  Is this not child abuse in the name of religion?

  ultra orthodox rabbis suck the blood out of babies blood from the penis with their mouths, while preforming circumsisms.

  there is now a new law proposed which says that rabbis must get informed consent before they do this, due to babies dying after contracting herpes .

  the orthodox rabbis have said they will defy this law.

  What really bothers me is they even object to a law that would inform the parents of the dangers of this practice.

The orthodox rabbis have said they will defy this law. The law does not even forbid the practice, the law only requires that parents are made aware of the danger involved. What ?I am truly disgusted. Here is another religous group endangering the welfare of children . Why has this practice been allowed to go on for so long in this day and age? It smacks of pedophilia.

  "Recovery" Could Benefit By Following My JW Grandfather's Advice

  recovery is new to this forum.

  he inevitably uses a confrontational approach, requesting - demanding?

  - that people show him why the watchtower is wrong.

  I hate the fact that recovery has used a name that is so similar to mine. He is not really in recovery he is as a dog returning to his own vomit.

  City taxman awaits heaven-sent boo$t

  By LEONARD GREENE

  Their prayers have been answered.

  City officials are salivating over the prospect of new revenue once the sale of a religious group’s real-estate empire is complete, according to a new report.

  For more than a century, the Jehovah’s Witnesses have controlled swaths of land and property in Brooklyn that have long been defined by two words: tax exempt.

  But now, with the Witnesses putting most of their coveted properties on the market in preparation for a move upstate, city officials are dreaming about ways to spend the money that will be generated by new real-estate taxes.

  At stake, according to Crain’s New York Business, are 34 mint-condition properties in Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO that hold 3.2 million square feet -- more than the Empire State Building -- and are worth well over $1 billion.

  The move could net City Hall millions of dollars a year in tax revenue.

  “There is great potential here to transform the surrounding neighborhoods,” Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz told Crain’s.

  Plans are being tossed around for the properties and the revenue they could generate.

  Ideas include housing and office space, a new hotel, university expansion and more land for nearby Brooklyn Bridge Park.

  Neutrinos faster than the speed of light...

  by EntirelyPossible in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  referencing back to this thread, http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/216165/1/what-is-truth-could-einstein-have-been-wrong..... i was doing some reading on the neutrino thing and i discovered somthing i didn't know, a subtle but important distinction i think a lot of us get wrong about relativity and nothing being able to move faster than the speed of light.. there are two theories of relativity from einstein, general and special.

  general relativity (gr) describes gravity, gravity wells, the expansion of the universe, gravitional lensing, among other things.

  special relativity (sr) describes things like mass-energy equivalence (e=mc^2), the expansion of the universe and spacetime itself.. sr doesn't say nothing can go faster than the speed of light (c in the equation).

  there are other possible explanations for the data seen, that do not support the faster then light theory.

  here is there stated purpose

  Jah-Jireh residential homes are established and run to give accommodation and personal care to dedicated, baptised Jehovah’s Witnesses who are in need of such care. The objective of this care is to provide an environment in which ur brothers and sisters will feel loved and looked after in a theocratic home which is run for their benefit and staffed only by brothers and sisters. This is absolutely necessary for those times when consolation and spiritual encouragement are necessary to care for the brothers and sisters.

  drinking one's urine is not good for you. It is filled with the toxins that the kidneys have filtered out of your blood stream.
