The sextuplets were from Vancouver. The provincial government stepped in because of the refusal of the parents to maintain adequate health care. Details can be provided by accessing the Vancouver Sun or Province archives.

Forced Blood Transfusion = Rape!
by Gill incan anyone please help me with these very important references, please?.
with the case of the sextuplets in canada and the case of the woman in ireland being given blood and their descriptions of the transfusions as 'violations' and 'rape' could someone give me references from watchtower publications where the watchtower advises this description and approach to refusing blood transfusion?.
this is really important, i can promise you and i do not have references or publications available to me except for the most recent.. thanks again!.

Deal with issues that the media can jump on. I think because of the family values issues, having families destroyed by shunning is by far the worst thing jw's are programmed to do. It is the most immature bs I have ever heard-schoolkids crap. Second is the pedophaelia issues after the Larry Craig exposee. Third most likely is the fake bible issue. You can mention items like owning stock in companies that contradict what they teach. Rand and that RJR Renolds(I believe) The rest is icing on the cake.
Number one rule-accuracy of the accusation. You know they will respond with denials-or outright lies. Make absolute the truths you know of and have people available to back it up, otherwise you lose credibility.
No rambling on. If your story checks out, it may go national-THAT is sooo good for exposure. Just hope your story isn't sidestepped by some really big story out of the blue.
Lastly-be persistent! We all wish you GIGANTIC PILES OF GOOD LUCK.

Actually goint to haven does sound much more appealing. Heaven seems kinda dry. Haven probably has pina coladas by a warm beach. Heaven probably just kool-aid and low fat tortilla chips.

I left my wallet in my workpants last night. I had to go all the way back just to recover my id. Pretty stupid.
Usually what I do is let others know what I did with something or write it down on a paper taped on my desk or whatever.
Too many things going on.

It's YOUR kids. Why expose them to such negative attitudes and hatred for your flesh and blood? I would never expose them to anyone that dislikes me-even and especially family. However that turns your kids into pawns. Not much better there either.
Do your best.

I did my first "bad" thing...question about voter registration
by B_Deserter ini was at work yesterday and was asked if i wanted to put $5 down on a square the guys had going on for nascar.
i had been asked before, and always said "no thanks," but this time, i had some cash on me (which is a rare thing), so i decided i might as well try it.
so there you have it, i gambled.

Here in Canada when you move you need to re-register just for a change of address. Unless you haven't voted in a long time. Then you just have to register 'cause the records are deleted I believe.

Service department????? Wow this cult has a service department!!! Maybe I can get my appliances fixed. What kind of a religion has a service department?? I just can't imagine what that would entail.
Ok-here's a call----. Sir I have been having nightmares about wigwams and tee-pees. Every night I wake up in a sweat-just what's wrong with me.
Dude on the other end- OH, YOU'RE JUST TOO TENSE!!!!!!!!!!. (C'mon ppl- laugh for God's sake!!!)

People here know what I think of this pitiful shunning ritual. The call themselves adults? Gimme a break.
Cherish your freedom.
If my wife put a cult infront of me, I would lawyer up as fast as I could. Sorry but I get pissed off when a family has to be destroyed because of all of this nonsence. I said for better or worse, but not for hell on earth. Most here seem to say it's ok to make them feel uncomfortable. Sounds like fun to me!!!!

Is the Bible really from God.....
by REBORNAGAIN inor just from everyday people like you and me and christians just held on to it because it gave them something to hope for and put faith in?.
if it really is from god, why are things still so mysterious, i.e.
why are we still in the dark about the future?

Each book has the name of it's author-John, Mathew, etc. It's an interesting history book written by people with minimal knowledge of the real world, God had squat to do with it.
Sorry, but I have little interest in Eveangelicals after Bush veto'ed a plan to add medical coverage to young children today. Did not the bible clearly indicate that killing people was against God's will. Another double standard from a bumbling Bush.
