while he says he has not seen a letter ,he tells me that at the last visit the co told his body of elders pretty much what is being said here on jwd.. he gave some examples: .

1- if a young ms/pioneer, attends college and lives at home, would he and his elder dad be deleted?

the young man is "spiritually focused".. 2- an elder's daughter attends college in the hopes of having a good job in the future and dad promotes this course of action.

Do you get upset when people don't believe that same way you do?

by loosie in

is it a normal reaction to get mad when you talk to someone who doesn't believe that way you do?.

the reason i ask is that i don't believe in the most common christianity.

when i come across a person and they ask how i feel about something and i tell them how i feel.

No not at all i love diversity, and loathe intolerence, My friends are all very different yet i love them.

JW Refuses to Let Husband have Life-saving Transfusion

by fjtoth in

jehovahs witness refuses to let husband have life-saving blood transfusionby lucy cockcroft last updated: 6:42 am bst 06/06/2008 the wife of a man who is critically ill in hospital has refused to let doctors give him a life-saving blood transfusion because he is a jehovahs witness.john edwards, 57, suffered severe injuries when a motorist suspected of drink-driving knocked him over and medics have warned he could only have days to live if he does not have the transfusion.. but his wife sheila said he has signed a form banning any blood transfusions in the event of an accident or illness, because their religion forbids it.. it is believed she is rejecting repeated pleas from doctors hoping to change her mind.. the couple's sons, jonathan, 36 and tom, 29, do not share their beliefs and it was unclear last night whether they supported their mother's decision.. a family source said: "sheila is adamant that john must not have blood.

she says giving him a transfusion would be like assaulting him, and he wouldn't want to live knowing he had disobeyed his god.. "she is in a terrible state, constantly in tears at his bedside, but won't give in to requests from anyone.

her sons are both with her but her position hasnt budged.".

Are we DESTROYING society through a false sense of SELF-ESTEEM

by Terry in

i think political correctness started the trend of dumbing down.

lowering the bar.

warping the standards.. in every society there are citizens with varying abilities and disabilities.. the natural sorting process is achievement, self-sustaining ability and productivity.. winners vs slackers.

Political correctness is a waste of time it , because it limits our freedom to speak.

We should though be very sensitive to people and not be rude about them

To join together self esteem and political correctness is to conflate two different things

Self esteem is very important and one of the greatest gifts you can make to individuals.
