Wouldn't it be great if this article found its way into the hands of the attorney's in Canada dealing with this issue at the Supreme Court ...

9Japan Court - All JW kids under 15 to get blood..(old law was 12 yo)
by skeeter1 inchildren below 15 to get blood infusion even if parents object friday, february 29, 2008 at 06:49 est tokyo a joint panel of japan's five medical societies on thursday said that children under 15 who require blood transfusions should be given them, even if this means going against the wishes of their parents, such as jehovah's witnesses, who object to such treatment on account of their religious beliefs.
releasing guidelines on the issue in a press conference, the panel headed by fukushima medical university professor hitoshi oto said children under 15 should be socially protected, drawing a line at the age from which a person's competency to make a will is recognized under the commercial code.
"the guidelines will help facilitate the decision-making and choice of socially appropriate treatment by medical institutions," oto said.

Keep in mind this same guy soon after going to Brooklyn recommended during morming worship (circa 1994) that single male Bethel rommates pray together before bed.
Yeah ... right.
A few screws loose on that one.

At the time when we first leave we could barely explain it to ourselves never mind to a RV of any age. Make sure you don't beat yourself up over it. I am certain she loved the time you spent with her.
Enjoy and savour the good memories!

It is strange enough just to see familiar neighbourhoods on TV shows or movies but that must be strange to know the "set" and see it broadcast like that.
I was going to be a smart ass and comment about seeing a Raisin in the sun .. You know Nascar on a cloudless day ...

Freemasons...who are you?
by feenx ini saw in a different post there was a discussion about jw's being linked to freemasons.
one poster replied that they were a mason and they know for sure there's no link.
that got me to thinking...i've never had any contact with an actual mason.

Uzzah is it true your part of the trilateral commission New World Order Jedi mind cult that wants to steal my soul and sell it so you can over take Washington D.C. then the world so that you can have total control over every person on the planet all the while amassing gold, silver, copper, oil, sunlight, cars, trucks, mailboxes and everything else all to fulfill your evil plans?
Yes and my portion is the mailboxes. Especially the ones with the red flags ... ohhh I love those ones ... Just think of all the brass numbers I can collect... I really don't want the door slots tho but I am stuck with them. Hey maybe I'll create a new degree for the door mail slots . BUt mailboxes are mine .... They are mine ... all mine (maniac laughter ensues - think Dr. Evil)

Jaguar Bass. To refute the JWs or any other organization using the ilk of David Icke as an expert or reliable source is akin to asking me to refute Einstein.
Just for clarification, I am an idiot about Einstein's theories.

In order to be a Mason, you must be able to express belief in a creator. What that belief is or name you chose to use to describe such (Allah, Jehovah, Jesus, Purple spaghetti monster)doesn't matter. You also have to be a man of good reputation in the community. The overall creed of the Masons is to take good men and make them better.
The ritual and degrees contain lessons designed to do just that, emphasising devotion to family, to community, honesty and charity etc.
If one was to look at Masonry 100 years ago, it was a very influential body. Really if you wanted to be anyone or succeed in a community it was best to be a Mason. Today it is a shell of that. Now it is really a male social club that does good work. In Toronto and other large urban areas, interest and active participation is dying off.
Due to the Masonic path I have taken, I have 4 nights/month of obligatory meetings. Most Masons only commit to the one Lodge meeting per month. Now if work or family obligations interfere with attending those meetings it is understood and encouraged to take care of those interests first. Masonic obligations come in third after family and work. Financial obligations are next to nil. I pay $120 per year in membership fees. My support for any Lodge or regional activty is completely voluntary.
There are more 'christian belief' references as one progresses through the degrees (York and Scottish Rites) and references to Biblical stories but they are presented as stories not as source of dogma. I was a little uncomfortable about using the name Jehovah in one of the degrees but that is just a flashback to my time as a Witness. I've resisted and been uncomforatbale with that name ever since leaving the Borg.
This is just a brief over view but if you have specific questions PM me or continue this thread. Thanks for the questions.
