witnesses abstain from blood, right.....cool.
but] they will eat blood that is contained in meat i.e.
steak etc.
i knew of a brother, he was on his death bed, dying after refusing a blood transfusion, whose last words to his teary eyed family, gathered despairingly around his bedside, were that his last meal had been a big plate of dripping with juice rump steak.

as members we were taught to hate those outside our group ..... it is interesting what hoffer says in his book the true believer about how this works within this mindset...... {b}note{/b} where he states that this mindset eventually becomes like the very image it .
focuses on - the recipient of the hatred .
indeed,we often look on those who love with us as rivals and trespassers.
wow what a read thanks jang. goo.

hello and welcome jw72, i hope you don't mind being welcomed by an unwelcome one. how do i know i'm unwelcome? well if you search for a recent post called "to simon" you'll find a couple of posts there where logical and janh asked simon that i be deleted from the site. when that happens to you then you know you are unwelcome. now why logical wanted me deleted i dont know because logical seems like a fairly good guy to me even though i honestly haven't spoken to him that much. as for janh well i have to admit that me expressing ideas that were at odds with "his" idea - (singular), would give him the right to overrule Article 19. (Universal Declaration of Human Rights)
and have me deleted from this site.
i dont know for sure, you would have to ask essie but maybe it was posts like those, certain posters requesting that other posters be deleted because they held differing viewpoints and expressed them, that got her thinking that people were not welcome here.
well i hope you have a nice time here jw72 and i hope u dont mind this welcome from an unwelcome one - right now i'm just a dead man walking on this site.

Well, everyone who'se been out drinking a bit knows that some days, even an unusually low number of drinks can knock you out cold. Moreover, people tend to forget how much they drunk, and if you had it really bad, you will totally forget what you did the last hour or four, and that may well include engaging in consensual sex with a stranger (I know, I have had sex that I do not at all remember, and I am male and did most of the work involved. Perhaps I should report my spouse for date rape?)
Toxicologists often test the blood or drink samples from women who claim their drinks have been spiked, and 99 times out of 100, we're talking about the same single, powerful "daterape" drug: alcohol.
I do not deny that date rape, using drugs like GHB, has happened. I will allege, however, that the danger is grossly exaggarated by certain political groups, helped by dumb women who don't know how to drink and when to stop. And while it is true that rape is underreported, it is also exaggarated at least in the same mmgnitude by some gender feminists, and false rape accusations are, for some odd reason, very common (not less that 30%).
When someone suddenly claims rape only after discovering an unwanted and highly embarrassing pregnancy, I'd assume the woman guilty until proven innocent. But heck, 2000 years ago someone allegedly claimed to have been impregnated by a Deity, and some people still buy that story, so I guess gullibility is not that unusual.
It totally beats me why anyone should feel any need to have sex with an unconscious person, but of course, like most sick things, they do happen. They should buy an inflatable doll.
If lonewolf or anyone else not involved in the identifying and declaring work had said this they would have been crucified.
