Following on from this the JW is still critical. I read in todays paper that he was actually having a transfusion when the wife arrived at the hospital. She ordered them to stop immediately and the hospital were obliged to follow her orders.

JW Refuses to Let Husband have Life-saving Transfusion
by fjtoth injehovahs witness refuses to let husband have life-saving blood transfusionby lucy cockcroft last updated: 6:42 am bst 06/06/2008 the wife of a man who is critically ill in hospital has refused to let doctors give him a life-saving blood transfusion because he is a jehovahs witness.john edwards, 57, suffered severe injuries when a motorist suspected of drink-driving knocked him over and medics have warned he could only have days to live if he does not have the transfusion.. but his wife sheila said he has signed a form banning any blood transfusions in the event of an accident or illness, because their religion forbids it.. it is believed she is rejecting repeated pleas from doctors hoping to change her mind.. the couple's sons, jonathan, 36 and tom, 29, do not share their beliefs and it was unclear last night whether they supported their mother's decision.. a family source said: "sheila is adamant that john must not have blood.
she says giving him a transfusion would be like assaulting him, and he wouldn't want to live knowing he had disobeyed his god.. "she is in a terrible state, constantly in tears at his bedside, but won't give in to requests from anyone.
her sons are both with her but her position hasnt budged.".

That "slept" with kids part kills me! My kids "slept" with me. I will go to sleep in one of my twin daughter's bed while their little sister (She's eighteen.) sleeps in the other twin bed (literal twin bed). My oldest slept with me an my husband on and off until she was 9 years old--until the twins were born and kicked her out. My brothers slept shared beds and rooms. Hell there was 13 kids! I think White people and Black people think differently about the term "slept with kids"!??
You're talking about your sleeping with your own kids, bit of a difference.
I assume you would have other people's kids over on a sleepover with just you? which is what went on here.

Single? Do You Cook for Yourself?
by compound complex indear friends,.
as i cook away, preparing a hearty breakfast before the robust walkabout that awaits me, i recall an earlier conversation with a married friend whose wife prepares him beautiful meals.
if you're a single person, it's typical to throw something together hastily and eat it on the run.

What's a chippy? A fish and chips eatery?
Yes coco. Its a fish and chip shop, you'll find one just about everywhere over here. It's more of a take out, rather than an eatery. Usually a small shop, with a couple of deep fryers and a warmer to keep everything in.
I remember the time when they used to wrap the chips up in newspaper but Thatcher soon stopped that, Health and Safety whatever. Now they wrap them up in plane paper.
Just had mini fish and chips from Sam's Chippy actually

I enjoy cooking for myself at times, kind of theraputic and relaxing. But then there are other days when i'll just go down the chippy. Steak and kidney pie and chips special with curry sauce, only 2 pound 30p!

And I hope there are more where those came from.
I certainly don't. With all the allegations against him i wouldn't be listening anymore to his music. Ok he was found innocent in a court of law, but he still slept with kids and see's no problem in it. I don't think many would buy his music.

I was an in betweener. I was 13 my mom started studying. I had just found girls, had my first french kiss, played spin the bottle and had a go at a oiuja board. Then bam!! Just as i was getting started it all stopped.
I couldn't go out with my mates, only wholesome kids from the cong. I had to start skipping school assembly, the first time was frightening everyone wanted to know why i wasn't going in the school hall anymore. The only birthday cards i had were off my one nan, she always felt a bit sorry.
It's an awkward age anyway, your trying to fit in and growing up quick.
I found i also had to learn quickly about the 'truth', because you don't know what your meant to believe. So i did a lot of studying.
I also used to go coarse fishing with my mates along the canal, that had to stop as it was a 'blood sport'. I was in the army cadets, well as you can guess that went by the wayside.
Whenever someone asked if i was brought up in the truth, i never really knew how to answer it.

Do JC's happen over a period of time then?
I have been in front of one when i was young, but it was done and dusted in one afternoon. As i haven't been df'd i haven't really been involved in one since, thought they were all like my experience.
