    Hi!

    Looking for a way to stick two fingers up to the Watchtower and do something useful?

    Well, ever considered giving blood? If you're eligible to do so I would encourage everyone here to go for it, the world needs more blood donors, it's always nice to help out and given our history I find there's something very enjoyable about it. :)

    I want to so badly. But I have extreme anxiety and phobia with needles...so every opportunity that has come up since I mentally left the organization, I have tried but chickened out last minute. Because of this stupid organization, I don't even know my blood type.

    I have donated blood regularly since leaving the Cult, I also vote in every Election.

    Just two things I can do now which were denied me before, it feels good to do both.

    I`m too old to donate blood apparently , so I have become an organ donor and they can have whatever is in good working order .

    I can`t vouch for my kidneys or my penis I`m afraid , or for that matter my brain , having succumbed to the teachings of the W.T. many years ago .

    But hey , who`s perfect.

    But at least somethings better than nothing ...right ?

    Years ago when I was still in the Jw's I signed an organ donor card, even my easy going husband raised his eyebrows. I told him it was my business and if I was prepared to accept a donor organ to save my life the least I could do was to reciprocate with mine if I die. Last weekend I signed up for a blood donor program and should hear from them soon as to when I can donate. Feels good.
