One day dad tried to kill us all
by TimeBandit inthat's right, my dad tried to kill everyone in our house back in 1980. after the attempt was unsuccessful he pretended it was a boneheaded accident.
one day while we were living in houston we were all told to go take a nap in our bedrooms.
the next thing i remember was waking up and being told to go outside and sit in the yard.

OK thank you lots of great thoughts! Just woke up will respond soon It makes me feel like it's a degree.... I have another work friend I just realized is an ex JW but not like me. He doesn't feel it's pain like I do more of just a part of his past. He was a convert in late teens got out 15 years later and not a lot of shunning was given to him. He would sound more like the Mormon I work with tword JW's.

Had a short, cuz I cut it off, conversation about Mormons today. She claims to be one. Before I knew she was my big mouth called it a cult. She said it's not and said "do I look like a cult follower?" She doesn't being 100% honest, been ummm drunk with her. I asked if they shun those that leave. She said no almost the opposite. They try to help back any that are "leaving". Then we talked about excommunication and she said only the "real bad sinners" get that. So was thinking maybe they arn't a cult? I think the big thing with JW's is that all you have to do is piss off three elders and you are out! Baptism is a bit different also. She isn't baptized but claims to do one, hasen't gone to "church" in years. Her family and friends don't treat her any different then when she was going? She said it has no "control" of her life, but her sister is also one and is 23 with three kids..... I don't know?

High Court allows transfusion for Jehovah's Witness despite husband's objection
by TJ Curioso inthe high court has ordered that a member of the jehovah's witnesses in need of urgent surgical treatment can receive certain blood transfusion products despite objections from her husband on religious grounds.. .
the 27-year-old woman was admitted to a dublin hospital yesterday suffering from acute abdominal pain and later collapsed, the court was told.. she had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy and had lost a significant amount of blood, which was replaced with recycled blood from the woman using a system known as "cell salvage".. the court was told she is now sedated and unable to express her wishes and will continue in that state until a certain procedure is carried out to prevent serious infection, but which could involve further bleeding and the need for a transfusion.. that must be done tomorrow morning, the court heard.. a dispute had arisen between her husband and the hospital over her wishes, the court was told.. eileen barrington sc, for the hospital, said the woman had told doctors, when first admitted to hospital, that she was refusing a transfusion of whole blood or red blood cells but would accept platelets or plasma.. her emotional husband told the court yesterday his wife had signed a document used by jehovah's witnesses, known as the advanced care directive, declaring she would never accept platelets or plasma even if her life was in danger.. he believed, because his wife was in such terrible pain, it was really hard for her to reason but it was one of their core beliefs not to accept primary blood components of red or white blood cells or plasma and platelets, although she would accept "minor fractions" of blood.. he knew his wife of eight years well and she had filled in three advanced care directives over a number of years stating this, the most recent being august 2012, he said.. "at a time when she cannot make up her mind, that is what it [the directive] is there for.".
ms barrington said the hospital was contending that the wishes expressed by the woman to doctors yesterday evening over-rode the wishes expressed in the directive.. the hospital wanted an order permitting it make the appropriate transfusion for the procedure referred to because, without that option, doctors had said there was a risk of death or serious lifelong disability.. as part of her treatment when first admitted to hospital, abdominal "packs" were inserted which put pressure on the blood vessels to prevent bleeding, counsel said.. those packs must be removed within 36 hours and there was a risk of further bleeding in this procedure.. granting an order allowing the hospital administer non-red blood transfusions, mr justice roderick murphy said it seemed to him, from evidence given to the court by treating doctors, the woman had the capacity the amend the advanced care directive when she told doctors yesterday that she would accept plasma or platelets.. he granted the hospital the order sought.. .

This just makes me sad to think the husband is all upset about the cult blood view! He should only be thinking what can be done to make his wife healthy again!
