so 550,00 homes in lancaster without power because of flooding in a substation caused by desmond.
including my daughter who is at university there.
no electricity.
Is it out of the question that she could go home?
Boy this is where a REAL network of friendships (or call it religon, but really it's like minds)would come in handy. She could do with someone not too far away to rescue her - I live in London unfortunately, I do hope she's ok.
Jewish people believe in ritual circumcision, they have a ceremony and the baby has his foreskin cut off, something that is very painful and mutilates the penis, and has no particular health value, according to many experts.
First of all Lisa Rose I would like to say a big "hear hear" to your 1st post on this thread
When I did my community midwifery it was in Hamstead Stamford hill area, big Jewish population. The non orthodox mums where horrified by the bruising & suffering the wee boys went through, many said they would not do it again!Of course the JW's would say what a miracle it's the 8th day that there is a rise in the clotting factor , but of course it's the other way around, how many babies died before they discovered that the 8th day was the safest day to operate on!

Naturally. The Quran gives women a few rights, the right to inherit property for example, pathetic I know, but the bible gives women no rights. Women are property.
As to the rest the bible is just as monstrous as the quaran - take your pick slavery, paedophilia, incest, homophobia, immolation, stoning, cuting of hands, child sacrifice etc bigoted violent attitudes abound.
Anyone who pretends one is better than the other hasn't read them.
I found the bible (in parts)less nonsensical but that's probably cultural bias.
i would like to see a unified effort from those that have defected.
certainly there are exceptional, very legitimate, detailed experiences from a few.
what about the regulars that chose to leave?
Actually, I don't believe they are Christian - at least they don't believe in the central tenets of the Christian faith.
And they have the cheek to call other faith's 'so - called Christians'. Humnph. Sassa frassin'....
i've reached the point where i feel legitimate comment needs to be backed by knowledge of the source.. i'll post occasional updates on how i'm doing and what i'm learning .

I always thought the woman in the field was the one at risk of being stoned. For fornication.
Yes JWdaughter, you are right, they would never have taken the word of a women against a man, so she just got away with her life due to the 'blessings'of this law.
It seems even a bunch of bronze age nomads outdo the Watchtower when it comes to women and children's rights!
san bernardino california.
up to 12 people have been killed.. the center a private non-profit agency that assists people with developmental.
disabilities.
saw a stat that there have been 1.4 million Americans killed by guns since the late 60's. More deaths than Americans in all the wars.
That stat is simply horrendous. I am speechless. That's got to be as bad as some war torn countries, surely. Gobsmaked.
