hi, i'm an ex-jw, i left about 10 years ago, and my memory is getting blurry on some jw detail these days.
sorry i'm sure there are stacks of discussions on blood already but i don't have too much time for reading through hundreds of pages.
i'm a nursing student and our topic for the week is blood.
Normally I'd refer you to http://www.ajwrb.org but when you click on that address it comes up dead (literally).
This is the only summary by them that I could quickly access and might give you something to go on: http://www.ajwrb.org/currentwtpolicy/abstain.html
it's very rare that i visit this site these days and even rarer that i start a thread, but ever so often i see a comment so outrageous that i just have to respond.
in a thread entitled "are black people more emotional than white people", the op made the following comment concerning the lack of "black people" in australia:"we have the australian aboriginal people butthey are a different race more related to white people i beleive.
" the bad spelling and grammer isn't the only thing wrong with this sentence.
This site sucks!
I can read that, LOL!!!
last week we lost a wonderful elder (removed, stepped down is what i will believe) , this man was as real, as you can get.
he loved the sheep,.
his eternal optimism of humanity is a rare quality in the jw religion.
He's more of a man for being smart enough to back out and let the other jackasses break their neck for a pipe dream.
Ironic.

PP,
I don't know how they appear to anyone else, but your posts are coming up blank.

(to MrsJones) ^^^ Hehehe...
As for Neandertals, I often see people (especially men for some reason) who look like they have more than the average amount of Neandertal in them. I wouldn't be surprised if they're closer cousins than we actually thought.

Hang on..... what's the definition of "black"?
As in having African heritage?
No, the Australian Aborigines do not directly come from Africa. They come from the Caucasians that were living in India 10s of 1000s of years ago. They made their way across the Indonesian straits to Australia.
Other peoples have mixed with the Aborigines, such as as Papua New Guineans and they have a different "look" to the average Aussie Aboriginal.
BUT... if you want to go back far enough, we ALL come out of Africa. So does that make us all "black"???

Go and google "Caucasian" and you'll see that the term refers to more than blue-eyed blondes.
Google is your friend.
Maybe it's name is "Cat".
That jumper looks warm.
where is the evidence you were "wronged", "mistreated", dis-fellowshipped for no reason, blah, blah, blah.. some of you seem to want "evidence" to provide credibility to other's statements at times.. where is your evidence?.
nightowl.
Ray Franz' "Crisis of Conscience" is proof that the religion I was born into lied to me, my parents and grandparents.
It confirmed my doubts about "the trooth" and along with reading other people's experiences, it's enough "proof" I need that it is not a religion chosen by a Big Sky Daddy.
it was in the sunday telegragh on page 18 "a murder attempt in chuch".
someone that was disfellowshiped has been trying to poison an elder and his family in adelaide.
i certainly don't agree with this at all, but i do understand this man doing something like this.
By poisoning the milk and fruit juice, it's obvious the guy was targeting the elder's young children. At that point, I lost any empathy for the loser.
