  this is my first time joining a forum like this.

  i grew up in the jw religion.

  i was baptized when i was 13 and started to fade out at 16 at least mentally.

  Because nobody else is talking to her right now, just be there for her. Take her out, distract her from her problems, be a good sister, help her, communicate daily. This love will be in sharp contrast to the religion she knows. And it will hopefully open the way to more open discussions, she might be a little more receptive in the future.

  But what everyone else said too, learn more. Ask her to explain the unexplainable. From the Bible. How come we're allowed blood fractions which come from donations, but aren't allowed to donate? How come we're allowed fractions at all if the Bible specifically condemns blood? Ask her if the gb have said anything about the Australian commission, because obviously there's two sides to every story and you realise the media are biased and wanted the jdub version. Ask her if she can help you understand the overlapping generations thing? Get her on your side, then when she realises it can't be understood because it's all tosh and needs blind faith in the GB, she might realise that you're on to something..

  Best of luck!

  Why is Mother's Day wrong?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so why is celebrating mother's day wrong according to witnesses?.

  is it not an opportunity to show respect to the giver of life (mother) and therefore god, the originator of families?.

  does it not give an opportunity for members of the family to give a hard working mother a day off?

  yo bitches.. being a good submissive little jdub i lodged a copy of my blood card with my eldubs.

  it's in their safe as we speak.

  i want to counteract that document without altering the eldubs to this fact.. my doctor has agreed to put a note on the medical system (uk) saying that i've changed my mind on the blood issue, no matter what any legal-paper-waving death merchant wt representatives may sputter at my death bed.

  Yo bitches.

  Being a good submissive little jdub I lodged a copy of my blood card years ago with my eldubs. It's in their safe as we speak. I want to counteract that document without altering the eldubs to this fact.

  My doctor has agreed to put a note on the medical system (UK) saying that I've changed my mind on the blood issue, no matter what any legal-paper-waving death merchant wt representatives may sputter at my death bed. I understand that at that point, my fade is blown, but who cares by then, I'd rather LIVE and face up to the consequences after the fact.

  He suggested that I make up my own document stating that reversal of decision, which he would witness and sign.

  Any ideas on wording for this anti-no-blood-card card please?

  In answer to your original question, yes, you can.

  But you must be careful, and in personal conversation frame things in questions. Just giving a fact here or a quotation there can get defenses up, and that can come back to bite you in the ass. I've had success in that way.

  If you mean in the congregation, answering up, then I think possibly, but you have to be even more careful as the eldubs will be listening too and you don't want to get put on the radar.

  If you have to be there (I share your pain bro) then good Christian answers can redirect the hate propaganda sometimes, and can show people that you know what you're talking about scripturally. This could come in handy in the future if word gets out about your doubts, 'brother rogue apparently has doubts? But he's such a knowledgeable brother. Maybe he's onto something...'

  After yesterdays shunning watchtower article

  by dbq407 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  matthew 6:15 are jesus' own words on how to deal with a sinner.

  15 “if your brother or sister[b] sins,[c] go and point out their fault, just between the two of you.

  if they listen to you, you have won them over.

  Add to that Jesus words again at Matthew 5 : 43-47 where he tells his followers to love their enemies, and if they greet only their own brothers they're no better than the people of the nations and the tax collectors as they do that also.

  But no, we actually mandate that we are NOT to even greet any exjws.

  Whatever. Watchtards.

  Welcome dreamer dude dude!

  I wish you every success. Some great advice on here. I'm still trying to listen more than talk, but it's difficult when there's simply no talk about anything spiritual unless I start it.

  You sound like you've got your head screwed on tight though, best of luck mate..
