this morning we published a very moving story written by a jehovah's witness whose 15-year-old son died supporting the watchtower's society blood policy.
to the best of my knowledge, this is the first time a jw parent has gathered up the courage to face down this monstrous policy after losing their child.
this is a very special person indeed and when we finally gather enough of these folks together and set them in front of the right attorney, the wts will be in for some serious litigation.. at present mary is in the midst of divorce from her jw husband and nailing down a custody agreement, so the identity of her and her son must remain anonymous.
The case may not the best evidence to show what is wrong with blood polciy.
Do protesters need to wait for an 'ideal' case?
Present the facts and thinking people can arrive to conclusion. Specially parents will be inclined to make up their minds, revisit the issue.
one - nil to england .

Next time just remove the offensive post and if it continues then delete the poster.
Most of us have posted in bad taste. give everyone a chance even if they dont apollogize. Very few will apologize, that is how most people are.
No big difference between WT/JW and people posting here. May be within the next 300 years we human will learn a lesson or two.
You can have link with a disclaimer...
I need a beer now, bye
we all know the bible's view on capital punishment.
in fact, in the 1969 edition of aid to bible understanding, the author notes the following: .
"the value of life is considered so sacred by god that the blood of a murdered person is viewed by him as defiling the earth and such defilement can be cleansed only by shedding the blood of the murdered.
for those of you say NO.
Do you eat dead animals?
So you approve killing animals,
why?
hey, why dont you kill your dog and eat it?
if you belevie in evolution,
Better yet go and kill some monkeys and eat them too, make sure is not a relative.
I could not kill any kind of animal, except insects in self defense.
btw
I just had a hamburguer, talk about contradiction, i will reconsdirer my eating habits...

too complex, so
YES and NO
what brings a smile to your face?
i cant help but smile when my wife laughs, or when my kids play outside.
i also smile when my boy, who is 15 wants to talk to me.
Can you define it?
What about animals do they smile? or is it only human?
Anyway it is my autoreaction when i meet people, anyone, unless they point a gun at me. Also i am not sure about gb members anymore...
oh darn...i hate when life grants those wishes, when you ask for them.
this august 7th i leave the u.s. and fly to rio de janeiro and will be coming back late january or should time provide, mid march.
i dread staying untill march, because of carnival...i know, i know...terrible, absolutely terrible.
Not even the multimillionaire World Class Football player was good eunough for Xuxa?
I think is MY turn to seduce her... I'll send a present to her with you. Just dont try to be too smart, ok?
Just let me kow her reaction, the following note will be included:
If you like it smile... if not just returned to me, it is my last one.
(contingency plan = re-wrap it and send it to the Russian girl who won the Miss Universe contest, will have to check with Putin first, hummm)
i know i asked this absolutely yonks back, then by the name of celtic, but with so many newcomers here i thought no harm but to ask once again.. how many artists do we have here or working in art related fields including film, music, theatre, environment, gardening, sculpture, graphic design, illustration, fine art, photograpy etc etc?.
what hobbies do you have?
how do you see your future artistic horizons opening up?
Can we consider posting here a healing art?
Doing a lot of writting but 'saying' litle is an art. Ask YK.
ok before we get off on the wrong foot this is not a flame war.
i read a comment by belbab on hillary's post this morning...he remarked that he had asked a question after the 09/11 attack, that no one answered.
well, i didn't even remember reading it, so i did a simple search.
Only ignorant people ignore people no matter who/what they are..
But it is ok to ignore certain topics that do not interest you or in the way the topic is being discussed.
So much for shunning... look the price wt is paying for ignoring people, silentlambs.
Look at the price USA is paying for ignoring people/countries.
Some people seem to never learn...

The best topic are usually ignored here, nothing new.
Limited social capabilty keep many posters from reacting
or contribute to a good topic, UNLESS they "know"
the author... in many other cases such 'limitation' does
not exist but they feel free to pick and choose.
Some choose to interact only with hi level posters,
they feel better/hi.
Heck I would feel better if could interact with Xuxa, openly.
I need to externally nonvalidate my nonworthiness
in my own eyes.
THEN you have sex and fight topics...
they are great judging by the number of participants/posters
