  lots of hospitals have hired jw's as bloodless care manager.

  if they find out that a jw agrees to take blood, what is their protocol in such a case?

  usa scenario so hippa is a factor.

  Question. Hired? HCLA elders are volunteers, not employees. And they are supposedly for encouragement but the real reason is enforcement.

  References in science vs references in film

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  2. entertainment

  i have a science background but am fairly new to film critics and what they talk about.

  in science, references are used to support statements, introduce some ideas that other scientists may propose, etc.

  they have a purpose.

  Movies ain't real. Even documentary films are somewhat rigged.

  A nod to a famous scene is a compliment. Right off I can think of the sistene chapel, Marilyns dress blowing up. Simpsons has famous artwork showing up in the homes. South park.

  What was the Overall reaction from the world media ,to the Awake article ,may 22nd 1994 regarding "Youths Who Died Refusing Blood".

  i , and my wife had probably left about 12 months prior to this magazine coming out , and i never at that time had any knowledge of it till many years later when i joined this site.. when i did see it , i was appalled that they could put out such an article , in a magazine they would distribute throughout the world .. to me it smacked of child abuse .

  these were kids , who had no life experiences , who were far too young to make life or death choices of their own , were influenced by religous leaders who had their own agenda , and sadly by family , relatives and freinds who were indoctrinated by a man made religion that has its roots in america in the late 1800`s .. so my question is , did this episode of child abuse go under the radar of mainstream media ?

  did it escape child protection agencies of the time ?.

  It seems bigger to us than the outsiders. As said few read the mags.

  The ones I hated to offer were the tanks running over babies, fireballs from heaven, a whole bunch of covers taken from comic books.

  Dont forget the deep science; brush your teeth, wash your hands, eat your veggies.

  How about more earthquakes? Haiti is the last cited proof. They forgot volcanoes, but krakatoa was before 1914

  well, it has happened.. workers in these industries will be forced to vax or lose their employment.. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-01/victoria-which-authorised-workers-mandatory-vaccination-onsite/100506980.

  i'm glad to be out of the workforce.. never thought it would come to this in a supposed democratic society.. no wonder protests and law suits are increasing in intensity.

  like for fucks sake,,, a worker at a takeaway bottle / liquor shop.

  There are reports of the Jan 6 people being let into the Capitol and now being kept in solitary. Just one step away from the infamous "disappeared" category.

  There is a reason for gun restrictions no matter whether you personally think about it. "Assault rifle, pistol, revolver, shotgun, 25 acp, 50 bmg, .556; all are buzz words for "why do you need it"?

  GENDER PRONOUNS

  by JohnTron72 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just to put it out there, the whole gender pronouns idea being pushed by the lgbtq+ minorities is just a way to try to hide the sin of homosexuality.

  if you can void people talking about your true sexual identity then it seems there is no sin anymore if two they or them of the same sex are together.

  example of the coverup: ("i don't identify as either gender"), so the kids i'm raising in a lesbian relationship need not speak of me as a mom or any other female term and we all don't have to feel any stigma attached to the true terms so, any shame we might feel is hidden anyway.

  There is no way to know what imaginary pronoun to use. In the store i will say thank you ma'am or sir. The constructs of language require rules if we are to understand each other

  It sounds ignorant to say how is them, they, orcother made up pronoun

  How about it?

  Yes. A child df for denying being in association with a worldly friend. No misconduct alleged at that time. Brought in 2 witnesses, one of whom was NOT baptized to testify that he not only was there but entered the friend's home.

  A witch hunt that went far beyond the 3 on the committee.

  We had an elder have an affair with a brothers wife. When the innocent got killed he married her and left his first wife. of course he was reinstalled as soon as possible because he was from a well known family.

  The part I cannot forgive is he invited my wife ( before i was around) to travel with him alone. She now knows what he was after and was very naive. I dearly love my wife and try to protect her, I knew her weaknesses then and now and am glad she did not get hurt. She is MY wife complete with faults, and trying to hurt her still galls me.
