  How to Fade - The Basics!

  by The Searcher in

  1. jw

  this really works.

  i've already applied the basics of this with one elder who "offered" us a shepherding visit.

  we've been totally ignored since!!!

  Good advice for sure. Would just add another twist that can be used. If you get into a spat with someone in the congregation, you can always play the "stumbled card". Leave, move to a new hall - preferably 15-20 miles away. Attend briefly, then decide you need to care for personal matters, etc. They will not be inclined to make shepherding calls when they have to drive that far.

  JW child first pediatric patient to receive acute normovolemic hemodilution - 1970

  by OrphanCrow in

  acute normovolemic hemodilution.

  hemodilution simply refers to the process of diluting the blood with another substance.

  there are various ways that this is done before, during and after the surgical process.

  Very interesting bit of history, which demonstrates how hard doctors have worked with JWs and the Watchtower to try and save lives. That has certainly pushed the technology forward, but that progress has come at the cost of too many lives as you know. Well done.

  Synthetic Blood trial slated for 2017

  by Lee Elder in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  the u.k. to start trials in a new synthetic blood substitute.

  all previous versions have failed to gain regulatory approval, but perhaps this one will offer a way out for jehovah's witnesses.

  There is no one with greater personal interest and potential gain from synthetic blood (in practically any form or source) than the Watchtower, and the military, imo.

  A JW Father Learns about Blood

  by Lee Elder in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  this father contacted us a few months ago about his experience with the watchtower's blood policy, and how his daughter nearly died as a result of it.

  hopefully, other jw parents can learn from this before the wt policy claims the life of their child.

  the wts has very few meaningful interventions or "non blood alternatives" for anemia.

  The father has volunteered to speak with other JW parents who have questions or need assistance. We'll have a contact up for him shortly.

No blood equals no life, because without blood, the body is deprived of oxygen, and death follows.

  It is a very complex issue. However, the argument of misrepresentation is valid imo. It would be very costly, difficult litigation - particularly in the U.S.

  People hate God?

  by looter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it is a pain that certain individuals pride themselves on hating god, who created everything.

  like it's understandable that you choose to not believe in him because of your selfishness or thinking skills but to hate him is forcing it a bit.

  i'm very thankful that those such as myself have the courage to believe in the lord.

  Stephen Fry asks important questions for which Theists have unsatisfying answers.
