Urgent response needed
by benext ina relative has been admitted to the hospital due to their blood count going from 7-4. the first hospital wanted to transfuse but a transfer was arranged to another who works with the society's hospital committee.
they have instructed which doctor to request and the elders are standing guard.
i'd like to find out how low can blood levels go and are there any other treatments outside of transfusion.

WT to "donators" take your money back, please
by benext ini had an interesting conversation this weekend with an elderly sister.
she told me about a letter she received from wt not more than a month ago.
it seems they had a program in place where they would "hold" money that would be used in the event of your death to pay funeral arrangements.

Should I or shouldn't I?
by benext inhello, benext here.
this evening i became aware that my name is on the lips of all the loving gossipers at my former place of worship.
