When I was a teenager in the borg I was a dyed in the wool, goody two shoes, squeaky clean,"spiritual " sister. Alot of my peers around me were rebelling and going off the rails but not me. I was constantly praised for this and even felt a little smug about it ha!

But now days I find myself desperately wishing that I had been one of the ones who went out drinking, clubbing and some nice lovely fornications! Instead I waited until my adult life was set in stone before i started to wake up and thus found myself truly trapped inside the Borg.

Am I alone in this? Is anyone else here a former good dub who left the Borg late in life? And if so do you wish that you had rebeled when young?

I went to see my Dr about the blood card issue

by purrpurr in

i booked a double appointment so that she wouldn't be rushed.

i explained that i'd been brought up in the jw's and woken up to what a load of shite it was.

i explained that they have changed the blood card and that the elders in the cong are being told to effectively force people into signing it.

I have been toying with the idea of once the blood card is signed but before it's photocopied to quickly cross out the "not" part where it says "I have not been under duress to sign this document". Would a ministerial servant whose doing a bunch of photocopying really check every one?

For UK members here worried about jw admin staff getting a look at any letter you might write contradicting the blood card you can ask to do what I did. Have the letter put on EKIS in a secret folder that is not open to mere admin staff but only to DR's. This way if there is a jw receptionist for instance, she won't have access to the letter. And if an alert is put on saying in the event of blood being needed to check out the letter in the secret file, well she would have no idea what the letter says and would probably assume it's a copy of the blood card.

That's how it works in the UK at least, I don't know about other countries.

My sister denounced the two elders

by opusdei1972 in

yesterday my sister presented, against the two stalker elders, a complaint before the district prosecutor.

the prosecutor said to my sister that in the country there are freedom of religion, so it is totally illegal to accuse a person loudly in the street before her neighbors , and to insist for going to a illegal judicial questioning.

she even showed to the prosecutor a past notification in which she asked to the elders a written document specifying the charge of apostasy so as to attend the judiciary meeting with her attorney.

Wow respect to your sister!

Some are the WT own pubs that I assume have been put there by well meaning bro's but others seem to be books written by individual jw's themselves! Some are even teaching books! Others are stories about the wonderful life in paradise or poetry about Jehovah (yuk!)

What's the betting some are using this to count their time? Or that others wish they were on the writing dep and so went ahead and wrote their own books?

Well the racism charge was said by my Dr and was based on her own experience. She didn't say why she had reached this conclusion

Data-dog, I'm going to try like alot of people here to resist signing this blood card, but we know the kind of pressure the elders and family members can bring to bear. It's possible that they may either threaten or make life unbearable if I don't sign.

I agree this needs to be challenged but then what would the Watchtower say? " we didn't force them they had a choice (!) Loose your family or sign the blood card"
