It is so strange that with some people...there is NO reasoning with them. I think that is how mind control works though...further proof that it is a cult.

It does seem that every time I have ever heard her speak, she was slurring her words, and "on" something.I am sure there is so much more to come on the reason for her death. I hope the baby is healthy and gets to have a calm life.

I just heard that on the radio......How sad. I hope she gets to be with her son, and poor little baby, being born into all those tragedies.

QUESTIONS TO ASK TO OPEN THEIR EYES AND SAVE LIVES
by aanita inquestions to ask to open the eyes of jehovah's witnesses and save some lives.
my first question is - you use acts 15 saying "abstain from blood" as if applied to modern emergency transfusions of whole blood but isn't it balanced by matthew 12:7 where christ says god wants "mercy not sacrifice" when surely the death of even one single adult or child is sacrifice;.
my second question is - isn't it significant that 1 samuel 14:32-35 says to stay alive all saul's men ate blood with meat and were not punished with death; they only had to build an altar to show they were sorry it had been absolutely necessary, and that was due to the mosaic law then being in effect;.

Here are my dad's responses to what I sent....just what you wrote.
- Abstain from blood…just like all other guidelines Jehovah has put in place for humans it has its value for time indefinite. Thou shall not kill. It doesn’t say shall not kill except to preserve one’s own life or in case of wars or…
- Jehovah does want mercy not sacrifice, but not at the sacrifice of his other commandments; In first Samuel as throughout the Hebrew Scriptures Jehovah made certain sacrifices of his own to allow his chosen people to survive and fulfill his will…wars, killings, angels killing the opposing army’s…all part of Jehovah’s moving his plan forward with his chosen people.
- I don’t have an answer here it would take some research on my part and I don’t have time right now.
- The natural wonder of the human body is by Jehovah’s design…individuals have no control over these bodily functions…No choice to abstain or not to abstain.
Whether the Watchtower Society has it 100% correct or not, Jehovah will look favorably upon Tamra’s decision, because she place 100% faith in Jehovah. There are some things in life where you have to hold true to your convictions and take a stand regardless what others think or say.
Jesus didn’t burden mankind with as many rules as in the Hebrew Scriptures; however the Hebrew Scriptures gave mankind life sustaining guidelines. Jesus just gave a couple of commandments “love your neighbor…” and “abstain from blood…” obviously Jesus placed an enormous value on this commandment.
There is a new Blood publication out (August 2006) “Blood Why So Valuable”, I would be happy to send you a copy.
Love ya

Name "UNWRITTEN" Rules That JWs Are Supposed To Follow
by minimus inas with the scribes and pharisees, there are a number of unwritten rules that witnesses are supposed to follow.
here's a couple : "worldly" kids in society depictions are shown quite often wearing their baseball caps backwards.
jehovah's witness youths would not want to imitate that "look".

It sounds so UNBELIEVABLE...but, here, we know it is true! It makes me so happy I didn't meet with the elders and just DA'd myself. I think it would have caused me a nervous breakdown. (Well, a worse one...LOL)
