  Death with Dignity

  by onacruse in

  i've presented myself on this db with a strong inclination that there is such a thing a death with dignity, including my expressed (and still resolved) determination to refuse a blood transfusion (or any other organ or fluid implant from another human being) to prolong my life (for reasons that have nothing to do with jw pseudo-theology).. in that determination, i obviously have a personal ideal of a "death with dignity.".

  however, last night, i watched an interview wherein the commentator said "there is no dignity in death; there is only dignity in life.".

  it gave me serious pause for thought.. i'd appreciate your perspectives.. craig

  I don't understand how accepting a transfusion or transplant is undignified.

  Getting fed up with fading

  by Pole in

  2. experiences

  ok, so here is my story in put a nutshell: .

  1. i first had "nagging doubts" about the borg some three years ago (after 6 years of being a faithful witness).

  2. i stopped avoiding "apostate" internet sites some 1.5 years ago, which really helped me confirm my doubts.

  Yes, its about the time that you realize that the cage they had you in was only an illusion, that their power over you was imaginary and whatever "reprecussions" they would dole out to get you to do what they wanted were meaningless. When I ceased to care about what they did or thought then they ceased to have any power over me.

  i read the post where some kid let go of a helium balloon at a convention, and everyone was watching it.

  when i used to attend the conventions, i loved distractions.

  by Snapdragon in

  2. beliefs

  i was just reading the thread on how to pick the proper pumpkin.

  (thanks xandria) it got me thinking how i still have this recoil factor when it comes to halloween.

  it was always "satan's holiday" that i still tell my friends that i probably won't participate in the festivities when i decide to have children.. what do you guys do about this issue?
