  Adult Homework and Extra Credit

  by lovesjehovah in

  2. experiences

  it seems that once we became sensible adult humans, we lost our way.

  we stopped asking questions.

  we submitted to the bidding of the world.

  What I would change first about this world is to have free and unobstructed "higher education" for everyone. At a minimum, young adults would be expected to complete a Bachelor's. And offer financial incentives for pursuance of grad & doctoral degrees.

  Quote from Manal al-Sharif

  by FayeDunaway in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  manal al-sharif is a saudi arabian former extremist muslim who was liberalized by the internet and became a women's rights activist in her country.

  reading this quote i was struck that her experience is similar to a jehovahs witness experience, including mine, and gives me hope that many more people who are brought up in extremist environments will wake up, no matter what their backgrounds.

  the internet is a fabulous thing.

  Contin-uous hyphen-ation

  by Xanthippe in

  1. forum
  2. tech-support

  i know this has been mentioned before, that words at the ends of lines are continually being cut in half and hyphenated.

  i think a suggestion was made and if i could find the thread i would follow it but it may have been removed, i've gone back in 'forum related' topics several months.. i can see it's not just me that it happens to and i have been trying to ignore it because life is too short and all that.

  i'm just starting to find it really annoying now.

  Why do girls have a hymen?

  by JWchange in

  1. social
  2. family

  if you believe humans evolved, and were not created, why would having a hymen help, especially as no other mammal has one?

  if you believe humans were created by {a} god, or intelligent beings with advanced technology, what was the reason for a hymen?

  i'm interested to hear your thoughts on this unusual subject, not many people talk about..

  Also in virgins, the hymen often dissolves itself starting toward the end of puberty (it becomes "estrogenized").

  Very sorry for your loss. Remember, everyone processes loss differently, and there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Give yourself permission to feel whatever, without worrying about analyzing the process.

  @Witness007, I'm so sorry. This is VERY upsetting.

  @Anon2, I have not heard of platelets being separated into fractions. Further, this is not done by the doctor. This would be a highly specialized lab function.

  If this were my situation, I could only think to refer my parents to a so-called bloodless cancer treatment center like Johns Hopkins in MD. Cancer Treatment Centers of America are scattered throughout the US and prefer to avoid blood. I've seen Even non JW patients fly back and forth for their expertise.

  @Crazyguy what km is that?!
