Something creepy during a study
by kurtbethel inso, the local jw troops have stepped up my study because i have had a difficult time swallowing the "truth", and have sent a ms to speed things along.
he mentioned satan tempting eve, and i said i had never read that.
sure, so there is a serpent tempting eve in genesis 3, but no satan.

If the "truth" really was the "truth" Do you really think that we would have left the "truth"?

I got out of one Christian forum today because of their arrogance and hated me quoting NWT to them and telling them some scriptual knowledge which has contradicted them with their own scriptur translations.
I'm Sure you did.
Or it could heve been you being arrogant sharing your "scriptual knowledge". Ever STOP and think the NWT might be the one in the wrong?

Transfusion policy for Jehovah's Witnesses needed, forum told
A SINGLE policy to manage the requirements of Jehovah’s Witness patients should be developed and implemented in all hospitals, a conference on medical consent heard yesterday.
Such a development could benefit patients and practitioners, and assist in the challenge of managing blood loss among Ireland’s increasingly ethnic population, Dr Emer Lawlor of the National Haemovigilance Office said.
Jehovah’s Witnesses believe the Bible prohibits eating blood and its storage and transfusion, even in instances of medical emergency.
An estimated 5,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses live in Ireland and their beliefs have resulted in a series of legal challenges after hospitals sought court orders to overrule objections to blood transfusions by members of the community or their families.
Dr Lawlor said hospitals treating Jehovah’s Witnesses should utilise all measures to reduce blood loss, be given contact details for legal representatives of patients, and that hospital refusal forms should clearly explain the consequences of any decision.
“In a general sense, every hospital should have a policy for managing Jehovah’s Witness patients,” she said.
“But I am of the opinion that there should be a national overall policy.”
The conference, The Principle of Consent, organised by the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland, discussed issues associated with consent from both medical and legal perspectives.
Dr Simon Mills, a lecturer in medical law, said patients have a statutory right to refuse treatment and are not obligated to undergo procedures, regardless of the severity of their illness, if it is contrary to their religious beliefs.
“Once a person is in a position to give consent, they are also in a position to refuse it,” he said.
“As with giving consent, the refusal must be voluntary, informed and backed up by the necessary capacity.”
Dr Mills said he expected the Mental Capacity Bill 2007, which is making its way through the Oireachtas, to define issues surrounding consent more clearly.
Sheila O’Connor, of advocacy group Patient Focus, said many of the people who contacted the group believed they had ceded less consent than medical professionals assumed in treatment.
Ms O’Connor said many doctors and nurses believed they do not make mistakes in their work, but that a number of medical practitioners had contacted the group as they were wounded by the bad experiences of their patients.

garrybus interviewed on local regional Australian radio.
by Holey_Cheeses*King_of_the juice. inhad a pleasant surprise today whilst listening to my local abc (australian broadcasting commission) radio station to find that the presenter was talking to a garry, with an american accent, regarding jws.
i began listening subsequent to the introduction of the segment, but eventually worked out that it was in relation to the person appointed to head a political party in queensland happening to be a former jw.. the discussion centered around garry's involvement with the jws and various activities in which the dubs are infamously known.
garry left a good 'witness' for ex-jws.. at the end of the segment the presenter thanked garry busselman from (such and such) in the u.s. and i thought, that name sounds familiar, and, sure enough, it is our very own garrybus.. it would be interesting to learn how garry came to be invited to discuss the subject.. cheeses - keeping up with current affairs..

One of my XGF worked for Prince, and he(or somebody) would always put tracts and mags in work related paper work. I have also had the chance to meet Prince, and Larry Graham, and it is vary true. They are Dubs. Larry, is a big time Dub. Prince, who the hell knows whats he is up to. There was a write up in the paper a few years back about Prince going D2D. You could find it by looking at the Minneapolis, news paper. The Star Trib.
