I would take a guess that it could be some kind of aneurysm, particularly an aortic aneurysm repair or resection required LOTS of blood to keep the patient alive. They usually will bleed out unless it happens while they are already in the hospital.

The act of shunning is so high school. What really does it prove!
I believe in past years it was a discipline that was supposed to "awaken" or shock the "sinner" into changing their path and "repent".
More recently, I believe it is a tool of their "information control". I suspect if apostasy and doubt have not overtaken immorality as the #1 reason to be DF'd then it is damn close. Plus many who are DF'd for breaking the JW moral code will seek out "association" and stumble across apostate websites (like this one) where they usually soon learn TTATT. WT cannot have the R&F who are too lazy or too dumb or too apathetic to question and reason on things to get into discussions with those who have already done so.

I think they may have actually admitted that in the old "Blood Brochure" as it made the point that the refusal of blood is NOT for health reasons but religious/moral reasons. Thus, even if it may save your life temporarily, it could cost you your everlasting life.

Terry, you're a bit older than me, but even at my age I have to admit that I thought it would take a lot longer to get this old.

At one time jw's used to be able to have actual discussions with people, sadly they know so little about jw doctrine, the Bible and history they don't know what to believe until their Lords in NY tell them what to believe. ~ Carla
In years past, JW's may not have really studied the Bible, but at least they studied their doctrine in their literature and could make a good effort to defend it.
JW's today do know know JW doctrine. How could they possibly defend it (even if it was defensible).

I think every WalMart is 24/7, with self-checkout I don’t even think they have employees working at night, maybe 1 cashier?
Just ring everything in as Bananas @ 49¢ /lb. If they complain, tell them you had very poor training on the equipment.

Who said anything about removing elders arrangement?
Elders are the unpaid company men of WT. There is no one else to care for their paperwork, property maintenance & repair, and to bully anyone who looks like they are getting out of line.
