Email exchange with a JW MS that I used to know

by loosie in

i have to laugh at this email exchange had with an ms i used to know.

a little background first so you will understand why i was amd at him.

about 25 years or so ago we dated fro about 2 weeks.

loosie

He got so upset. I got a whole email with caps lock on. Seems to me if you are yelling you are upset. Most people I don't care to annoy. But this guy is an ass. After recalling the things he said to me 25 years ago I finally now realize I shouldn't have stood for it at all.

I have to laugh at this email exchange had with an MS I used to know. A little background first so you will understand why I was amd at him. About 25 years or so ago we dated fro about 2 weeks. @ weeks was all my stomach could handle and I broke it off. I walk with a slight limp ( another long JW story) he told me while we were dating that I should get that fixed as it made me less cute. After I broke it off he told me he wished I had never been born. A little harsh don't you think coming from an MS? Well being the good little JW I was you have to have peace with your brothers. So we made nice again.

Well about one year ago I found him on facebook. He asked how my congregation was... I told him I didn't go anymore. WHen I ask why I brought up the NGO/UN info. He said he would look it up. nOt once did I say anything about not beleiveing in god or speak against god. He said that he wouldn't be talking to me anymore since I wasn't a witness. No big deal to me. I let it go at that. Until A few months ago my very close friend got out of the witnesses. She told me that he called up all our mutual friends and told them I was apostate. Well that certainly pissed me off. Form then on it was on. I have no intention of converting him to be normal but my intention was to irritate him and let him know that I think it was wrong that he told people I was apostate.

So I emailed him info on the Candice Conti case... no response... I emailed he info about the Canadian Lawyer who had a conflict of interest because he was a Jw and he set up a trust for a person to ahve his money go to the wt society upon his death... no response. I sent him info about MJ's mom going to Indiana to celebrate MJ's birthday... BINGO a response.

He asked me not to send him anymore emails and that he has marked my emails as spam and won't be seeing these in his inbox anymore. So I told him you get what you deserve for being a pompous ass and telling my friends that I was an apostate.

So then I get a four paragraph email reply ALL IN CAPS LOCK, saying that I am an apostate. that I am just trying to hurt him and cast doubt on jahs organization. then he says this: BY THE WAY, THIS DID NOT HURT ME!. I DID NOT EVEN READ THE LINKS. I FIND YOU PATHETIC AND SADLY AMUSING. and that I need to worry about important things in life rather then trying to yank his chain. if I send him anymore emails he will turn me into the elders. YOUR VIEWS ARE APOSTATE. I STAND BY MY POSITION AND I HAVE NO INTENTION OF MODIFYING IT UNLESS YOU MODIFY YOUR BEHAVIOR AND RETURN TO JAH AND HIS ORGANIZATION. and then he ended by telling me to get right with jah.

so here was my reply:

I will answer your question because I have nothing to hide. Unlike you, you don't answer my questions or you can't answer them. I found out recently you called people telling them I am an apostate. Which I don't appreciate at all. The definition of apostate is someone who leaves their religion. All jws who have left their religion to become jws are apostate.... So it seems you are in company with apostates at the meetings. If you looked at the links you would see that they are current events so I couldn't send you them a year ago. I don't care if you believe in god or not but the organization you are in certainly doesn't represent Christianity at all. They are hypocrites who change their beliefs and rules every decade or so. I am very concerned about the important things in my life. I am very happy with my life. This is what I do to people who call me an apostate who don't even know the meaning of the word. You can share these emails with whoever you want...I don't give a rats ass. I don't live my life trying to please windows washing elders... Their rules don't apply to my life. I won't modify my behavior for you, elders or anyone else.

I am glad that you don't have children. That way they won't have a chance to be molested by "brothers" in the organization you so proudly represent. And that you won't be bringing another generation into this cult you belong to.

Your organization is not jahs organization. God is to big for one religion. Don't feel sorry for me. I am the happiest I've ever been. I have a wonderful kind husband and a beautiful daughter who is smart and independent.

I'm not trying to hurt you. I'm trying to get you to realize your behavior is ruled by group of men in NY, and not your own mind. When you are 80 and the new system isn't here you'll remember this. Maybe you'll wonder why you wasted your life in that group.

Obviously this did get to you or you would have taken caps lock off. Lol

Now remember he said all my emails are to the spam folder... so why is he still replying?

So he then replies BYE.

To which I respond just like a jw when you cant answer the questions you turn tail and run.

then he says he is done haivng this conversation.

What gets me is that he wants to turn me into my elders.... I don't have elders. Now there are some men I used to know that call themselves elders but we are equals and they can't tell me what to do or not to do. Cracks me up.

Not some may think I was to harsh on him, but this guy isn't a person I would have been friends with if we weren't jws and had to be friends. Even if he wasn't a jw is would still be a jerk.

