No offence here but i have to agree with blacksheep on this.It's easy for somebody to sit there and criticise. I hate all of this anti-bush thing, nobody and i mean NOBODY is ever suitable for you guys. Besides what good would pulling the troops out of Iraq actually bring? It would mean that the whole war had been totally pointless. Ok so we hear storie about roops been fired on etc. this has alwys been the case in warfare. the ony difference now is that it is publicised more by media attention.

A religion of doing nothing
by Elsewhere ini keep noticing how most of the problems with jws is that they have a habit of doing nothing in many different situations.
they are a religion of doing nothing, unless it serves the organization.they let themselves and their children die... because they don't take bloodthey do not take action to stop abuse... leaving it in jehover's hands (tm)they don't serve in the militarythey don't votethey don't get involved in the community... unless it is for helping the organizationthey don't make charitable contributions... unless it is for helping the organizationthey don't help non-jws... unless there is a surplus from helping jwsthey don't talk to family and friends who are not jw's... shunningthey don't interact with non-jw's... unless it is to serve the organization by preachingthey don't observe holidays or birthdays.
it seems like the only actions they ever take are things related to selling more books..

Lol, dont think that im gonna tell her you said that... her head might start to swell up . I'm afraid that i haven't seen any such video and quite honestly i think tha is quite absurd. If my mother was to do that i would be absolutely devastated ... you can'y just shun somebody because they do not think the same way as you. How rude is that?? tut tut.

Would be interested to find out if there are. I'm pretty sure that i have not heard of any similar here in the UK to be honest.
Btw, i liked the mans earlier comment about how he would use violence. That sounds good to me

Yeah i understand what you are saying but i believe that no matter how much you think about it mentally and try to 'prepare' yourself you will not be able to act in this way when put under the pressure of the situation.
The famous saying : 'What people say and do are two different things'. Of course though if i was in that situation i would want to be helped and i respect you for preparing yourself physically for the challenge. If only school these days wasn't so jam packed i could get me some of them defence lessons. Although i have never heard of that in England? Is it a foreign thing?

That's a good point blondie. In a situation like that i don't belive that it would come down to a matter of race or religion. It really does depend on the individual. Many people would protest that they would help. However, if it came into practise many people would not. To be honest i don't think anyone could truthfully anser that unless they were put under the pressure of the situation.
Well in this case Blondie your neighbour would be the person who is being attacked as she is not the person that is in the wrong.

Although i agree with some of the things that you have said we also need to realise that if everybody led 'their lives' then ideally it would be a perfect world. Although we all know this is impossible, they strive to in a way 'convert' people because they believe that they are doing what is right and helping people.
As for the comment that JW shun their families that are not part of the KH, i have to say that this is quite unommon where i come from. Having a split amount of Jw's, disfellowshipped Jw's and non-Jw's i have never known this to happen. Speaking from the experience of my mother i do not believe that she would ever be able to ignore her family merely based on a religion.
That must be for the hard hearted Jw's out there.... xLaurax

St. Louis: Blood transfusions would have saved woman's life, doctor says

Hmm.... i can see the point that you're trying to make. However, i do believe that a person should have the right to choose as to whether they want blood transfusions or not. I, personally think that it is an old rule from the bible that needs updating, as it dates back to when people belived that blood was essentially 'the person' and so to put somebody elses blood in their body would be unclean.
This does pose a potential problem to doctors however, given the oath that they are required to take on becoming a doctor. Basically that they prevent death by whatever is possible for them to do. Hmm.... tricky.
