  The circumstances surrounding this whole thing are quite bizzare. Her non-JW aunt took her to the doctor. The mother found out that during surgery "blood was running through tubes outside her" and went to the elders. The elders during their inquisition asked her how she felt about this and she told them given the same circumstances she'd do it again. It was decided due to her lack of repentance to DF her.

  Thank you Blondie. The person in question had surgery for scoliosis where this technique was used. This was 15 years ago. She was DF'd back then and this year her mother has completely cut off all association with her. I will pass this info along.

  *** g74 11/8 ***9 is this the time to have children?

  there has always been a positive attitude about childbearing.

  families with many children have been praised and honored.

  JT, just to clarify I did get married after I left but because of our ages having children may not be in our future. When those sisters in the cong. who were beyond desperation got the news they were pizzed.

  Did anyone see The Guardian last night? (they showed a WT mag)

  by Mulan in

  my jw girlfriend called me this morning to tell me she watched "the guardian" last night and there was a hospital scene where the main character brought the patient a magazine.

  she opened it and said "oh, you brought me a watchtower".

  then they talked about how she was going to die and would see her baby soon, which my friend took for their alluding to the resurrection.. .

  This just shows how the only thing they're known for is being mag. dispensers.

  If your still-JW parent died...

  would you attend the funeral/memorial service?

  assuming that it would be held in a kh; or even if it wasn't.. this is something that's been on my mind lately; honestly, i'm not sure why.

  my parents are both still relatively young; 60 and 61. my dad has been diagnosed with skin cancer but both are otherwise healthy.. i really don't know whether i would; particularly for my father.

  I would go but I don't know what I'd do if I started getting the plastic smiles and phony sincerity.

  Gordon Edward Watson has been charged with sexual assault and personation. The 42-year-old Jehovah's Witness elder is believed to have been at the hospital on church business.

  Hopefully he wasn't there to see another patient (victim). This needs to be checked.

  I am not D/F but this weekend had a conversation with someone who after I told them I don't attend any meetings asked: "So you disassociated yourself from the cong. or is it something else?" I simply answered no. What this org. puts into the minds of its members is sickening.
