Don't allow the hospital to sneakily get a court order without your knowledge. Demand from the beginning that you as a parent be included in the proceeding and use the Hospital Liason Committee recommend alternative treatments to the judge.

Also *DO NOT mention your hope for the resurrection for your child as it may make you "appear unreasonable." ( yes, it does )

Theocratic warfare yet again.

If you were a judge, would you believe testimony from the Hospital Liason Committe or medical doctors, specifically the ones treating the patient?

I would hope that hospitals would be aware of this and know to get a court order immediately upon the discussion with the parents that they are refusing blood. Emergency court orders happen at all times of day or night.

I talked to the surgeon who was performing bloodless surgery for my father and asked him about children. He told me that he was confident that he could do the surgery successfully on my father, but pointed at my nephew who was a toddler and said he would get a court order for him "like that" and snapped his fingers.

I would like to invite everyone to send me their email addresses so I can then formally request the equivalent of €3,000 from each of you.

Wait, what? No, you don't want to do that? Whatever shall I do? How will I support myself?

You are all abusive! I won't let you comment on my threads anymore!

If you say anything negative about this request, I will get Legal Advice and take Action!

You all just hate me cause you ain't me!

A typical Wednesday evening Drunk story

wait, you don't go drinking on wednesday nights?

you don't get drunk and drive?

neither do i.. but, one of my neighbors does!.

Court is Wednesday the 16th of March.

None of our family have been subpoenaed to testify, but we will attend for moral support.

The lady came to the neighbor's house to apologize for hitting his cars and she brought flowers! Can you believe that?

He told her thanks, but he didn't want to talk. He'd see her in court.

And, yes, Wings, the kid had a great time in Pittsburgh. He visited some kind of thrift shop and came home with a long wool coat. He thought he'd upgrade his image.

I told him it probably came from some old JW who died and they donated all of his stuff. It screamed "elder field service coat!"

lloyd evans has a livestream and must answer all questions.

the only catch.

you can only ask one question plus a follow up.. my fave so far is would you want your daughter to marry a man who was unfaithful every few months with prostitutes.. what would you ask him?.

Regarding that song, it was also in the purple songbook before the brown one, though I don't know the number. If I remember correctly, it had a somewhat soft cover, not the stiff board of the brown songbook. It was also thinner, though it was roughly the same dimensions. It was called Singing and Accompanying Yourselves with Music in your Hearts. This was the first one I remember in the '70s. I believe the brown one appeared in the '80s.

Maybe it doesn't really matter that some organizational memories are lost.

It's certainly not the same religion anymore and it makes you wonder whether your memories are even relevant for the younger folks who are questioning things right now.

Pat Robertson makes one last ''doomsday prediction''

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

pat roberston,92, comes out of his million dollar mansion ( which his loyal followers paid for ) to continue his doomsday prediction.

pat needs to make one last appearance to show his followers he was right all along.

after all his failed predictions on his ''700 club,'' pat needs to show his followers that this ''doomsday prediction'' is a bible prophecy.

Probably, along with his Miracle Wheaties.

Also, what a lovely lavender sweater.

"That's not the Jehovah I know..."

by under the radar in

sometime in late 2014 or early 2015, a video of tony morris giving a talk about giving one's all was released by the borg.

he was belittling those who had one excuse or another for doing less than (he thought) they should.

he mocked those who relied on the thought that "jehovah knows my circumstances and he doesn't think any less of me" or some such.

GrreatTeacher

Yes. If something doesn't comport with their rosy view of their precious religion, they file it under "That Never Happened."

Perfect example of managing cognitive dissonance.

That's called hypocrisy and is a far cry from "nobody's perfect."
