  Double Mastectomy and a punctured vein???

  by bluesapphire in

  a close friend of ours who is a jw recently found out she had to have a double mastectomy and removal of lymph nodes due to cancer.

  she and her husband do not have medical insurance because he was laid off a few years ago from his union job.

  he started his own business but work has been slow.... anyway, having a pre-existing condition, the only insurance he could get her was through kaiser.

  I am really sad for your friend. Kaiser has the most incompetent staff I've have encountered.

  Jan Awake, stating JW's are only true religion

  i haven't posted in a long time.

  most trying to recover and still get my head straight, this religion when you find it's not the 'truth' is hard to move on sometimes.

  my mom urgently needed to speak to me about a magazine that just came out.

  Do You Truly Believe A Certain Politician Or Political Party WILL Bring About Real Change?

  soooo many thought obama was the savior and now scores of people are abandoning him and his policies.

  the pendulum swings and you hear how we need a republican to bail us out of our mess.. do you really believe a single person or party can make the changes for the country or the world ?

  how do i make a long story short?

  i am fully aware that if anyone in my area were to read this that they will know who i am.

  i was disfellowshipped on january 28th 2010 after an "interview" about an evening of bowling with friends and family back in november 2009. i was among 4 who were disfellowshipped and 6 who were publicly reproved.

  This organization reminds me of the many stories I heard from friends who grew up in communist controlled countries. People were fearful of neighbors, friends and somtimes family. You didn't know who to trust. The differance I see between the JW organization and the Communist, is one says its god directed the other man. The communits killed discenters.The JWs kills with shunning, disfellowshipment, unscriptual divorces and other mind games. I am truly thankful to all the exJehovah web sites and this one becuase it has helped me to understand what the organization really represents, and it certainly does not represent God.

  Ding, you have an excellent idea. Find out who the witnesses are studying with and visit each person letting them know the real truth. Personally, I would have appreciated such a visit.

  My company would constanly rotate my work schedule from days, swings to midshift. I tried coffee to help me stay awake and it did. I love my morning starbucks. The best starbuus blend is the french, the breakfast and the house. If I cant get any of these,I ask for a americano. Add sweetner with half and half and you have an excellent drink.

  i'm hoping to get clarity on a few points, but please, don't think i'm too lazy to do my own research: i do not have a bible in my house.. or the koran.

  or the book of mormon.

  or a copy of hitchhikers guide to the galaxy (unfortunately ).

  My response to they don't go church....they go to the kingdom hall. Was an enquire of the orgin of the word kindom hall. It is not found in the scriptures but Church is. This is a repeat of my response/question. How does the JW organization explain Mathew 16:18. And I say to you: that you are Peter: and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Churches uses Luke 24:46-48 as our duty to be witnesses of Jesus and to proclaim his gospel worldwide.
