when i was young there was endless speculation about "the persecution".
i have very clear memories as a child sitting in the old kingdom hall in coatbridge hearing it talked about from the platform.
it was a frequent topic at home.. sometimes there was lurid detail about what sort of torture "they" might use against us to make us betray others.
Hi cofty:

Great replies to my paranoia!

first of all, thank you all for your patience while i made a few tweaks to the site.. i ended up actually going down a bit of a rabbit hole of updating one thing which required another thing be updated first and so on ... before i knew it i'd updated the framework platform and most of the sub-components used and then got carried away trying to do some optimizations as well.
all worthwhile though and a little overdue.. anyway, i broke a few thing along the way but i also fixed a few things too ... erm, unfortunately they didn't always quite match up so there are still a few things outstanding that i need to fix and am working on.. but, i'm hoping that dispite the short-term pain the site should now load and run just a little bit faster for you.
well, that's the intention - i'd be interested to hear how you find it.

we are growing older and have developed illnesses we never imagined would touch us.
if you (or a family member or acquaintance) have been diagnosed with heart disease .
1) what was your reaction to the diagnosis?
Wonderful to see all your replies . . . Just got in from a slowly but methodically accomplished housecleaning job. Not too many years ago it would've been a breeze. Took me all day. Wouldn't you know -- it's my cardiologist's house, and we had a long and very reassuring talk about my condition. All these years I was told I had asthma. Respond to your appreciated repiles later . . . CC du coeur auusi

Sorry for your ordeal, Nathan. I agree with our need to heal and get off mechanics and meds, if at all possible. Thanks for this: "You have to participate in your healing by being your own best medical advocate." CC

How well all of us here know, cantleave.
Apart from this issue of permitting/denying blood treatment, the rights of patients in refusing medical treatment and tests in general is a vast subject. Below is information that is helpful to me as I deal with health matters:
As a matter of ethics and the law, adults who understand the consequences of their choices may decline any and all medical tests and treatments, even life-saving treatments. In part, this consensus emerged as a reaction against paternalistic medicine, in which physicians made the final decisions about treatment for patients. As a matter of respecting the importance of choice, contemporary medical ethics counsels against imposed tests and treatments. Adult patient are usually better situated than healthcare professionals - who may not know them well at all - to understand what medical tests and treatments mean in their lives. For similar reasons, the law treats unwanted treatment as battery, a kind of wrongful touching. http://www.uic.edu/depts/mcam/ethics/refusal.htm
