  I left the organization on my own years ago only because I do not agree with organized religion.

  honestly, I don't understand why you joined an "organized" religion if you don't "agree" with organized religion ? Or did an "unorganized" religion come calling and convince you that "organized" religion was nonsense after you were a JW ?

  "Biting The Helping Hand..."

  "the elders feel that she is basically biting the helping hand"

  the quote above is from a recent news article regarding child rape and jehovah's witnesses.

  i find it a stunning confirmation of exactly how abuse survivors are treated within the jehovahs witnesses community.

  JWs worship the organization, for it is their god above all goodness or decency ...---Amazing

  unfortunately, this seems to be the bottom line. For the first time in my life, I actually believe that I am more disgusted with my family for being JWs than they are with me for not being a JW.....

  Church spokesman Clive Thomas said that while the church has sympathy for her case, the lawsuit is misdirected.

  well clive, sweetie, doesn't sound much like she's a person who's dependent on your sympathy, and unfortunately for you, only the judge is able to decide if the lawsuit is misdirected....

  all the wt lawyers and wt men, couldn't put wt back together again.........

  what the hell....I edited grammar, ok ?

  one can't help but wonder how the Witnesses that really know Barb and Joe can just go silently along with the obvious injustice of their disfellowshippings.

  Shirley is really paying a price for ever giving this cult the time of day. so she's shunned by her own kids, for what, saying she didn't feel God's presence in the hall? while that pervert that molested children, whatever his name is, is in good standing in prison. perfect WTS logic.

  these stories make me sick to my stomach. In the Hobbs case, it's heartbreaking that three children will grow up without their mother, because of an idiotic doctrine fed to their parents by an idiotic organization. It appears by the husband's comments that he may have submitted to blood if it came down to his wife living or dying:

  "It was sometime after my arrival that I was asked ... about giving Daphne blood and I told him I would not go against her
  wishes or religious convictions," the affidavit says.

  "Nobody told me that even if blood had been given at that time, whether it would make a difference. I was simply told that it
  was unlikely she would survive."

  He will live with this the rest of his life. Negligence or no negligence, blood would have most likely saved her life.

  The Vancouver Sun

  February 3, 2001 Saturday FINAL EDITION

  HEADLINE: Patient who refused blood has right to sue: Court rules man can sue the hospital where his Jehovah's Witness
  wife died

  BYLINE: Neal Hall

  
  A Jehovah's Witness who signed a release form refusing any blood transfusions before she died during a routine operation
  did not sign away her right to sue for medical negligence, a B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled Friday.

  Daphne Hobbs underwent a hysterectomy at Chilliwack General Hospital on April 15, 1996. The operation was expected to
  take up to two hours and result in the loss of about 200 millilitres of blood.

  Instead, there was unexpected and substantial bleeding during the operation. The 36-year-old mother of three died at 1 a.m.the next day after losing all her circulating blood, about 4,000 ml. Her husband, Ernest Hobbs, filed a lawsuit in 1998, claiming
  negligence against the hospital and a number of doctors. A number of defendants were struck from the case, which is
  proceedings against Dr. John Robertson, the obstetrician who performed the operation, and Dr. A.A. Suleman, the anesthetist.
  Ernest Hobbs filed the lawsuit on behalf of his children Kaleb, 6, Travis, 10 and Jada, 12.

  A trial was set for last Dec. 4 but a legal issue that had to be sorted out first was whether the release form, specifying that
  Daphne Hobbs refused to accept blood or blood products for religious reasons, absolved the doctors of liability.

  Justice Allen Melvin, in a 21-page written judgment, decided it did not. "In my opinion, the form she signed does not ...
  amount to a voluntary assumption of risk of surgeons' negligence by Mrs. Hobbs," the judge concluded.

  "A contrary conclusion could result in patients (who do not sign releases) receiving a higher standard of care than those who
  do so."

  As a result of the decision, the matter will now proceed to trial or possibly an out-of-court settlement, said lawyer Lou Zivot,
  who is acting for Ernest Hobbs, 46.

  "With this hurdle out of the way, I would hope we could proceed to talking about settlement," Zivot said.

  "This is quite a novel point," he said of the legal issue.

  According to court documents, the doctors deny their care of the patient was negligent. Robertson's statement of defence says
  he "exercised reasonable care, skill and diligence."

  Robertson concluded the death "could have been prevented if this lady could have received blood and coagulation products."

  An affidavit filed by Ernest Hobbs states he was called to the hospital and was advised there had been some bleeding.

  "It was sometime after my arrival that I was asked ... about giving Daphne blood and I told him I would not go against her
  wishes or religious convictions," the affidavit says.

  "Nobody told me that even if blood had been given at that time, whether it would make a difference. I was simply told that it
  was unlikely she would survive."

  An affidavit by Dr. Mark Hobbs, a Montreal obstetrician and gynecologist retained by Hobbs's lawyer, said Robertson's
  operative report on the surgery was inadequate because "it does not detail all the events that must have occurred during this
  four-hour operation."

  Boyd, who noted he had treated numerous Jehovah's Witness patients, wrote that it appeared Daphne Hobbs had been given
  massive amounts of crystalloids that had "washed out" all the clotting factors in her blood so it could not coagulate.

  Boyd said Hobbs suffered a pelvic hemorrhage, which is hard to see during vaginal surgery. He suggested Robertson "should
  have opened the abdomen and controlled the bleeding" rather than continuing the operation vaginally.

  Robertson's operation report stated "the site of the bleeding could not be easily ascertained."

  Daphne Hobbs had sought the operation to solve a bleeding problem. She told her husband it was low risk. Previously, she
  had attended hospital for four medical procedures, including a cesarean section, and each time had signed a release form
  refusing to permit blood transfusions.

  The operation record shows the surgery commenced at 12:18 p.m. and finished at 4:35 p.m.

  Initially, there was one intravenous line connected to Hobbs but a second line was connected at 1:45, when she was given 10
  per cent dextran, a blood substitute.

  you can't change it to fit your personal lifestyle or modify it by only applying what intrest or benefits you.

  the wt organization has its place just like all the other secular laws have theres to protect & guide us.

  you:

  1) believe that Armageddon will come before you get old, or

  2) are young and can't comprehend getting old, or

  3) all of the above.

  get out while your life is ahead of you, instead of behind you............
