there's an interesting medicolegal issue arising out of tx, a pregnant women who suffered a pulmonary embolism in november and died (when she was 14 weeks pregnant).. however, the body has been kept on life-support all this time (against her and her husband's wishes), due to an ambiguous tx state law (tex hs.
code ann.
166.049) which actually blocks the ability of the patient and family to decide:.
Your statement infers that the fetus's viability factors into this in some manner.
It seems that the law was open to interpretation - since November 28 the hospital has been complying with what they thought the law said. Maybe I am a bit cynical, but is it not possible that the judge was influenced in his decision by the knowledge that the fetus was not just inviable, but damaged?

He did not say the statute didn't apply because she was deadn AND the fetus was not viable.
He didn't have to.

A sane conclusion.
But it is still disturbing to think that, if the fetus had been considered "viable," this nightmare might still be going on.

Even so, at this point it seems like even the poorest people are better off than they were years ago when things were less unbalanced.
It always amazes me when I see the cleaners in my office walking around talking on their $60 a month $2-300 smart phones.
I don't recall when things were less unbalanced than now.
BTW, it is nearly mandatory to have a cell phone now - it is how people communicate. Some people get jobs and business through their cell phones. My son works a FT job and gets calls to repair computers on the side. Working multiple jobs is how some people make ends meet.

In this country, there is a commonly used saying - after hearing of some entirely crazy, wild, too-unbelievable-to-be-true situation, event, or act... "That is so Texas!"
For sheer crazy, Texas has only one close contender - your move, Florida.
i"m normally the kind of guy that likes to count his blessings.

and a super wife who loves me despite myself.
Your real question is - "How do I deal with the resentment I feel toward my parents?"
Some find it helpful to write it all down in a letter to the offending party (even if that party is no longer alive). Explain to your parent's how their belief system was imposed upon you and has materially affected your life in a negative way, that you were denied the educational opportunities that they themselves enjoyed. Include the things that you personally would have done differently had you not been hamstrung by the WTS. And try to say a few words about how you forgive them - they were misled also.
This will help with the resentment part of your dilemma.
so while i was out hiking with the dogs today i got to thinking about this forum and was wondering how many of you still feel guilty from time to time for leaving?
i do, i miss my family at times but then i think about the life that i have created and i have a good one, i have good friends and i am happy, happier then i ever was as a jw.
i was just wondering if others feel the same way sometimes..
JMNTD,
Guilt is a WTS tool that they wield in so many ways. You are a sensitive, caring person and that is just the typle of individual that they prey upon most effectively. Against all common wisdom, this is the one time to put yourself first - kind of like the airline advice to put your breathing device on before you try to help anyone else.
well after the international bible student founder charles russell came to me in a dream a few days ago and gave his opinion on the current state of the watchtower society, his views evidently found their way to his successor, joseph franklin rutherford a.k.a the judge.
not to be outdone by his predecessor, he decided to invade my dreamland last night.. .
i was enjoying a view of mt.
Bravo!
he sold his bicycle.
malachi, an elder who lives in burundi, earned his living by farming and by transporting loads on his bicycle.
in order to support their kingdom hall construction project, malachi decided to be at the construction site every day.
Malachi sounds like an irresponsible moron.
we decided we don't cook enough and are pretty bored of what we usually eat (whether home-made or eating out).. so .... our new years resolution for 2014 is to try a new recipe every week.. so far we've done some jamie olivers roasted vegetables and right now we're making cornish-like pasties.
apparently, people are very militant about exactly what a cornish pastie is so our's are cornish-like because dammit, we wanted peas and carrots and whatever seasoning we wanted to stick in there too!.
smells delicious and can't wait to eat them.. i also invented a new dish using a leftover half-tin of garden peas and a slice of bread.
garden peas and a slice of bread. I call it a pea sandwich.
You'll be wanting to get that patented.
