What's Your Favourite Way to Treat a Bad Cold?
by lifelong humanist ini've been suffering from a really bad cold, with flu-type symptoms, for almost a week now.
very unusual for me.. it couldn't have come at a worse time, as i've just started working as a self-employed person, working outdoors in all weathers.
no sick pay, so no money coming in.. i expect that i'll be ok for monday, though.. i'm right in the middle of making a homemade lamb curry.

Christian Fundies KILL their son
by wobble inherbert and catherine schaibel of the first century gospel church in philadelphia were convicted in december of involuntary manslaughter of their son, kent, who had a lung infection and they tried to pray the problem away as their church sees the use of meds.
as a lack of faith in god and therefore a sin.
the poor lad died.. i found this comment on the case , as reported in the guardian (u.k) newspaper thurs 3rd feb. pg 25:.

LINUX-users left in 'the dark' with Watchtower Library CD's ??
by linux-user inhi, i was wondering why there isn't any native linux-version yet of the watchtower library cd's available?
because i(as many others) don't use windows, but the free ubuntu-linux( http://www.ubuntu.com/ ) on my computer, and can only view those cd's with a free 'emulator', called 'wine', but that is not always 'working good' .... so, please, can there in the future be a possibility to get a native linux cd ??

Does anyone know what happens to full-time JW's(DO's, CO's, Missionaries, Special pioneers, etc) when they reach old age?
by african GB Member ini am just wondering since these people never work a secular job.
is there some sort of an arrangement from the society to care for them?
presuming they don't even have children of their own to look after them when they are old..

A Beloved and Compassionate Elder Trapped in a Cult Just Died , What should I do?
by TastingFreedom ini just heard the sad news that a very loving and kind elder for the congregation that i belonged to for 15 years just died from a heart attack.
he was someone that i had great admiration and deep respect for, even now that i'm out from the jws.
he was my mentor and an inspiration to me as an elder, and in many ways he showed me the contradictions of the wts, he was a breath of fresh air within a cult.

Blood Ban and Your Pets
by compound complex inhow irrational the society could be was experienced by the sister-in-law of ex-bethelite william (bill) cetnar when .... at the suggestion of her veterinarian, she had a blood transfusion given to her poodle to prolong its life.
she couldn't believe bill [cetnar]when he told her that the society would say she had violated god's law.
at his urging she wrote the society on the matter and the response she received informed her that she had done wrong.
