From a medical perspective I would want to have a conversation about how essential the proposed transfusion was. From an ethical point of view I would not hesitate.

he needs lots of children being born to the people and culture he wants to preserve..
You are confusing race with culture and playing into the hands of racists. Tens of thousands of Indians and Poles are very much part of British culture.
Germany and Sweden are busy destroying their cultures. Merkel is motivated by masochistic guilt.

Qcmbr - thank you for your first-hand insights on mass immigration.
well if we don't want British culture to be replaced white Brits... need to have more children. - Ruby
No need. We just need to toughen the rules around immigration. Tony Blair cynically created mass immigration in the UK - over 2 million in a decade - for selfish reasons.
Brexit is the first step in taking back control.
By the way Trump was not wrong about Sweden.

paradise could last twice as long elsewhere
by waton in6 planets around the dim, slow burning star trappist-1, have the temperature to permit [almost better, longer] "everlasting life" in paradise.
this distant "sun" will give light for another ~ 10 billion years, unlike our sun, which is already half done., with only ~ 4 to go.
everlasting, overlapping life on our planet: naturally impossible.

It's only a matter of time before extraterrestrial life is discovered.
It will probably be bacterial - complex eukaryotic life is far less likely. Given the right conditions the emergence of life is inevitable.

God answers JW prayers about trivialities while ignoring the abuse of little children
by jambon1 ini've heard many experiences about how jehovah answers the prayers of jw's - convention items about pioneers gas bills, car repairs, job opportunities.
now, if this is true, you are actually stating that god has directly intervened in your life.
taken action on your behalf.

I will never forget a former colleague of mine - a church-going Baptist - who would make it known the Lord helped her find a parking lot. I kid you not.
As a former evangelical I can confirm that this is the norm.
Arrogance off the scale! -

This is the best a materialistic view of morals can offer. - Perry
Objective morality is only possible by rejecting an ultimate law-giver...
Godly ethics is an oxymoron. But you are hijacking the thread Perry.

Are the J.W's reaching a "Tipping point"?
by karter ini haven't been to a meeting in 15 years but my mother and sister are hard as j.w's.
the brothers they are appointing elders are at best suspect like one guy from my old hall made elder,big time drug used before becoming a j.w his talks are all over the place and would have struggled to make m,s years ago but with at least 60 to 70 % of young ones leaving the pool to pick from is at best reduced.. 2 other recent elders both young and zero life experience both on benefits one not well at all falls asleep all the time.. the decent,kind elders mostly older and are decent people with alot of life experience are burning out fast as there are so few of them left like 3 per congro of 100 publishers.. then you have the rich elders who wouldn't ever think of inviting some poor older or mis-fit person out to the expensive placers they go to as they couldn't afford to go so they are above the r&f and the r&f get pissed off with them.
then we have the ones who have "put the kingdom 1st" who are now old worn out and barely getting by from welfare cheque to welfare cheque that are saying "the system should have been over many years ago" it's still here and they are struggling everyday.. then there are the pioneers who have a low payed reduced hour job that seem to think anyone who has anything is totally materialistic and looks down on anyone getting a new car buying a house ect.. along with the child abuse issues,the generation change,access to information the the g.b don't want anyone to know ,not to mention the issues around blood.. is there a tipping point coming????

Every time a believer thanks god for their food they convict him of murdering millions of innocents elsewhere.
Either god is immanent and therefore abusive, or he is not immanent in which case he is neglectful. Theism fails because it is internally contradictory.
The god of christian theism - the god and father of Jesus - does not exist. This much is proven beyond all reasonable doubt.
