What is a Blessing?

by Suspicious in

being a born in, this question got me thinking.

what really is a blessing?

i read so much and hear so much about it in the kingdom halls.

Pete that story could apply to any "Jesus freak" so to speak no matter what their religion

Take for example Room 203 and 205 in a hospital, both patients more or less on the brink of death and friends and relatives praying, if the guy in Room 203 pulls thru everyone would say thank you Lord Jesus, but the guy in Room 205 who had folks praying for him as well dies, why didn't the Lord bless their relative by pulling him thru the illness. Guess that's why I can honestly say I haven't said a prayer in not years but decades.

Planting seeds of thought with my JW doctor

by Faithful Witness in

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.

Not really Bible Student, what Dr. actually checks thru all the magazines in there waiting room? Although it was mentioned that her husband acts as the receptionist, I guess he would tell her, but a Dr.s got lot's of things on their minds, why would she make it a point to tell her JDub patients what's been written on the magazines in the waiting area.

The more I think about this women being a Dr. and a Dub, I wonder how she skirted over the blood issue while she was in medical school, that is if she really is a Dub. All that's needed to find out her Dub standing is to ask her how she feels about prescribing blood for her patients and watch her facial reactions and listen to see if she doesn't give a definitive answer. If she can't answer directly and firmly it's time to find a new family physician and perhaps report her to the board if she doesn't believe in administering blood.

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

by Tech49 in

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?

ShirleyW

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

jw
friends

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..

ShirleyW

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?

by minimus in

jw
friends

just curious..

ShirleyW

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 ".
