  Medical doctor describes a JW death from noblood

  by OrphanCrow in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  most people will consider the noblood doctrine as being something that affects only the jws involved and they rarely consider the medical professionals who have to deal with them and the tremendous emotional and mental toll the medical professionals are forced to deal with when confronting senseless death.. the following is an excerpt from a medical doctor's blog: .

  i do not worry much about being dead although the process of getting there gives me pause.

  i have witnessed a few unpleasant deaths and i hope to never see the grim reaper coming my way.. one of the more awful and pointless deaths occurred early in my career.

  is everyone familiar with dr. hugh ross and his organization reasons to believe?

  i have learned much from this ministry.. hugh ross is a trained scientist and pastor who specialises in marrying the bible with science (both of which are records of truth).

  he has an msc and phd in astronomy and was a post-doctoral fellow with the california institute of technology.

  okay cut to the chase.

  the united states has got a problem.

  hillary clinton is so unpopular that practically any republican who ran against her would probably have beaten her.

  ISIS Want to Clear up Why They Do Terrorism

  by cofty in

  1. social
  2. current

  every time isis commit one of their atrocities, well-meaning folks mumble self-loathing apologies on behalf of "the west".

  noam chomsky and his sort lead a chorus of masochistic confessions.

  apparently everybody is to blame for islamic terrorism (according to bill nye global warming causes isis) - apart from islamic terrorists of course.

  Sam Harris' latest podcast reviews this article in ISIS' magazine Dabiq.

  It is 48 minutes well spent.

  Sharia Law in the US, it's coming folks.

  my question, why would one immigrate to the west and refuse to adopt the western cultural?.

  if you believe our way of life is so degenerated why bring your family to this place.. in a very close 5-4 vote, the city of irving ruled to back the texas state bill banning foreign.

  law from the state.

  JWd - you are comparing apples and oranges. Many Muslims have integrated successfully into the USA and the UK but that has no bearing on the challenges now being faced by some European countries. If the influence of the quran and hadith and the peer pressure of a conservative Muslim community is secondary to your love of personal freedom and liberal democracy then you will do just fine.

  That is not the situation of recent arrivals to Europe.

  The impact of Muslim immigration to Sweden is horrendous. Germany is also being forced to wake up to the consequences of Merkel's lunacy. Pretending otherwise cedes the floor to the extreme right. Treating people as racists for having concerns about mass immigration is dishonest and counterproductive.

  Muslim majority countries have very different attitudes and values from modern western democracies. You cannot absorb hundreds of thousands of people from a different culture and not expect serious social problems. Mass sexual assaults in Germany and pedophile rings in Rotherham is the tip of the iceberg.

  Second in the Medal Table - Well Done TeamGB

  by konceptual99 in

  can't believe it - gb is currently second in the medal table, with more golds and silvers combined than even china.

  given the size of the nation it's an incredible achievement and we have won in some sports where other countries typically dominate.

  i can't imagine we will stay in second but i am happy to enjoy the moment.. well done to the whole of team gb!.

  I think this was raised by somebody yesterday. It is difficult to see how liability can be proven in this case. It will be interesting to see the court's decision.

  Just a reminder about voting

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  there appear to be some people who are of the mistaken opinion that endlessly clicking the like or dislike button 20x will mean 20x votes.. it doesn't !!!.

  only one vote is ever counted.

  1 user, 1 vote, each post.
