Thank you both. So far a ct scan revealed the inflamed muscle. Her white count is elevated and she has been running a low grade fever. My worst fear is that it is some kind of muscle infection that is not being caught due to the slow turning wheels of hospital protocol. Through three births and a ru...

Greetings my friends, I write this from the bedside of my wife in the hospital. She has been hospitalized due to an unknown affliction. Since this past Saturday she has had what she describes as pain beyond labor pains in her left shoulder. Testing reveals her pectoral muscle as being inflamed, but ...

Hi Paidion, I am aware of the traditions that had built up over a relatively short time in the early churches. I am not at all convinced that it takes more than 20 years for a concept to become a hallowed tradition. I can say this emphatically because of studying the antecedents of various denomina...

Thanks Morbo for your answers. Paidion, this is more than a can of worms to open, but I am not sure that what we do today, which is a derivation from the Catholic practice, ever existed in the first century.

The basic question is invalid. Your definition of viability precluses the application as you describe it. Do you believe placing a child for adoption is immoral if the child is still an infant? I must be a bit thick. I don't know what the word "precluses" means. I will assume you meant "precludes"-...

This seems so common. Have they been convinced to join the cult out of charisma instead of a search for truth? :lol: I have to laugh because the idea of any "charismatic" leader in the button-down corporate JC Penney model denomination known as "Jehovhah's Witnesses" is next to impossible. Oh sure,...

Hi, Thanks for responding. I believe you are stretching the definition of "viability" to counter my argument. I stated no such broad philosophical definition. I am referring to one child and one mother. A baby is not viable until they can care for themselves to some degree. Of course, if a person b...
