  Ectopic pregnancy

  by Whynot in

  2. medical

  ectopic pregnancies, when detected, are usually treated by surgically removing them.

  i always understood that this procedure was ok for jehovah's witnesses.

  but the subject came up during pioneer school.

  What an idiot of a Circuit Overseer! I give you credit for remaining dignified and polite as you reasoned with him.

  I would have called him ignorant!

  I know of a Regular Pioneer and wife of an Elder who had an ectopic pregnancy and had it taken care of. No congregational punitive measures were leveled at them.

  "What a wonderful occasion to be here. An occasion based on truth, honesty and sincerity. Nothing can stand in the way of these wonderful qualities. No doubt all of us here value these qualities, and base our very lives on the foundation of such personality assets. My dear friends _____ have certainly done this, and thats why we are here...It is a privilege to share a few words today as the 'best man'. etc...."

  We also have loved the show, and always tried to defend it when others criticize the plot...BUT, the last couple of seasons have really been a case of beating a dead horse (A zombie if you like)

  But, because we have been so invested in it for so long, we keep watching and hoping it gets better.....but it does not....

  Here in Australia, the HIGHEST ranked Catholic Bishop is due to be sentenced to jail for not reporting sex abuse cases he was made aware of.

  If that happens, a valuable legal precedent will be set to show that failure to report is punishable!

  If one of the GB also is made to stand trial, I wonder if the rest of the GB will hang him out to dry and abandon him??

  https://youtu.be/pzdxen9rvw0.

  as the leaked financial meetings show, watchtower (by it's own admission) has to liquidate 3000+ properties quickly.

  how do they choose?

  When the so called "Almighty" creator of EVERYTHING stops providing funds, then that should tell the Organization everything!

  Time to remind JWs of this famous quote from CT Russell!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with the ever present issue of the society seeming to run out of money, and constantly asking the flock for more donations, maybe it is time to revive this quote!.

  the leaked financial dept videos that have done the rounds, clearly show the society is in desperate trouble financially.. so, where is the "almighty's hand"?

  where is his ability to provide funds?

  I just wonder if the new generation (overlapping) of millennial JWs even know of this quote? And would they even realize the irony?

  Anyone think Assemblies will stop?

  by blownaway in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  not completely but the expensive renting of halls or assembly hall ownership.

  maybe with streaming they could have assemblies at the kh and stream the program.

  i bet they cut costs in a lot of ways.

  In most parts of Australia, they simply use the Assembly halls. So those halls are pretty well used EVERY weekend of the year (with both Circuit Assemblies and Regional Conventions)

  That way the Org gets to charge "Rent" every weekend on an assembly hall that was well and truly paid for many years back!

  Its pure profit!
