  Ectopic pregnancy

  by Whynot in

  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.

  Thats a case of a co going off on his own tangent (imagine that).

  yes its acceptable for witnesses. Ectopic pregnancies are virtually never viable and would result in the death of mother and baby. Its not a “choice” for an abortion its viewed as a nonviable pregnancy and a medical complication that has to be resolved. Yes we delt with that more than once locally. Nothing has changed.

  Its sad that people feel these imbeciles have to be consulted for medical decisions and even more tragic that morons like him cant even get the basics right.

  i live in the des moines iowa area , i would be interested in doing a kingdom hall crash after watching some on youtube, i would love to do that with a group of people.

  i haven't meet any other ex jw around here.

  i was never baptized, i always knew i could never live up to jehovah's standard so i never did even consider baptizing.

  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.

  I agree that they wont stop. They still make money. Cities love the conventions. Richmond (a city in virgina, usa) throws discounts left and right and begs the org to come every year. These things still make money, books or not.

  To be specific I think the wagons are circling Trump and he knows it. I just hope that, in trying to save his own skin, he doesn’t do anything as terrible as start a war or foment civil strife. Or that if he does attempt this, his authority can be removed swiftly.

  Lol dear god slim... thats as crazy as your collapse theories. Of course bill did bomb an aspirin factory as a distraction from monica.

  Leaked videos - Why?

  by NewYork44M in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  thank you to those that have passed on "leaked" videos.

  one point that i have not seen discussed is "why" apostates are getting these videos.. are videos getting out because of a lack of internal controls, or are there more than a few disloyal insiders that are more than happy to pass on inside information.

  or, is there a strategic intent of releasing leaked videos?.

  Along with what fay said, there are those inside, high up, who dont believe a word but have no plans to leave. They have devoted their lives to the religion and have really nowhere else to go.

  Has the Governing Body ever been right?

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i asked this question to a relative after mentioning several situations where teachings were changed or readjusted (new light) and they have two reasons.

  yes, they are correct because look at how the preaching work has grown through the decades and the advancements in witnessing and the second reason was the doctrine of the trinity and how the society opposes that.

  i didn’t really have a response, especially for the trinity doctrine.. does the governing body have the rejection of the trinity belief correct?.

  Nature is amazing :)

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i studied biology at uni and specialised in animal biology (wolf behaviour) but i've always liked natural history.. even if i never went to uni, i'd still be amazed by nature and i'd still watch nature programs on tv.. i'd like start a thread where posters can post nature clips that are in some way amazing.. the vid below shows wild wolves in the canadian arctic encountering humans for the first time.. these wolves haven't been exterminated by human hunters and therefore haven't learnt to fear humans.

  result: wild wolves approach human strangers almost like dogs.

  pretty cool.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izgavk7fovu .

  Then you are a monster. The people working with those animals were not always responsible for them being there or aware of their past. The company propagandized their "ecological rescue" and put their lives in danger.
  Watch the blackfish documentary.

  I may be, and i did.

  You need to rewatch if you have anything but contempt for anyone associated with tillicums treatment. I respected very much those who worked left seaworld and worked for the end of the captive orca program.

  These wernt innocent kids. They knew and saw more than enough to know the outright tourture being inflicted on the orcas and admitted it in the documentary. To work as a keeper you have to have a degree in biology. Far from innocent.

  For what's it worth that was my view long before blackfish was made. The facts speak for themselves: an orca has NEVER attacked a human in the wild. In all of mankinds recorded history. Not one. The variable isnt hard to figure in the cases of orca attack.

  That said, if you want to take all my remarks in context regarding some animals thriving and others not so much, then we have a basis for discussion. If you want to call me a monster i will 100% own it. Im a monster. But only slightly less so than those who were associated with the captive orca program in marine parks.
