"If they relax shunning, apostasy will escalate massively."
Exactly!
If they get rid of the prohibition on blood, there will also be a mass exit and tons of law suits. WT knows this and this is why those 2 practices are still full on.

51“You know how I know that they're finished out there? The carts.”
by Athanasius inthe watchtower's many legal problems and the jws' use of carts in their preaching work, reminded me of a scene and dialog from the film patton.. in a scene where patton is viewing a battle site the morning after, he says to an aide about the nazis: “you know how i know that they're finished out there?
in my dreams i saw the carts.
they kept buzzing around in my head and i couldn't figure out why.

Not sure exactly how the "apostate question" is worded (something like...do you believe that WT is god's earthly organization). This article blows holes in that line of questioning and reasoning.

Unbelievable similarities: beautiful, empathetic interview with ex Mormon gal
by Diogenesister inwonderfully warm interview from "stop the shunning" channel host beth, with ex mormon morgan ( ex morgan).. morgan describes her young life and the process of waking up or, in mormon parlance, her "shelf breaking".
there really are so many things we have in common, from young marriage to feeling personally responsible for saving everyone you have contact with that's not of your religion.
morgan also describes both her father, her husband and her own fear of losing family and loved ones at the same time as loosing her religion and difficulty we all have whilst pretending we still believe or being pimo.. highly recommended viewing.https://youtu.be/upxirjvtpec .

This is a fantastic video! I had to keep reminding myself that she was talking about being a Mormon. The similarities are stunning.
It was worth the watch. I think what she says at the end is perfect. It gets better. Keep moving forward!! You are worthy and valuable! Great advise.
Thank you for posting this video. Thank you to Beth too. She and John are helping so many!!!

Do You Think People Have Forgotten About 9/11?
by minimus inafter all these years, it seems to me that people do not properly take note of what happened on this date in 2001. for some, it’s like nothing major happened.
for me it is a day of reflection..

I have not. My youngest was a baby. The next generation may not think of it like us oldies.
My thoughts go out to all those who lost loved ones on that tragic day.

it also directs elders to destroy information aired against so-called “wrongdoers”: “if this ‘wild talk’ is recorded in detail, it may not be accurately assessed when reviewed out of context,” it says.

I was a lucky one. Had a WONDERFUL Elder father. The best Dad in the world (just rooked into a cult).
I remember one of my best friends used to have to pull his own switch from a weeping willow tree outside of the KH. His Dad used to leave marks on his legs. I wondered why he always wanted to spend time at my house.
