JW comparison
by Phil ini am looking for information that i once read and cannot relocate.
the subject is the kind of religious institutions that exist today.

Medical care
by Phil ina few years ago my daughter, living in the patterson complex, was operated on her left shoulder.
the operation was done by a "renowned specialist" of this type of operation.. she was visiting about a year after the operation and at that time her left shoulder was about 2 inches lower than her right shoulder and part of her arm and left hand had little feeling.
i just found out that she needs another operation.
