  I'm so happy for the family. I think that whenever possible, especially in the case of children, any adverse side affects can be avoided if the blood donors are the parents or other realitives who are healthy and able to donate.

  Life is too precious! I would hate to think that a publishig company would have caused the death of these babies IF their parents were Dubs.

  That was truly a "Medical Miracle"

  it's been said many times that bethel monitors this board.

  if they do, what do you think they're thinking?

  do you think this board could cause a staunch bethelite to question things?

  Is Mutual Respect Possible?

  by Sociologist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the most striking things about this and similar message boards concerning jehovah's witnesses is the strength of feeling jw-related discussions evoke.

  as i dabble in sociology, i was wondering what you all thought about the following questions.

  my objective is not to criticize persons belonging to other group but rather to attempt to grasp the dynamics of the conflicts at work here.. the questions:.

  i remember while being a dub, there were many people in the kh i attended that seldom went to a traditional family doctor for common ailments.

  they were always praising their alternative methods of non-conventional medicine.

  even after they explained in principle how these methods work, i still had difficulty accepting them as safe alternatives.

  Dede, so good to hear about your young ones! There's a whole world of possibilities open for them.

  When my older girl had her first party ever, I took the biggest, creamiest cake I had ever bought-- to her school cafeteria. She was seven! All the kids were so happy to have cake for dessert. We enjoyed ourselves so much. The smile on her face was priceless. She's my firstborn daugher and I felt bad that I had "cheated" her out of a simple party in the past when we were "Dubs." The school principal even congratulated her and went back to her office with a generous serving of cake!

  Keep that camera handy! You'll have a lot of wonderful times to look forward to. My personal favorite is: Mother's Day

  OK, I think that Bad Associations are:

  Elders,

  MS

  POs

  COs

  and the GB

  The Usefull Habits they spoil are:

  Sincerity, Common Sense, Love of neighbor, Love of Family, Love of life, and JOY of LIFE

  Hi -New Here

  i want to share since i'm new here!

  i was more or less born into the jw religion and raised as one.

  my mom was a pretty strict believer, but she didn't get baptized until i was 9, "surprisingly" my parents got divorced three years later.

  Welcome!

  I'm glad that you made the journey out with your wife.

  I share your feelings about the way that so many young people are "not encouraged" to pursue higher education. They won't be getting any help from the WTS when they find that that they aren't adequately prepared for retirement due to the "soon-to-come apocalypse" doctrine.

  Its sad when I see my newly baptized 18 year old brother in law put off college because he gets no support from his parents who would rather see him scrape by doing some menial job for no pay and be a "good witness".

  I hope that you and your wife continue to share your thoughts with us.
