  What is the current pulse in the organization with the reductions?

  by SouthCentral in

  2. friends

  i have not seen jehovah’s witnesses in my neighborhood for several years now.

  it appears that the cart witnessing has taken over.

  congregations are being consolidated and witnesses are being forced to travel a greater distance than before.the burdens/privileges of elders seem to be ever increasing!.

  I wonder if you'd get "reproved" ... and eventually "get a marking talk" if you made one of your OWN carts and sat by it?

  No rebellious, independent witnessing, right?

  Old Magazine, New Perspective

  going through old junk and came across a 22 year old study watchtower, february 1996. looking at all my underlining and marking it was just nauseating how meaningless it all was.

  this "study" wasn't study at all, just a by rote exercise, an old jw custom one of the primary motivations of which is to stop others from judging you as "weak" if they don't see it all desecrated, which must surely indicate a vigorous study session.

  moving on to other articles i was confronted with more evidence of a cult that i was blind to the first time around, including an article praising those who died for refusing blood such as a pregnant mother and a boy pictured here.. .

  Wow, you are so lucky! and even now, you have to remain very cautious.

  My husband and I were watching a show called Goliath on Amazon Prime about a very smart lawyer who tries to help people, who is always escaping with his life moment after moment. The last one we watched was about the cartel, And everything they are involved in. Sometimes they just knock off the witnesses to a crime, just because! Let's hope you are not dealing with the cartel or drugs or anyting exponential.

  So be VERY careful! OMG!

  How were God’s true worshipers to determine virginity of pagan girls?

  by Ireneus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in the genocidal instructions supposedly given by god we find this interesting command: “now kill all the boys.

  and kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.” (numbers 31:17, 18).

  in the midst of killing and plundering, how were the israelites to determine whether each girl “has slept with a man” or not?.

  After reading event after event, I am with Sparrow Down, 'don't tell an elder anything', your life will be less complicated and happier!

  Don't tell them you went to the police, don't tell them you got raped, don't tell them you are going to counselling. Just get the help and love you need.

  Many of us have learned the hard way.

  So sorry & hugs to you Amelia.

  When this woman said

  As he explained how ESAs worked he did mention that the treatment might benefit me in the days following my delivery, and affirmed that it was my right to decide whether I want the treatment or not. He wanted to discuss it with my obstetrician first. Should we get the green light, he would need to know my blood type. This made me very confused. “Why does it matter what my blood type is with EPO? Isn’t EPO a bloodless product?” He paused and said, “Yes, it is technically a bloodless product but they make it from whole blood and they prefer to use blood that matches the patients.”

  I didn’t know what to say or what to think. I realized that I knew nothing about blood, how it works and its components. Being a curious person, I had to find out.
  

  This peaked MY curiosity, and I had to look it up also... I couldn't just take "her" word... So far, after an hour of searching, I cannot find anything to say that 'matching blood type' is necessary.... Anyone in the medical field that knows? So far, it looks like it is a hormone, made from animal ovaries, and it can be synthesizeds. Blood types? check out below regarding blood type "o"

  One of the original and most successful biotech drugs, EPO is a complex protein with chains of sugars on its surface. Chinese hamster ovary cells, a type of mammalian cells often used in biotech manufacturing, are generally used to produce a humanlike version of EPO for pharmaceutical use. Like many other complex biotech drugs, EPO must be produced in mammalian cells because microbes like bacteria and yeast don’t have the cellular machinery to stick the critical sugar chains onto the protein.

  · What diseases or conditions does prescription erythropoietin treat or manage?

  Erythropoietin (EPO) definition and facts

  · Erythropoietin (EPO) is a hormone produced by the kidney.

  • Erythropoietin promotes the formation of red blood cells by the bone marrow.

  The kidney cells that make erythropoietin are sensitive to low oxygen levels in the blood that travels through the kidney. These cells make and release erythropoietin when the oxygen level is too low. A low oxygen level may indicate a diminished number of red blood cells (anemia), or hemoglobin molecules that carry oxygen through the body.

  http://www.healthcommunities.com/anemia/blood-transfusion.shtml

  Blood Transfusion

  Hospitals use blood supplied by blood banks (companies that collect, prepare, and store blood for medical and emergency uses). Blood banks type blood and test the compatibility of donor and recipient blood before transfusion (called cross-matching). Blood types are A, B, AB, and O. Whether the type is positive or negative depends on whether the Rh factor is present on the person's red blood cells.

  All types can receive O negative blood, but may not be compatible with other types:

  · Recipients with A+ blood type can receive A+, A-, O+ and O- blood types

  · Recipients with B+ blood type can receive B+, B-, O+ and O- blood types

  · Recipients with AB+ blood type can receive AB+, AB-, O+ and O- blood types

  · Recipients with O+ blood type can receive O+ and O- blood types

  · Recipients with A- blood type can receive A- and O- blood types

  · Recipients with B- blood type can receive B- and O- blood types

  · Recipients with AB- blood type can receive AB- and O- blood types

  · Recipients with O- blood type can receive O- blood type

  Other Treatment for Anemia

  Injectable EPO (e.g., PROCRIT, EPOGEN) is an alternative to blood transfusion to treat critically ill patients with anemia. Exogenous EPO is identical to the natural hormone in its role of stimulating the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. EPO has been used safely in many clinical settings, including chronic renal failure, oncology, and surgery. In the ICU, use of EPO has been shown to reduce the amount of blood transfused by almost 50%, at the same time significantly increasing hemoglobin levels.

  EPO

  Erythropoietin (EPO) is a hormone produced by the kidney which regulates the body’s production of red blood cells – the cells in our bloodstream that transport oxygen to all tissues and carbon dioxide back to the lungs. Under normal circumstances the body highly regulates the concentration of red blood cells and hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein carried by the red blood cells that actually binds oxygen and carbon dioxide and allows red blood cells to transport these gases in our bloodstream. If you donate blood, for example, you are “giving away” red blood cells and hemoglobin. Your kidneys, sensing this, make more EPO, which signals to your bone marrow to make more red blood cells and hemoglobin.
