Are you talking about JW’s?! It must be businesses. It certainly isn’t house to house! Unless we were invited to come that early.
They do in the South in the summer.

Only interested in damage to yourself...not interested that you slandered a whole brotherhood of 8.5 million JW's by spreading that story? Would you like that done to you?
Name the town...how is that going to cause you any more trauma?
Cheraw and Summerville, SC.
Are you not requesting the person's attention? You should be or why else would you visit them?“Solicitation is a request for something, usually money. If you buy a fancy new house, expect a phone call from the local charity with a solicitation for a donation.
Solicitation comes from solicit, which means "to request," or "to entreat." So solicitation is the act of requesting. There are three kinds of solicitation. One is asking for money, like when someone goes door-to-door trying to collect money for a cause. In law, solicitation means encouraging someone to commit a crime. Solicitation can also mean making a plea to someone with power to grant a request or favor, like your solicitation to the traffic judge to dismiss your ticket.”

This doesn’t apply. We ask for nothing.
He disclosed this to you, did he? I would rather he tell us himself. That way if I send my brothers on a wild goose chase, then I will know that his story is either a complete fabrication, a case of mistaken identity, or the result of a mental aberration.
Oh, the irony!I was actually doing what you were doing...responding to your response to that poster's ridiculous story as if it must be true.......seriously these stories are manufactured garbage. People will eat them up if it gives them some kind of satisfaction to spread this rubbish.
What?
What purpose did the Prophets serve?
They were the conscience of their communities not fortunetellers and Palestine was crawling with them. They had schools for prophets from the time of Samuel.

Yes. Sometimes complications arise from blood transfusions. Has anyone really claimed otherwise?There was a portion of the video that showed a cytoscan of an anemic patient, post saline infusion, with the red cells that remained in the bloodstream being delivered to the tissues..... and then a scan, post blood transfusion.....what were the results? The red cells were stopped from reaching the tissues due to sludging and the inability of the red cells to be delivered to where they were needed. Did you miss that bit?
Not alarming, just reexamining. That's normal for medical procedures.Actually right at the beginning, the warning about the "morbidity and mortality" associated with whole blood transfusion is quite alarming. Watch and listen closely to the clinicians.....the matter of adjusting their attitude towards the efficacy of blood transfusion was "urgent".
Ahh, Deej, you're my fellow human, you have the right to hold your beliefs and not have them infringed upon.Thank you. We appreciate that blood is sacred to God and not intended to be shared between one human and another..
To be fair, the screening process was terrible in the 80s compared to today.. Blood is as unique as a fingerprint.....and you have no idea what is lurking in another person's body being transferred to yours. The AIDS epidemic of the 80's was spread among hemophiliacs through contaminated blood.
I don't know if that's true. I essentially grew up in hospitals, never really seen that before. Though generally a patient's medical history is usually relevant anyway. So it wouldn't surprise me.Do you know that hospital admission forms ask if you have "ever" had a blood transfusion? Do you know why? Sometimes the problem caused is slow moving and it can be years before it takes effect, and is therefore not associated with the transfusion. Blood is a unique substance.
Deej, buddy, we live in Australia, not America. They don't get big money here, comparatively speaking. Granted they try and lobby for it, but for all it's faults, Medicare more or less keeps the boffins honest.Doctors who now spread the message about the benefits of not having blood based medicine, have seen first hand the patients using non blood patient management, doing better than their transfused counterparts.....why else would they introduce whole hospitals dedicated to non-blood medicine? We have already seen that it saves them money....not that it makes them money....big difference.
I hate waste.Yes, thanks for not wasting our literature! That’s thoughtful! But then, you’re just that kinda guy, aintcha .

... which you're doing. You're trying to make the person into a convert; with that comes a lifetime of tithing. You're just as much trying to collect money as someone selling gym memberships or enrolling people for credit cards.Solicitation comes from solicit, which means "to request," or "to entreat." So solicitation is the act of requesting. There are three kinds of solicitation. One is asking for money, like when someone goes door-to-door trying to collect money for a cause.
Proselytizing is solicitation. You're engaging in sales. That you have a wonky commission structure doesn't change this.

Besides, sometimes people just do silly things.
the most I got from it was, anemic patient had a bad reaction.
Yes they were not fortunetellers, and politically they were advisors. What formed the conscience of the prophet?
About what?The courts have ruled in their favor.

They were observant and warned the people often when they didn't keep the law.. Most prophecy was written after the fact... and some of it failed utterly.. like prophecies about Tyre and Egypt and the Euphrates river.
