by Oversteer in

i'm looking for a bit of guidance here and not really sure where to turn.

You should find out your compatibility first. Then you can offer your transplant. I would not discuss your medical plans with your sibling and only with the doctor. If you are a match and the recipient chooses blood free surgery perhaps you, if you are the donor, could choose surgery without that restriction. In the USA confidentiality laws limit what can be told to anyone so you could keep your decision confidential.

The correct answer. Your medical procedures are between you and your doctor, nothing to do with your family.

when i was a jobo, i used to thing of 'life without end at laaaasssssst'.. having been on my journey out of the wbt$ slaveholdery, i have found that something that makes sense is that life doesn't owe us a meaning.

psalms 146:4 was actually bangeth on the money-eth 'his breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.'.

although i am now very atheist, and really do not even think there is the remotest possibility of a god, that bible passage is correct.

LUHE - I sometimes think I should be striving for great achievements. My daughter tells me that just little things that bring joy each day should be good enough.

Your daughter is wise - listen to her. The witnesses and other religious zealots will tell you how can not enjoy life if it doesn't have a purpose.

My particular purpose today is to look forward to a nice meal out with the wife tonight.

What will humans look like in 1000000 years?

by James Mixon in

ok, the bible is a fascinating book of fairy tales, so we move on..e. zolfagharifard, some guy states "humans will be very different creatures in just 1000 years from now due to climate change,artificial intelligence and genetic mutations are all set to transform our bodies in drastic ways.

a mixture of biology and machine on the inside.

this is only 1000 years from now, what the hell will humans look like in 100000 years????

Landy

The witnesses will be talking about the 30,000th overlapping generation.

A Believer....... A naughty, naughty sheep....

by DATA-DOG in

"a believer" seems to be our new apologist/disobedient sheep.

"a believer" ignores the "spirit-directed"/"bible-based" commands of the gb/fds!

shame on you, "a believer"!!!!

Landy

Give him a break gents. At least he's got the guts to come here and put up a civilised argument. He doesn't come across as preachng, not like some have.

"It is the victims right to approach authorities" The weak excuse used by the society

by stuckinarut2 in

we have seen that the society falls back on the line "it is the victims right to approach the authorities" during all the abuse claims.. they use this excuse to try and defend the passive lack of action in failing to report suspected cases of abuse.. a comparison came to mind:.

if we came across a person lying in the street who says they were hit by a car, would we say "it is your absolute right to call the paramedics and police"?.

or would we take the initiative and call those authorities ourselves to help the person?.

Landy

It depends on the situation - if the victim is a minor then absolutely - it should be reported to the police immediately.

if it's a case of historic abuse and the victim is now older then it's up to the victim.

Australian Jehovah's Witnesses are ignorant of the Australian Royal Commission

by stuckinarut2 in

many here have asked how the average witness in australia is taking the news of the arc findings and conclusions.. is it affecting them?.

sorry to say, hardly any are even aware of the facts.

those that are, have been convinced that all the publicity is "apostate lies and satanic propaganda".

Landy

Of course they are. I don't know why you're surprised. You can convince anybody of anything if they want to believe it.

Great Tribulation and Trump

by TakeOffTheCrown in

please, let's discuss this subject without attacking one another.. it appears that trump has won a victory that no one expected.

is it possible that trump may play a part in the great tribulation?.

there are some who believe trump is one of the most unqualified of men to ever be elected president of the united states.

Landy

Well I prophesised that trump would win so yes.

To be fair it was 50/50 though.

Landy

Is there some meaning to this? What do you think?

Yes, it means that a property developer has bought the WTS buildings that were up for sale and Trump has been elected president.

It's nice that you heard from your Mum - hope you can keep the lines of communication open.
