  amazing how cults end up looking so similar.

  have you ever wondered how budhist monks and catholic monks look and behave so similarly?

  or why mormons and jw religion have so many parallels?.

  I just read that the French are not happy with the movie; they feel that it doesn't recognize them enough.

  What happened in Cuba

  Heccea year agoa year ago

  A little bit more of "cold war history".

  When started to get hot and it was evident that there was going to be a serious clash with the Government, the first thing that the WT did was to protect their assets; they converted as much of their property into solid cash and got the money out of the country mostly by illegal means

  Family of Jehovah's Witness who died after refusing blood transfusion can't keep suing doctors

  by pale.emperor in

  http://www.pennlive.com/news/2017/07/court_nixes_lawsuit_by_family.html.

  the family of a jehovah's witness who died after repeatedly refusing blood transfusions can't sue the hospital where doctors begged for a chance to save her life, a state appeals court ruled.. the case, outlined in an opinion by superior court judge jacqueline o. shogan, involves a convergence of religion, medicine and the law.. its focus is on what happened before terri seels-davila, a jehovah's witness missionary, died after giving birth at hahnemann university hospital in philadelphia in november 2010.. seels-davila, who had been serving on mission with her husband in nicaragua, chose hahnemann because of its "bloodless medicine" program for patients who won't agree to having blood transfusions, including jehovah's witnesses, shogan noted.

  the treatment plan for seels-davila called for recycling her own blood back into her system.. yet that proved to be inadequate when complications of her delivery required seels-davila to deliver by cesarean section.

  "Family of Jehovah's Witness who died after refusing blood transfusion can't keep suing doctors" - Correct. You can't have it both ways.

  What happened to not infringing on someone's religion?

  Oh right, someone died because of that religion.

  The Jehovahs are a fringe Christian cult whose ignorance sentences their adherents to death. No religion worth believing in does that, in my opinion.
  

  @JTSpangler they are no more fringe than any other Christian sect. Each sect has just as many baseless beliefs as the next. It's just when those beliefs are actually acted upon that people realize that religion is pretty silly and dangerous.

  wait, what? why is this even a thing? how did this waste my tax dollars in any court?
  

  

  JB781 day ago

  @D I'm trying to understand this too! If their religion prohibits blood transfusion and she obviously died from a loss of blood why are they suing? Shouldn't they be going around knocking on peoples' homes instead???

  It's civil court, so one or both of the parties are likely footing the bill.

  Let's talk about Don Adams.

  by Ray Frankz in

  2. beliefs

  it's interesting that the person of the president of wtbts has figured lesser and lesser since f. franz era.

  i was born in the religion in the 90's and i got to know about russel, rutherford, knorr and franz; but i never knew until a couple of years ago that m. henschel was the president in that time.

  the same happens with don adams now, the first wt president from the 'other sheep'.

  witnessing would cease, would it flow on to attendance numbers at meetings and then total decimation of the church..

  Report cards started as a way for the out of town distributors could report their book sales, this was important to replenish their inventory and to settle their credit accounts with the Society.

  the conversation soon got to spiritual subjects, this elder is company man all through and side kick well he's learning the ropes.

  bang mentioned snake antivenin, blood factions, then big geoffrey jackson saying presumptuous, then vin toole in the arc saying he had never heard of theocratic warfare.

  then told how god made exceptions to the rules on blood when soldiers ate unbled meat.

  Chook: interesting situation; Croc Dundee style. I was not aware that friends at Australia had faced such a life and death situation due to the anti venom issue.

  Thanks
