"Juni-Bug" I like that, Baba !
If y'all look around on the site, find the statistics chart on education accomplishments for the various religions. JW's do decently for graduating High School @ 51% compared to the general population. But, check out "college grads"...they are at the very bottom with 6%.

What Homophobia REALLY means.
by darkuncle29 ini know from my own life experience, that repressed sexual expression leads to externalizing that repression and projecting it upon others.
fear, anger, and self loathing is the bottom line.
when i finially was freed of the jw beliefs, and then later came out to friends (actually, i was outed), i had a new awareness dawn on me one day.

Lets put it to the board: How many people think that realone is repressed? Gay? Other?
Cast your votes now!
Yep, (s)he seems very repressed, yet a bit obsessed with the subject. And, I vote bisexual, noting a person can be anywhere on the Klien Grid or the Kinsey Scale and not be sexually active.

Back to Story - Help Nepal's controversial "living goddess" retires By Gopal Sharma Mon Mar 3, 2:49 AM ET
A controversial young Nepali girl worshipped by many Buddhists and Hindus as a Kumari, or "living goddess", has given up her divine position following a request from her family, an official said on Sunday.
The 11-year-old Sajani Shakya was revered for nine years as the Kumari of the ancient temple-town of Bhaktapur, near Kathmandu, in a centuries-old tradition.
"She is no more a Kumari," said Dipak Pandey, a senior official of the state-run Trust Corporation that oversees the cultural affairs in the deeply religious nation.
Pandey said Sajani's family wanted to perform their own religious rituals which required her to give up her divine position and rejoin her family.
Kumaris traditionally retire when they reach the age menstruation.
Last year, Sajani made international headlines after she visited the United States to promote a film by British company about the ancient practice.
Some religious authorities criticised the trip, saying it was against tradition. They even threatened to strip her of the title, but the threat was later withdrawn.
Under the Kumari tradition a girl selected from a Buddhist Newar family through a rigorous cultural process becomes the "living goddess".
She is considered as an incarnation of the powerful deity Kali and is revered by the Hindus and Buddhists until she menstruates after which she must return to the family and a new one is chosen.
"We are trying to find a replacement for Sajani," Pandey said.
Some human rights activists have petitioned the Supreme Court to end the practice saying it denies the girl her normal life.
The apex court is yet to deliver a judgment.

Tal, my friend, I'm sorry your parents are so misled. As JW's...don't they think 'The End' is nearly, almost around-the-corner, not quite here, yet ?
What good is an inheritance to someone in 'Paradise' ™ ?

The part that saddens me most:
"None of the physicians allege there was a medical emergency and the children's vital signs at the time of the transfusions were within the acceptable range," he said.
The legal test for when intervention is required is either the child's life is in danger or there is a risk of serious or permanent impairment.
Justice Brenner noted that the issue of whether the babies were about to die was "not an issue" and the only issue is whether they faced impairment.
Yet...2 babies still died. Impairment, organ or brain damage isn't a Watchtower problem. Besides, 'The End' is really, really near now and Jah will fix 'em up in the New Order, so why worry ?

Apparently, if a JW's child is only at risk of brain damage, that's OK, as long they aren't in immediate danger of dying.

Saturday » March 1 » 2008 Decision to refuse transfusions not just over religion: Sextuplets' parents
Friday, February 29, 2008By Keith Fraser The Province A lawyer for the Jehovah's Witness parents of the four babies who survived the birth of sextuplets last year says the parents chose to refuse blood transfusions not just out of religious conviction.
Shane Brady told B.C. Supreme Court Justice Donald Brenner that the parents opposed the transfusions because their religion forbids transfusions but insisted that they also considered the medical options available.
"The parents were choosing within the range of medical practice. They were excercising reasonable and responsible decisions, religious convictions aside.
"They're entitled to make that choice and every other parent is when choosing for their child when there is a credible, medical range of treatment to chose from."
Brady argued that there were also risks such as infections associated with transfusions and said there was no medical emergency requiring the procedures when the babies were born in January 2007.
He was making arguments during final submissions in court following cross-examination in January of several doctors who provided affidavits for the trial.
Brady said there was a serious scientific debate about when transfusions should be made and argued that there was time for a judicial hearing to hear the parents arguments as to why they had refused the procedures, a move which prompted the government to seize the children in order to carry out the treatments.
"None of the physicians allege there was a medical emergency and the children's vital signs at the time of the transfusions were within the acceptable range," he said.
The legal test for when intervention is required is either the child's life is in danger or there is a risk of serious or permanent impairment.
Justice Brenner noted that the issue of whether the babies were about to die was "not an issue" and the only issue is whether they faced impairment.
Brady responded that though the director of child, family and community sservices of B.C. said there was a risk of "cognitive delay" or mental disability, there was in fact no such risk at the time of the transfusions.
The parents are claiming that their rights were violated when the hospital went ahead with the transfusions.
