  britain - a high court judge has ruled that the son of two jehovahs witnesses can be given a blood transfusion despite religious objections from his parents.. mr justice moylan was told by doctors that the very young boy had suffered severe burns in an accident and might need a blood transfusion.

  the judge concluded that a blood transfusion would be in the youngsters best interests in spite of the deeply held views of his mother and father.. the judge said a health trust with responsibility for treating the boy had asked for a ruling.

  he did not name anyone involved and did not give the childs age.. judgment - www.jwleaks.org/blood/case-no-fd14p00803.

  Yes, I heard this on the radio today.

  It is actually quite comforting to see common sense prevail at a time when there seems to be so much madness in the world.

  Absolutely, just be your usual, happy self. They are half expecting you to be belligerent because that is what they have been led to believe. When they visit me now believe me, I am far more effective at doing what they do than they are. And they find that very troubling indeed...

  Error, cannot compute...

  Ongoing frustration with wife

  by Flipping El in

  i've tried taking the slow, patient approach with my wife.

  i believe i first posted here about 13 months ago about my wife.. we've always had good communication and could talk endlessly about philosophy, neuroscience, sociology and then when i learned the ttatt, i clammed up a bit about spiritual things.

  i'd always been fairly liberal, suggesting other alternative ideas, but then i told my wife about the un/ngo scandal (i ran across the guardian story doing a talk as an ms, lol!

  Wow, it seems that a few of us are going through the same thing. It is somehow comforting to know that.

  I have an appointment with my solicitor today at 10:30 UK time to deal with just this issue.

  I was first to leave, at first she carried on without me and took the kids. Then she had an affair and decided to leave the cult and is now basically an atheist and an extremely angry one at that. She says she hates me, the thought of sleeping next to me makes her skin crawl etc, etc.

  She is now extremely angry, aggressive and abusive both physically and verbally. I had to go on anti depressants earlier this year and am also on a programme of CBT as my self confidence and particularly my self belief are shot to hell.

  I am as nervous as hell about dismantling the marriage after 20 years and it terrifies me, making me feel physically sick, waking in the night and so on.

  Anyone out there who is going through the same, I feel for you because I've lived through hell for ten long years.

  She will not leave because she is afraid of her Witness parents but I have been told by several different doctors not to suffer the abuse any longer.

  I love my children and they don't want this but it has made me ill both mentally and physically so I need to extricate myself or there won't be anything left of me to give them.

  This isnt my thread, I just stumbled across it and I guess I ought to post my own when I have more time and if you would like to hear how I get on.

  Good look to everyone who suffers the same 👍✋

  She's certainly not going to grow into a lady.

  One day she'll be shouting like that at her husband and telling him to 'shut up'.

  In fact, I'd bet a years wages that she speaks like that to her father already.

  why else would he constantly bring up "gay-inspired" clothing when speaking to such large audiences?.

  nothing wrong with being gay.

  but he should just come out of the closet already and stop all this stupidity... just saying.. .

  Over 1,000,000 in attendance and you are worried about tight pants?

  you know, rarely in the history of the org has a group this large congregated to hear from "mother.

  " they incessantly speak of the huge group that met at yankee stadium in 1958...the over 250,000 that congregated to be instructed by jehovah.

  but over the weekend, there were over 1,000,000 people excited to hear some type of direction, some type of encouragement, something to help them hang on "just a little longer.".

  In my experience, people who have an issue with things like tight pants, low tops, tight skirts, short skirts, tight tops, short tops, high heels, dark stockings, makeup, etc. etc. etc. are projecting their own inner weaknesses and are most likely to be sexually frustrated.

  Anyway, with all that talk of tight skirts and high heals, I'm off for a cold shower 😰

  JW`s claim to follow 1st Century christians ,identifying them as true christians distinguishing them from false christians of christendom.

  by smiddy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  they critisize the dress code of modern society , that may be permitted at a church of christendom , jeans , slacks worn by women , denim skirts worn by women ,spanx worn by women who have been exercising ,jogging shoes , no tie`s worn by men , beards on men , long hair by men, sandals ,thongs, flipflops , and i`m sure their are many more you can think of .. none of these dress codes/styles are tolerated at jehovahs witness meetings , if you try turning up in any of this attire you will be counselled to change your ways after a few of your attempts.. so if they have a problem which they do , why dont they instruct the faithfull to truly follow the 1st century christians by wearing the traditional dress that was worn in bible times , for men and women .

  meh-eel .. why dont they allow men to have beards and long hair and sandals that was a requirement for gaining approval of god in the first century.. the fact of the matter is they give lip service to following the first century christians , however the reality , is they dont.. smiddy.

  In truth, if Jesus turned up to one of their meetings they wouldnt accept him.
