Swindler's list - no less: the story of how thousands of kiddie fiddlers were rescued from "evil" persecutors.
Yes, it is sarcasm, in case anyone doubted.

How do you know the difference between the wisdom of Jehovah, and the wisdom of Bronze Age humans who wrote about Jehovah?

Jehovah told them what to write.
Circular reasoning at its finest.
How do you know that the Bible is true?
Because it says so in the Bible.

by -Crossroads- inhello jwn,.
to introduce myself, i am still in the jws but learned ttatt some months ago.
i now ask this question to get more info on a past teaching.. between 1967 and 1980 was when the 'current understanding' of the wts was that organ transplants were cannibalism, and thus abhorrent.

"Even now, though they have abandoned much of the egregious medical quackery spewed by the Golden Age, they continue to impose their groundless religious interpretations on their followers' most personal medical decisions. They rail against in-vitro fertilization (IVF), egg and sperm donation, surrogacy, etc., equating it with adultery."
IVF is banned? I never knew. That is just crazy.

I see it, thanks.
I'm in Crawley, West Sussex.
Always lived here. Even remember the days before they had a KH and used to meet at a bowls club and later, a school.
I was always destined for greater things; when they were building the KH, I used to disappear into the cafe across the road and play the fruit machine LOL.

This Completely Batshit Week In British Politics, Explained For Americans

Simon said, "I think the UK will remain after a general election is called. When a decision is obviously wrong there's no need to go through with it."
I voted to remain in the EU. There were powerful arguments on both sides, so it comes down to which of those arguments resonated with people at an individual level. Now here's the rub (for me). If some misguided politician goes for a second referendum, I would need to think very carefully about which way to vote. This is because I feel that the democratic process needs to take precedence over the will of those who wish to be our lords and masters. Effectively, I could end up voting for the poorer option, because I dislike ignoring the people more than I dislike the thought of leaving the EU. I hope that made sense.

I was in from '62 until '73.
I do remember it being referred to as cannibalism. I've no idea what the punishment would have been though. It always struck me as odd that the JWs confused their orifices; blood by transfusion was "eating" it and organ transplant was referred to by a word more commonly associated with humans eating other humans (though I do note that cannibalising has other meaning too).
It probably had more publicity in the late 60s or thereabouts due to the first heart transplant taking place.

£227bn UK exports to EU
£288bn UK imports from EU
I'm wondering how much of that export number is for financial services, because they are discussing moving that away from the UK.

"We can now spend that £166 million plus the rest as we want"
Indeed, 250 billion (potentially) can be printed to shore up the markets and the currency. That's about 31 years worth of net EU contributions. I suspect that the NHS is at the back of the queue.
