What if the patient dies due to blood contamination from the dropped suction tube. Would the family bring a malpractice suit for negligence?

You know this is what Trump and Obama were thinking.

Why do trolls do what they do?

i truly don't understand the mindset of a troll.

i know it's been explained, but i still don't get it.

it is hard to distinguish between a troll and a jw apologist at times because the reactions are very similar.

Spoletta

It allows them to say things that they think, without the danger of being ostracized for having socially unacceptable views.

Mr Trump looked in the Bible to see what's God view on "Torture"

by James Mixon in

guess what, first book of the bible genesis 3:16 and he found other books that condones torture, exodus 7:3, numbers 31:17,18 and many more in that book.

so trump thought i have god's blessing..

DJS, I agree. If only legal citizens were hired for all service jobs, agricultural work, childcare, and heavy labor at reasonable wages with adequate healthcare, we'd be on the way to full employment and prosperity.

Let's target the true culprits. Those who make obscene profits by exploiting people who dare not fight for basic human rights because they are terrified of losing a job. And those who buy the cheaper products that result from from such a system. Those who condone and benefit from that arrangement have no right to complain.

This site should be called Anti-Jehovahs-Witnesses Cry-babies

by the-Question in

so, you left because of a bad example(s).. why all the whining?

nothing better to do with your time?.

you at least know far more about the bible than any church-goer?.

Spoletta

The greatest lie of all is that Witnesses are the "happiest" people on Earth, living in a spiritual paradise. If this is a foretaste of things to come, I want nothing to do with it!

All these clips are as funny today as they were so long ago. Even as a kid, I loved that show! It's a type of humor that anyone could understand. From outright slapstick, to subtle gibes at the pretensions we all exhibit at times, she was a true trailblazer in presenting women's issues in a non threatening, but thought provoking way.

So, the Womens March ... What Is It For?

by Simon in

it seems like mobilizing after the election, which seems pointless.

i keep hearing demands for equal rights but don't understand what rights they are missing exactly.. normally a march is to show the support (and potential votes) for a cause, but ... votes for what?

... and the election happened already.. is anyone else confused?

Look up the reliability of Rasmussen to decide if 59% is Trump's true favorability rating. I'm expecting Conway to announce it very soon.

Why is this blind allegiance to the anointed ones?

by anointed1 in

even when they know that certain things are not right with the organization the flocks are blindly following their leaders viewing them as the future “kings and priests” (originally a sumerian concept).. greed for a “land of milk and honey” (either in this life or the next) is at the root of their allegiance.

interestingly, greed is something the flocks are warned against: ‘be on your guard against all kinds of greed which is idolatry.’ (luke 12:15; colossians 3:5).

Spoletta

The idea that Anthony Morris, let alone the other 6 Governing Body members, would be appointed to lead in the New World makes it clear that the whole concept is fatally flawed. Not to mention having to deal with Russell, Rutherford, and the other chosen ones. Can you imagine the fighting over doctrine? I'm sure Russell would have a few things say to Rutherford!

I have no faith in a self appointed group that "just knows" they are chosen. I'm sure that Jehovah has a much better way to select his future Kings and Princes.

If the Org. confessed they were not God's org. Would you still be there and was that the main reason you stayed

by tor1500 in

jw

i know you know who i am by now...the one that forgets to use paragraphs...anyway, all over all the jw sites (not jw.org).

it's been asked if you knew this or that why did you stay...it's been discussed how no matter what you hit the friends with, failed dated, new lights, pedophiles, etc, yet they stay and you can't reason with them....so what i've come up with is that most stay because they feel it's god's org.

and they were chosen in place of the jews.

Spoletta

If the Organization is not favored by Jehovah, then why would you stay? There are plenty of religious groups that believe in good morals and caring for others. Without their claim of being the only true faith, why wouldn't you switch to a group that was not so judgmental and often cruel. If no denominations are perfect, why not belong to one that makes you happy. If Jehovah is a "happy God" why wouldn't he want you to be happy too?

I'm sorry, but equating the women's march with a call to establish Sharia law is a load of BS! I don't personally know one woman that approves of the treatment of women in some third world countries.

Those that paid attention, would have realized that people like the hated Hillary Clinton have spent a good deal of their time trying to improve the lives of those women. And please don't mention the Clinton foundation. Those who claimed that only a small amount of their money went to charity, omit the fact that the foundation runs it's own programs that supply aid around the world. Add that to their charitable donations and you're well over 90% going to good causes. Of course, most people would prefer to get their information from Breitbart, rather than reputable charity watchdog groups.

Certainly, there were all sorts of strange groups involved in the march, but I would argue that that the real message was not to fight for MORE rights, it was to preserve the rights that women have fought for for centuries.

If you really think that Trump and Pence don't pose any threat to the rights of minorities, other religions and nationalities, the LGBT community, or women in general, then you could only be getting your information from Youtube, Facebook,Twitter, Fox, Breitbart, and numerous other dubious sources that put the Watchtower to shame when it comes to cherry picking.

I choose to consider all sources, fact check when possible, and believe my own eyes and ears. When a false statement is made, and recorded, then it is a fact that it's a lie.There is no alternate fact.

I suspect that some of you don't really believe what you're saying, just like to poke the hive and watch the reaction. Some others, however, seem to care only if something disturbs their little universe. I think I'll stick with those who care about everyone.
