to save trauma victims, doctors may swap blood with cold water till patients diedoctors at the university of pittsburgh medical center plan to treat trauma patients with an experimental procedure that induces hypothermia by replacing their blood with freezing saltwater.. .

If this becomes an established ER protocol, I bet they'll cobble together some version of a dialysis machine, except it won't actually be doing any dialysis, it'll just be "circulating" the blood. And, lo and behold, this new machine will take about an hour before the highly diluted blood starts making its way back into the JW's body.
Hey, if it helps save some otherwise death-sentenced JWs, I'm all for it.

jesus' style of illustrations often employed the use of extremes.
Not sure how you define "traction", but almost 2300 views isn't bad.
Jay Walters, aka Amazing, hasn't posted here in a long time, but his strategy of awakening his family gradually by keeping his elder hat and using the family study to plant seeds of critical thinking skills was a blueprint that also worked well for our family.
Thank you Jay!

my mom has not been to any meetings or participated in field service since august 2013. she cannot walk due to all her medical conditions.
she is either in bed or sitting in a wheel chair.. our family hired a caretaker monday - friday to help her eat, take her to the bathroom and sit with her in case she needs anything.
in the evenings and weekends, we have family members take care of her.
I remember when the "15 minute" option was put into effect. For someone like my aging Mother with multiple health problems, it truly has been a "loving provision". (I can't believe I just typed that.)
What's unloving is the whole hour-reporting, number-centric approach to FS and the labels (regular publisher, irregular, inactive) and guilt that go along with it. I'm pretty sure my Mom has always been able to get in at least an hour or two a month, but for her, it's comforting to know that the 15 minute option is there if she needs it.
The only way she will ever miss a month of FS is if she's in a coma. At this stage of her life, it's an integral part of who she is.

before i dive into the actual write-up of this experience, let me put some things straight.. i have thought long and hard if i should write more about my experiences during the 10+ years at different branches.
during these years i worked from financial department, service department, home office and different it assignments.
as you can imagine one sees and hears and reads a lot of stuff going through different stations in different countries.

i was outraged at this and had to post it.. http://jehovahswitnessreport.com/blog/jw-refuses-to-provide-wedding-stationery-to-gay-couple.
i think she is a hypocrite and i bet she sells her invites to fornicators, or does she ask them if they are having sex before marrige, before she takes their money?.
i was never like this when i was a jw, it's even more disturbing that she is going to ask her elders what to do.
Apparently "Jill", the owner of Just For You Invitations, has no problem creating a "Mass booklet" that even the priest liked!

Thank you for making us the most beautiful wedding invites, mass booklets and seating plan. All our guests complemented our stationery choice. I think more than any other complement we had the personalised framed plan for our 25o guests looked just the part in the Irish Castle. Our Mass booklets even impressed the priest! Your talent and dedicated service are 1st class. A big thank you.

I wonder if she bothered to check with her elders on that?

(Thanks sir82 !!)
I wonder how long that username/password combo will remain current? Especially if tons of 'postates start watching it.

a new letter no longer allows an elder to be cobe if hes 80 or more.

i wanted to express appreciation to the members of this forum.
there are resources here that are deep.
like we heard from the stage, "what is your depth and breadth of bible knowledge?
Sorry I didn't get here approx 24 hours ago to weigh in the most important issue here.....
.....the PORK CHOPS!!
Even though your wife said they turned out great, here's something to think about for future pork fests:

May 25, 2011 -- Just in time for the start of grilling season, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has updated guidelines for safely preparing pork. The USDA recommends that pork be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
The federal agency says it is lowering the recommended safe cooking temperature for whole cuts of pork from 160 degrees to 145 degrees and adding a 3-minute rest time.
That temperature should be measured with a food thermometer placed in the thickest part of the meat, then allowing the meat to sit for three minutes before carving or eating.
