I'm very sorry for the loss of your mother and your terrible experience at JW hands but what you did was right and your memorial service was the best thing to do.

Well done for your courage!

Ozzie's Weekend Poll #122 Why did the Blood card change?

by ozziepost in

jw
friends

well here we are on a new server and it's not too bad, is it!

apart from that, how's your weekend been?

a highlight for us was partaking of a fine cabernet merlot.

Sort of what Mulan is saying, but could it be that if the 'No Blood' card is replaced by a more generalised end of life form then when they change their NO BLOOD stand in a few years, or whatever, all those people who have died or refused treatment and died because of the prohibition on blood, they will then not be sued by the deceaseds relatives.

it's funny how people who hate the jw's so much stick around the forum..

by jwbloodline in

not hating or directing this at anyone.

but if you guys hate the jw ways so much, why stick around the forum.

the internet is full of things to do.

Are you confused dear?

Some of my best friends were JW's and all my relatives still are.

There's hope yet to save them from a life time of misery and this is the place to learn how to gain your freedom from lies and help others to do the same. I view JWD as a replacement for the theocratic ministry school. These poor people, (JW's) need help!!!

"will we have cars in the new system?

" - uh, well jehovah will provide us with whatever we need.

Hi Hondo,

The Watchtower society can convince its members of anything, including that the sky's pink if it wanted to because those who are still witnesses are brainwashed at five meetings a week and regular study and field service. Those who have left, no matter how they argue it still have a tiny splodge of their brain's screaming out at them, no matter how much they ignore it or deny it, what if it's true and Armageddons about to happen!!!!!

The story is told in such a simplistic and genuinely believed way that people are lulled into a brainwashed, unthinking submissiveness.

I believe, when you read all of our stories and comments here from ex JW's the reason they are so humerous is that we are all laughing at ourselves and not just the WTBTS, and laughing at how we could have been so stupid.

But the brainwashing is thorough, and no matter how much we come to realise that we were living a total brainwashed lie a tiny bit of it still remains even when we are finally free.

If somebody tells you something, in the case of say a baby and young child and through their life, over and over again, that person will BELIEVE it. And in the case of someone who is just looking for hope and answers and want something good, they will believe it also.

It's just Brainwashing, plain and simple.

These people WANT a new system because life IS bloody hard and so they want to BELIEVE.

But that's just my opinion.
