britain - a high court judge has ruled that the son of two jehovahs witnesses can be given a blood transfusion despite religious objections from his parents.. mr justice moylan was told by doctors that the very young boy had suffered severe burns in an accident and might need a blood transfusion.
the judge concluded that a blood transfusion would be in the youngsters best interests in spite of the deeply held views of his mother and father.. the judge said a health trust with responsibility for treating the boy had asked for a ruling.
he did not name anyone involved and did not give the childs age.. judgment - www.jwleaks.org/blood/case-no-fd14p00803.
I remember when a young sister received court-ordered transfusions.
At the time, I didn't know if it were better that she live or die.
If she lived, then the court would be proved right.
If she died, then she would be dead, but have died a martyr's death.
Pretty f'd up thinking.
Man, oh, man.
thw wts likes to play games with their statistics.
one interesting but truly tragic is the number of jwhovah's witnesses who commit suicie.. now i suspect that if a person commits suicide shortly before or after they are disfellowshipped then the elders would say that person wasn't a witness or that they had done something so terrible that they were too guilty to admit it and by their action of committing suicide they pretty much declared they were no longer a jw.. yup fancy talk to make sure any crap didn't fall on them.. so my question.. do you know of cases like this?
if so then can you answer a few more questions.. had this person been dfed or in real danger of being dfed or whatever the equivalent is if they were never baptized?.
That is one challenging first post.
Hopefully, time and treatment will continue to improve your life.
mom: yes?.
you dont want to make jehovah sad, do you mom?.
mom: okay.. .
Animate and insert on JW tv.
by looking at cdn court cases.. i knew i would find him if i persisted.. there is clear evidence, in my view, that beginning some time, probably in early 2010, but perhaps earlier, that mr. jones developed a delusional disorder with a primary religious focus.
mr. jones accounting of the development of his belief that he is jesus christ, is consistent with the known development of psychotic disorders.
mr. jones describes a period of time where he felt that he had some greater purpose or was meant for something important although he was unable to really identify what that was.
On a toast a?
Manna, that's a mess-ed up a!
i have been collecting the public talk outlines.
i have almost all of them but there are a few missing.
i have tiles for some but just numbers for others.
Il a oublie.

As per the balladeer Mark Knopfler:
I go down to Speaker's Corner
I'm thunderstruck
They got free speech, tourists, police in trucks
Two men say they're Jesus one of them must be wrong

Good job.

Stopped watching Life of Brian eons ago because of my JW conscience.)

after all the jokes and satire on this website about jw's only being able to amount to window washers and house cleaners, the cover page of "how to enjoy your work" showing a window washer and cleaner in the back ground.
i almost wonder if some awakened, still-in, from this site is part of the writing department or illustrations and put that in there as an inside joke for us?.
My observation is that these are not older people. Flash forward 30 years or so and see if you're happy or even able to do menial labor. I suspect not. But I forgot that the new system will be here by then and you won't have to worry about your future.
Was going to post the same thought.
I'm 70 years old, do not own my own home, have no benefits, have arthritis, expensive meds, no degree, my car needs repairs, my spouse is delusional, we cannot ask our children for help (I feel guilty for having had children in this evil system instead of devoting more of my life to WTS, and I realize that my present circumstance is undoubtedly because of not fully having followed WTS instructions and should have had a vasectomy) as they have left the truth and I am dutifully shunning them.
Can you please send one or two elders over to show me an appropriate article to read?
