NOTIFY YOUR HOSPITAL & DOCTORS ABOUT JW SPYS

i am sending this letter via email to both my local hospital and to several doctors (different version) who have occasion to treat my immediate family.. i thought that i would post such on the db so that others here could also do the same.

however, i would ask that you do not completely duplicate the letter, in the event that the same hospital or same doctor receive this more than once, and discard it as a hoax.

please take the time to change some of the wording, and personalize it to your own circumstances.. i will post any received replies, and i ask that others please do the same.. *****************************************.

Hey thought I would jump in and just say one more thing I am so sick and tired of hearing people whine about the "cliques" & "powers that be" on this board. Are you all so very shallow and your self confidence is so low, you must point the finger instead of standing up like a man/woman and accepting that others just don't like your idea(s)?

Is it so hard to take critisim that you have to turn it around and place the blame?

I am just now reading this thread Mad, and honest I see no outside force stopping it. Where do you get that from? Actually Hawk offered help a few times. Please show me on this thread what you have claimed. I just don't see it, I see a little boy pouting and making unsubstantiated claims because a few did not share his idea. No wonder after so many reads not many commented.

Oops I forgot to mention. I am interested in reading the replies as well. I bet I can tell you what was said though.

Yadda Yadda, we are easing your mind by writing this, here are our policies concerning confidentiality. This Dr office/hospital takes breaching of confidentiality as very serious. Any employee found to be releasing information is terminated, and also their employment records are marked as to the reason they were terminated. Your peace of mind is so important to us, and we take the time to ensure our staff is educated concerning the legality of disclosing medical records as well. If we can be of further assistance, please fell free to write us back. We appreciate your business, keep coming back

Mad,
This thread did not die because someone put a stop to it. Paranoid much? The thread died because no one was interested in commenting.

BTW I am a nurse as well, and there is sooo much training we go through concerning confidentiality. We are even cautioned against just speaking of a certain illness, due to the fact that it may be the only one in the hospital, nursing home, Dr's office, etc. We are told not to converse about patients in the cafeteria, elevator, post office, etc. Anyone who does knows the consequences of losing their job. Anyone who does disclose the information is just plain silly.

I think that your idea is ridiculous. Not because I don't like you as a person, but because it is not a good argument. It is obvious that you are trying to sway a hiring decision based on religion and this is against our constitution.

Now have an actual breach in confidentiality, then you can get puffed up and write this letter. But writing what if's does nothing but make you look paranoid. And believe me the medical community has places for people like that

My Quick Thinking Brother

by Undecided in

jw
friends

i was at mcdonalds the other morning and i walked up to the counter beside my brother.

the girl was having trouble getting the cash register open and had called the manager over.. my brother's amount of purchase was $1.05.

the change was $.95.

mommy

LOL Ken
Come on tell the truth your brother was really hitting up McDees for a buck What I find so sad really is those who actually have no math skills at all working day in and day out with a cash register. There have been way to many times, I have handed back money to those who are too willing to give it away because of an error on their part. When I first started working back when I was 16, I never put the money in the register until after I had their change, that way there was no mistake what was given to me. Of course that solution is way to simple huh?

BTW great to see ya around, everytime I see your post it makes me nostalgic for North Carolina Of course I still have my pics, but still not the same thing. Have a great day

Were you atheist/agnostic BEFORE you came here?

by gumby in

jw
friends

something has puzzeled me for a long time since i came to this board.

first i would like to say i'm not judging any in what i'm about to say as we all are at different places in our lives and i respect that.. here it is: at what point in your life did you no longer believe in god or believe the bible?.

how many came to this conclution after coming to this db?.

mommy

Gumby,
I left the Jw's 9 years ago, and remained a very active christian during this time. This past year after speaking to many people I would never have spoken to in any of the circles I travel, my mind was opened to many new possibilities. I had two choices, either stay in my little world and not explore other options, or explore this new world and try to understand why others had the beliefs they had.

