Hitler had a thing for the JW’s too, although he might have been mistaking them for the Jews. They got sent off to the camps too.
We had a JW member on Blitz a few years back.
The blood transfusion thing…isn’t that the Seventh Dayers, or is it the Christian Scientists too?
I remember my late uncle disliked the SDA’s. He was an RC missionary in PNG in the 40s-60s and said the mainstream Christian religions would do the big job of converting the natives from animism and then the SDA would try to reconvert them to only buy Sanitarium products.
No presents or celebrating Birthdays/Xmas as well.
Interesting fact - Michael Jackson’s mother was converted by a doorknocker, and she was the reason he was a JW. God knows how many people he in turn proselytised (though as far as I know he never went on record about it much). That’s a pretty good ROI for that one doorknock.
He got booted out for the “Thriller” music video and begged them to let him back in, which they did after he agreed to put the disclaimer that appears at the start of the video.
There’s a difference between being “responsible for treatment “ and actually getting priority treatment.
Current listed players get absolute priority- ex players make do with some club support, and a bunch of referrals to outside services.
I really doubt that. All this would be covered via insurances etc,… but I agree that I probably wouldn’t have let on if it were me, JIC.
He also may have ultimately concluded after healing, that being 30, … and having suffered through all the pain & drama of recovering from such a serious injury, … and having already achieved the ultimate prize, … and the chance of more and more severe injuries occurring with an older body, that it just wasn’t worth risking.
I made that decision after I did my knee at 23. Initially I couldn’t wait to get back to having a run, but in the end, playing footy just became not worth it after not being able to work or surf etc for 10 months. I chucked it in and travelled North every Winter to work in warmth, and surf and fish etc.
Never understood why most people can not appreciate champions at clubs other than their own. He’s the best defender of the modern era IMO. Good luck to him.
I’ve heard Richmond still think he may pull a Hodgey and come back and play. Probably explains the lack of a proper press conference and how all his teammates haven’t paid any tributes on social media besides Naish who took it down straight away.
Hmmm not what I’m hearing. Something has happened to cause him to be disliked by teammates, which may have lead to his retirement, maybe not as squeaky clean as he is presented by media.
Jack unfollowed him on Instagram in fact, not that it should be a story but I imagine had it been an Essendon player unfollowing Joe Daniher I bet my last dollar Parrot, Ralphy or Poop Mclure would’ve been tweeting about it…
