Blood, Hemopure, Stock Market: Society Investments
by Maximus inbiopure soars on hemopure trial results.
new york (reuters) - biopure corp. (nasdaq:bpur - news), a biotechnology company seeking to commercialize a substitute blood product, on monday said a late-stage clinical trial showed the product is comparatively safe.. the phase iii trial was conducted to determine whether the blood substitute, called hemopure, met its "primary endpoint,'' which was to show that patients receiving the product were as safe as those receiving donated red blood cells.. "this clinical milestone is an important step toward addressing the critical issue of blood availability on a worldwide basis,'' carl rausch, the company's chief executive, said in a statement.. the news comes two weeks after cambridge, massachusetts-based biopure was accused by online news site thestreet.com of delaying and covering up negative trial results.
the report sent the stock plummeting 11 percent.

Nourishment for the Spirit
by Maximus inmy observation is that persons who 1) heal/adjust the most rapidly from their jw experience and 2) seem to have the most joy in life are those who read, read, read, in pursuit of what i call nourishment for the spirit.
i've really enjoy the pithy aphorisms you use here, which suggests you've distilled some wisdom from somewhere.
i'm going to ask your help in this thread.

To Joelbear With Love
by Maximus injoel, i want you to know i can think of no other poster who shows as much humanity, as much compassion and insight as you, particularly when it comes to the human condition.. thank you for sharing yourself and your journey so openly; i'm grateful for that.
you obviously have picked up many helpful tools in your recovery toolkit, and when you not only share them with us but show how to use them, how they can benefit us, we are the richer.. i need not say more, than that you are loved very much.. maximus.
who once in a while learns from joel a leeeetle more than he needed to, but what else is new?

Disinformation
by Maximus indisinformation, noun.. 1. deliberately misleading information announced publicly or leaked by an organization, government or especially by an intelligence agency in order to influence public opinion or the government in another nation: he would be the unconscious channel for a piece of disinformation aimed at another country's intelligence service (ken follett).. 2. dissemination of such misleading information.. attributive.. often used to modify another noun: disinformation operations; disinformation experts.. [possibly translation of russian dezinformatsiya.].
maybe we need a reminder from time to time that the fds manual includes a proviso to "be wise as serpents" in their war strategy.

Clerical Privilege: Finished in Massachusetts?
by Maximus inpanel oks bill requiring clergy to report abuse.
by john mcelhenny, the associated press.
boston priests and other clergy have been havens for secrets, virtually beyond the reach of civilian authority or law for thousands of years.. but after widespread reports of sexual abuse of children by priests and a middleton church worker, lawmakers are moving to get rid of a long-held clerical privilege in the name of protecting children.. on tuesday, lawmakers gave initial approval to a bill that would require priests and other clergy to report sexual abuse of children to law enforcement if they learn about it outside of the confessional.. we need to make the hierarchy of whatever religion understand that they cant allow the people under them to get away with the things theyve gotten away with, said rep. patricia haddad, d-somerset.

"Vindication," New Light
by Maximus inneed some help.. growing up, i was ceaselessly taught that everything jws do in preaching is because of "the issue.
" the issue is the "vindication" of jehovah's name.. at some point the publications ceased this teaching, with an almost casual watchtower reference to the fact that 'obviously jehovah's name does not need to be vindicated.
' keen students were surprised that no major article appeared to lay out this change.. i don't have the tools to follow this up, so could i impose on someone to fill me in with citations?
