  Planting seeds of thought with my JW doctor

  by Faithful Witness in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have hesitated to post anything about my recent encounters with our jw doctor, because i don't really want anyone to insult her or me, for continuing to rely on her for medical care.

  our family doctor is a jehovah's witness.

  we were referred to her by our former bs conductor.

  I wonder what she does when one of her patients, or better yet an anemic patient would greatly benefit from a few pints of blood. Does she pass the patient on to another Dr. or does Sister Doctor actually prescribe blood when needed. That's something that her patients need to take into consideration if they know her JW standing.

  OK, so if my mom dated someone but never lived together and her boyfriend acted in the wrong manner towards me, obviously something is wrong. I didn't know that Allen and Mia (supposedly) never spent a night in Mia's apt.

  Also I know that Andre, Woody and Mia never lived in the same household, that would've been hinted at or major headlines if they did.

  Tech49 has the CO over for lunch

  so awhile back, during our last circuit overseer visit, vic and i decided to bite the bullet.... there seemed to be very little support for the mid-week lunch plans for the co and his wife, so we signed up to host.

  we definitely didnt want it to be awkward, so we invited a few others along, as a nice little group affair.

  they were excited, and offered to do the cooking, so i said i would play along.. just some background.... this particular co is kind of a tool (big surprise right?

  Congrats for having the self control not to kick that pompous tool out on his ass. He came into your home and sat at your table and acted like an asswipe. If he hasn't already, he will run into somebody who will set him straight when he pulls that pompous routine at someone elses home.

  Although she was officially adopted by Previn and Mia, if she lived in the household when Woody and Mia were together and your mother's husband comes on to you, adopted or biological, something is DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THAT.

  So if this JW Dr. is old enough to have grandchildren, then it is permissable for JWs to persue a college education?

  I believe you mentioned that she knows your JW status, just saying, if she were my Dr. I would ask her the above question just to see how she squirms and gets around it.

  JW uncle in hospital

  by finally awake in

  1. jw

  i just found out that my uncle, who is a staunch jw elder, has an aortic aneurism and is in critical condition.

  he's in his late 70s and he probably won't survive.

  he lives several hundred miles away, so i don't see myself making the trip for his funeral..

  Finally - Sorry to hear about your uncle, but I see that your JW elder uncle is refusing blood, just wondering if he mentioned he could received "blood fractions" and wondering if the Dr.s told him that fractions at this point is just a "spit in the bucket" (of course I'm sure he received a more medicinal explanation) and that really can't help him at this point.

  If You Got a Call or Visit From The Elders How Would You Deal With Them?

  Well, let me see, what would I say to the elders if they came a' knockin on my door?

  I think the convo would be the same as the time some sisters decided to visit my mother in the hospital and of course they had to report to the elders that she was receiving blood during their visit. Besides being "of her flesh" I was appointed her legal guardian, so the decision was mine. ANYWAY Bro Pious called me and I told him a most colorful way to mind his F** ing business and so many other kinds words I felt the urge to share with him.

  Also left a msg for him later on that evening when I knew he would be at the meeting, still wasn't thru making my point with him. However I guess all was forgiven, he and his wife were most gracious at her memorial service, considering how others here say there were treated like a forgotten stephchild at funerals, so I guess "he heard what I was saying ".

  Like what Mum saw when the guy opened his wallet and he was loaded, there's a guy that looks homeless that just walks thru the subway cars with his hand out and just moans "please ladies and gentleman", he been at for a few decades. I saw him one day on the street and he had a thick wad of bills, took out a few and put it back in his pocket.

  I see you're more or less in the proximity as I am Simon.

  Used to be familiar with a few in Floral Park Cong but that was decades ago, but for all I know they could still be there.
