Maybe none of the boys that were victims did get killed. But one of the victims suffered serious injuries, countless surgeries, and still has to undergo another surgery and rehabilitation, etc.

These boys should have been kicked of the football team for conduct unbecoming a student and athelite, and the judge should have imposed their sentences immediately.

You reap what you sow and they should have not been given a chance to continue to play football again for the season.

Article about HIV

by Moomin in

jw
friends

during one of my book studies, the subject of hiv came up.

i was told that if a brother or sister was infected with the virus then they should humbly accept the fact that some people may not want them in their homes.

so anyone with the virus will be able to attend meetings at the kh but not the book study or any social gatherings.

Hi aoxo:

Thank you for your reply and thoughts.

I also heard that AIDS cannot survive more than a time outside, etc.

However, because people (including myself) are not well informed ( although I try to be) about this disease and because the medical profession is still learning about this disease ( to the point that they cannot find a cure or stop the spread indefinitely), this disease scares persons and makes them not want to confront it or be around persons afflicted.

I can tell you that whenever myself and my husband, daughter, my brothers and sisters visited my late sister-in-law, we made sure that we were healthy- so as not to make her any more sick (low t-cell count, chance of getting infections, colds, etc). We were not afraid to be around her, hug her, to show her compassion and love,etc.

People need to understand that AIDS victims, especially in the last moments of their lives, need compassion and love from family and friends.

As sad as it was, we were all there in NJ with my late sister-in-law when she passed away at home in her hospice bed at her side and holding her hand.

WE all believed and know she knew we loved her and would miss her.

My late sister-in-law died of AIDS at the young age of 27, due to receiving tainted blood transfusion when she was 15 years old. It took over ten years for her to become full-blown with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

She did not know she had this disease when she starting studying (my brother married her as an unbeliever-JW talk) and soon qualified to become baptized. The elders informed her and my brother in Sommerville, NJ that she could not get baptized at the Circuit Assembly in the same water with the other baptismal candidates. So they arranged a special and separate baptism ceremony at their home and then baptised her at a ceremony at a beach on the NJ shore. I was very upset, but most of my family living up North who could attend went and was very happy for her. We were glad she came to know about God and the Bible and his promises because she was one of the sweetest persons I have ever met in my life. At the Circuit Assembly, she stood to the side while all other brothers and sisters were baptized in the pool. I felt very sad at that moment.

However, bodily fluids are very dangerous and can spread the virus that causes AIDS. That is why when I was a Life Insurance Agent, all we had to do was take a saliva swab of a client's mouth and that was enough for the Life Insurance Carrier to test and tell if a person had HIV.

Persons should be aware that when they kiss someone, that persons saliva can be infected with the virus that causes AIDS and can be spread to other persons.

It's 'food for thought'.

promises of everlasting life in paradise earth are held.

Hi Wanderer:

You are not alone with your feelings. My husband and I have discussed these exact issues time and time again. But at some point you have to let go of feeling betrayed, or angry, or bitter, etc.

We are currently going back to school to pursue degrees, working, and enjoying activities we did not take time to do because of our full devotion to the organization, (ie: meeting attendance, aux and regular pioneering, building construction committees,) etc.

So do not continue to feel bad, just continue on with living and working towards your dreams and goals you did not concentrate on while in the JW organization.

Nearly Lost my Son Yesterday

i got a call from the ex, she was in tears, and said that our son was struck by car while riding his bike to work.

when i got to the er, he was lying there in the bed.

he was bruised & scratched.

ronin1

I'm glad to hear your son will be alright.

This is what happens when persons do not know their limitations, do not follow the laws of the land, and have no regard for the lives of others.

I hope that driver get's the book thrown at him and does not get behind a wheel in a very long time.

I have a "no tolerance' rule for people who drink and drive.

Shame on you! You do everything to make"Jehovah`s Witness`s" look bad!

ever had that said to you?...outlaw .

The JW organization and its members do a good job of looking bad on their own by their hypocrisy, lying, child molestation charges, breaking up families, etc.

I do not want to be so mean, but 'wake up and smell the coffee'. Or have you not noticed the 'stench' from all the unchristian and wrong things the JW organization has done over the past 50 years+.
