4thought.tv asks if organ donations should be compulsory.
derek house is a jehovahs witness who believes an organ transplant could lead to the recipient having a change of personality.. this was on tv here in the uk this week.i couldn't believe my eyes and ears when i saw this!note the comments - many of them are defending jws saying he can't really be one.
Bolenygirl, I agree with their findings..I too think it is possible to be connected in some way but not sure why. Because of the transplant or because of the trauma/drugs/etc.
And slimboyfat, how much is a TV license? We have to pay for our cable but can choose from where we get it..

ps..One thing about the witnesses..they were usually safe rather than sorry about some things..especially about some vaccines and oral polio .
the cancer finally got to her and now my sisters and i are left without our mother.
we take comfort only in knowing that she is no longer in pain.
how do people move on from such a massive loss?.

I am so sorry for your loss..
I was just remembering when my Mom and 6 months later my dad died. At the time my life was so busy I didn't have that much time to dwell on it. But now it is different. I find myself missing them more now..now that I have quality time I could spend with them.
So many things I can understand now and they aren't here for me to tell them "I understand now". My mom and I had an arrangement that we would talk at least every Sunday. To this day 20 odd years later I still feel I am missing something on Sunday's..
Big Hug..

sorry if this isn't the right place to post this - brand new member here.. i recently caught up with an old friend who is a jw.
she's been witnessing to me, and i've accepted all her handouts because i don't want to hurt her feelings.
but now she's asking me for my "thoughts" about what i've read so far.
summer,
Ooff the subject but my friend in Australia told me that her congregation read a letter to the members (In Toowoomba) that all cases of child abuse (Molesting) or if they knew of a child molester in the congregation, should be reported to the proper authorities..I questioned her on it as no one else had read the letter and that wasn't their usualy practice..(I also showed her samples in the Watchtowers) .
Apparently that elders daughter had been molested and he wanted all cases reported from then on. She wouldn't say if it was another brother or not that did the molesting, I was assuming so because of the way the letter was worded.
That's when she commented that Jehovah would judge their hearts..

reading the posts about the 2011-7-15 watchtower about mentally retarded apostates i foresee the following scenario:.
1. congregational elders trying to get grip on non regular publishers and inactive witnesses.. 2. the good ones read in the watchtower that apostates are to find in the local congregation.
3. inactives like me (i hate this name, but i use their language), and liberal witness like me, will be hunted, .
Sounds to me like they are running scared of the big bad apostates...
I wonder what they are afraid of?...
Reverse indoctrination and loosening their followers chains is what we do
Snoozy..
Luo Buo to, are you from that area or just quoting the article from there? I have a witness family there that I know very well in Toowoomba..just asking..
And I knew at least two brothers that went to prison for their military stand but they ended up doing office work..they got off easy apparently. They only went for about 2 years think and that was in the early 60's. When I had a son in 1963 I was so worried I would lose him in the army or some other form of military..I had a selfish happiness when they did away with the draft.

the standard of what is true is what is real.. truth=reality.
at the point of contradiction.. with what?
it would be unthinkable for reality to contradict itself.. .
I know people who think the smell of liver and onions is wonderful! They are full of shit--but, at least it isn't reality:)
I love Liver and Onions and they do they smell wonderful, that's reality!..Just shows what over thinking has done to your mind, you can no longer recognize reality....

the following information was taken from steven unthank's facebook page:.

news release: victorian child protection inquiry hears evidence against watch tower society .
I think they are losing their voices and losing any respect they may have had in the past regarding the way they handle their business..
Now it just seems like they want to hide all their mistakes..I don't think they will get away with it much longer..Victoria is just the beginning..
Trouble is that unless the people do something to stop it child abuse will and is running rampant..
Is it because of such a relaxed/anything goes/do your own thing society possibly?
