  Of course Venter's project will be patented and copyrighted. And why not?

  I was just about to post a new topic on this. Glad I checked to see if anyone else did it already! This is truly amazing - a synthetic gene. It was bound to happen eventually:

  This is a very, very exciting time for science.

  MY DAD MIGHT DIE DUE TO THE 'NO BLOOD' DOCTRINE

  by Mary in

  i don't have much time to post as i'm headed back to the hospital, but my father collapsed this morning and had to be rushed to the hospital.

  in a nutshell: he needs a blood transfusion as his hemoglobin is dropping (bleeding internally), but thanks to this fucking cult, that's not an option...........he'll accept the fractions but those bastards from the blood liaison committee have already shown up to ensure he doesn't cave............... for those of you who still believe, i'm asking you to say a prayer for my dad........and if anyone from crooklyn is reading this: you better hope my father doesn't die due to your fucked up rules, .

  Healing and best wishes to you all, Mary. I'm sorry to hear you're going through this. I know your dad must have been feeling pretty awful. Hopefully, he will continue to recover.

  Have you ever forgotten your baby was in the car?

  what's up with this wave of people forgetting their babies are in the car?

  i'm a certifiable dingbat but i never forgot my kids were in the car.

  if i ever did, i can't see it happening for more than a few minutes and then running back to the car to get them.

  You are right, changeling. I have never understood people leaving their babies in the car in the first place. It is extremely foolish and I can't imagine leaving any very young child alone in a car at all, ever! I think people either consciously or unconsciously have some sort of wish to lose their kids when they do such a thing.

  I recently had to explain to a 3-year oId that she could not stay in the car while I ran in and out of her parents' home. She was mystified that I would expect her to come and go with me, rather than sitting in the car. I explained to her that a lady I know had her twin daughters kidnapped when she left them in a car right next to her at the gas station, and besides that it is illegal in this state to leave a child under age 8 unattended in a vehicle ever. I have seen people here arrested for it, and they deserved it, as far as I am concerned.

  Advice Article-What to do when JWs say you should never trust the critics

  by IsaacJS2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've noticed that this is something witnesses in my area tend to do.

  i consider it an excuse not to think about the issues raised by critics.

  in any case, when they bug us about about returning to the society we often tend to do the "who you gonna believe?

  "God saves babies from the piety of their parents." Apparently, the state also saves babies from the piety of their parents.

  Suicide

  by Nicolas in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know it's a touchy subject, but anyone here has ever thought of suicide while they were still in the organization?

  it seem to me that jehovah's witnesses have a much higher rate of suicide than the rest of the population.

  i contemplated suicide myself when i was struggling to get piece of my life back together after being raised as a "perfect little jw" when i was young.

  Nic - ditto to most of what you said, except that healing can be accomplished. You may always have scars, but that doesn't mean they did not heal. Therapy is very, very helpful, I have found in the past, and am finding it to be so now. Hugs and healing and love to you! -Joy

  you know why witnesses don't shag standing up?

  they're afraid it might lead to dancing.
