here is a great story about a disfellowshipped man who fought his in laws, his wife, and his wife's boyfriend, and other jehovah witnesses, in order to win custody for his son...........and won!.
you will like the outcome.. https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/1he2emz/i_used_the_blood_shunning_issues_to_win_custody/.
Perhaps those who still attend JW services can shed some light on the subject. But I heard that in most cases, unless the congregation has nosy elders, the blood issue is "don't ask, don't tell."
Since most states in the USA have patient privacy laws, a JW who needs one can have a blood transfusion without the elders ever finding out.
uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
I enjoy the videos that Wally produces on JW Thoughts. He makes them not only informative, but also entertaining. So one can be informed of the latest in "Dub Land" and also get a hearty laugh or two at the expense of the GB.
Others must agree as Wally's last six videos had an average of 22K views. Interestingly JW Thoughts has only 31K subscribers.
Ex JW Caleb has also made some good videos. However, Caleb has an even smaller audience as his last six videos had only 7.5K average views, with 10.3K subscribers.
But what I found really surprising is that Lloyd's last six videos only averaged 7K views. Whereas, he has 115K subscribers.
But one has to wonder if the 115K subscribers listed on Lloyd's website is a real number. Because if one compares his total "subscribers" to the average views on his six recent videos, it looks like only 6% of Lloyd's subscribers even bothered to watch his recent offerings.
When Lloyd begs for money, he claims that he is engaged in a life saving work. However, it looks like Wally and Caleb are much more successful in reaching more people than Lloyd. Moreover, unlike Lloyd they don't demand payment for their work.

Looks like Lloyd's patron count is up to 358. It was 307 at the beginning of the month. Which means he was able to dupe 50 additional persons to support his sexual escapades.
I used to feel sorry for those who were duped into supporting this slob. But with all the information on the internet exposing the type of person Lloyd is and what he really uses their money for, they no longer have my sympathy. In fact they may very well be just like him.

Looks like Lloyd had another drop in patron support. Yesterday he had 324 paid members. Today he has 309.
apparently, the downsizing is still happening and from what i read those let go are over 50!.
sad because these people expected to be lifers.
now they have to make their way in the world at an advanced age with no education or desirable skill!..
I would hope that a few of these forcefully retired Bethelites would get a good lawyer who specializes in age discrimination lawsuits. If the Watchtower's cruel practices are exposed in the media and the courts system, perhaps the Borg will be forced to pay its terminated employees the compensation they deserve.
democrats are always harping on and on about voting rights and how the ability to vote should be easier and access unrestricted.
the most progressive ones want to allow prisoners, and illegals with no voter id the ability to vote along with the criminals, drug addicts, and uneducated low lives who already can vote.. .
after they push for everyone and anyone to be able to vote they then tell us it is a sacred privilege, a duty and honor, and a big responsibility blah, blah ect..... if it is all those grandiose things are true i think it should be harder to vote not easier.
Only the tax payers should be allowed to vote. No representation without taxation.

I wonder what would happen if one of the elders who served on one of Lloyd's Judicial Committees became a POMO and started posting on this forum?

Pornography must be a major problem among JW elders, thus the video. But this may backfire on the Watchtower. After viewing the video, elders who watch pornography will know to keep it secret if they want to retain their position in the congregation.
The Watchtower encourages JWs to inform on each other and in the video the snitch elder is commended. But what happens in real life? How will the snitch elder will be viewed by the other elders after the CO leaves?

If the JW leadership insists on removing elders who view pornography, will there be anyone left to serve on the body of elders?
With so few male JWs "reaching out for privileges," I can see an elder body giving a free pass to an elder who confesses to watching "soft core pornography." With no replacements available, removing him would mean more work for those still serving on the BOE.

Interesting decline in Lloyd's paid membership. On July 30 he had 347 paid members. On August 1 he only had 325, a loss of 22. Also noted is the quality of his videos is also in decline.
