Blood Card Issue

by pometerre21 in

i posted this on r/exjw, but i thought i might post it here as well.

so the elders in our kh are moving to get us to sign new simplified blood cards and keep them on file.

i really need to not rock the boat in my current pimo status because of circumstances.. my cousin knows i have doubts about the blood thing, but i can’t show her that my doubts are getting to me.

Ah, the games faders have to play. If you're going to do something like DOC says above, which might be your only play if you're really willing to potentially sign your life away to the cult, be sure to maybe speak with a lawyer about it. Maybe you could get something drawn up legally because otherwise they'll bring in their copies of your papers and they'll be sure to have people speak for you as to you being a good JW so they'll try to establish a pattern of you as a JW despite anything you do to circumvent it.

Or you could just establish a boundary and say that you won't do it, you won't give them one. Just say you're a private person or that you feel weird or something and be quirky and don't do what they say. I don't think they can disfellowship you because you don't give them a copy of your card. You will have to sack up and take a stand though. Or just let them bully you like they do with their bad cult boundaries and put your life in their hands. I'm pretty sure you've been given advice on this already.

hey its me if any one remembers me,i just wanted to post saying that ive been doing well.right now im just trying to live life and have some fun while im still a kid.it still sucks to have to go to meetings etc.. like the title i wanted to say thanks for the people that helped me when i was posting a lot.i might post some times but not as much as i used to..

Welcome back! Glad to see you again. Live life, have fun, and don't get baptized. The Bible is a bunch of bull but there are still good lessons in it so if you have to be exposed to it you might learn something here or there that actually applies to real life. Just focus on being the best version of you that you can be, and don't forget to be a kid. The cult robs many of that opportunity. Take care!

my cousin's girlfriend moved from another state and is now living in our home.

they said she lived in a bad situation, but i don't believe them.

my cousin lies.

You know who else lies? The governing body. Visit jwfacts.com and if you care about truth and lies bother you I think you're about to learn a whole lot of things.

Life is a filmstrip, not a snapshot. Don't get too wrapped up in any one moment.

I always liked that perspective.

Classic Talk Regarding KH Consolidation

by lepermessiah in

last night i was listening in as my spouse was on the phone line.

there was a big "local needs" talk announced and it was speculated to be about the congregation reshuffling.. that ended up to be the case.

i thought i used to lay it on thick from the platform....... this was the ultimate spin job - worthy of political office or a spot on the governing body.. one thing that stood out "while the numbers may not necessarily indicate it, it is clear jehovah is speeding up the work".

dubstepped

^^^^Yep. So Orwellian.

Tomorrow is Friday, so the weekend is coming. Things are warming up outside. Flowers are already blooming, the grass is literally getting greener. It is lighter later in the day. Life is growing and ready to burst forth around us.

Well, I was only referring to the statement in the video, but yes they do directly encourage it in other places. My reaction was to the video only, not every possible thing they've ever written or said.

Bottom feeding disgusting scavengers, whoever is doing this. Shame on the soul sucking Borganization for not condemning the practice. They just gave it tacit approval.
