    Hmm lets see:

    let your children die over blood transfusions

    kidnap children from their parent(s) when they become disfellowshipped or apostate

    commit parental and adoptive fraud to keep children away from unbelieving parents

    hide child abuse from authorities

    mothers must die with their babies in case of ectopic pregnancy over getting a d&c

    Those are all instructions I know people have received from elders, CO and branch offices, whether direct or implied. Those things alone are unnatural and heinous, many of them are crimes with long punishments because they are not related to free choices like adults can make.

    "Instructions that aren't sound from a human standpoint" sounds suspiciously like "god works in mysterious ways."

    I was most concerned about my elderly PIMI mom. She was quite elderly, and if these bozos instructed the r & f to sell all their possessions, homes, etc. and give all the cash to the WT headquarters, she would have done it. Thankfully, she is now gone. I miss her, though. The last JW in my immediate family. There are a few here and there, but I really don’t see them. So, my family is normal again.

    They probably had something in mind when they wrote it over 10 years ago. But with all the changes it's probably not part of their strategy now.

    How do you square the two statements below? How can you trust the direction "when it appears sound or not from a human standpoint" when the very same organisation advises it can "be wrong with doctrine and policy"?

    After hearing and reading that statement, it was time to cut ties!

    Of course, Jesus did not tell us that his faithful slave would produce perfect spiritual food.

    Wow, talk about saying the quiet part out loud.

    "Hey, guys, Jesus said he would use the faithful and discreet slave to provide necessary spiritual guidance at the right time. But he never said that they would get it right. So, if we have let you down, remember... IT'S JESUS'S FAULT."

    Gaslighting

    Physiological manipulation of a person or group over a extended period of time that causes the victim to question their own thoughts and perception of reality, to lead to confusion and a dependency on the perpetrator.

    A act or practice of grossly misleading someone especially for ones own advantage.

    It's happens in every walk of life, religion, politics end even among members of your own family and friends.
