is it the pedophile thing, ngo, generation change, blood issue?
what do you think it is?.
Pandemic lack of educated people, I?m afraid that even if they do survive recent storms their current stance toward higher education will eventually render them out of touch with reality, which is something new generation certainly are not going to tolerate.
To add: if UN thing didn't make a dent till know it is unlikely to do so in the future
child abuse? possibly, still hard to tell, but I don't think so, dubs accept doctrine about needing 2 witnesses to the crime as given
the 14 year old jw girl from vernon, bc, has just lost her court case in the bc supreme court in vancouver to not have blood transfutions.

questions from readers.
did the serpent lose legs or feet as means of movement as a result of the divine curse recorded at genesis 3:14?.
at genesis 3:14 we are told: "and jehovah god proceeded to say to the serpent: ?because you have done this thing, you are the cursed one out of all the domestic animals and out of all the wild beasts of the field.
I agree that it may sound incredible but not entirely improbable, whether you believe in god or evolution. In fact, taking evolution in this matter seems easier as it would explain bizarre randomness. Read this: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/03/000317051940.htm

I rest my case.
a 14 year old jw girl in vernon, british columbia, canada needs a blood transfusion.
the watchtower society lawyers.
both parents are jw.
I wonder if those statements would still stand if she decided to become sexually active and go on birth control. I bet you that she wouldn't have the right to decide what to do with her body then.
Very good point CeriseRose
ValiantBoy also summarized it well:
They say she is old enough to make that decision herslf. But suppose her decision was to take blood? Suddenly she would no longer be old enough.
Makes you wonder doesn't it?

The news also said the classic line "She would view it as being sexually assulted or robbed if blood was forced on her".
That is a classic sentence JW are programmed to use in order to shock the judges into compliance with their (WTS) demands. I wonder if that is really what little girl feels.
On the other hand she never even had time to develop her own personality do decide what is right or wrong.

some of the pythons do have primitive structures that are presumed to be the vestiges of what once were legs.
I accept it may still be not the smoking gun but it is something interesting, wouldn't you agree?

i wonder what the profiles of these people are.
the fact is that every sentence they write is taken by over 6 000 000 people almost as a word of god.
(in fact most of us here, i would imagine, at one time or another felt the same).
Thanks Lehaa, good to know that (love your posts)
The fact is that almost every article I've ever read has had fatalistic undercurrent which basically goes along the line "resistance is futile" i.e. don't try changing anything until the kingdom comes, which is a devastating reasoning responsible for many JW and xJW not trying to change their predicament until they are deep in problems due to listening to such line of reasoning. One of most vivid examples is verbiage used to describe higher schooling which to unsuspecting souls was like a poison in a cake.
While I do realize that such stance goes much further than writing department alone and basically permeate whole of the WT society. Nevertheless, writers often have degree of expressive freedom which they may use or abuse. How they will deal with that depends great deal on both their inner character and level of "worldly" education.
Why do I keep repeating education?
It is not to point at general incompetence when talking about certain issues but because level of education is general guideline about real depth of someone?s thinking abilities and how much he/she rejects official dogmatism to infiltrate their work.
On the other hand, importance of professionalism cannot be overemphasized. While it is great to have sharp-witted people around it is equally important that what they write is not just based on their "educated" guess-work but on depth of understanding or all related issues. It is like if someone says being an engineer start talking about medicine. While what he says may sound smart to non-professional public, true medical professional will quickly notice just opinionated guess-work.
Now, when you are printing your literature to be read by about 17 million people then this importance gets whole new level, especially if we are talking about international audience.
