doctor acquitted in post-surgery death of jehovah's witness by kim da-ye.
the supreme court upheld a lower courts decision thursday that a doctor who performed surgery on a jehovahs witness patient without a blood transfusion at her request is not responsible for her death.. .
a 57-year-old doctor, surnamed lee, was charged with occupational negligence leading to the death of his patient who died from complications caused by excessive bleeding during and after hip replacement surgery.. .
It is premature to say the family charged the doctor with negligence. There is nothing in the article to suggest that.
Earnest, you may want to read the article again...
Quote from the article: " The prosecution argued that the accused committed negligence leading to death because he decided to operate on the deceased...".
been on this site 8 months now, but not on a daily basis.
recently discoverd a poster named processor, loved his tread on the life of jesus.
anyway the guys posts never seem to make long threads.
Let's not forget Farkel! His stories and wit were one of a kind!
was just wondering how many gay exjw's were on this site, and how did you deal with being in this organization?
and also, how did you end up leaving?.
Hello and welcome! My Partner and I are Gay too, and we just celebrated our 12th year together the other day. There is a good life to be had after the JW's. It may be rough for a while, but things always have a way of working out, even if it doesn't seem so at first.
All the best!

Ditto to what Skeeter said. I'm glad that he is going to be okay!
and died at home in panama city beach, florida.
steve imhof, a bethelite in the 1970s and former very active elder who became a very vocal wt critic starting in 2002, was 65 years old when he died.
he was father to three children and two grandchildren.
Skeeter, that was a BEAUTIFUL Eulogy!
RIP to Steve, and may his family find healing from their loss.
last weekend.
so unbelievably sad.
rip.
That is so sad. Another precious life destroyed by the bloodguilty cult known as Jehovah's Witnesses. May the young man rest in peace.
about me, i am being raised in a jw family.
all of my family expect for one aunt, who had left but not disfellowedshiped thankly, are in jw.
my father is an elder and so is my grandfather.
Hello Andysmiles! I am Gay too-(So is my Partner of almost 12 years-lol) and I just wanted to say hello!
I wish you the best in your journey as you find your way. ALWAYS keep your self esteem, and never let others bring you down. You deserve the best in life as much as anyone else!
today's high school students in the usa:.
less than 1/2 of them cannot identify the century when our civil war happened.. one in four thought columbus discovered america sometime after 1750.. one in three cannot name one right enumerated in the bill of rights.. three out of four cannot name the first us president.. two out of three do not know the length of term of a member of the house of representatives.. half cannot find britain on a map.. one out of four cannot find america on a map.. when my oldest daughter, who is now a physician was in 9th grade in this once-great state of california, i asked her about the three branches of our federal government.
she was clueless and told me she would take civics in her junior year in high school.
Schools today seem to be nothing more than a babysitting service. Teachers nowadays are most often forced to stick to a pre-approved, overly politically correct curriculum, and any deviation usually results in termination.
Yesterday's teachers challenged kids and got them to think, today's teachers are generally not allowed to use their own creativity to reach their students or make learning fun for them, leading to boredom and lack of interest. Striving for excellence means nothing in much of today's education system, they only care about teaching kids the absolute basics. The Government does not want schools to create inventive thinkers, they would rather create dull, mindless, easily controlled sheep who do as they are told.
Of course there are exceptions, but in general, especially in Public Schools, the above holds true. I feel sorry for the kids who really want to excell in today's world, it must be incredibly difficult for them.
Hats off to the Parents who decide to home school their kids!
so i recently learned that my ex-wife (who is still an active jaydub) forged my signature on govt.
documents in order to receive my share of small settlement i was going to get.
i haven't even seen her in about 6 years.
Yes, by all means you should get your money back, but you can also be the bigger person instead of being vindictive by reporting her to the Elders.
Even if you did decide to tell the Elders, your Ex would possibly feel persecuted and victimized in some twisted way (We all know how JW's love the thought of being persecuted), and you will just be made out to be the bad guy by the other JW's anyways because you are an evil, mentally diseased apostate-lol.
Good luck, and I hope you get your money back!
i notice she hasn't posted for about a month.
she was struggling quite a bit and feeling depressed.
has anyone heard from her or have contact info so you can check on her?.
Dagney, thank you for lettinng us know that she recently posted elsewhere. I'm glad she is okay!
