i just signed a petition to put a stop to phony "gay cures" happening right now in france - and touring to another 9 countries.
this has to stop - these "gay cures" are extremely dangerous and so damaging it drives many to self-harm and even suicide.
with sessions planned in 9 more countries, france must lead the way.
Thank you, Irondork for bringing this to light!
Yes, it can be dangerous. I should know, I have been through it, including electroshock (ECT). In the end, it just doesn't work, and many times people end up just as confused if not moreso than before the "Cure". And you are right, the self harm that it sometimes causes can be very damaging, not only emotionally, but physically. My body will never be the same.
i was just thinking that out of the 200 jws that i actually know, at least 4 of them to my knowledge are pedophiles.
i know for a fact, through personal confidences.
that means, as far as my circle of jovo friends/acquaintances goes, 2% of them are kiddy fiddlers.. without mentioning names or details, how many do you know of for a certainty to be pedos, and what percentage does it work out at, considering all your circle of jovo friends?.
I know 2 for a fact. One is my cousin in law who is an Elder and got busted for child porn on his computer. The other Elders looked the other way, and he is still serving with full priveleges. The other one used to live 3 doors down from us when I was growing up, and he had a young daughter. He too got busted by the police for child porn, and is a registered sex offender. I get sick whenever I think about the possibility that he abused his daughter.
The government needs to castrate those who abuse kids, and make them go to mandatory therapy for the rest of their lives. I know it may not stop them, but it may be a big deterrant.
severe blood conservation appears safe in cardiac surgery for jehovah's witnesses .
severe blood conservation in conjunction with cardiac surgery is not associated with long-term adverse consequences, according to a new study published in archives of internal medicine.
investigators from the cleveland clinic and the nhlbi compared 322 patients who were jehovans witnesses with an equal number of matched controls.
Here's another article which gives some more details.
What a good, honest, wholesome man he was! A true role model for everyone.
That's really interesting, thanks for sharing!
Is there a link to accompany the image which gives some more details? It would be neat to see the image a bit smaller too.
Living here in Dallas, we have had our share of twisters, including the outbreak about 3 months ago, but doesn't come close to the one that I saw north of Minneapolis in I think June of 1987. I have always been fascinated by tornadoes, but I also know to fear and respect nature.

Thank you Mouthy! I will be sure to send him out a nice card with some words of encouragement. I just called and left him a message, letting him know that you started these threads so that he can see the encouragement and support from others, in case he isn't aware.
He and his wife have done a LOT to help others, now it is time to show him the same support, love, and empathy in return!
I hope you are doing well!!!

I am very sorry for your loss Rick. May you find the strength to deal with this.
i am thinking about taking a vacation over there.
if you have been there, tell me how you like it.
thanks!.
I've only been there on day excursions while cruising different countries in the Caribbean. It is a fun place to visit, lots of scenery and shopping, and some good food. Be sure to find a tour group so that you can see the Mayan ruins, and if you are there for more than a day, there are some great snorkeling excursions. While you are in Belize City, just take care not to wander too far off the beaten path, and beware of pickpockets. I saw a Lady get her wallet stolen from her purse there...
WhaHappened, that twisty cactus plant snake thingy is neat looking, but I would hate to get into a fight with it!-lol Glad you got some nice pictures! I bet that you will love South America when you go, I haven't been yet, but it is on my bucket list.

getting all the usual apologist nonsense and people who have little understanding of the case or the way the society works.

Here's a clickable link for you...

Nathan, you are one of the most balanced posters here! If more people were like you, this site would be a LOT better than it already is! I appreciate your positive attitude, and the fact that you give others a chance, especially when they are ridiculed and bullied for what they believe in.
You are a Good person!!!