How to Record a Judicial Meeting

by 00DAD in

introduction: this subject came up on another thread and seemed important enough to justify its own thread:.

judicial hearing procedure, chapter 7. recording devices.

"recording devices should not be allowed.

loosie

In my judicial comittee meeting 17 years ago... they asked me if my husband put a recording device in my purse. being as indoctrinated as I was I opened my purse to show them nothing was there.. and in fact nothing was there... but it gave me a good idea for the next time I had a judicial meeting... but alas they no longer have any interest in me so I don't think I will be getting one again in my lifetime.

email from a HLC member

by loosie in

just for shits and giggles (not because i want to be friends necessarily) i looked up an elder i used to know on facebook... what do you know he was there.

i asked him if he was still a jw?

he said yes.... i said funny i thought you'd be out because of all the changes in the blood doctrine.

loosie

@ Simon you are right I am probably trying to pick a fight with him... but that is because he was one of the elders on my judicial committee.

LOL @ Jim - you're right that was my first thought - those are the fools I heard it from.

Good Job @ Billy man you are a walking encylopedia.

@ Marvin I think I will email him your link.

He said yes.... I said funny i thought you'd be out because of all the changes in the blood doctrine. This was his reply:

although man may change their position on Blood, our God Jehovah has remained consistent. For example, in Noah's day, Jehovah instructed him and his offspring to abstain from Blood. Over a thousand years later when providing the Mosaic Law to the nation of Israel, he reiterated his command to abstain from blood. Thereafter, about 1500 years later, when Jesus Christ established Christianity, Jehovah again repeated to christians his law to abstain from blood. Don't let any fool tell you differently

So I replied:

Ok so if you're supposed to abstain from blood how come NOW can accept blood fractions or derivatives and organ transplants when they weren't able to in the 80's? The governing body is supposed to be gods channel on earth are they not? Now the HLC is reminding witnesses that life is sacred just as blood is, because too many jws are saying no to all blood products. When you get an organ transplant some of the donors blood comes with the organ. How is that abstaining from blood? Remember R....... I was raised a JW .... I'm no dummy... I remember all the changes that governing body has made.

So who is the Man he refers to when he says man may change their position. ANd who is the fool that would tell me differently... ( the governing body???)

Arguing is not my strong suit. Should have replied differently?

Not Breaking News: Jehovahs Witness Won in Court Over Medicaid Coverage

by Scott77 in

sorry, old news but is typical watchtower society ofjehovahs witnesses as they face life and death events.

i think, they want to die as martyrs.

jehovahs witness qualifies for coverage, but too late for transplantby brad cooperthe kansas city starmary stinemetz beat the state in a precedent-setting religious freedom case, but shes losing the battle against a chronic liver disease.. stinemetz is terminally ill after she was unable to get a liver transplant even though she won a legal battle that forced the state to honor her faith and pay for an out-of-state liver transplant.. no one can say for sure how much time she has left.. anything can happen at any minute, stinemetzs husband, merlyn, said tuesday.

loosie

I spoke with a doctor that I work with. There is no way to do a liver transplant without some of the donors blood coming along with the liver into the recipient. So the whole idea of transfusion is silly because she will have foreign blood in her anyway.

Woman requesting bloodless liver transplant

by loosie in

ok so here in kansas there is a women who is a jw asking for a liver transplant, but she wants bloodless surgery.

she is on state healthcare.

the state said no bloodless surgery is not needed in this case and refused to pay for the added cost.

loosie

Ok so here in Kansas there is a women who is a JW asking for a liver transplant, but she wants bloodless surgery. She is on state healthcare. The state said no bloodless surgery is not needed in this case and refused to pay for the added cost. So she found doctors in Nebraska who would do it but they wanted KS to pay for it instead of NE. So she sued to get KS state to apy for it. She won her lawsuit but since the case took months to settle her condition has progressed so that she is no longer eligible for a liver transplant.

Maybe there are some medical professionals on here that can shed some light on this for me but if you are getting a liver transplant doesn't blood from the donor come along with the liver?

No Transplant For Kansas Woman In Religious Freedom Case

A Kansas woman’s victory in a religious freedom case came too late for her to get a life-saving liver transplant.

Mary Stinemetz of Hill City is terminally ill with chronic liver disease.

The 65-year-old woman is a Jehovah’s Witness, a religion that forbids blood transfusions. She won a legal battle last year that forced the state to pay for a transplant in Nebraska that did not require a blood transfusion.

Kansas officials had argued that a bloodless transplant was not a medical necessity, and Steinmetz’s religion should not determine insurance coverage.

The Kansas City Star reported Tuesday, the legal victory came too late for Stinemetz. By the time she won, her condition deteriorated so much that she was not eligible for a new liver.
