The Liason commitee for Blood

by Crazyguy in

three plus years ago i had an experience that started to open my eyes to ttatt and it was about blood.

my wife was 9 months pregnant with my son and the baby was too big for us to have it at home with the assistance of a midwife.

at the hospital we met with the doctor and it was obvious that a c section was a possibility as well, again do to the size of the baby.

... so we met with a sister from the JW liaison committee ...

I thought all HLC are men. Perhaps she was indeed a fraud.

This thread was supposedly against God on the basis that if he existed he would be inconsistent with his own rules.

Dr. Steve: [to Homer] Simpson! You're not a licensed chiropractor, and you're stealing patients from me and from Dr. Steffi.

Homer: Boy, talk about irony. The AMA tries to drive you guys out of business, now you're doing the same to me. Think about the irony.

Dr. Steve: [grabs Homer by the collar] You've been warned. Stop chiropracting.

Homer: Not unless you think about the irony.

Correct. Now what if I followed you round telling you about the glory of Elvis and how Elvis was wonderful and how you too should believe in Elvis.

Wouldn't you get tired of hearing it?

That's you that is. Simon

Simon - Show me one single quote where I have said that God was wonderful and/or that you should believe in him.

Baseless invented rhetoric.

So it's okay to be delibrately crude and offensive just so long as you can imagine something more crude and offensive. Good point. Well you'll keep S&R happy. It is 2014 after all.

S&R - you should probably just stick to commenting on which page # we've reached. All your comments that I've seen are unecessary, but at least those are accurate and somewhat informative (for those who cannot be bothered to scroll).

My points were purposely crude and offensive DATA-DOG

@anyone other than DD - So how is that acceptable, and my decision to ignore certain comments is unacceptable?

Cofty - "Unacceptable" to whom?

I am not obliged to respond to every comment. I have ignored comments that were just rude or meaningless. I have ignored comments that are simply trying to draw out responses that can be misused. I believe that I have operated entirely within the rules of the forum (unlike some of the vulgar and angry speech that has featured on this thread). So in what way is that unacceptable?

Simon gets a prize, cos on this site he is god. He has power over our continued forum existence and does take action when required. And that’s as close to heaven as we’ll ever be. TG

And if I were to form an opinion of what Simon is like as a person simply from the limited actions I have observed during this discussion I might reach certain conclusions. Would I be right?

Elvis lives in me. You can't prove he doesn't. It's a mystery. I insist you accept it unless you can prove it's false. Simon

You are right that I can't prove it. Therefore I will not claim that there is a logical proof that it is impossible. I will simply treat the information in accord with my value system of whether it is likely/important or not. In this case I would simply ignore it.

I haven't asked anyone to accept a belief in God at any time in this conversation, let alone insisted on such acceptance.

The one insisting we accept something is Cofty, in case you haven't noticed after all this time.

Hey, I just won the promise of eternal life in paradise!

You can't ever prove that I won't get it so that means it's proof that I will.

This "belief" stuff is really easy !!

Awesome. Congrats.
