Has she recovered from the accident and now needs corrective surgery? If so, it would appear that the WT has left open a "crack in the door" with regards to the use of autologous blood (one's own blood drawn and stored prior to surgery) .. The October 2001 WT mentions recourse to one's own blood if it's used as part of "current therapy." This for them is a significant liberalization; I read it on a thread somewher, maybe Marvin Shilmer can help here.

C'mon Philly,
Surely you can think of a more attractive way to get exposure to your second lanquage; how about movies with subtitles?

Blondie's Comments You Will Not Hear at the 05-29-2011 WT Study (JEREMIAH)

Thanks, Blondie. Once again, they've twisted the entire theme of the book Jeremiah into a pretzel. Even a cursory review of its contents show that Jeremiah's God-given denunications were directed at the annointed leadership of HIS OWN PEOPLE, notably the king and the priests, the higher-ups of that "typical theocracy."
It would therefore seem more apt to identify as today's real "Jeremiah class" the so-called "apostates" that call into question the accountability of the self-congratulating, arrogant Governing Body, often at considerable personal cost to themselves, i.e. the severance of cherished family ties and life-long relationships. For them, as for Jeremiah, it takes guts.

i guess they have to change it since so many more apparently belongs to the anointed ones..... well i hope this will make a few of them think and leave.. thx.

July 15th WT- Don't Research " False Stories " - Inspired by Satan !
by flipper ini know the poster lost generation made a fantastic thread on this july 15th apostate article, however - i noticed some very powerful points on pg.
17 paragraphs 9 - 11 which weren't brought out that i feel needed to be touched on.
as was brought out in his thread this article told jw's to avoid apostates because they are " mentally diseased " allegedly and to avoid their web sites, not read their literature, watch t.v.

The entire purpose of the "kool-aid" edition of the Watchtower is hard-core indoctrination and crowd control, away from the prying eyes of the uninitiated.

Any God that let's baby's and children die is not my God
by Star tiger in.
i working in an old peoples home and i can understand that after a long life they die, but not in this horrible way of not knowing their family lost somewhere in their mind.. worse than that is the thought of children dying it angers me extremely that a god of love would allow this on the basis of his own ego!!!.

Why the stunning lack of accurate, historical evidence for Jesus Christ?
by nicolaou inby no means a new topic for discussion but always worth a fresh airing .
i'd suggest that the 1st century was quite a well documented time.
we have lots of historical evidence for important people who actually existed.

"Jesus is now recognized by Jehovah's Witnesses as the reigning king, who, since the year 1914, has been ruling 'in the midst of his enemies.' (Psalm 110:2) It is this sacred pronouncement about the "good news of the kingdom" that Jehovah's Witnesses are now preaching "in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations"; this prophecy is undergoing fulfillment in our day. (Matthew 24:14)"
What can transform such a tenuous stitching together of disparate scriptures, separated by centuries in their composition, combined with a liberal dose of mathematical legerdemain, into an unequivocal fact? 1914? Why not 1874 or 1934?
