i was at a first aid course the other day and was told that americans no longer teach mouth to mouth resusatation which i think is quite possible but the reason given was that 1 out of 3 people in the states is either hiv or has hep b or c i find that hard to believe , any ideas ?.
I took a Red Cross CPR course this spring and the instructor acknowledged that the America Heart Association changed their recommendations to only chest compressions. Not long after taking the class I was talking to a friend who is an ER doctor and he confirmed only doing the chest compressions. It is exhausting when done right!
Did you know you need to crack the breast bone or you're not being effective? That was an eye opener for me.
my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 1. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 2. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 3. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 4. i swear, i thought it was only a couple of years at most since i wrote part 4 of "my life and how jwd came to be".
i re-read it after someone posted to it and brought it back on active topics and it was kind of prophetic in a way ... well, i had the 5 years part right if nothing else:.
it would be nice to visit the site (or whatever one is around then) in 5 years time to let people know how we're doing and find only a few of the same people still around.
I will add my thanks! I remember finding this site through Freeminds and asking Randy if he thought it was safe to join. I'd left the wts but hadn't gotten to the point I knew they did not have the truth. My mom was still alive and I wanted to leave the door open if she needed me for anything.
Your story is probably much like many of ours. And I do think it a bit dramatic in a good way! Setting off for a wonderful new life in a new country! I'm so glad it's gone well for all of you!
Blessings to you all.

we all stood under an old walnut tree, gathered around a homemade alter with a basin and jug set upon it.. a female ordained priest led the ancient ceremony of christening the child into the christian faith.
the sun broke out as we sang a hymn.
of praise.
What a beautiful experience; thanks so much for sharing. Emma
has anyone who has attended a district convention this year seen any protestors or demonstrators?.
have you ever protested or demonstrated or maybe even handed out literature at a convention or assembly?
what happened?
What about showing up with upbeat music, friendly smiles, maybe a bake sale or food and handing out flyers? Something like attracting more flys with honey. They need to see how happy and content with life poztates are.
i have been lurking on here for some time and i finally decided to join the fray.
i am 25 years old and was raised in the society.
fortunately when i was 8, my father left the organization and this allowed me to see the wrold from both angles, the jw (mom) and not (dad).. at first, i was strongly on the side of the witnesses and i even allowed myself to be convinced that getting baptised at 11 was a good idea.
Welcome and thank you for sharing your story. I'm so sorry about the loss of your husband. You are blessed with your daughter.

every body has a thread about r u attending the memorial or whats gon happen who's gon partake...what i want to know whats the best memorial that you missed or skipped?.
for me it was the first memorial i missed.
i stopped going to the hal in 04 but, got conned into going to the memorial in 05. in 06 i wasn't having any of it.
My first one. We'd gone to Cancun. i remember looking up at the huge moon hovering over the ocean and how remarkably peaceful it felt. It wasn't ujntil we got home and found a memorial invite that I realized what night it was that I was admiring the moon. Haven't been since and that must have been fifteen years ago - how time flies.
mark 12:30. and you must love jehovah your god with your whole heart.
and with your whole soul and with your whole mind and with.
your whole strength.. .
Well, the WT likes to say that but they really meany "governing body." They've made them one and the same by their actions.
i have a scan of the question box but i can't figure out how to upload it so i. will just type it out.
i can guarantee you that only we who post on this web.
by jehovah's witnesses have different logos.. congregations or individuals should not use logos or names of the organization's legal.
It's because "the end" is just "around the corner" and "jehovah" is "protecting the brothers" for when the "UN turns on all religion" to "destroy" it. "God's people" are being "protected" by the "faithful and discreet slave." Don't ya know.
it's a powerful weapon isn't it?
death.
it was used on all of us at one stage when we were inside of that cult.
I thought I was choosing death; what bothered me was that I was likely choosing death for my kids, too, and yet even that could not get me back to a k.h. I knew I'd never go back; that was freeing for me, and that last bit of thinking that "they" may just be right still wasn't strong enough to make me do it. There was almost something physical making me know I'd left for good. How evil they are, manipulating people into the inaction of leaving by death threats!
i thought i would enjoy a few hours cathing up on events on the board.. i purchased a kebab pizza and opend a cold beer.
unfortunately i put my cigarette butt out in the newly opend beer can-.
okay by my standards thats not dumb...but has anyone done a dumer thing whilst on this board?.
This happened to one of my coworkers today. We're having a pot luck luncheon and she got a local business to donate 30 heads of Romaine lettuce. She came in yesterday and put all of them in the commercial freezer instead of the fridge. Guess where she is right now?
