  If dreams are to be interpreted as some kind of mental processing of life's events, what does it say about your mental processing if you have no dreams that you are aware of?

  I'd really like to know?

  Child care and abortion - two examples of the complexity of the issue

  in a perfect world, one would hope that no woman would need to consider an abortion.

  there is unfortunately, no perfect world and there does not seem there will ever be a perfect world.

  so consider .... 1. a child rape case in paraguay.. ... but the plot unfolding in paraguay is so dark and twisted that it is currently tearing the south american country apart.it began on april 21 when a mother brought her 10-year-old daughter to a public hospital.

  Fulltimestudent Abortion definitely is a complicated issue. There are a lot of idealistic doctors and medical personnel that struggle with this issue all the time. Sad scenarios for everyone involved.

  Getting rid of field service might seem like a good idea but keeping the rank and file busy in profitable non legally risky, tax free endeavors might be a little harder to accomplish. You could easily dream something up where they are kept busy but it better not result in major law suites against the Borg and be a little bit profitable at the same time?

  this article was published by the wts on their website.. i find this jw practice of targeting vulnerable populations to be so disturbing.

  the last thing that canadian aboriginal communities need is yet another institution that victimizes their members.. http://www.jw.org/en/news/releases/by-region/canada/inuit-bible-education-northern-canada/.

  I have been thinking about this and the Watchtower's disfelloshipping policies and how they might play out among Canada's Aboriginal population. A simple google search reveals a lot about the disfellowshipping practice but what would help even more is feed back from questions asked by Witnesses to, Bethel or some other place of authority within the jurisdiction of the guardians of doctrine, about how the policy would work among Aboriginal people in Canada's North. If the organization has any brains at all they would not answer any inquiries. Who knows they might just answer questions carefully asked? The answers to any carefully crafted questions, hypothetical or otherwise, would do great damage the WBTS's image among the Inuit in my opinion.

  A food hamper would benefit Northern people way more than religious literature produced by the WTS.

  So true.

  Lets all hope that this is just an public relations stunt for the Watchtower. So they can tell all the rank and file how their spreading the good news in all the inhabited earth. In my opinion education about the Dubs is most important. I can't stress enough what a big turn off to the Inuit the disfellowship policy would be. Try not talking to or associating with someone while sheltering from an Arctic storm! See what that does to your rank and file!

  I don't have knowledge of the particular community mentioned in the article but the whole North Arctic region is a huge area with hardly anyone living in it so word spreads very quickly. When I get chance later I might tell a couple of stories about it just to illustrate.

  Yes words, rumours and innuendo spread like wildfire.

  Petraglyph internet access is limited and very expensive in a lot of those areas but it is improving all the time. believe me, there is nothing better than sitting nice warm and comfortable at the keys of a good internet connection through the long Arctic night.

  Petroglyph:It will be so destructive to those communities if the JWs get a foothold there. I feel sick in my stomach thinking about it.

  Me too. The Inuit people are an amazingly resilient people to have survived and prospered for so long and under such harsh conditions. They are not stupid people! But I fear that some of them might be especially vulnerable to cults like the dubs. Maybe its just evolution? They will have to learn to deal with the idiots from "Down South".

  I personally can't see how the custom of shunning and disfellowshipping will go over big among them. They are a very forgiving people and shunning someone over some stupid belief (not even eating with such a man) won't sit well with them. Coming together and fellowship with one another has been used by them as a survival mechanism in the harsh Arctic environment for a long time. They do have some very strange beliefs and folklore especially among the elderly ones, sort of the same as the idiots down south have.
