  why isn't the boston globe doing a better job covering this group?.

  after all, the movie spotlight won an oscar about this paper and their groundbreaking journalism into the catholic church covering child abuse.

  jws: Boston is a very Catholic town. According to PEW research, Catholics make up 20.8% of the population while Jehovah's Witnesses make up 0.8%.

  Yeah...but the JWs who are there have a lot of influence

  Reibling hangs his hat in Boston occasionally

  Retracted: "Safety of cardiac surgery without blood transfusion: a retrospective study in Jehovah’s Witness patients"

  i found a retracted medical study that is cited by the bloodless/blood management world.. i wonder when they will get around to recognizing the retraction in the blood management world.

  this study is still being used as a reference - the latest study that cited it was published in 2016.. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-2044.2009.06232.x/abstract.

  notice of retraction the following article from anaesthesia, ‘safety of cardiac surgery without blood transfusion: a retrospective study in jehovah’s witness patients’, by el azab sr, vrakking r, verhage [sic] g and rosseel pmj, published online in wiley online library (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-2044.2009.06232.x/full) on 17 march 2010 and in volume 65, number 4, pages 348-52, has been retracted by agreement between three of the named authors (r vrakking, g verhaegh and pmj rosseel), the journal editor-in-chief, steve yentis, and blackwell publishing ltd. the retraction has been agreed following confirmation by the amphia hospital ethics committee that the study did not have ethical approval as claimed.

  jwleaks: I checked my university access across all medical fields and had all the same type of retraction notices to quite a number of articles, by a certain fraudulent doctor, highly revered by Watchtower in relation to blood management.

  Are you speaking about Joachim Boldt?

  Joyzabel posted a thread for me about him a while back (when I was having "issues" with posting)

  https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5664231412203520/wts-expert-on-blood

  I thought I had posted more about Dr. Boldt's research here, but I must have missed doing so.

  The substance that Boldt's research centered around was hydroxyethyl starch, used extensively by the bloodless/blood management world on JW patients. In fact, used so extensively that when the FDA put a warning on the use of it, the HLC (represented by their buddies in the SABM), petitioned the FDA to still allow them to use it - on JWs - for use in a study co-sponsored by the US defense department. For disaster readiness - trauma patients.

  I have to do something right now...but I will dig up the material and post it here later. it concerns STORMACT, a committee formed right after 9/11. (can't find it on this forum...thought I had posted it here but maybe not...)
  

  *I found it - on this thread here:

  I posted this study to a website I follow - http://retractionwatch.com/

  I am hoping it will come up on their radar and get mentioned by their writing and investigative staff.

  millie: Yes Blondie, its such a problem with the men in the Org that the new guidelines are not to handle it judicially unless its "hard" porn.

  So they finally had to make a judgement call on the severity of different types of porn!
  

  So...what do the elders do now? Call a meeting to examine the porn to decide if it is "hard' porn or not? Ya know...just following orders. Gotta make sure what 'kind' of porn it is...gotta know how to 'handle' it

  the envelope reads "0", and when i click on it i get a black page that reads at the top left, "server error" and i have to back out.

  this has been going on since monday, and i've tried to check my messages from the computer in a regular window (i use chrome), incognito window, and on my phone.

  Judge sanctions WTS - $4k per day penalty for not producing sex abuse documents

  judge sanctions jehovah's witnesses.

  imposes $4000-a-day penalty for not producing documents in sex-abuse case.

  by dorian hargrove, june 24, 2016. a san diego superior court judge has ordered the church of jehovah's witnesses, also known as the watchtower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, to pay $4000 a day for every day that it fails to produce documents requested in a civil lawsuit brought by former parishioner, osbaldo padron, who claims a church elder sexually abused him when he was seven years old.. in a june 23 ruling, expected to be made final today, judge richard strauss admonished the church for willfully ignoring a court order to produce all documents associated with a 1997 body of elders letter that church leaders sent to parishes around the world in a quest to learn about sexual abuse of children by church leaders.. over the course of the past year, the watchtower society and its lawyers have fought hard to keep the letter confidential, claiming that turning over the documents would infringe on the privacy of those mentioned in the letter that were not associated with the case.. in march 2015, the church turned over a heavily redacted version of the letter.

  Worldling9 - "They would have been much smarter to just clean house and get rid of all the pedophiles..."

  And just think about how much control you could have over someone if you held the dirt on them. Heh...you could get someone to do almost anything if you were holding onto shit like that...the secrets you could force them to keep
