clearly the right move by this doctor and court.
unfortunately, the watchtower continues to try and argue that so called "mature minors" (11-17 years old) should be allowed to follow their irrational policy on blood, even if death could result.
Courts in every land need to protect these adolescents until they reach the age of majority when they will at least have a bit more mental and emotional maturity so as to evaluate the policy, and make their own decision as an adult.
The truth is even at eighteen I would question whether they have reached even physical maturity let alone emotional. The days when the key to the door was given at 21 was far closer to the real age of majority.

Sorry I was saying he is probably Britain's greatest living writer. About a mature minor jw and his relationship with the judge who saves him....she starts to open his mind, but there's a catch

Lee Elder Have you read "The Childrens Act" by Ian MacKewan?It's haertbreakingly realistic, from om
as you know, this week the human race has been hit with hurricanes and earthquakes.
natural disasters which happen almost everyday, but this month we've seen them cause massive damage and a huge loss of lives.. as you can imagine, theres a whole host of jws positively wetting themselves with anticipation over this.link here: https://jwtalk.net/forums/topic/25884-earthquakes-in-one-place-after-another/.
Wake me up before you jo ho
You are hilarious! I'd love to hang out with you....maybe go visit WAR..wick (!)
i have seen a few comments about this week's meeting.. was there actually a part that specified an actual per-publisher amount that should be donated regularly?.
can this be confirmed please?.
i truly cant believe just how brazen the society seems to be getting - and how desperate they are!.
Light Spiller The per-publisher amount was included in a letter that was read out to all the congregation from the platform - the total amounts where:
Spain = US $ 8.34 (7 Euros)
Britian = US $4.08 (£3.00)
Hang on! I feel insulted! Why are they asking twice as much from the Spanish as they are the British?! And why so much more from the yanks?
Are we the poor bloody relatives all of a sudden?!
i am prepared for shunning when i send in my da letter.
my dad was furious when he comes back from overseas and find out that i have da myself.
yes, i do regret not talking to him first before i da...i also know that my mom is crying in her room.. but they didn't chase me out of the house.
I'm so glad you have a wonderful granny on side!!
It seems to me you are a very loving son since you won't "land them right in it" by telling grandma how rotten they are behaving. Many kids wouldn't be so forgiving and mature.

anyone who questions the governing bodys authority is labelled as an apostate and almost always they bring up the story of korah and his revolt against moses.. watchtower august 1st, 2002, the article loyally submit to godly authority paragraphs 8-15.. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2002563.
in not so subtle hint, the gb likens themselves to moses, and those who disagree with the gb are korah.. paragraph 15 is actually quite damaging to the gb's argument though:.
it was so unnecessary for all those people to lose their lives.
Phizzy seems to me it is impossible to do this, last time I tried the Elder I asked said "There is sufficient evidence for me to believe in their authority".
It's funny he said that because I was thinking about the Pope, who they revile so much.
He has way more followers.
Lineage goes right back to the apostles.
Catholics DO have love for neighbour, they build schools hospitals, food banks etc
Miracles have been done by Catholic saints ( according to themselves)
Edit: Catholic church has more blessings in the form of money and beautiful " quick builds" lol!
Really,there is no difference between them, they both claim similar things with zero evidence.
JUST obey the GovBod so thoroughly because they hold their relatives hostage. The minute they stop doing that we will see how "loyal" jws are!!
greetings, gourmands of the forum!.
i agree with garfield, but mayo comes in a close second.
slathering my pasta with an inch of best foods real mayonnaise (hellman's, east of the rockies) is close to heaven for me.
Olives...yummy
Eggs are very versatile,too. Nice omelette!
Mangos are my fave fruit.
But I suppose you'd have to say wheat, because you can make flour to make bread
Salt and pepper are pretty handy too.
i have been sneakily looking at this forum, almost every day, ever since it began!
it has taken me till now to actually register and contribute.
(actually i did register with a different name in the beginning but never commented).. i am a pimo elder with a fairly long history of senior "positions" in the organization.
Ruby456 I think that in another time and place JWs would have made great senators, leaders, teachers and pace setters for the betterment of society. It is just that you got caught up in something that went horribly wrong.
Hallelujah to this !!!
one or two notable points from chapter 18 of "god's kingdom rules.".
“it will never beg nor petition men for support”.
7 brother russell and his associates refused to imitate the money-raising schemes so common in the churches of christendom.
"Zions watchtower has, we believe, Jehovah for its backer and while this is the case we will never beg or petition for support."
But we will con people out of their money by pretending to sell miracle wheat instead!!!
