yes, i have heard of it. my best friend's wife wanted to do something about her weight. insurance would not cover it. she went to mexico to have it preformed.(cheap there) it turned out pretty bad. complications and infection. had to come back to the states to have it reversed. as i understand it, it is a big "rubberband" installed around a portion of the stomach. i think it is probably relatively safe if it is done here (usa). but, please do not have it done in mexico. there is a reason it is less expensive down there.

Name the good things that Jw's have or believe....
by AK - Jeff inwe always seem to get focused on the bad - and there is plenty of it for sure - and anyone who follows my posts knows i am no wt apologist by any stretch.
but focusing on the postive is a good thing in the 'moving on' process i think too.
what do you think jw's had right?.

i think the things they have "right" are the same things everyone else has gotten right. (fidelity to one's spouse etc). too bad though, the rank and file are just reprogramed automatons. can a robot with a preprogramed response to love or friendship really requite love or friendship? in contrast, the rest of the world can exercise freewill in how they choose friends and express love.

Coincidence? August Awake! - BLOOD - Why So Valuable?
by truthseeker inis it any coincidence that the society have made the main article in the august 2006 awake!
about blood?.
what with shunned father's lawsuit, and kerry's article on the misrepresentation of blood by the watchtower, it strikes me as too convenient for wts to have a whole article on blood.. a quick summary.

how appropriate, they quote the united nations concerning blood. their revulsion to blood and the un. are really equal cornerstones in their house of cards. why dont the poor publishers RUN, not walk, away from the monster which is the governing body?

i thought a memorial was not to be a way to make the deceased the object of adoration.
isnt it supposed to glorify joho and make known the glorious prospect of the ressurection?

Let's play an apostate game with the Awake! magazine!
by slimboyfat inthe most recent awake!
has a really stupid comment from a reader published in response to a story about a brother getting over a drink problem:he stated that those in the congregation "were always by my side to give me encouragement.
" but should he not have been reproved or even expelled from the christian congregation?.

sidd, sounds to me like you were more annointed than the appointed's were. what jerks. that is like someone figuring out the secret of the universe and some jackass says " dont press ahead. wait for einstein to do it."

nice website but............what kind of an idiot is in the middle of an fbi. investigation and then shoots his mouth off for all the world to hear? in the unlikely event that you are not completely full of crap: you are still an idiot.
