Great news!

The court has also restored his lawsuit on behalf of the estate alleging the Watchtower Society and its lawyers used mis-representation and deceit to convince his 16-year-old daughter Bethany chemotherapy and blood transfusions would not help cure her cancer and were experimental.

This is the first case I'm hearing about that is using misrepresentation of blood transfusion as a bases. Should Lawrence win this case (and we all hope he does), this could pave the way for more cases against the WT from family members of those who died refusing blood.

for example, the trade name of tylenol also has a generic name of acetaminophen.

aleve is also called naproxen.

In Pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a trade name and generic name. For example, the trade name of Tylenol also has a generic name of Acetaminophen. Aleve is also called Naproxen. Amoxil is also called Amoxicillin and Advil is also called Ibuprofen. The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin. Pfizer Corp. Announced today that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of "cocktails", "highballs" and just a good old-fashioned "stiff drink". Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of: MOUNT & DO. Thought for the day: There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

The Service Overseer nearly cried from the podium.

by 5go in

he was giving the part about giving your riches to jehovah the watchtower.

you could tell there was a conflict going on in his head, while he was giving it.

you know he probaly has an idea that "jehovah provides things, so don't worry about it" .

DevonMcBride

Maybe he's having a crises of conscience? Hopefully we'll see him posting on here someday.

Is a JW "discount" legal?

by Open mind in

dragon lady's thread on do-it-yourself lemonade got me thinking about the dubs and "pioneer discounts" and such.

my first thought was, what if an ex-jw had a business that included a "jw surcharge"?

of course, the dubs wouldn't go, but some folks might patronize them for their anti-jw stance.

DevonMcBride

I would imagine that any type of "JW discount" would only be known within the JW community and therefore they would probably get away with it.

I saw the King Tut exhibit last March. It was fascinating.

If you come to Philly after the exhibit closes there are two other places I highly recommend visitinng. The Mutter Museum (http://www.collphyphil.org/mutter.asp) and Eastern State Penitentiary (http://www.easternstate.org/) .

Barbara's CD - Answering the Critics

by Hoping4Change in

it would be interesting to hear what people think will be the things (if any) that jw's wont be able to deny from barbara's work.

for example, over on the topix boards, many are crying out that the "dismissed with prejudice" documents prove nothing and that there is no "proof" any settlements were paid.

i havent hardly begun sifting through the mountain of material, and it may be too early to start a thread like this, but it would be good to hear some comment and opinions that "answer the critics" about this bundle of material..

DevonMcBride

Some of the brainwashed JW's on the Topix board are insinuating that the Associated Press conspired with Silentlambs to rip apart the WT. They're either really in denial or they just don't want to admit the WT screwed up big time.
