I don't know how to copy it, but I did a word search on 'medical' & found reference to a medical fund & a second reference to deciding whether to go to a doctor when sick. Tho they are just promises on paper, they are written statements we never had.

I'm not comforted by the fact that sick members must check/counsel with the Home Teamwork & get permission to go to a doctor when they already want to. In 'serious cases with grave medical issues' it's even more bizarre. The entire Home must pray & get PROPHECIES of guidance about whether the sick person should go to the doctor or not, & the sick person then theoretically gets to 'interpret' any vague prophecies

Meaning I guess, that if everyone leans toward, 'Don't go' but the sick person really wants to go & there's wiggle room & loopholes, they can (maybe) still get to go. Yeah, in the final analysis it's up to the individual's faith, but if everyone has prophesied that you should have faith, imagine the pressure.
