  Who or what is to blame for the Newtown CT shooting?

  by BreathoftheIndianNose in

  if events like the recent school shooting in newtown are to be avoided from here on out, we must understand who or what is to blame.

  there is a reason that it happend, maybe it was simple or maybe it was very complex, but this didn't just simply happen.

  a series of events transpired that inspired or even just allowed adam lanza to commit this terrible atrocity.

  well 'BOTIN' you got it in one.

  what is the cost of medication that one site said he was taking?

  you guys need a Pharmaceutical scheme like we have here in Australia. Its not free but the Govt carrys most of the cost. so no need to go off the pills.

  what the hell was his mother doing with those guns when her son was so unstable? here in Australia you are screaned by the police before you can get your permit to buy. Whether the NRA like it or not if that had been in place, perhaps this would not have happened.

  and what did he do for 'entertainment' those violent video games? pound his brain with that hate music?

  what was his hatred for little children?

  Did he ever listen to Mozart? and here i am drawing a comparison.

  As part of this site i comment but the answer must come from those in the US.

  Peace and love to you all.

  Watchtower softens position on Jehovah' Witnesses and blood transfusions? Canadian National Post Story.

  without fanfare, jehovahs witnesses quietly soften position on blood transfusionstom blackwell, national post staff | dec 20, 2012 9:59 pm et.

  more from national post staff.

  calgary herald/fileslawrence hughes broke with the witnesses, and the rest of his own family, when it tried to prevent his teenage daughter, bethany, who died in 2002, from receiving a blood transfusion while being treated for cancer.twittergoogle+linkedinemailcommentsmoretumblrpinterestredditdiggfarkitstumbleuponfor years, the jehovahs witnesses fiercely held belief that blood transfusions are contrary to gods will led to emotional and very public disputes, hospitals clashing with parents over whether to infuse sick children.. that long history of messy legal confrontations appears to be vanishing, however, amid changing approaches to the issue on both sides, health-care officials say.. the churchs ban on accepting blood still stands, but some major pediatric hospitals have begun officially acknowledging the parents unorthodox beliefs, while many jehovahs witnesses are signing letters recognizing that doctors may sometimes feel obliged to transfuse, they say.. as institutions show more respect toward parents faith and try harder not to use blood, witnesses often seem eager to avoid involving child-welfare authorities to facilitate transfusions, and more accepting that canadian case law is firmly on the doctors side, some hospital officials say.. they get it that were going to transfuse where its medically necessary.

  yes sacred event but not as sacred as the usually old elder droning on before hand.

  A pre baptism talk I suffered was elder long wind droning on adressing the candidate by gender wrong.. twice. Then began to 'close the meeting in prayer' recovered and finally ended.

  and the above circus of children running amok and lunch time chatter took hold.

  the actual baptism is a sideline to the talk from the platform.

  Imagine the apostles standing about with wives and crowds chattering on about events of the day gossip gossip gossip while someone was baptised or have i read the gospels wrong all these years?

  Yes full time student.

  all these who 'predict' are running way ahead of the scriptures and suffer an appaling ego and absence of corporate humility.

  Did christ say to the lame and the sick and the blind, "Hey listen up go to the temple and pray (real hard especially if you are a beaten wife) and wait on jehovah and in the end of times if you are not dead he will cure you"

  No! Christ healed them. As was in his power to do.

  I asked years ago how come we are not running feeding, housing, even aged care homes as the greatest enemy of man is getting old sick demented.

  I got what was to become all the usual blather.

  I was a nurse and I would like to see jw and the sisters who can stand in gender closed groups and talk shit at every opportunity in their skimpy clothes.

  I would like to see them and FDS (that doesnt exist-- a"convenient theological arrangement" and the Bethel bosses all cleaning up the faeces, the vomit, and handling the pain the despair.

  Perhaps facing the moral dilemas too of disconnecting someone from the oxygen the tubes and then sitting with them as they die...

  then tell their relatives of the death and be a sponge for all the tears.

  Yes that $80,000,000 the wts made from the sale of (was it just) one building would buy a lot of nursing home space.

  Money. my ex congregation has been set a huge rennovation program to build into the kh a unit for ex missionary couplesand to do some large renovations generally but...THEY have to raise the money first. ....................Vipers! and the jw in that hall are all pensioners or on low or part time incomes.

  and who will own the renovated hall when it is all done?

  Middle School Incident today

  by skeeter1 in

  2. family

  my middle schooler came home to tell me that the police officer assigned to the school arrested a 6th grade girl.

  the rumors (from those who knew her and were in the bathroom with her) were that she was cutting herself and said that her family didn't love her.

  she had drugs and birth control.

  6th grade ? what age is this. Birth control? drugs?
