Current blood card?
by carla in

2. medical
i have a question regarding the current blood card- did the blood card always have a spot where the jw gives the elders the authority to pull the plug (so to speak) and to admit them to a long term facility?

as well as no blood, naturally.

if the elders have no financial responsibility how is this possible?

WI clergy/elder/pastor abuse, etc..

i realize this is a bit old but the attorney general is still looking at cases from any denomination of clergy abuse (pastors, elders, priests, etc..) in wisconsin.

i only stumbled across this due to someone else posting a video and ended up on kim mikey youtube on it.

if anyone is willing to add to the jw abuses issues in wi i'm sure the attorney general would still like to know about it.

Blood question re: sample for testing
by carla in

2. medical
why can jw's give blood samples for testing in a medical setting?

i was with someone once (non jw related) who was getting multiple tests done and they must have taken a good pint all together in separate vials.

how do jw's square this with their blood policies?

non US folks and pumpkin pie
by carla in
1. social
2. humour
sorry, i didn't know how to classify this- on some cooking boards i am on i came across how some do not understand pumpkin pie at all, particularly down under.

there was a whole thread about picking up libby's pumpkin pie filling (and the expense) and then came the subject of vegemite which does not sound good to me but can't say as i have never had it.

with all the sugar and spices what is not to like about it?
