I'm an Organ Donor

by prophecor in

.

Sam Beli

Absolutely, I would donate, if my organs were deemed suitable for donation.

I am the recipient of a solid organ donation. It saved my life! I was told
that the donor died in an accident in another state. That family has my
eternal, deeply felt gratitude.

Prophecor, I can assure you that the surgeons at the University of Pittsburgh
are ethical, or at least they were in 1993. I personally know several surgeons
and other physicians who were connected with their transplant program in 1993.
Their ethics were unimpeachable.

THE HLC: DID THESE GUYS GO TO COLLEGE FOR THIS STUFF?

by stillAwitness in

a 5 page letter was read last night from the gb in reference to the hospital liaison committe.

i never knew those guys had so much power!

i tried best i could to write down all the important points word for word as they were said: (apparently the letter will not be posted on the board but anyone is free to speak to an elder with any questions concerning the letter:

Least anyone get the idea that HLC members know more than the physicians
and surgeons with whom they talk:

The HLC does provide the service of speaking for the JW who does not know
what fractions are permitted by WTS dogma. Virtually every JW falls into
the category of “Ignorant” when it comes to allowed substances.

HLC members are treated with respect by most doctors and other hospital
staff. Sincere JW patients usually represent to all who care for them that
the HLC speaks for them. Many JWs are relieved that they do not have to
answer difficult questions about what and why they are making certain
choices about blood therapy.

When the HLC is not present, doctors “roll their eyes” regarding what the
HLC members say and do. The arguments and “reasoning” of the official
WTS dogma is so unreasonable to these educated people that JWs and the HLC
are held in derision. Having observed the conduct of the HLC, doctors
nick-name them “The Gestapo.”

He must be counting every person that went to the memorial is he?

That was my assumption.

WTS vs Quotes: Requiem for a Research Web Site

by Quotes in

in compliance with the terms of a settlement agreement, my information and research web site, http://quotes.watchtower.ca, is now "dark".

the domain "watchtower.ca" has been transferred to wts (i assume they will have it pointing to borg.org watchtower.org asap).

my copies of the site have been destroyed, the files deleted, and my wt library cd has been destroyed, in accordance with the settlement agreement which will afford a "discontinuance" of their suit against me.

Sam Beli

Isn’t is interesting that the WTS that has persecuted you to the point of destroying your web site, also complains
about the Catholic Church’s practice of burning books several centuries ago. What is the difference between
Catholics and JWs?

Does Evolution Tell Us to Take More Vitamin C?

by metatron in

jw
friends

here's one for you evolution/creation enthusiasts: vitamin c. most animals don't need vitamin c because they have the ability to make it in their livers.

however, guinea pigs , chimps, gorillas, and .

humans don't have this ability.

Sam Beli

Met, I have long admired your observations on the WTS. In the matter of vitamin “C,” however, I must call attention to the controversial
nature of your contentions. You refer to Linus Pauling as a biochemist. This may
seem a small thing, but WHO2? Refers to his as a chemist: Linus Pauling, Chemist
• Born: 28 February 1901
• Birthplace: Portland, Oregon
• Died: 19 August 1994
• Best Known As: Two-time winner of the Nobel Prize Linus Pauling is considered one of the greatest chemists of the 20th century, a
winner of the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1954. He was an outspoken activist against
nuclear testing, and won the Nobel Prize for peace in 1962. After 1970 his fame -- and
controversial reputation -- centered on his insistence that Vitamin C had the power to
fight cancer and the common cold. Not everyone, by any means, agreed with him about vitamin “C” including the author of
“The Dark Side of Linus Pauling's Legacy.” This article can be found here: http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/pauling.html Regarding your reference to Gary Null and his web site, the Quack Watch site expresses
concern over his views of vitamin “C” http://www.quackwatch.org/04ConsumerEducation/null.html There is anecdotal evidence, such as your own experiences with vitamin “C” that support
its use in various disease processes, but in the view of many medical experts, scientific
evidence is lacking.
