Hello Cofty, I had no idea, I send warmest regards Modern day treatments are fantastic I had three friends so far who are doing great now!!
You'll be really tired so don't try to do too much (wearing yourself out) getting every thing done before treatment. Things have a way of taking care of themselves.
Are you on a special food diet? A vegetarian diet for now is the best. NO meat (cept fish) or processed meats hotdogs etc. I go for mamograms every once in a while and a nurse told me they tell patients not to eat meat, they noticed tumors decrease. You can even look on line to see if there are things to eat and not to eat during this period. But as I remember one friend in particular was on a strick vegge diet.
Make sure you have lots of movies to watch. If you don't have netflex or cable there are many free things to watch on Youtube.
My best Dear One....sending you good vibes

Those on JWN still serving as elders...What if?
by Kensho inapostates undercover elders (i know there are some professed elders on here) have you ever handled a jc envoling a publisher viewing sites like jwn or others and who question the gb etc.. and if not what if you were assigned a jc involving apostacy?.
i would think this would be almost, if not an impossible situation.. kensho.

the WTS wants RankNFile to stay stupid and un informed. If you stay stupid (no higher ed) you will not learn to use your critical thinking skills and if you stay un informed about past WTS dealings you won't find out they are twisting the scriptures as well as hypocrites.
You can totally see it's a control thing. Any JW young one is eventually going to leave home, even if he didn't get an education, correct? So a parent has to trust they did good by teaching their child well in the faith. When a young one leaves home and what ever jobs he gets, he constantly has the world around him and tempation. So what's the difference? If a JW young one goes to higher education, a parent has to trust they did a good thing by training their child. And if one doesn't have parents in the faith, their bible study conductor and congregation would trust they did a good job in teaching their bible student.
Didn't the great Mo (Moses) go to Egypt to get edumacated? As I re call?
And the way things have always been, even if you get a lower paying job, you still have to put in long hours in order to pay your rent!! Much less put food on ones table. Yup stay dirt po and live off welfare.
Ha.....just thought of something. Maybe it's a breeding scam. Teach RNF to stay stupid and breed little armies of JWs.....
EITHER WAY IT'S A SCAM....
Girl20 you have to feed and put a roof over your head. They are not going to...

Disfellowshipped Over Celebrating Holidays?
by garbonzo ini found this:.
worldly celebrations such as christmas - ks91-e p.95 (it appears celebrating birthdays is not a reason to be disfellowshipped.
ks91-e is the pay attention to yourselves elder's book, right?

I do believe I read a post where a faded JW couple had Christmas decorations on their house, someone snitched them off and ened up in an elders meeting only to get DF'd.
The elders will reason you're still a JW (since you didn't DA yourself) and will stumble an outsider, and or you do not believe the WTS is Gods orginization anymore. You can also be labeled an apostate for celebrating pagan holidays.
You can't say you have doubts (that you kept to yourself) because you've already stated a position contrary to the WTS. They will expect you to repent or get DF'd.....that is of course if you get caught. I'm pretty sure of this.

Hi Girl20, try to remain calm. If you don't, it may cause you to get soooooooooooooo pissed off, you'll only be viewed as rebellious and get DF'd, which was is what happened to me.
If you've already made a firm choice to go to college, then that's that. If the elders approach you about anything, don't challenge or try to reason with them, you'll only get yourself in more trouble!. Just say ok, I understand and take your medicine. As I mentioned, your attitude and mindset can get you in trouble if you don't check it at the KH door.
You're not DF's, so some may still associate with you and others may not.
EDIT: Billy gave some awesome advice. Tell others why you are marked so they don't think it's due to gross sin or something and get all snobby with you!
EDIT: WHAT?! Good standing? The Williams sistas both date WORDLY guys! Rapper Common is one naughty boy, some of his lyrics to his songs are really sexually graphic. They just haven't been offically busted or outted.
I'm sorry......this sucks!!

Did Church fathers and Jesus see the Bible as metaphor?
by leavingwt indoes anyone here believe that jesus viewed genesis as being a metaphor?
if they believed it to be a historical account about real people, what are the implications?
as a jw, i wasn't allowed to publicly entertain such questions.

That's a good question.
From what I'm finding, who really knows exactly what original books Jesus read from or for that matter Paul. There's many books not yet found. There's also many other books that were incorporated in past bibles which church fathers did not add to the reformed cannon. These books did not fit with thier agenda of appeasing the masses. Some sects believed the Father and Son were seprate, but as you can see FatherNSon are One made it into our current bible cannon, which majority ruled by vote.
