This is why is so important to do one's homework finding hospitals and doctors that respect the JW stance and treat accordingly prior to facing an emergency.
The team of JWs that take care of finding hospitals and physicians which accommodate the bloodless belief do a great job in this regard here in the USA.
The money awarded is not nearly enough. I would've gone for millions.

the wt’s teaching that humans will live forever on a paradise earth will necessitate that given that there will be no more death, then immortal humans will have to be relocated to other planets in order to prevent the earth from becoming overpopulated.. so how many habitable, earth-like planets are there?more and more habitable, earth-like planets would have to become available on a continuous, never-ending basis ad infinitum as mankind’s population grows given that there will be no more death.. the longevity/sustainability of life on these planets will be limited by the fact that the sun serving these planets will eventually die:https://shar.es/1cko6n.

Maybe sex will be only for pleasure. That would be the best blessing ever !!! It is the most pleasurable experience there is once the pregnancy fear is out of the way. Speaking from experience only.😉

my mom and i were talking today about how next summer i will be 18 and she said that just thinking about it might make her cry.
that made me think about how much more it would hurt her if i quit being a jw.
i really do love my parents, i know they are just being cruelly manipulated by a cult and that they really think they are doing what is best for me.
You do not have to quit being a JW; just cool it slowly. Community, family and friends are very worth the tiny sacrifice (in my case, of course).
My hubby, family, and life-long friends are so very worth it. They are the nicest, most wonderful and fun people I could ever be surrounded by in this journey of life.

i sometimes was redirected to this page from reddit or another ex-jw site but never bothered to sign up.
i wanted to stay off the radar but since i'm getting dis-fellowshipped anyways and have no plans to come back what the hell.
been 22 years in the truth........... ahhhh i hate to use that expression...... bad habit but you know what i mean.
Hi!
Welcome to this nice venting venue. After reading your intro with the phrase "enjoying every vice", I now understand your smoking avatar.
Be careful of not becoming a self-fulfilling WTBTS prophesy, you know, the throwing out the baby with the bath water that so many do upon leaving the Org. So, many go on binges of such proportion that they get used as an example of what "NOT" to do.
Be happy and well.

crowd looking like they're doing the heil hitler salute to trump when he asks for a pledge and swear their support while calling for broadening torture laws.
trump asks backers to swear their support, vows to broaden torture laws.

Trump is about to be gone. The other wolves found his Achilles heel.
However, it would've been nice to have him as the GOP nominee; it would have ensured a future Democrat President.
Interesting times ahead!

hi, new here but have been lurking for a while.

Hi, and welcome to this forum.
I would respectfully ask my parents to show you first the video to see if you approve of your child viewing it. A lot of the videos are very good lessons about how to get along with others and behavioral stuff.
Also be prepared to counter the indoctrination with reasoning a child can understand, like how fun certain celebrations are, etc.
If parents do not heed your words, there is always strictly supervised or minimum visitations.

years ago when i was "in" i loved the book study.
it was my favorite meeting by far.
mainly because it was a small group.
I was here and thought it was all made up. When it was announced in the KH, I was so happy that I could not stop my ear to ear grin. Same when it was announced that the small assemblies would only be one day each.
I just really hate meetings of any kind. I am quite a happy hermit. The times I fake some illness and stay home from a meeting, I am so very happy in peace and quiet at home! JWs are much too social a group for my style.

One of the best changes. Hated that awful meeting!
Now, some time soon, I hope they do away with the Friday in the regional assembly.