I am not happy with you saying that those who do not believe in god are throwing him out the window. I think that demeans the act of logical thinking and the research I have put into this. I no longer believe in god, not because it is an easier road, I actually think it is much harder to not have a "reward" at the end of the tunnel. I no longer believe in god because I refuse to accept the god of the bible for who he/she claims to be. After learning even more about the evolutionary process, the concept is no loner tangible to me, I never had a problem with the lifestyle.

One thing I have a problem with is people who refuse to be honest with themselves and admit that belief in god is not an obligation of the human race. And those that are closeminded enough to think that if you don't believe in god there is something morally wrong with you.

Pssstt, it is okay not to believe in god. It is okay to talk to others who do not share your beliefs and still remain on friendly terms with them, and to hold your own beliefs. I think the benefits of your family getting out of the org, and the friendships they may find here, are well worth you sharing this site with them. Also honestly ask yourself how much different it would be if they no longer believe in god. There may be some things you won't share anymore, such as prayer, and religious worship, but I doubt their actual personalities will change at all. Are you thinking that when a person realizes that the concept of god is not for them, then they are not worthy of your love? Perhaps you feel that moral character and the belief in god is intertwined?

experience???

hey all you out there.

all of us homosexuals, lesbian, gay, bisexual were getting bashed in the chat tonight.

what i was wondering?

mommy

Hey Steph,
I am bisexual I will not go into details, but it counted ummm a bunch of times...lol First time I kissed another girl I got busted by my sister, I was not even in school yet so I must have been young!

I think the most important thing to remember is that if another person is happy with their sexual orientation others have no right to get involved. When it comes down to the nitty gritty, no one can have an effect on our life unless we allow them to.

I want a family to celebrate Christmas with

by puppylove in

jw
friends

i want a "normal" family.

i want to go to my mom's home on christmas.

i want to fight with my husband about whose house we are going to this year - his mom's or mine.

mommy

(((((hugs))))) to all
This can be a very lonely time of year, I myself am having a very hard time getting in the christmas spirit. Usually I have my tree up and presents underneath it by now. I moved away from my "wordly" family who I usually spend holidays with, and I miss them. That along with some other things going on right now, I am actually forcing smiles for the kids, I can't ruin it for them. I know as it gets closer their enthusiam will be infectious.

I agree that the Christmas card exchange will help alot, to have a hold on others out there who are feeling the same way. We received 2 cards today and the kids were ecstatic! They have even asked when we are sending ours out...so beware for those who get one from us, I am sure the kids will have a part in it as well

Just keep your chins up! And if you act positive it usually carries over, until you are positive. I know that will be my trick this year.

I hate to even let this thread get any longer, it is obvious that Joe is...well nevermind. Just in here for a FYI, in the current application,(can be viewed on Kent's site)on the very first page, there is a place for a signature. It is a line for the person who completed the application and a place for the date. This is immediatly on top before the actual application is started.

is this free stuff?

i tried dialpad but it doesnt offer free trials nymore..anyone has ideas?

mommy

Gotcha
Someone called me once via internet, to my tele...it was okay, We were cut off a few times, and sound quality wasn't the best. Now if ya wanna hear voices, and not the ones with no explainable cause. Get on Yahoo, and voice chat. I have chatted with a few from the board, and it is great to put a voice with the written words.

"Mom, why would He do such a thing?"

by Esmeralda in

jw
friends

tonight, as my husband was driving our daughter home from ballet lessons, she spoke up quietly from her booster seat in the rear of the car..

"justin?".

"yes, leah?".

mommy

Essie,
This post reminds me of my childhood. To this day my mom reminds me of the "game" she used to play with us. "Who do I love more than anyone in the world? I love Jehovah most" Even more than us mommy? "Yes, I will always love Jehovah more" I won't even go into the stories she told us of the great tribulation and having to choose between us being killed before her eyes, or standing up for Jehovah. Just gives me warm fuzzies to know as a kid she even put those thoughts in our mind...sick, sick, sick.

At least your daughter has you and Justin to balance the wackiness of that religion
