  I wonder if being methodical in your thinking is just something people are born with, and they gravitate to similar career paths. Engineers have an odd personality, they usually don't have a sense of humour, and they are known as rational thinkers, question is were they born this way? or were they taught this way?

  Jeremy C---I find it to be just the opposite. Usually when a JW commits a major crime, the religious affiliation is not mentioned. But a Baptist or a Catholic, and its all over the news.
  
  Remember the Christian Longo murders? They whitewashed that story completely, didn't even mention he was a JW on the TV expose.
  
  
  But with that all said, I don't believe these were true JW's that committed this crime, but if it gives some negative publicity to the Watchtower, then I certainly won't hinder it.

  I think it is definitely a must, especially if you have a career plan. As for the critical thinking, you can develop that on your own.

  so i have posted on here about my conversations with my family.

  i toned it down a little when they got really upset, so many on this board told me to be careful.

  be careful though, and not let her pick the psychiatrist, I am sure she would find a JW friendly one.

  what you could do is go see the Psychiatrist, and then come back and tell her that the Psychiatrist says that the JW belief system is destructive to the mind and that it has caused you great harm.

  Any JWs who did NOT refuse BLOOD transfusion?

  2. medical

  i have never heard of one.. the key word here for me is "minor".......mature or not.......the law would still see them as a minor and couldn't override the parents decision for fear of lawsuits or worse.. like i said............i have never heard of one.

  Before I had my emergency appendectomy, I told the doctor that I would take blood if needed. This was after my Dad and Stepmom argued with the doctor in the hallway. The doctor came in alone and asked me. I was 13.

  I have only been to one, and I didn't really see the fascination with it, perhaps I should try it again.

  Since you on the right won't answer this question. Abortion

  by dawg in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i posed this question on another thread... namely burns and hooberus...wouldn't answer, so i thought i'd ask it again in an open thread..., .

  you on the right disagree with roe v wade... so that means that you want to redefine when a zygote, embryo, or a fetus has what anyone would rule for lack of better words "the right to life"... .

  exactly when is life, human as per your definition?
