Why not just do a C-section, if she's that tiny and the baby is that big. Why put her through more physical suffering when she's already going through horrendous psychological torture?

7Australia Yahoo news
by gabcol ini just found this on yahoo news australia : .
a jehovah’s witness girl may be forced to receive a blood transfusion against her will this weekend when she gives birth in melbourne.. mercy hospital victoria was granted supreme court authority on friday to give the girl blood as a “last resort” if she suffers a postpartum haemorrhage when induced into labour on sunday afternoon.
the 17-year-old first-time mother is considered to be at increased risk of haemorrhaging because she is of “small stature” and the baby is large, meaning she may have a long labour, an assisted birth or an emergency caesarean.. jehovah’s witnesses forbid followers from receiving blood transfusions or blood products.. the risk to the baby from the mother refusing blood is considered low.. view photos.

Nature is amazing :)
by LoveUniHateExams ini studied biology at uni and specialised in animal biology (wolf behaviour) but i've always liked natural history.. even if i never went to uni, i'd still be amazed by nature and i'd still watch nature programs on tv.. i'd like start a thread where posters can post nature clips that are in some way amazing.. the vid below shows wild wolves in the canadian arctic encountering humans for the first time.. these wolves haven't been exterminated by human hunters and therefore haven't learnt to fear humans.
result: wild wolves approach human strangers almost like dogs.
pretty cool.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izgavk7fovu .

Having seen some videos where ex-JWs go into the KH and try to commandeer the Meeting™, I'm sure this is meant to curb that behaviour. Of course, those ex-JWs know to show up on time, so it's not likely to stop them....

192-page books
by Fred Franztone inthis is my 192nd post, so i thought it'd be fitting to ask a somewhat banal question which i've occasionally pondered over the years.
does anyone know what's behind the wt's penchant for 192-page books?
is there some kind of logistical reason for this?

I thought it was the most cost effective size to publish, with the least amount of waste.
Which is why we used to be able to offer them for 25¢ each.

Apostasy: The Movie - Directed by Daniel Kokotajlo
by darkspilver indaniel kokotajlo's new film apostasy has it's world premiere at the toronto international film festival in september 2017. apostasy.
family and faith come into conflict for two jehovah’s witness sisters in manchester, when one is condemned for fornication and the other pressured to shun her sibling.. this fresh, unadorned first feature from director dan kokotajlo carries an unmistakable note of authenticity from its very first scenes.
set in a jehovah's witness community in england, the film's strength and power lies in its directness.. apostasy depicts the growing rift in a family — a mother and two daughters — who are rigorously devoted to their religion.

I don't get why some point to the no tolerance for gays and subjugation of women as a JW thing.
by blownaway insome churches have taken the step to allow gays, women instructing men ect.
but its not a jw thing.
its a bible thing.

You'd also have to accept the punishment of stoning for adultery or fornication. They're cool with raping though, as long as you pay her dad 30 shekels, you get to marry her and never divorce her.

If she is as staunch a follower as OP says, she will not Study™ with him. She will ask another Brother™ to do it. I doubt that she'd even be permitted to sit in on the Study™.

From what I heard recently, the ones doing Cart Witnessing™ love it. The instructions are that they only speak to people who approach them. They go to a busy area (like the bus park & ride area) but are careful to stay off private property, and put in their 2 hours from 7 am to 9 am, and have the rest of the day to do what they want.
