In the UK it is legal to abort a Down's Syndrome baby up until the moment of birth

by LoveUniHateExams in

there was a recent legal challenge, brought about by a woman who herself has down's, which sought to overturn this sad state of affairs.. and a few days ago, a judge upheld the original law and denied her legal challenge.

this is pretty sick, don't you think?.

pro-abortion people love to ridicule religious people who claim that life begins at conception, so the obvious question is, when does life actually begin?.

Diogenesister

Those who think it's wrong, let me ask....are you willing to adopt these kids then? Once they're born with major heart defects, Vision problems hearing loss, infections, Hypothyroidism, blood disorders, hypotonia (poor muscle tone), problems with the upper part of the spine. It's not just a question of having learning disabilities.

Someone used that lass with downs syndrome who went to court to challenge the law. It must have greatly upset her and it's not something she needed to know. Highly doubtful she found out through her own research.

In the UK it's extremely difficult to find adoptive parents for heathy boys over 3, let alone a downs child. They'd face a life of being in state care and as one who was in care for a while I can tell you it's horrific. When my babies were tested for downs (being an older mother) I had to seriously think about how they would manage after I died. The thought of their lonely struggle. There's many in an adult care facility on my road. Most of them get no visitors of their own (who aren't home volunteers).

New Media Center

by asp59 in

ii wonder if you are a jw how new media center goes along with this text.. 1 corinthians 3:6-9new international version.

6 i planted the seed,(a) apollos watered it, but god has been making it grow.

paulus planted.

Diogenesister

With all the gripe and objection WT's getting from the rank & file over building this Media Center.

That makes a pleasant change...are they really speaking their minds on this? Many people are out of work or struggling. They don't have an awful lot of spare cash. Tell me what they're saying JWgonebad please?

HLC confidentiality

by shadowclone in

lots of hospitals have hired jw's as bloodless care manager.

if they find out that a jw agrees to take blood, what is their protocol in such a case?

usa scenario so hippa is a factor.

Diogenesister

Road to nowhere Question. Hired? HCLA elders are volunteers, not employees. And they are supposedly for encouragement but the real reason is enforcement.

I think OP was talking about a paid role. Sort of like a transplant co ordinator but for bloodless surgery?

AMous I'm sure you can get individual surgeons to perform bloodless surgery in private hospitals in the UK & EU still - but I suppose it's less...organized, maybe, than in the US?

There are all kinds of little tricks and stuff that protect elders.

Yes I always guessed that was the case. I know Simon is very on the ball about the legal aspect of this type of thing.

And we know it comes under commentary, review and critique fair use but that hasn't stopped Watchtower using their corporate legal weight to try and shut down ex members activities.

I'd love to know if watchtower has ever gone after Simon hard......Simon?

Thank you Atlantis and Petra 🥂 have some nice sparkling Cava with a little lunch 😊

SEX BETWEEN CONSENTING ADULTS NOT WRONG

by JohnTron72 in

i replied to a lesbian on the quora website who tried to state that god destroyed sodom because of the violent rape the people were trying to commit, not because they were homosexuals.

her argument perperuated so often was that it stated nothing about sex between "two consenting adults".

but, instead of using the bible scriptures such as a man shall not lay down with another as a woman, i used something else you never hear anyone use.... i told her to look to genesis 6:1-4 .

Diogenesister

Free will? Really?;Hmmmm....

Job..

Jonah.

The Tower of Babel

The Flood

Sodom and Gommah

MARY'S PREGNANCY

Paul being struck down with a 'Vision'

Pharaoh's heart being hardened

David made to take the census (result: 1000s deaths)

David's murdered baby

I could go on. Where was this vaunted free will in these cases??

friends

anyone remembers a group of jw's working outside of the jws called twmc (two witnesses must come).

they had a presence on the net in the 1990s, using various forums.

they published the report.

Diogenesister

Interesting. Never heard of them. What does this report say? Watchtower always denied break off groups but they very much existed.

Rutherford Exposed: The Story of Berta and Bonnie

by Farkel in

it was made by a women who in later years wore crotchless panties and bras which had holes in the nipple areas.

he not only knew the woman in question (she's now deceased), he has met her numerous times.

up until recently this secret of her year's long sexual affair with rutherford was kept by the family.

Diogenesister

Just to say the guy that said he was a relative of Berta Peale was Julian Watson. All his videos have been taken down from You tube. Wish I'd downloaded the one on Berta.

Life In Communist Victoria Australia If You Are In The Workforce

by jonahstourguide in

well, it has happened.. workers in these industries will be forced to vax or lose their employment.. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-01/victoria-which-authorised-workers-mandatory-vaccination-onsite/100506980.

i'm glad to be out of the workforce.. never thought it would come to this in a supposed democratic society.. no wonder protests and law suits are increasing in intensity.

like for fucks sake,,, a worker at a takeaway bottle / liquor shop.

Diogenesister

This whole thing is insanity. Even Russia and China have not mandated the vaccine. Yet it's happening in Australia, Britain and America.

I am not anti vaccine. I was a guinea pig for the first flu vaccine back in the late 80s.

But this? Forcing medical treatment in the "free world"? I never EVER thought I'd live to see it.

Stu Scheller

this is terrible.

i mean just the worst thing.

spoke out about the disaster that was the recent evacuation of afganistan.

Diogenesister

This is terrible. I mean just the worst thing. This Lt.Col. spoke out about the disaster that was the recent evacuation of Afganistan. Willing to take responsibility himself, he called out the superiors who were not and called into question their inability to use the weight of their seniority to demand Bagram airbase be kept in use until all Americans and allies were flown out to safety. Having made a post about this (,not in my view as political as General who claimed to have rang up the Chinese to give them a heads up on any orders he received from Trump), the US army demanded he undergo psychiatric evaluation. When he refused he was placed in Jail. The following is annexcerpt from a British newspaper:

"Scheller said that 'excusing the action of service members because of "PTSD" does more damage to service members than any trauma in combat' and that he is stronger because of his involvement in 'very traumatic situations.'

Scheller's original video criticized Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley for leaving the Bagram Air Base before all Americans and their allies had the chance to be evacuated.

It came after 13 U.S. service members, including 11 Marines, were killed along with more than 90 Afghans after at least one suicide bomber attacked the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul. "

Delroy Grant the "Nightstalker"

according to radio 4 is a devout jw.

Diogenesister

This bas*** raped and terrorised ladies just a few doors away from where I lived as a young woman years ago. Probably the beginning of his sickness.

I wonder why white men are typically paedophiles and black men are typically the ones who target elderly women (not sure the name for this). There must be a psychological reason for this.
