latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

Just to say The World Health Organization site states that the virus does not last long enough on outside surfaces etc for receiving parcels/buying goods etc sent from China to be any kind of a risk.

Diogen .....

I bet if you ask the "experts" at the WHO to open a shipping container from Wuhan, My han, Your han or Someone elses han to physically unload the contents, they would have a much different attitude.

My golden retriever would be a better president than Trump.

I bet you leave your golden retriever's coat its natural color, probably not dyed orange with some weird looking thing glued to its head.

I think I'm getting the picture.

Just in the event I get gay impulses in the future, I don't want to be, as you put it, the "wrong" type of gay. I will use protection and not put any sand in the Vaseline.

Thanks.

What Makes. Person A Pedophile?

it seems the news always has another report of a pedo stalking children or hurting them.

i know this has gone on forever but i read another report of an illegal alien with a history of abuse taking advantage of another poor child.. i just don’t understand why some people do this.

is there an actual brain abnormality?

StephaneL ...

When you mention prevention, I don't think there will be many people who voluntarily hold up their hands and say, "I'm planning on being a pedophile" or "I'm planning on being a murderer."

My "prevention" comment dealt with people who have already committed an act.

I think it is very difficult to try to read minds regarding what a person might do in the future, thinks about doing or fantasizes about some act.

We need to work on prevention, accepting them for who they are.

StephaneL ....

I agree that prevention is the best method.

You could simply take the pedophiles out in the woods, tie the hands and feet behind a tree and rub a thick layer of honey all over the genitals.

Come back a couple of days later after the ants and other animals have had a feast. Bring a plastic bag to place anything leftover to give him as a souvenir.

That would reduce the amount of therapy. The only therapy needed would be teaching him how to sit when he pees.

I don't know what Hillary Clinton has to do with this.

You are the one who mentioned that Buttigieg is the "wrong" type of gay.

Since you are differentiating between different types of gays, you surely must have your own opinion on what is the "right" type of gay. Tell us!

I would like to comment on this, but this whole thing involving children sickens me and I really don't even know where to start.

Donating Blood a Disfellowshipping Offense?

by HiddenPimo in

when i served as an elder i never heard of this scenario presenting itself - giving blood.. has anyone heard of a judicial case where a person donated and was disfellowshipped?

are there any references to this in the jw publications, manuals, handbooks?.

not so hiddenpimo :-).

RubaDub

Fadeaway ...

I understand. You are correct.

I was just speaking from a practical standpoint. If you tell the elders you are donating whole blood for the purpose of transfusing it to someone it would typically be far different than if you explained you specified the blood to be fractioned into "allowable" fractions.

Just my thoughts but it would depend on the BOE and how you are viewed in the congregation.
