  Thanks, QB, for your response!

  Followers of two Christian religions - Jehovah's Witnesses and Christian Scientists - plus a few other non-affiliated churches in different parts of the United States - may be willing to undergo some forms of treatment, but restrict or deny other forms based on their religious beliefs. Each offers clear guidelines for making that determination.

  Adults may rely on their church affiliation and its tenets to refuse treatment for themselves if they choose. However, they have less legal standing when it comes to making those choices for their children. Several court cases regarding children with different diseases and medical needs have addressed the legality of refusing treatment based on religious reasons, with varying outcomes.

  Jayne Halliburton turned 18 one month ago, just prior to her most recent hospitalization. She has been in and out of Shady Grove Hospital for most of her adolescence because of a uterus problem that causes considerable bleeding. Jayne is a member of the Christian Science faith. Christian Scientists reject the view that diseases are ‘real' and they turn to prayer in order to remedy errors of thought and belief that lead to the appearance of ‘disease.' The doctors in the hospital know Jayne well because of her prior hospitalizations, and at this point again they believe that she requires surgery.

  Jayne's mother has objected to the treatment her daughter has received in the past. But the hospital petitioned the court to transfuse Jayne against her will. The courts have always agreed that physicians may carry out life-saving treatment on a minor.

  As a matter of law, however, Jayne is now an adult. When approached about a transfusion this time, she says that she does not want to go against her religion. Her mother, who is almost always in the hospital room with Jayne, agrees. They both understand that Jayne might die if she does not receive treatment, but the mother insists that it would be better to die than to violate Scripture.

  One morning, a physician talks to Jayne while her mother is out of the room. He asks Jayne if it's really her desire to decline treatment. In her answer, Jayne seems a little hesitant and says maybe she could accept it. The doctor says he will check with her a little later. When he does, Jayne's mother is present again, and Jayne says that she does not want treatment, "no matter what." Her mother nods in agreement.

  Beards....Do What Your Told! The WT Owns You, You Disobedient, Spiritually Immature, Publisher!

  was talking to an elder about beards.

  he said that at bethel, only black and hispanic brothers can have mustaches (any actual facts supporting this decision?).

  he mentioned that we don't want to stumble anyone so that they won't hear our message.

  Barbara's writing is one the very best examples of good grammar and correct punctuation on JWN. In addition, her development of material is logical and coherent; thus, it's easy to follow what she has to say.

  (I was a proofreader in a nearby cubicle . . .)

  Thank you, Barb!

  Truth is great and will prevail if left to herself; that she is the proper and sufficient
  antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict unless by human
  interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate;
  errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict
  them.

  AWAKE

  it is a bad time to be awake -.

  i see things i do not wish to see.. i have feelings i do not wish to feel.. if i could return to sleep, the deception.

  of sweet slumber would assure that even a. nightmare might offer an escape, escape from.

  I went to bed in tears, afraid and shaking.
  The shadow on the wall -- my own -- was
  
  Bigger than me, looming large, menacing
  and declaring in a booming yet muted

  Whisper that I had better shake in my boots
  (before removed and placed under my chair)

  If I knew what was good for me and really
  did fear fear itself and all He purposed to do.

  I quivered and sweated the miserable night
  away, under covers offering scant shelter from

  Myself, my greatest and most formidable enemy.

  I accepted a fleeting but restless sleep
  that foisted itself upon me one lonely,
  silent night not so long ago . . .

  Opened up to me was a world of love
  and light I had not known yet would welcome to cheer a broken soul.

  As wakefulness nudged my reluctant
  self, I struggled against my return
  to the land of Awake and Woe.

  Succeed I did and stayed betwixt a
  night and a day of a twilight that
  promised what life had denied.
