  Chemically castrated? What about the real thing.....

  After reading this I wonder why they even bother..

  *******************************************

  Chemical castration is the administration of medication designed to reduce libido and sexual activity, usually in the hope of preventing rapists, child molesters and other sex offenders from repeating their crimes. Unlike surgical castration, where the testes are removed through an incision in the scrotum, [ 1 ] chemical castration does not actually castrate the person, nor is it a form of sterilization. For this reason the term "chemical castration" has been called a misnomer. [ 2 ]

  Chemical castration is generally considered reversible when treatment is discontinued; in the case of Depo Provera, "no permanent physical change is wrought in the body." [ 2 ] Castration has, from time to time, been used as an instrument of public and/or judicial policy despite concerns over human rights and possible side effects. [ 3 ] [ 4 ]

  Contents [hide] 1 Application 2 Effects 3 Ethics 4 Studies 5 History and use by country 5.1 United States 5.2 Europe 5.3 Israel 5.4 Argentina 6 References

  [edit] Application

  Chemical castration involves the administration of anti-androgen drugs, such as cyproterone or the birth-control drug Depo-Provera, which is given as an injection every three months, making compliance easier to track.

  [edit] Effects

  When used by men, these drugs can reduce sex drive, compulsive sexual fantasies, and capacity for sexual arousal. Life-threatening side effects are rare, but some users show increases in body fat and reduced bone density, which increase long-term risk of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. They may also experience other "feminizing" effects such as gynecomastia, [ 5 ] [ 6 ] reduced body hair, [ 7 ] and loss of muscle mass. [ 8 ]

  ******************************************

  Regarding the part I read in another post that he was shown explicite sexual pictures and they had a monitor attached to see if he was aroused? I wonder if he was on the medicine when they did that test?

  I looked it up because I read in one of his comments in the previously posted article about how he wanted someday to marry and have children. Apparently chemical castration can be reversed..

  Knowing our ding dong court systems they probably gave him pills and told him to be sure to take them. (even tho it said it is usually given as an injection every three months)..

  She is recommending it for my daughter that has Lyme disease..she wants to let my daughter use hers not buy one..(They are expensive)

  (Some of their comments/claims)

  As we have been leading up to, the Aqua-Chi treatment involves both water and energy. This is how we derived the term Aqua-Chi, Aqua meaning water and Chi meaning energy or life force. The body has both a physical component and an energy component. The Aqua-Chi treatment acts on the energy component which in turn effects the physical. The treatment utilizes water, because water can carry and transfer the life force energy we need on a daily basis. When we are low on energy, the Aqua-Chi treatment can assist the body by giving it a useable energy boost. The Aqua-Chi treatment is dependent on two parts: 1. An electrical input to stimulate the water. 2. The water that is used. The electrical stimulus causes the water to become excited and produce the energy that your body absorbs and uses, providing we use a reasonable quality water. Remember we don't use distilled water, or water that has been processed by reverse osmosis.

  The effect of stimulating the water to produce energy starts the moment the stimulus is turned on. Because the water is where the energy is, the person seeking the treatment enters the water. Whether it be their whole body or just a part of their body, the energy will flow from the water to the body.

  What is the significance of each color?

  Believe it or not, it is important to eat a variety of colorful foods in order to assure balanced chemistry. Every color is a chemical and has a chemical value. Chemical components of foods contribute to their acid-alkaline balance. As a general rule, Green Foods nourish the immune system, especially the liver and gall bladder. Red Foods nourish the endocrine system, including the pituitary gland, as well as the heart and small intestines. Orange Foods nourish the joints. Yellow Foods nourish the digestive system, including the spleen, stomach, and pancreas. Yellow-green foods nourish the kidney, bladder, urinary tract, female/prostrate area.

  Brown Foods nourish the liver. White Foods nourish the respiratory system, namely the lungs, but also the large intestines, lymphatic system and skin. Black Foods nourish the circulatory system, kidneys, liver, gallbladder and bladder. White foam indicates mucous from lymph. White cheese like particles indicates probable yeast. Black flecks indicate heavy metals. Red flecks indicate blood clot material.

  By the same token, when the water is changing colors, each color represents the part of the body that is being detoxified. One of the most visual effects is the discoloration of the water, but while the color changes in the water can be dramatic, it is not the most important factor and one must be careful about making any judgment's based only on the water color.
  
  The Aqua Chi is energy medicine, and we believe that we see the most benefit and detox when the body is better balanced and charged, the body will be better able to detoxify through its regular channels of detoxification. (such as the kidneys, colon, liver).

  How were Rutherford's Cadillacs purchased?

  by InterestedOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i mentioned rutherford's cadillacs to my study conductor, and he said maybe rutherford was able to purchase them because he was independently wealthy.

  were they purchased from his own personal wealth or with the wt funds?.

  A story that was shared with me many long years ago was that someone who had become very very wealthy via ownership of Coca Cola bottling rights - sold for a small royalty fee per bottle - in those days they actually used glass bottles - became converted to the WTS - think he may have lived back in Iowa somewhere because this elder that knew him hailed from that area - and he delighted in giving Rutherford "gifts" as well as donating large sums of money to the WTS - he probably thought this was a manner in which he could serve God and it was apparently easy enough for him to do - I remember also being told his daughter worked for Rutherford as a secretary - wondering if that could have been Bonnie Boyd. Someone who knows how to research these things can probably verify all this for us - because for me it is simply part of the rumor mill - but if this is so the old man was able to keep an eye on how his monies were being used that way obviously, a savvy move and as I remember he provided the money for the mansion. That Bonnie's husband's name would be on the deed makes sense if this is the case.

