here is another very sad case to add to the mountain of deaths..

No problem about posting this again. I did respond with comments at that site. I recommend all to comment there. My heart sinks when I hear of a JW dying due to this insidiuous man-made deadly doctrine. Especially, when it is a parent or child! What about the 'international' law (& Biblical law ) that a parent must stick around and raise their child. How will a child have to grow up without their mother who chose to willingly die for her religion and forsake her child! The Watchtower Society needs so much exposure on this mind control by the Governing Body of JWs.

i've been absent from this board from some time, as i've been through alot the past few months.

firstly, my mother passed away after complications from her surgery.

so i've lost my entire family since 1999. i'm an only child.

I can understand your dilemma. However, as your child grows you will have conflicts. Your child will want the holidays and other social aspects that wouldn't be allowed with other JWs kids. Your child will be ostracised by those kids (as their parents will teach them). As your child grows and is allowed to have a free mind, your child will not be drawn to something so boring and unnatural for a child. Hopefully, in time you can find a group more progressive and realistic and fun for children. Best of wishes for you and your little one!

Jehovah's Witness shuns blood, dies
OSAKA (Kyodo) A member of the Jehovah's Witnesses died last month after giving birth by Caesarean section and refusing a blood transfusion, officials at Osaka Medical College reported.
The hospital said it had agreed with the woman before the surgery that it would not administer a transfusion.

Although she bled a great deal after delivering the child, doctors only took steps to arrest the hemorrhaging. She died several days later, the hospital said.
"We briefed her about the danger (before the surgery) and we repeatedly urged her family to accept a blood transfusion. But in the end we respected the patient's wishes," a hospital official said Tuesday.
Jehovah's Witnesses' officials said the hospital acted appropriately in treating the woman in accordance with her wishes. Members of the denomination refuse blood transfusions as being against the Bible, citing the section in Leviticus that reads: "Whatsoever man . . . eats any manner of blood, I will cut him off from among

My Story

i received an email from a lawyer who has been studying with witnesses for some time.

he wanted to know my story, if i am disfellowshipped and if i have an axe to grind, in order to know if the information at jwfacts.com can be trusted.

i was raised a jw, my aunty and uncle, many cousins and grandparents are jws.

All my family were all the way JWs, through & through. Four of five of us kids went to Bethel through the 70's. That reality was the beginning of the end of JWdom for us. We are all out now, including our dad!

i'm pretty sure minimus hasn't gotten to this one yet.... .

i'm curious about how much you tip for various services.

what is your usual tip percentage for:.
Gayle

Generally, 20%. Don't go out much. Been there done that, so 20% is compassion money.

Should I talk to Joel Engardio on the phone? What would you ask him?
by Bob Loblaw in

so i met this girl last night whose best friend is best friends with joel engardio.

i said that i would really like to talk to him and she said that she could get me his phone number and he would be happy to speak with me.

i haven't seen the film "knocking" yet,...so i don't really know what i would discuss with him at this point.
Gayle

That would be great! Though, I would suggest you see the DVD first. There is a "Mail it Forward" 'Knocking' DVD (free,just postage to mail forward) going around. If interested, email me & I will forward to the individual who has it now.
