  My lawyer told me...is this the case where you live too?

  by Globetrotter in

  2. medical

  i recently filed for divorce.

  i don't want to take my children (15 and 13) away from their jw mom, but i wanted to make sure that i had final say in medical matters.

  my attorney said that in south carolina, legislation was passed that pretty much mandated that doctors provide minor children with life-saving care over any religious objections by parents or hospital committees.

  Another atheist thread

  by Globetrotter in

  2. experiences

  the "what kind of atheist are you" thread sparked a thought and i didn't want it lost, buried deep inside the thread, nor did i want to hijack the thread.

  so, my question is this... .

  if god does not exist, just exactly who/what is the god of the bible and how did he/it get elevated to such status?

  where did I see...

  i recently read a page where someone, using wt style writing, wrote a piece in support of blood and transfusions.

  it looked like it could have come straight out of a watchtower.

  it compared the symbol of blood with an actual life, asking which is more important.. can anyone point me to that thread??

  in another thread (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/65166/1.ashx), wednesday mentioned that one of the confusing points for her was that the dubs claim that the bible was written only for the 144,000, and not for everyone.

  what is their reasoning on this?

  can someone (blondie?

  i know that this has been talked about already under a different context, but i had another question about it.... .

  the december 15 wt claims that genesis 6:3 started a 120 year countdown to the flood.

  our watchfulness takes on greater urgency .

  my son told me the other day that he and his sister are just about the only kids at the kh their age that go to public/private schools.

  almost all the other kids are home-schooled.

  i was rather shocked.

  Witnesses coming Saturday... I need HELP!!!!

  by Globetrotter in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i got into a rather heated discussion this morning with my unbaptised but raised jehovah's witness wife.

  we discussed so many things: feb 1 watchtower article on 607 and 1914, the un, beth sarim, blood, god's mouthpiece here on earth, etc.

  this was yet another attempt on my part to try to plant a seed of doubt.
