Are you confident about blood?
by eyeslice inthe issue of blood remains a tricky one.. personally, i think that the ot prohibition of blood is more of a statement of respect for life and in particular respect for the life of the animal that lost it life in providing food for man.
similarly, it was prohibited for a calf to be cooked in the milk of its mother.. with blood transfusions, no one actually dies and, therefore, in my view blood transfusion is more a matter of personal conscience than centrally dictated law.. undeniably though, it is clear that risks are associated with blood transfusions, particularly hepatitis c.. if an alternative were available, would you not choose this every time over whole blood?
would this not then justify the current jw stance?.

Metaphors from English GCSE essays
by Simon inthese are metaphors from 2002 english gcse essays.
some of them are absolutely superb!her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two other sides gently compressed by a thigh master.his thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a tumble dryer.she caught your eye like one of those pointy hook latches that used to dangle from doors and would fly up whenever you banged the door open again.the little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't.mcmurphy fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a paper bag filled with vegetable soup.her hair glistened in the rain like nose hair after a sneeze.her eyes were like two brown circles with big black dots in the centreher vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.he was as tall as a six-foot-three-inch tree.the hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left york at 6:36 p.m. travelling at 55 mph, the other from peterborough at 4:19p.m.
at a speed of 35 mph.the politician was gone but unnoticed, like the full stop after the dr. on a dr pepper can.john and mary had never met.
