  police detectives being guilty of sexual misbehavior

  Wrong. Cops were indicted for rape, not sexual misbehavior. And they are not "being guilty."

  In Tibet girls marry at 8 and boys at 12 - imagine that!

  But in the US a 16 year old boy can legally marry a 60 year old man.

  Darwin's lack of evidence

  while making bread this morning and between answering the door and phone calls, i listened on steam radio to the programme in our time with melvyn bragg.

  his panel of experts explained how the discovery of thousands of bird fossils has revolutionised our perception of avian evolution.

  i recall watchtower literature smugly presenting darwin’s admissions in his origin of the species that the geological evidence for bird evolution is “imperfect” in fact missing.

  don’t confuse bald assertions with evidence. -You

  "Bald assertions" don't validate interpretations and conclusions either. -Me

  And let me put it another way: My "bald assertions" don't make your interpretations and conclusions any more valid.

  we have incontrovertible proof that birds are descended from small carnivorous dinosaurs called Theropods.

  Maybe. But don't confuse evidence with interpretation and conclusions.

  JC letter of invitation. Do they always get signed?

  by StarTrekAngel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was just shown a jc letter from a friend and i noticed that the bottom of it was signed by tree elders.

  the letter specifically stated that it was an invitation to a "judicial committee" due to the brother having a marital relationship that was not aligned with bible principles.. i am asking because i remember reading experiences of brothers who demanded their jc be arranged over certified mail with signed letters to which elders refused to do.

  since they could not get this done the matter was dropped and no dfing ever happened.

  You are invited to attend or you are summoned to be present? An invitation can be declined without consequences.

  if any alternatives would come under consideration, which in turn, would speak directly to the question(s) of whether they are "more work" and/or "less profitable."

  "You can't treat leukemia without blood products."

  As it relates to the specific case on this thread, the Court decided that doctors should try alternatives first. Relating to the treatment of leukemia, as a general rule, when chemo is used to treat the disease, blood is also used to treat the effects that chemo has on the blood of the patient, as you already explained. As my linked article shows, some JW survive the chemo without blood, others die, but others die too even with the blood. Also as it relates to leukemia, at this time, not based on a doctor's opinion but according to standard medical treatment for the disease, they use blood, not because it is more propfitable or easier but because they know it works- at least short term. Long term, every 9 minutes someone dies from leukemia, even those with the blood transfusions, whether you want to call the BT treatment for leukemia or for chemo.