  Anyway it always tickles my funny bone when I think about the fact that Coca Cola money helped finance the WTS empire - because I view Coca Cola as one of the devil's inventions. Just kidding but it doesn't truthfully contribute to anyone's physical health and the original formula did contain cocaine. The formula was on Yahoo news channel not too long ago. Think the drug was eliminated in about 1904 or something like that. But that history makes it even more amusing.

  I read that too Old salty...

  autologous

  [ôtol′?g?s] Etymology: Gk, autos + logos, ratio pertaining to a tissue or structure occurring naturally and derived from the same individual such as blood donated by a patient before surgery to be returned to the patient during or after surgery. Autologus was one that my JW hubby's sister said it was OK to do... Which I found surprising.. I don't think they really teach it is ok to save one's blood for a transfusion for a future surgery?

  Autotransfusion [ 1 ] is a process when a person receives their own blood for a transfusion, instead of banked donor blood. Blood can be pre-donated before a surgery, or can be collected during and after the surgery using a device commonly known as the Cell Saver. The Cell Saver is utilized in surgeries where there is expected a large volume blood loss. For example, aneurysm, total joint replacements and spinal surgeries. There are also small reservoir devices designed to collect the patients blood for return, such as the Orthopat and Constavacs.

  This I can see they would probably reject..

  Cell Salvage in the Jehovah’s Witness Patient • Response

  1. Jonathan H. Waters , MD and
  2. Paul S. Potter , MD

  + Author Affiliations

  1. Department of General Anesthesiology Cleveland Clinic Foundation Cleveland, OH

  We read with great interest the recent case report, published as a letter to the editor, titled, “Continuous autotransfusion in a Jehovah’s Witness undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting” (1). The authors make the claim that “conventional autotransfusion devices such as the Haemonetics Cell Saver [Munich, Germany] … are not accepted by all Jehovah’s Witness patients” because the blood is salvaged in batches. They then proceed to recommend continuous processing of blood via the CATS, manufactured by Fresenius AG (Bad Hamburg, Germany). The fashion in which this is written, leads the reader to believing that the only way to manage a Jehovah’s Witness patient is through the use of the Fresenius cell salvage machine. This statement is quite misleading.

  The issue of cell salvage has been addressed in The Watchtower (2,3), which is the official voice of Jehovah’s Witnesses and in an information pamphlet (4) created by the society to address these issues. Most Jehovah’s Witnesses feel that the external tubing of a heart-lung bypass circuit, dialysis tubing, or cell salvage equipment is an extension of their own circulatory system, as long as a continuous circuit is maintained. Stasis of the blood or “processing in batches” is not the issue. A complete circulatory arrest does not dictate that the blood in a bypass pump would need to be discarded in the same way a patient with a myocardial infarction who has had a circulatory arrest would not need to empty himself of his own blood. Acceptance of either technology is left to the conscience of the individual as to whether he or she believes that the bypass pump or the cell salvage machine tubing is truly an extension of themselves. If the patient will not accept cell salvage, then they probably will not accept surgery with a bypass system.

  In our institution, we have managed many Jehovah’s Witness patients with several different machines, including the Haemonetics Cell Saver 5, which processes blood in batches. The key to doing so is maintaining continuity with the patient. Not only do we perform cell salvage, but we also manage to perform perioperative apheresis with a continuous circuit setup for cardiac surgery (Figure 1). With this preparation, we are able to safely manage a Jehovah’s Witness patient through a surgical procedure in which 2–3 blood volumes are lost.

  Figure 1. The figure shows how a continuous loop is maintained with the patient in order to perform cell salvage and apheresis for cardiac bypass surgery.

  Neither of us are Jehovah’s Witnesses, nor do we profess to understand all of the nuances of being a Jehovah’s Witness; however, we have spoken with a local expert, Sharon Vernon, who is the Director of the Bloodless Medicine Institute in Cleveland, OH, a member of the board of directors for the National Association for Bloodless Medicine and Surgery, and a Jehovah’s Witness. She supports our position that movement of the blood is not an issue.

  Managing the Jehovah’s Witness patients strikes fear into many anesthesiologists’ hearts. Candid discussion with the patient about blood alternatives is often facilitated by consultation with the patient preoperatively involving a lay liaison representative who is available at all Jehovah’s Witness churches or through Health Information Services, Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, New York, NY. Through this interaction, misunderstandings can be avoided, leading to the safe conduct of an anesthetic for a Jehovah’s Witness patient, even when massive blood loss is expected.

  One of the things I remember was on Hubby's list was Hemodilution and Autologus..

  I think possibly fractions were also allowed. It's been so long since we filled out all the paperwork..funny how little the 'Local" JW's really knew about what they could and couldn't take. They were all just programmed to say "NO BLOOD"..

  I have the 1993 version of the book..

  The ex JW gal I recently met after many years just told me she boxed all her literature up (Many older publications) and put them in front of the kingdom hall she used to attend. After the meeting she watched from her car with her girlfriend as the witnesses picked through the boxes..(Like scavenger birds).

  I told her she probably could have sold them on the computer for a small fortune..especially the older bound volumes and books..but I told her I was glad she felt she could do that. She said she felt like she was doing something bad that displeased Jehovah....(I don't think she was ready yet.)

  I tried to comfort her. Time will tell..
