No shades of grey then, just black and white?
If pregnancy is so unbearably sacred at what point in your thinking is it ok to interfere with it? Contraception for instance?
We come back to "every sperm is sacred"... dont we?

USR when you think, do you hear a whisling noise like a breeze passing thru your ears?
If the choice of cutting your rope or her granddaughters rope in a life or death only choose one option, which one do you really think she would choose? There is in fact almost no choice at all because it is weighted 99.9% toward saving the granddaughter in the 1st place.
Does she have a right to? Rights go out the window in those scenarios, ... life or death situations rarely boil down to "rights".
So trying to link it to the "rights" of the unborn is pointless.
love is a stupid bunch of chemicals released to ensure that we have kids so believe many an evolutionist (god delusion).
whilst i dont believe in a god i find that reasoning hard to believe.. .
what do you think love is?
Not quite USR, I thought this when I was a god fearing JW.
Love is a very broad spectrum, so yes it is a very simplistic view to have about it (or certain parts of it).

Exactly that. I call it a chemical trap.
It's a poor point unstop seeking equality of value so you can tranfer it onto the unborn...
Under law you and Jgant are equal, but in a moral dilema like the titanic disaster it was woman and children first. Equality goes out the window under such circumstances.
is it appropriate for a christian to own a cat, in light of their past pagan religious affiliation and the medical information that is now coming to light?
it would be misleading to answer this question with either a simple yes or a no.
the scriptural answer of necessity must be a qualified one, and it is easy to see why.
LOL @ Christains... (that's Christ Stains for you Unstop)
bible describes ingratitude as one of the characteristics of last days.
people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money ....ungrateful.... etc.
(2 timothy 3:2) it seems this prophecy about people becoming ungrateful is having its fulfillment more than 100%.. i was watching an interview on the tv the other day.
"The point is this: Something somewhere is dangerously lacking, making Bible prophecy accurate!"
With leaps of logic like that, you will end up in a mental hospital.
Either, stop and think, or stop thinking.
the subject of feeling nervous came up in sfpw recent thread http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/268270/2/im-curious-when-you-were-asked-to-do-a-demo-for-a-service-meeting-part-how-did-the-request-make-you-feel#.uqgz_0nd13b.
it reminded me of a sister i knew.
you always knew when you got to the meeting if she had a talk that night.
When I was an MS in my phase of making an effort, I used to get very nervous and any item really ruined that whole day or two before due to nerves.
Then one time I had the bible highlights and dutifully prepared for it. At the start of the meeting when I handed in my slip I suddenly realised I had prepared the WRONG weeks chapters,...
School overseer said, just do the best you can. I had 15 minutes inc song and prayer to go and prepare the correct material. I kept it simple, no one in the audience had any idea i'd only had 15 minutes to do it and many said it was an excellent item.
I learned a valuable lesson that night, I had been over preparing and making it into more of an ordeal than it ever needed to be. From then on I set myself a rule of 1 hour maximum to prepare any item I got. I never ever got really worried or anxious about items after that.
if all of the ex-watchtowerites and other critics of the religious bs we've been fed all our lives want to know and understand all the whys and hows of this monstrocity called the christian church, how it really came to be, what it is and what you can do about it, here it is on a neat platter.
it will shock the sensitive ones among you (if there still are any) to your core.
no fantacy and no bullshit here guys, this is the unadulterated truth.
