All you have to do is pay some (phony) penance and a variation of the following:
Day 1 in Hospital - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
HLC to jW Patient: Did you take blood today?
jw Patient to HLC: Yes, but I had a horrible accident
and lost 70 percent of my volume
and besides, I'm sorry.
HLC to jW Patient: Well, okay.
Day 2 in Hospital - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
HLC to jW Patient: Brother, we understand you took blood again
today. 3 pints, we were told.
We may have to recommend disfellowshipping.
jw Patient to HLC: Oh, well, my sutures ruptured and I lost a lot
of blood and they had to do something quick,
and besides, I'm STILL sorry.
HLC to jW Patient: Well, as long as you are repentant.
jw Patient to HLC: Oh, you can be assured I am.
My family is all in the truth and I don't want
them to believe I am un-theokratic.
Day 3 in Hospital - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
HLC to jW Patient: What's going on? We heard you took blood again!
jw Patient to HLC: Yeah, but it was just one more pint.
They needed to top me off and I am well now...
and I just want to say that it was just
ONE more moment of weakness and I'm just as
sorry today as I was three days ago.
HLC to jW Patient: Okay. See you at the Kingdom Hall.
Maybe at the upcoming Circuit Assembly,
we can use your experience to show the brothers
a sterling example of true repentance.
jw Patient to HLC: You betcha!
