it seems as though since 2006 the borg allows red blood cells minus the skin of the cell.
so my question is why would the cells outer skin be removed?
i maybe completely wrong on this but its my understanding that this is the only part of the red blood cells that is not allowed by the borg?
I have no idea what you're talking about. Red blood cells don't have "skin." Extracting the nucleus would be a seriously complex task. Extracting hemoglobin can be done, but I suspect that is more for laboratory analysis than surgical applications.
I think there are some attempts to make artificial hemoglobin, I don't know the status or the research.
Do you have a link to an article?
as i continue my sllllooooooowwwwwww fade one of the things that i want to do is better myself as a person.
one of my biggest pitfalls has always been drinking.
i don't think i am an alcoholic but at the same time i've never been a very good drinker.
I had my last drink on August 28, 2005. I've been active in AA since then.
Two things to keep in mind at the outset: there is a difference between a problem drinker and an alcoholic. A problem drinker can find ways to quite or manage the problem. Alcoholism is a medical condition, at least partially genetic in origin; we metabolize alcohol differently. This makes it pretty much impossible to quit without help. That help can take different forms, but will always require professional help.
What kind of drinker are you? Nobody but yourself can answer that question. However, if think you might have a problem, you should seriously examine that question. BTW, alcoholics come in many varieties, not all get drunk all the time.
this is an interesting lecture.
one that flies in the face of current jw and i assume most non jw thinking.
evidence shows that when examining history mankind was more violent over the centuries than they were during the 20th and 21st century.
So increased wars and violence mean that it's almost time for God's Kingdom to arrive.
Inreased peace and less violence mean that it's almost time for God's Kingdome to arrive.
This is a great example of an unfalsifyable hypothesis.

upon due consideration, the media request of applicant abc news to make a video recording of oral argument in the above-referenced appeal is granted.
We'll have to watch for when they air something from this. My guess is it will be on 20/20.
as we all know, the internet is a real game-changer in allowing us to know the truth about the watch tower and its history.
i always had doubts and it was the internet that presented me with the ever-growing number of individuals who were going through a similar struggle.. i give the internet a 9 in my awakening.
what about you?.
Zero.
The internet didn't exist when we left. Did all our research at the library.
i am so angry and i need to vent.
a jw who was hired to be a caregiver for my grandfather in the early stages of dementia went and married him over the objection of family, the gal and the va social worker.
this happened several years ago.
I am very involved in my 92-year-old mother's care. I highly recommend contacting Adult Protective Services to look into this. If its above board, nothing else will happen. If something is amiss, looking into it is there job.
i just need to vent.
i want to scream from the rooftops right now.
life is hard enough when you battle blood cancer but is an unnecessary evil put upon good people by this evil cult.
Azor, what part of the world are you in? I have some major contacts in the Leukemia treatment community (my father was a major player in developing bone marrow transplants). PM me if you want.
The WTBS position on blood is nonsensical and suicidal.
who'd have thought it possible?
but that's a headline this morning in the canberra times.. us-cuba diplomatic breakthrough: obama and castro agree to thaw relations after prisoner exchange.
date: december 18, 2014 - 5:37am.
I don't think that shutting off diplomatic relations is a good idea, unless you've made a decision to go to war. Not talking to another country that's only 90 miles away is not a good thing. However, I think he may have just lost Florida for the Democrats. The Cuban-American community there is VERY powerful, and VERY emotional about this.
common sense has prevailed.
kentucky won't be helping ken ham lie to children at his new noah's ark theme park after all.. sorry i don't have time to write a summary but click here for the story....
Cofty, I agree wholeheartedly. If that's what they want to do, fine - as long as its on their dime.
Snare&Racket, same thing. Is this homecare network taking public money? If it is, they should not be allowed to discriminate. If they're paying for it they can do what they want.
i was thinking about how so many posters here on jwn are frustrated and frantic to help their loved ones get away from the brainwashing of jws, and how much advice is given about how to help family members and loved ones.
i considered my own leaving and that it was internal turmoil based on the teachings getting weirder and child abuse issues, to name just a few, and it made me wonder:.
did you self-awaken or were you assisted by the gentle proddings of a friend or family member?
Wife and I left on our own, the Watchtower's own words were enough to push us away. Some research at the library confirmed for us that we wanted no part of this religion. The internet did not exist then (1988). After we left we joined a once a month support group for a year or so.
