Razorblade What you are experiencing has to do with your IMMUNE system, NOT your Rh blood group except for maybe being unable to produce antibodies to foreign blood groups or a hyperreaction to foreign blood groups.

Are YOU: rh negative ?
by RAYZORBLADE ini have always found the topic of blood/hematology, fascinating, and even moreso, the discussions regarding: rh compatibility.. are you rh negative?
if so, do you know your alpha designation: o, a, b, or ab ?.
even if someone is not interested, nor willing to take a blood transfusion, if you are a woman, and you are rh negative, and your husband/partner is rh positive, you can bet your bottom dollar, it'll matter in the near future.

Du is a "weak" expression of the Rh D gene. You are still D positive but weakly express it with regard to typing sera. Rh designation is like this- you are RH pos (D+) or rh neg-lack the D positive gene. Normally you inherit "groups" of Rh genes together. Normally,when you inherit D expressions (+ or=) you also inherit expressions of C,E,c,e as a "group" because they are closely related. Rh neg's are MOSTLY Rh D=,c+,e+. As you can see you can be pos. for c or e. Rh D= doesn't mean that you are pos. for the Neg gene, it means that you LACK expression for of D gene. Rh+ can and do inherit c+,c-,E+,E-,C+,c-,e-,e+. I am A pos,c-,E-,C+,e+. There are over 500 groups of blood,(some having as few as 2 types within their group, or many more in their group), ALL of which are capable of producing devastating problems in the people who inherit them. I used to be a med tech and worked in blood banks a long time ago and am somewhat rusty, now.

UN sends reply to my inquiry about WTS NGO association- proof at last!
by joe_from_kokomo indear friends:.
it's been a while since i posted last, even though i probably still suffer with a newbie status, i did some dandy postings a few months back.
my wife and i are now approaching the 1 year anniversary of our split with the wtbts, and are quite happy with our decision.. one thing we did last year was to write to the u.n directly (i think i got the address from a posting here on this site) and asked specific and direct questions about the wts's involvement and knowledge of ngo requirements.

I think it's a great letter. You may want to include a snippet about how the WTBTS teached that the UN was the "Wild Beast" of Revelation in there somewhere, with a quote from one of the WT publications, so that they may get a more accurate understanding of what the WT-UN issue is all about.Seeing what the WTBTS REALLY thinks about the UN may also goad them to take the actions that we have requested.

I would gladly join any letter or email writing campaign . Have also posted a link to this page at all of the forums that I go to so others can view and see for themselves. As I post this there have been close to 900 viewings. So all who come to see and read don't post. I'll bet that there are many JW lurkers who have viewed and DOWNLOADED the letter and envelope for their own use. Joe thank you so much for doing this. You have no idea how many people you may help escape the WTBTS by doing this.

We're beating the WatchTower !
by Simon in... in web traffic at least .
our current ranking: 26,434. their ranking: 26,911 .
what's interesting is that if you view the figures for both, the wts site gets a lot of visits from people (big name) who then view very few pages.

Jesus Himself said that there were many abodes. He told the Apostles:"My Father has many abodes and I go to prepare a place for you". Since we don't really know what a post Armageddon universe will "look" like there may be more than one heaven. There may be more than one now. Scientists say that our universe has at least 10 dimensions, the four we know about and others that can only be mathematically deduced at this time. Apparently physicists have observed some strange "occurances" in their experiments that demonstrate the existence of other dimensions. Non-locality of subatomic particles is something that they say takes place under certain conditions. This could only happen if the universe is more than 4 dimensional.

Have you gained weight since leaving the Borg?

I think everyone does. If you're not going door to door anymore and have not increased physical activity in other areas you tend to gain weight. Depression also makes some people eat- comfort food.

Abaddon I was replying to a post that someone made in reference to the overpopulation belief many have. It was a response to her/his post. You are correct-it didn't have any more to do with abortion than the original post she/he made but I felt that it needed to be addressed.

I am not hostile or angry. You are the one who stated that the earth is overcrowded and overpopulated. I simply got the facts and posted them to show you that you are wrong. Most population control advocates want to control or restrict OTHER people's PRO reproduction choices so that "the world" will look and be like what their idea of the world should be.In the interest of humanity and the earth, I think that population control advocates should volunteer to be the first to relieve the earth of the overburden by not having any children .If they truly believe that the earth is in such peril and that mankind is destroying the earth then they should be the first to sacrifice themselves for the cause and leave other people alone so that they can decide if they want 2 or 5 or 10 kids. It's the principle of the thing, you know.

Our earth is relatively "empty". Since most people choose to live in highly densely populated cities they tend to think that everywhere else is packed with people too. Not true. The following was taken from UN statistics on the web. I tried to copy and paste the maps showing MOST of the land masses on earth are empty but they wouldn't copy. You can see the maps by referencing population density of the world on Google.................. Population Density Facts The tiny country of Monaco has the world's highest population density. With an area of 3/4 of a square mile and a total population of 32,000, Monaco has a density of almost 43,000 people/mi2. However, since Monaco and other microstates have very high densities due to their extremely small size, Bangladesh is often considered the most densely populated country, with approximately 2,200 people/mi2. Mongolia is the world's least densely populated country with only 4.3 people/mi2. Australia is a close second with 6.4 people/mi2. About 90% of the earth's people live on 10% of the land. Additionally, about 90% of the people live north of the equator. Population density of the continents: ? North America - 32 people/mi2 ? South America - 73 people/mi2 ? Europe - 134 people/mi2 ? Asia - 203 people/mi2 ? Africa - 65 people/mi2 ? Australia and Oceania - 9 people/mi2 The population density of the United States is approximately 76 people/mi2. World 31=avg # people per sq. mile 6,157,400,560=# people in world 196,939,757= # of habitable sq. miles land area about 16 times the size of the US................... Now 31 people for every square mile of habitable land is NOT packed with people. But if you insist that the earth is overpopulated and populations must be reduced then you may want to help out by opting out and leaving the rest of us to divide your space between us.
