  New To The Board

  i just wanted to introduce myself and tell everyone that i have enjoyed many of the posts.

  i wish that this resource was available 7 years ago when i walked away from the organization, it would have helped my transition a great deal.

  i also wanted to say that it is enjoyable to come to a forum that is not on an angry rant about the organization on a constant basis.

  Kind of...was told I could'nt speak at meetings until I was married....I was setting a bad example (I was only studying at the time and this was cming from the mouth of an elder who was a pervert and a thief lol) I was told I would be ' allowed ' to speak and be approved of etc after I got married...no pressure then....so I got married.......and decided that as they'd made me feel so awful that i'd never again comment at a meeting ...and i did'nt

  .Reported the elder for it though and got him to make a grovelling appology to me for his 'un scriptual' order.

  If The Watchtower Allowed You To Ask A Question From Readers......

  Why is it permissable to accept blood fractions if an act of rebellionconstitutes ignoring a 'thing' devoted to destruction and is punishable by death? In Joshua chapter 7 the spoils of war should have be disposed of completely, as the bible says blood should be, and not partly 'used' . Joshua tells us A'chan had ' taken some of the thing devoted to destruction' and used it for his own benefit...
  

  If we apply this principle to the blood issue then blood fractions cannot be permissable.

  The non-surgical abortion pill is RU486, mifepristone.It's supposed to be able to be used up to the 9th week of prenancy. There have been three deaths this year in the UK from it's use this year though., if it's not completely effective profuse continuous blood loss can start and if the pregnancy continues un discovered apparently, the baby will have severe birth defects.
  

  I watched a programme like this last year-it was really disturbing, a foetus-well, 28 week old baby, was left to die on a draining board....while others of the same age in another part of th hospital were being recussitated and helpedthe doctor was cryng, it was pretty awful.

  But it's important that we have the right to choose.I fell pregnant with all three of mine by accident-two using a cap and one the pill- I did'nt want children and was very careful; I think vascectomies are the answer.......

  ......just soooo fed up with former friends looking at me as though im something the dog's just done on the carpet because I wont join them for the memorial......which in our congregation was so farcical it became a cross between a funeral and ' Carry on up the Podium'....... the unofficial, ' Let's see who's daughter can snag an elder's son in that skin tight, especially bought little black dress, whoops-i've just dropped my bible as he was walking towards me again evening...

  So.....charge your glasses everyone and let's drink to the day's text...'An end to hypocracy is in sight,so drink honestly and dont pass on the wine ''Cheers everyone !!!!
