i had the chance to speak with a circuit overseer, he was not my circuit overseer and it was my chance to get the offical party line why the watchtower joined the united nations.. .
"are you a jehovah witness he asked me?
(theocratical warfare allows lies according to the gb!
They also joined the United Nations so they could have access to all their real-time human rights rules and regulations
All the above are available to the general public at the following link: http://research.un.org/en/docs.
EVERYONE in their legal department would know where to find this information without having to 'join' (become an NGO) the U.N.
df parent is in hospital icu and surgeon wants to give blood.
parent is df for almost 20 and firmly refused blood for personal reasons (spiritual).. .
my concern is that parent is taking strong stand based on outdated jw gb hlc guidelines.
The following is a sample: Awake , January 8, 1954, at 24 (blood fractions disallowed), The Watchtower , September 15, 1958, at 575 (blood fractions allowed), Respect For The Sanctity Of Blood, The Watchtower , September 15, 1961, at 558-99 (blood fractions disallowed), The Watchtower , November 15, 1964 (blood fractions allowed); see also Associated Jehovah’s Witnesses for Reform on Blood , supra note 110.

insurance companies must weigh the risk of hiring a loose lip jw, the watchtower had the nerve to have their legal counsel reply to this author with this bogus statement about the problem dr. bullock had with is loose lip book-keeper who ran to the elders when she read the patients file after the sister was raped and came down with a std.
the sister who ran to the elders had no desire to approach the sister who was raped, she assumed the sister had sex with seven men and decided her "feet were quick to rush to do bad".
january 8, 1947 awake!:.
excommunication is "altogether foreign to biblical teachings.".
it's an unbiblical roman catholic teaching by which "you are looked upon with the blackest contempt... being cursed and damned with the devil and his angels.".
looks like the awaa people are here to stay.
i sense they have withered the rentless criticism and now have been refined for the long haul.
they have been washed in the previous blood of jesus christ and declared fit to the fine fight.
“What I personally found disturbing about Lady Lee's involvement in AAWA is her response (or non-response) to the confidentiality problems at wAAWAh. From what I understand, she is a licensed therapist. Her not speaking out about the outing of people speaks volumes about her objectivity. She also showed a passive-aggresive snarkiness in the way she resigned from this site. I think she needs to heal herself, before she can effectively counsel others.”
The above could also be someone simply writing what s/he "personally found disturbing" about another person's behaviors.
he is accused of performing "abortions" after the birth of live babies.
where does planned parenthood stand on this case?.

Can anyone find one mainstream/credible media outlet that has verified Planned Parenthood's alleged testimony? One? I can't.
The testimony was not before Congress, as was claimed. It was a Planned Parenthood lobbyist testifying regarding a proposed Florida bill; hence, she is neither a physician, nor a lawyer, but a paid, talking head who clearly wasn't qualified to speak to this issue.
Nevertheless, her statement is basically correct: the decision is left to the parents.
This is NOT infanticide. The question being asked is whether doctors should be mandated to intervene to stop the fetus's death. Hence the doctor isn't killing the baby; the baby will die without medical intervention. Infanticide is a positive action; refraining from medically intervening is a negative action.
If this is infanticide, then the parents of children who are born with life-threatening diseases/genetic conditions but allowed to die without medical intervention are committing infanticide also. Yet, wacko Christian fundies would call these people murderers too.
i know that when you take a marriage vow, faithfulness is expected and either party going outside that bond is wrong.
however as i read the bible i seem to notice that in the old testament a woman having relations with anyone not her husband was adultery, however the only way a male can commit adultery is to have relations with another married woman, thereby infringing on another mans wife.
if a married man was to have relations with an unmarried woman or prostitute, this isnt considered adultery.
Interesting timing. I'm in an Islamic Law class. Yesterday, I did the readings for this week's classes and found this interesting tidbit. Since the verses in the Quran concerning the punishments for adultery are all over the place, different groups (Shia, Sufi, Sunni (Hanbali, Hanifi, Maliki, Shafi'i)) all have their own interpretations that factor in everything from allegory to abrogation (a later verse overrules an earlier verse).
There is a group that subscribes to the Theory of the Incomplete Quran. They think that some of the Quran is missing, so they incorporated the Torah's rules regarding adultery because Muslims believe the Torah is also divine revelation. Hence, their very pro-male adultery rules.

If they are radicalized Chechens, they just made Putin's day by exporting their "cause" and validating his past acts against them. ...idiots...
gone are the days of scoffing at ape men.
it used to be you would have jws ridicule evidence of neanderthals existence.
now the wt can't deny they existed so they say,well they were just another race of man.
I have 3.1% neanderthal dna according to 23 andme
And approximately 97.5% of your working (coding) DNA is the same as a mouse. Of course, the statistic is misleading because it considers only coding DNA, not total DNA.

''The sanctity of life in the end is a more powerful reason for me to make the orders than is respect for the dignity of the individual,'' Justice Gzell said in his ruling. ''X is still a child, although a mature child of high intelligence.

I would love to read the complete ruling, but it appears the judge is asserting the state's interest in preserving a minor's life, not the mature minor doctrine.
