An elder, Chief MD in Honolulu clinic goes door to door. Testimony given at JW convention

by AndersonsInfo in

http://www.pressreader.com/usa/honolulu-star-advertiser/20150725/281848642300889/textview.

it sounds to me like he was a jw before he became a physician.

"kalauawa, who became a jw 31 years ago, said he had to overcome a major conflict between his religious and professional beliefs, because jws are opposed to blood transfusions.

Scully

When a physician orders a transfusion, it's usually nurses that administer it. Nurses insert the IV catheter, set up the transfusion per protocol, and monitor the patient's condition.

So what this MD does is "consult" with another physician and get them to write the order. It's a win-win situation for both physicians, because a consultation and a request for a consultation both involve a fee, either charged to the patient, the patient's insurance or the public purse in the case of individuals who are enrolled in government run subsidized medicine.

I have to wonder if he's got one or a couple of colleagues involved in this little extra side-business. He still would have to identify that the patient has a need for a transfusion, depending on the hospital's criteria for recommending a transfusion to a patient.

To DA or not to DA, that is the question?

by dubstepped in

let me preface this by saying that i don't expect anyone here to make my decision for me.

i do however note that like the bible says, in the multitude of counselors there is wisdom, and this is a huge decision, so i wanted to put it out there for discussion.

i really appreciate your words of wisdom, as this affects not just me but my wife also, as we find ourselves in the same boat.

Scully

The WTS's rule to write a Letter of Disassociation™ is like an unloaded gun being held on you, holding you and your wife hostage.

Writing such a letter is like giving them the ammunition to use that gun against you and your wife.

If you don't give them the ammunition they want and expect from you, they can't use it against you.

It's their rule. You don't have to play by their rules anymore. Live your life. Be happy. Be successful. Choose a new 'family'.

if so how did you combat it?

Scully

James Mixon: Before you do scopolamine, please see your doc first to rule out other problems. You can ask the doc if a scopolamine patch is appropriate in your case or if they would recommend something else.

Scully

Get this checked. I've suffered with it occasionally, almost always an inner ear thing, but you don't want to mess around with it, especially if you aren't able to function normally (walking, driving, going up and down stairs, etc.)

What worked for me was a scopolamine patch (placed behind one ear), available over the counter, recommended by my doctor after she examined me.

Beware the will use legal means against lies

by Listener in

i am posting a transcript a part of the talk given by anthony morris iii from jw broadcasting july 2015. i've posted much much more than necessary but i wanted to keep it in context.

the governing body has approved of my speaking of something that jesus himself spoke of on a number of occasions.

and i might say at the outset that this is by no means a pessimistic speech meant to discourage anyone.

Scully

While we may take advantage of legal means to set the record straight in harmony with Jesus words we do not engage in smear campaigns with rebuttals either verbally or in print.

So if that bit "in print" in the Watchtower a while back referring to "mentally-diseased apostates" doesn't qualify as a "smear campaign", I don't know what does.

@ RC: "For evolution to be true..."

by Scully in

according to a jw contact, one of the speakers at the regional conventiontm stated that "for evolution to be true, two of the same kind would have had to evolve at the same time; one would have to be male and the other would have to be female, and then they would have to find each other".

apparently the crowd had a good laugh over how evolutionists overlook such a simple "fact".. i mentioned that bacteria and viruses use asexual reproduction, and that many sea creatures / fish, etc.

are hermaphrodite and do not require a sexual partner to produce offspring.. oddly enough, the conversation stopped there.

Scully

mind blown!!

July Broadcast Denies That JW Children Die Rather Than Have Medical Care

by BluesBrother in

anthony morris 3rd delivered the broadcast this month and advised that lies are circulated that they let children die rather than have medical care .

he says this is so inaccurate as to be a boldfaced lie ...... further he says it is "up to the parents to determine what would be the best treatment for their children" .

now, does this mean that parents are really free to make a decision to accept blood for their minor child, if they so choose?

Scully

Hey there Vidiot,

We already know, via the Theocratic Warfare™ doctrine, that the WTS actively withholds facts from and misleads outsiders. What I was illustrating was that the WTS also deliberately lies to its own followers, and most of those followers believe that their beloved GB would never, ever lie to them.
