  Blood questions and new law in Canada news

  by cognac in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my understanding is that if a child needs a blood transfusion and the parent refuses, the child becomes a ward of the state.

  however, once the child gets the transfusion, do the parents just get the kid back?

  does dss get involved?

  Please help re:objections to Thanksgiving?

  by M.J. in

  what are the standard jw objections to thanksgiving?

  do they claim there is any kind of a scriptural basis for condemning it?

  i plan on asking someone about this and i'm curious what types of reasoning they might try to throw at me.

  Recs for a media PC?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. social
  2. physical

  i am thinking of putting a pc on my entertainment center, with a wireless keyboard and mouse so that my flatscreen becomes another computer when i want to watch internet vids or use educational ppv for the grandkids.. i use a belkin g router, and tested it today by moving my desktop [compaq xp] over and hooking it up with a wireless adapter for a test.

  worked great.

  videos were fast and did not jerk, in fact perhaps better than when i was hooked to ethernet on my desk.. someone at work suggested a 'media center' computer for this use.

  Name Some Stupid Watchtower Rules or Ideas

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there's a lot.. one rule that is dumb is that a brother must wear a suit for a sunday public talk that he is giving.

  any other time, the brother could wear a suit coat with a different pair of pants and not be counseled for it.. another dumb idea is that you cannot date a person unless you seriously might marry them.

  if you're on a date, you were supposed to always have a chaperone and holding hands might not be allowed as well as sitting together.. what other dumb rules and ideas can you add?.

  A Visitor At Work

  by Cthulhu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i have not turned in any service time in four months or so.

  this elder, who also happens to be the congregation secretary stops in at my job today.

  i work for a cellular phone retailer in my home town, so he came in and conversed for a bit about his plan and different options we might be able to work with.

  Should I Formally Apologize?

  by lifelong humanist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what do you members think - is there any mileage in 'formally' apologizing to my 4 sons (now aged 20 - 34) of my stupid jw indoctrination during their formative years?

  i still have pangs of guilt.

  yet, on balance, i have to admit that it couldn't have been too damaging as they are all totally out of the cult.
