Colon Cancer Treatment
by ExpandedMind inyesterday i found out that my best friend has colon cancer.
they removed what they could of the tumor, during the colonoscopy, but my friend now needs to wait another 8 days until the inflamation goes down until an ultrasound can be done to see how much remains and also to check to see if the lymph nodes are enlarged.
she knows that she will need to have surgery to remove the section of intestine that has the cancer, but they don't yet know what "stage" it is at.

this past week, on fox, there was another documentary about mj.
after seeing some advertisements about the presentation that indicated that mjs mother would be on the program, i was interested in seeing what comments, if any, she would make about mj.

Tim LaHaye & 1914
by ExpandedMind ini am reading a book titled: end-time visions, the road to armageddon.
in it the author (richard abanes) mentions tim lahaye, who i believe is the author of the left behind series of books.
interestingly, the end-times book shows how lahaye also looked to 1914 as the beginning of the "last generation" and eventually changed this "date" to a later date.

The Karen Carpenter Story
by ExpandedMind indoes anyone know where i can purchase a copy of the tv movie "the karen carpenter story"?
i taped it when it first aired, and then lent it to a friend, who accidentally lost it.

Treatment of those DF'd or DA'd
by ExpandedMind indoes anyone on this board, understand how the wts justifies helping your df'd or da's parent or child if they need medical or financial help (in the case of an aging parent) as this would be "honoring your parent", but calling them to see how they are doing (when they are well) is somehow is wrong?
can you "articulate" it as if you were a jw trying to explain it to an outsider?
or would it be apparent that there is something wrong with their teaching?

Anyone Ever Reinstated After "Apostacy"?
by ExpandedMind ingood morning!
i was just wondering if anyone on this site has been reinstated as a jw after having been disfellowhipped or disassociated from the watchtower society for "apostasy"?
if so, would you mind telling us what it was like for you to go through the "process" of reinstatement after having "seen the light" <smile!> about the organization?

Hello to all of you...
by ExpandedMind ini've been visiting this website for months and decided it's time for me to say hello to all of you... so "hi!
i have been away from the wts for a while, but lately have felt a need to get in touch with others who have travelled the same path.
until relatively recently, i thought that all was "well" (relatively speaking) in the organization, but have found it facinating to read the comments of those who are still associated with the wts and how they are dealing with it.

by ExpandedMind in(i posted this as a "reply" to my original post --- which was probably the wrong thing to do!
--- but thought that if no one went back to read that post again, it would get buried, so i've copied it into this new post) .
i logged off shortly after making my post and when i returned i was so blown away by your welcome!
