  First Aid @ the D.C.s -- could direction from Society cause them a lawsuit?

  i posted about something similar 3 years ago when i first joined.

  even though my attendance hasn't been great the last year or so, i was asked to help my bro in law in first aid this year at the convention.

  to make a long story short, the society has printed instructions for attendants to not cal 911 for an emergency.

  sorry whahappened didn't have a scan. Was only going from memory. ex360shipper provided a direct quote though: Accidents and Emergencies: If a medical emergency arises at the convention site, please contact a nearby attendant, who will immediately notify First Aid so that our qualified first-aid personnel on-site can assess the seriousness of the situation and render assistance. If it is necessary, our first-aid personnel will call 911. This will prevent emergency-response services from receiving many cell-phone calls over minor matters. key words: "medical emergency..........please contact a nearby attendant". "our first-aid personnel will call 911." (not you scumbag!!!) Just seems like a huge lawsuit waiting to happen. Thanks for all your posts to back me up ;-)

  If a heart attack or strock patient died because, the bystander did not call 911 could the society be liable??

  Sad news Re: Menlo Park Congregation

  by Devil_Fish in

  it saddens me to inform you that ruth edwards has passed.

  ruth was a long time member of the menlo park congregation.

  when the letter was read that indicated that john cobb, jason cobb, walter st. clair, and george stock had been removed from their post as elders, ruth fainted and needed to be taken to the hospital.

  For those of you who inactive, but not officially DFd/DAd, how do you manage?

  i read with interest the thread about how people who are mentally out yet still attend (some) meetings manage to do continue to do it and it got me wondering, how do those of us who are completely inactive, no longer practicing members of the faith, manage to pull off our new ex-jw life, yet never invite scrutiny or investigation from former friends, elders, etc.. take me, for example.

  i've been out several years now, but have never officially renounced my faith.

  i've never out and out called it a crock of shit to anyone who could make real trouble for me.

  How to counter a stupid illustration in the Bible Teach Book

  by NVR2L8 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the bible teach book uses the example of a math teacher who is challenged by a student who disagrees on how to resolve a math problem.

  the teacher then lets him attempt to prove his point knowing that he can only fail.

  the object of the exercise is to show the rest of the students that the teacher is right - that there is only one way to resolve the math problem....this is likened to jehovah letting satan exercise his power over the world so that the entire universe can witness his failure and that only jehovah's ways lead to happiness.... instead of maths, what if the teacher taught chemistry and a student would want to prove that the teacher is wrong when he says that certains chemicals can't be mixed without causing an explosion that would wipeout the school...would any sane, responsible, loving teacher allow such a student to experiment and wipeout the whole class just so the teacher can prove he was right?

  Excellent thread. You get a 'G' for illustrations...and we'll move you along, and look forward to your next part on the ministry school...

  Seriously, that was a good illustration, stuff like that really makes people think.

  Here's one I came up with as a kid, wondering, "if blood is so sacred to Jah, why did he create mosquitos to suck up peoples blood"

  Imagine this: A Leak of Major Announcement this Summer.

  the truth has been streamlined.

  the new smaller magazines starting in january, if armageddon hasn't come before then, are even more simplified.

  i know you cannot imagine that being possible, but they are.

  OTWO...I disagree a bit (unless I missunderstood) the members only WT will stay at 32 pages, and that's where all the "heavy" stuff is discussed anyway. I really don't think the 16 page announcement will make a big diff to JWs because it will be viewed as simpler info to peddle to the masses. Just my opinion.

  Do COs have a cushy life?

  by A question in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do cos (and dos) have a cushy life in comparison with other jws, or others in fulltime service?.

  it could be said that they do, since they have an apartment provided for them, meals out, green handshakes, and invites to social gatherings.

  it could also be said that they do not, since they may have to live in a different house every week, accept whatever food they're given, and they have a lot more meetings than the average jw.. .

  I think there is a poster here: winstonchurchill that is a former CO. Would be interesting to hear his thoughts. My opinion, yes and no....I guess it depends on the circuit and their living conditions. Some assembly halls have really nice apartments that they can call their own for 3 years.
