Sorry to hear about your mom Davegod.
Poor Eclipse. Did you never find it strange that your parents were cool with the tooth blood?

Blood - things the Society didn't ban?
by unique1 inok, crumpets post on the lid of life thread got me thinking.
when i was a kid and got a cut on my finger my mother would always tell me to suck it.
which meant i was sucking my own blood, which meant i was eating blood, which meant i was defiling god.

Unless they have changed in the past year or so they are against storing your own blood for later. They say the route method (where they route blood from one place in your body to another while in surgery through a tube) is a conscience matter though, I think. It wasn't a conscience matter when I was a kid. It has been a while since I paid attention to all the changes.

Ok, maybe I am the only one that found this odd, since it appears no one has anything to allow.

OK, Crumpets post on the Lid of Life thread got me thinking. When I was a kid and got a cut on my finger my mother would always tell me to suck it. Which meant I was sucking my own blood, which meant I was eating blood, which meant I was defiling God. Yet, she never thought of it that way. She NEVER would agree to have someone recycle her blood during a surgery or get one of those tubey things that takes the blood out for a minute or two before putting it back in but she would allow me to suck on my own blood.
I also had Jaw surgery and well I feel sure a lot of blood went down the ol throat then. Plus when you bite your tounge or lip no Witness grabs a towel immediately to catch all the blood so they don't "eat" it. WHen you lose a tooth as a child you swallow the blood.
Even as a child I always thought the double standard there was weird. But I was a good little witness and just went along with it. Any thoughts?

Wow, Sorry to hear that is the way it went down. I was so hoping for you guys that it would not be typical. Will your inlaws still speak to you if you disassociate?

Caught Wife Cheating
by roflcopter inso i posted a while back about my marriage problems.... whole new gambit thrown into the mix.
i've had suspicions all along that something like this might be happening... but only just not confirmed that she's been cheating on me... with another jw that she works with!
she could have been more discreet about it rather than leave all the text messages on her phone.

Regarding Psychic Phenomena.
by Blueblades inwith the recent tv.
show ghost hunters 7 hours long shown live and on the internet with web cams planted all over the place from east pennslyvania pentitentiary on friday evening from 8pm to 3am, there were many responses from all over the country about people seeing images, ghosts etc.
for those who watched it, was this real or is it a great hoax.. i read that when it comes with dealing with hard evidence of life after death it's been shown that there are three classes of people.. there are those that ridicule idea of anything beyond the grave.. then there are those who have already accepted the evidence of continued existence beyond physical death.. the third group is often thrown offtrack when trying to get at the truth by the folks in the metaphysical camp.. which group do you belong to and why?

I don't think that Psychic and Paranormal or Ghosts are the same thing.
I don't believe in Ghosts really but I do believe that people have extra sensory perception. Usually this is used on the living not the dead.
