Frankly as I will be in that same waiting room a few hours from now, I do not want to hear any horror stories. I was warned that the surgery may be cancelled if they run out of beds. Hospitals do not work on a first-come-first served basis but rather triage. I am diabetic as well and I was told my sugar would be tested regularly through the day. We shall see.

2NHS cancelled ops - what excuses have people been given ?
by jhine insorry that this thread is off track , but i am curious about reasons given to people about operations being cancelled .
we had the experience recently of my husband getting to the waiting room at 7.30 am , being told that he was on the afternoon list and then sat on a hard chair in the waiting and told to well ,wait .
he is diabetic but that did not factor into the decision to leave him until the afternoon with no food , which we found strange .

There are a few members of the board who have expressed this peculiar kind of grief. Some of the kids have exited, some have not. I don't have any great wisdom to impart, other than parents, forgive yourselves. And patience. Lots of patience.

by skeeter1 injehovah's witness elder denies cover-up at church over 'massaging half-naked schoolgirls'jun 20, 2014 12:53by ciaran jonesdevoted churchgoer mark sewell rejected suggestions his seniority in the barry congregation meant allegations of child abuse would be "swept under the carpet".
mark sewella former jehovah's witness elder today denied massaging half-naked schoolgirls because he knew his church would "cover up" the allegations due to his position.. devoted churchgoer mark sewell rejected suggestions his seniority in the barry congregation meant allegations of child abuse would be "swept under the carpet".. the businessman, 53, denies 10 historic sex charges against girls and women in a period spanning more than eight years.. during cross-examination by prosecutor sarah waters it was put to the defendant that he "took the risk" of massaging topless schoolgirls because he believed his standing in the church would spare him from allegations of wrongdoing.. ms waters said: "what i'm suggesting, mr sewell, is that it was a cover-up and no-one was allowed to talk about it.".
greying sewell, wearing a navy suit over white shirt and patterned blue and yellow tie, told merthyr crown court: "not at all, no.".

He doesn't recall ever being a bully. Funny that. I hope there is enough evidence to convict.

What is the Watchtower's(R) Objective with the APATHY TROLLEY(CART)?
by punkofnice ini wefer to my pwevious fred http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/280829/2/i-saw-a-trolley-cart-to-you-cousins-in-the-u-s-a.
if the wbt$ is losing money and drones then why so much apathy surrounding the trolley/cart?.
why are they not being more pro-active with this 'urgent, never to be repeated work(tm)?'.

I figure the trolleys are a response to my criticism since I first joined the board that the door to door work is outdated. Nobody is at home any more.

Pretty Sad
by piztjw init really is pretty sad that the gb and their "fair-haired-boys" cannot get their stories straight even from one day to the next.. friday, while touting the greatness of jw.org the rc speaker bragged about the web site being translated into over 400 languages.
on saturday splane bragged about it being translated in 369 languages.
while that is close to 400 it surely isn't over 400.. then yesterday one of the speakers said, "the mormon church is investing on internet web site outreach.

Fundies did not always dominate the headlines. This modern bunch are a product of the industrial revolution. Their position was always untenable. All the better to inflame fanatics.

A Christian should have a good long think about what hill they want to die on. If they claim, "All hills are equally important", they risk killing their faith on a weak position.
Another example where chess helped me.

I would want to ask if dinosaurs proved to exist, would they be forced to give up their belief in God?
