why does the watch tower society not build and operate its own hospitals for its people who refuse to have blood in their treatment programme?.
surely, if bloodless surgery and treatment is so superior and they could prove it with their own statistics and survival rates they could show that blood should not be used.. so, what are they afraid of?.
Downunder the Australia Branch has recommended this hospital in Western Australia for bloodless surgery: http://www.fhhs.health.wa.gov.au/services/default.aspx?SiteID=4
They have even supplied BOEs in Australia with hospital brochures for distribution to the R&F !
it is named after an order of monks.. therefore should a jw drink cappuchino in view of its connection with a part of babylon the great?.
Don't SHOUT!
it was a delight to find so many thought-provoking threads.
ozziepost has clearly not been getting the credit he is due.

Thought I'd add this one; it's a bit of fun:
Should Christians drink cappuccino? http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/2620/1.ashx
Enjoy.

strange story though: this witness lady shares a flat with her "estranged husband" and has a "lover"???.
anybody knows about her current status?.
Strange all right. Must be some slack elders if it's true.
Me? My money's always been on the parent or parents.
i grew up as a jehovah's witness.
my mother was uneducated and so we moved every 2-4 years as she tried to find stable enough work to support a child so ive attended many kingdom halls and have known many witnesses and many elders.
i've never gone back to the witness organization and never will.
besty:
You said that you had difficulty developing social skills which has had an ongoing effect throughout your life, yet you also said that you had maintained contact with hundreds of JW's over an extended period. I'm unclear about which of these statements is the most accurate - perhaps you can expand on that for me?
See my post above.

Each of the (so far ) 14 posts today in the past four hours have been in similar vein including this thread.
Folks, he/she is yanking your chain!
Still, many miss scholar.......now, where is he ??
this week begins a very special feature of wt comments.. the visiting speakers.
check in on thanksgiving for this week's lesson, deliverance from the traps of the birdcatcher.
conducted by our very own minimus.. .
V, I have nothing to square with you or anybody else about this, and I didn't suggest that you were guilty of having a hidden agenda: I merely stated it as a matter of experience, with the intent of possibly informing new members as to why the IP addressess were initiated in the first place, and what JWD policy is regarding having multiple accounts.
Ona: You're quite right, of course.
I know you were formerly a moderator and you just needed to share your experience with us.
Was that necessary?
Actually the alias "WT Comments" is a collaborative identity. You can square that with Blondie, elsewhere, and Simon if you wish.
Huh? Since when? I've closed it for breaking forum rules.
this is so bad people, why are we sitting on our arses and doing nothing about things like this.
this young man gave his life, he will probably never have a wife and family for the rest of his life and this is how they are treated ?
this administration should be ashamed of themselves and i mean down right on their knees ashamed.
We had similar experiences downunder following the vietnam War. It's taken years (decades) to finallt see the vets get the recognition that's rightly due to men (and women) who've sacrificed much of their lives in service of their country for a cause, unpopular though it was.
re: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/12/146760/1.ashx.
did it ever occur to any of you that blakeseeley and carlhernz could be separate people posting from the same computer?
if they are then it follows that their vocabularies and writing styles may be similar; if one is a journalist (even part-time) perhaps the other is as well.. it could be that one is visiting the other; carlhernz said that blakeseeley was in florida at present but would be returning to texas soon.. why not step back, take a few deep breaths...and unlock that thread?.
To Angharad:
What about the OTHER TWO accounts that are using this IP address that have very similar usernames AND emails addresses?Who knew? That wasn't public information at the time of my writing.
To Simon, a simple if then statement:
The combination of technical things not making sense PLUS a story with more holes in it than an episode of Dallas and requests for people to send personal information = someone up to no good.If this is the case then it really is the end of the story.

Ever had two kids arguing and you've told them your decision is final and one of them still wants the last word?
