Article-Tennessean Newspaper (Nashville): "Bill ends shield for parents choosing prayer over medicine"
by AndersonsInfo inhttp://www.tennessean.com/story/money/industries/health-care/2016/01/19/bill-removes-protections-parents-choosing-prayer-over-medicine/79001194/?from=global&sessionkey=&autologin=.

a bill filed tuesday would remove a legal shield in tennessee for parents who reject medical treatment for children in favor of treatment by prayer.. it is a crime in tennessee to fail to provide medical care to children, with an exception, known as the spiritual treatment exemption act, for parents who want to rely on "spiritual means through prayer alone," according to state code.

WT Study 1/10/16 Encouraging Child Baptism And More Nonsense
by JW_Rogue ini've noticed that each wt lesson really only has one or two points they want remembered.
normally they build up to these by about the third subheading.
this week's lesson though was different, the main point was insidiously made through an experience in the first paragraph:.

New WT pdf tells children to report. Irony?
by wifibandit inpdf.
why won't watchtower tell abusers "i'm going to tell on you!
" and follow through with the proper authorities?

In my experience, any one a child might tell has been trained to think, "We wouldn't want to bring reproach on Jehovah's name!"
.... I heard it myself..... the relative was more concerned about "the congregation" and "the organization" than the child who was abused.
So sad.

Well, if you want to save your self some worry, problems, time and possible head cutting off.... get sick the week of his visit... OR 'get a job out of town'.... haha.... The more you meet, the more likely they will be to hunt you down. It never is really about 'how you are doing', it's really about what you are doing... right?
It is sad, but they have more questions to ask than a 2 year old, and they really, really 'want to keep the congregation clean.' Really..... don't meet.

Very important, you must save JWs from dieing at Armageddon!
by Crazyguy inevery drop of breast milk has roughly 1 million white blood cells in it.
so the next time you see a jw drink milk or eating milk with his cereal etc.
you must run over and take it out of his/her hands and then give them a stern warning.

I don't think it will work... If I was still a dub, I would reply, 'God made breast milk for kids, he knew that it has white blood cells, but he still forbid blood, and gave breast milk"...but, you never know????? maybe it will help some.

Dear MarkofCane! Thanks for writing, it is so interesting to hear of what is helping people escape the mind control of "the Borg."....
I remember that assembly, those phrases, "Do you know????? You better!!!!!" (sounded like a scene out of Star Wars, haha) and later that year we had the article on "607 B.C.E"... that finally had references that could be checked... and we did... and that is how I came to look at 'history', family, and life differently too!
I have definitely have appreciated the support and the large wealth of knowledge here on this board also... It takes the power away from the WT, they can't keep you feeling 'crazy.' We have seen behind the curtain, and are talking with others who have been there too.
So, a 'cold winter of 2013 with a long coat'... and now it's 2016...
How old are you? are you on the east coast? and what happened after that? ..... if it's possible, please fill us in...
