[Lee]:
Yes, and "Christian Science" people also prefer to not go to medical
professionals.  You're right, Geoff, in that these two systems (Jehovah's
Witnesses and Christian Scientists) are not really considered Christians as
they tend away from true New Testament teaching.

[Lee]:
Indeed! my husband, who worked at AT&T Bell Laboratories for almost 40
years, is a Christian as well as a metallurgist with a degree in physics who
also did some crystallography and X-Ray diffraction stuff intermingled with
time as a systems administrator for various UNIX computers and designed hard
and software for controlling experiments with emphasis on solder bump strain
experiments.  I would say all this qualifies him as a logical, reasonable,
scientific mind, yet he's been a Christian for almost as long as I've been
alive!  (He's almost 22 years my senior and we both left AT&T just after it
became Lucent in 1996.)

I can say it was a privilege to work in an environment surrounded by
brilliant minds and, in fact, many Christians!
