients of an international mailing campaign, spanning all fifty states of the united states and including the countries of canada and england.. the results in the us have been interesting, and could have far-reaching effects on our legal system and on the preaching practices of jehovahs witnesses.. over a hundred years ago, a group of evangelical apocryphical persons calling themselves "bible students" began a campaign to sell bible-based literature at homes throughout the united states.
from time to time, their effeorts faced legal challenges, some were won and some were lost, but in general the door-to-door campaigns have continued unabated, with varying degrees of success.

Volunteer Work is Never Encouraged
by Mary ini always find it so annoying whenever there's a wt study on the good samaritan.
no one at the hall ever suggests that the idea behind it, is that we should be helping our "enemies" in a charitable way, such as feeding them, clothing them, helping them out in a physcial way.....nope they always turn it around to where it only means we should be preaching to our enemies, cause lord only knows, actually helping someone out in a charitable way means less than nothing in the organization.. anyhoo, the last time we had an article on that (couple of years ago), i specifically put up my hand and said "this is not talking about preaching to our enemies.
the samaritan did not preach to the jew nor vise versa.
