  stark reality facing jehovahs witnesses on blood.

  today i uploaded a new article offering except from a very recent medical journal article authored by a leading proponent of bloodless medicine.

  he is very frank on a subject watchtower dances around and never totally discloses to the community of jehovahs witnesses.

  baby dies after parents refuse blood transfusiondecember 13, 2010a 2-month-old baby born with heart defects died recently after her parents, members of jehovahs witness, refused to allow surgery because of their faith prohibiting blood transfusions, hospital officials said yesterday.

  the baby, identified by her surname lee, was born in august with a congenital heart disease.

  doctors at the seoul asan hospital, where she was first admitted, concluded that she needed surgery, but her parents refused to give permission, according to the officials.

  Anybody interested in attending a professionally-arranged conference addressing cultic group issues to be held in Nashville, TN?

  by AndersonsInfo in

  one of the paramount non-profit anti-cult organizations headquartered in the us would like to arrange a two-day conference to be held in nashville, tn in the fall of 2011. this organization sponsors conferences, workshops, local meetings and special lectures, seminars, and other events all over the world for those interested in this subject.

  at a nashville conference there will be opportunity to network with and listen to experts in the field and with people adversely affected by cultic experiences.. recently, when examining their records, this organization found that former jehovahs witnesses made up the bulk of those attending their anti-cult workshops which definitely indicates that many former witnesses are seeking help to overcome the damage from cult abuse.

  however, the nashville conference will not be solely for former jehovahs witnesses, but will encourage attendance by anyone interested in hearing the experts address psychological manipulation and abuse in cultic groups, alternative movements, and other environments.

  now that you've found the truth about the borg and have since left it.

  what have you done to make amends (if any) to the people that you once looked after?

  if any was disfellowshipped during your tulage as an elder, have you made contacts with them and make amends?.

  Yes, soon after the DFing I came to regret the action, feeling that justice was not done. It was years later, after getting my own thinking sorted out, that I called a still DF'd gentleman to apologize for my participation in the process.

  He was gracious and said that he had forgiven me many years earlier.

  Probably 10 to 20 % of JWs know what scriptures to use and when in support of JW dogma. To the uninformed they sound like intelligent Bible scholars. Most householders are uninformed as the author suggests. I don't think he admires JWs. Rather he seems to be saying that JWs win many debates, not that they are correct.

  In a New York Times (12/7) op-ed, columnist Nicholas D. Kristoff
  wrote that "XDR-TB, the scariest form of tuberculosis," may "spread
  to your neighborhood because it isn't being aggressively addressed
  now, before it rages out of control. It's being nurtured by global
  complacency." According to Kristoff, "Americans don't think much
  about TB, just as we didn't think much of AIDS in the 1980s."

  Nevertheless, "drug-resistant TB is spreading -- half a million cases
  a year already -- and in a world connected by jet planes and constant
  flows of migrants and tourists, the risk is that our myopia will catch
  up with us." At present, "one-third of the world's population is infected
  with TB, and some 1.5 million people die annually of it." These figures
  are higher than malaria deaths "or any infectious disease save AIDS."
  Kristoff recommended that "Barack Obama's administration should
  ensure it isn't complacent about TB in the way that Ronald Reagan
  was about AIDS."

  city loses conventionwednesday, october 01, 2008 by lee roopand kay campbelltimes staff writers [email protected]@htimes.comparking dispute spurs jehovah's witnesses to move .

  jehovah's witnesses will move their three summer meetings from huntsville to birmingham next year, ending for now a 12-year string of meetings that brought nearly $9 million a year in business to local hotels and restaurants.

  a dispute over parking has ended the annual meetings, at least for 2009, as the city's largest single convention booking, bringing 6,000 people to town each of the three weekends.

  I knew Gerald Grizzle as a very hard working CO nearly 40 years ago. He was actually a pretty nice guy then as far as I could tell.
