Religion can be a pretty big deal but at the moment this is barely a relationship. After all the fact that you are not a jew may be a deal breaker for her.

Doctor acquitted in post-surgery death of Jehovah's Witness
by TJ Curioso indoctor acquitted in post-surgery death of jehovah's witness by kim da-ye.
the supreme court upheld a lower courts decision thursday that a doctor who performed surgery on a jehovahs witness patient without a blood transfusion at her request is not responsible for her death.. .
a 57-year-old doctor, surnamed lee, was charged with occupational negligence leading to the death of his patient who died from complications caused by excessive bleeding during and after hip replacement surgery.. .

The doctor tried to help her but she had restricted the treatments available and died as a consequence. He was not to blame if he had rejected her she would have tried somewhere else and the outcome may have been the same.
My mum had a similar operation without blood and was extremely anaemic after 8 hours on the operating table. This is not a simple procedure for the staff involved. If witnesses accept the risks prior to the operation then they cannot complain afterwards.

It is no wonder that things have caught up with you, the issues you have had to deal with are extremely distressing any one of which could have brought you to your knees. The fact that you carried on so long was remarkable. You need to allow yourself time to recover mentally and physically for your daughter, your mum and dad and ultimately your son.
This is the time to focus on you and your health and well being. Take the time you need you can call any time if you need to.
You have done so well and will do so again, there are people who care about you, whatever negative stuff is said about you in your struggles you are an important person to us.

No privacy they are constantly in company of other mormons. The constant pressence of the elder listening in and his clinging missionary partner (friend) does not show the religion in a good light. You have seen a happy healthy young man deteriorate through this process. If I was his mum watching this programme I would have serious concerns.

Josh looks mentally distressed. Their living conditions are as basic as they come. I also was surprised to hear that the missionairies are unpaid but expected to contribute £600 to the mission.
I am sure the maths for the accommodation, starvatioin rations (£29 per person per week to include food and haircuts) means the church is making a profit.
So the church pays £3016 to feed the missionaries but receives £6000 from each missionary that equates to £2984 profit per person on a mission.

99.9% Of a People Who Believe In Evolution Don't Understand It.
by Space Madness ini never believed in evolution as i thought it didn't make sense and that what was proposed was simply impossible.
how could an environment alter an organism's dna?
as we can see however, bacteria cannot become resistance to antibiotics.

I always take issue when a non believer in something seeks to instruct believers in what they believe or how they understand something. If you are reading textbooks then you will be aware of the need to cite sources to back statements. Therefore where is the scientific research that demonstates how most believers in evolution inderstand the process.
Otherwise it is merely your opinion.

an xwitness friend was saying she and her husband feel very bad for having brought up their children as witnesses and they feel they want to make amends but are unable to do so.

There was no reassurance that my son would not be judged adversely for not attending the meetings. Nor any idea that I could work for the salvation of my son. Other witnesses have suggested I attended a different hall or get someone to look after him whilst I went to meetings. This does not address the underlying issue. Why should this religion be exclusively for the fit and healthy? What is the problem with inclusion and tolerance? It is a selfish faith with everyone for themselves rather than a faith that cherishes everyone and seeks to make their faith accessible. It seems to me the message of damn the sick is at odds with the general view of the gospel message.
The bottom line is there is nothing wrong with my son, but plenty wrong with the religion. I thank my son for helping me to see the actual harm the doctrines cause to those who are most vulnerable. It helped me to take the decision to examine my faith more deeply and see that it not only harmed my children but offered nothing of spiritual value to anyone. My time is better spent with my son and daughter than being indoctrinated into publishing company.

Emotions not really sure what they are. I enjoy bringing the picture out of the paper and building the detail. I love that people enjoy my work and get pleasure from it. When you put artwork you have created out there you are being judged on your skill and ability and the competitive side of me likes it when other people admire the pictures. It makes me happy to be good at something and to be accomplished. This is what I do when I am not wife and mother and is for me.
As a witness you are taught that anything you do that brings attention to yourself is wrong and is boasting. At art college I was discouraged from illustration since it is highly competitive and few make it. It is my act of rebellion to do what I enjoy and see if I can make it as an artist to be appreciated for what I can do rather than overlooked. I appreciate that it is a little rambling but like many things it's complicated.
