Good job! (( ))
Been there, done that. It completely sucks that irrational brainwashing causes easily avoidable problems.
I hope the underlying cause of the anemia has been resolved too.
Please keep us informed about what the elders do.

The Vedas - Scientific Knowledge - Prophecy - The Truth?
by LAWHFol inthe vedas are the core sacred texts for the people of the east.
generally the vedas are to the east as the hebrew scriptures are to the west.
supporters of the bible, boast of it's scientific accuracy,prophetic accuracy & general infallibility.

Sanskrit is considered to be the Highest Quality Language, and Most Logical Language in Existence by Nasa
Truth: A paper published several decades ago by an employee of NASA, writing it on his own time with no involvement of NASA, said Sanskrit's strict grammar rules make it easy for computers to interpret. End of story. So...not an indicator of divinity.
The Vedas include Highly Accurate Prophecies of the End Days.
How would we know it's accurate, since it hasn't happened yet?
Their Prophecies include the Coming of Christ & The Great Flood.
So do many religions, but there is no evidence Jesus Christ existed and The Great Flood has been thoroughly disproven.

why is it ok to kill someone who is mentally stable but not someone who is mentally ill?
Who is saying it is?

He had so many issues with coworkers over the years at many jobs, making false accusations that they were out to get him and calling him names. @ one point, his employer directed him to seek medical attention or he would be terminated. Once, he was fired and had to be removed from the premises by the police.
He claimed Jehovah told him to do it.
Yes, it could be just anger issues. But...there is a legitimate suspicion that this was a mental health issue. Consider this: paranoia (everyone is making racist comments about him), command hallucinations (Jehovah speaking to him), delusions of grandeur (saying those other mass murderers are "his boys"), bizarre behavior at work (former employers state this) and aggression characteristic of several common mental illnesses. It's well within the realm of possibility.
Now we will probably never know for sure, since we can't have him diagnosed now.

If an anointed person gets disfellowshipped, does he lose his Get Off of Earth Free card?

When I was in school, I had textbooks that said "Negroes". Then it was changed to "colored", then "black". We had a session in the beginning of the school year when we had to sit there and cross out the old words and write in the new ones. There was some speech about how the old word is not nice and won't be allowed.
It seemed odd to have a word that was A-ok 3 months prior to suddenly be a bad word, but at least there was transparency.
In some respects, the avg dub is childlike in his unquestioning acceptance of what Mother Borg tells him. Yet he gets little closure or acknowledgement. He is usually left to figure out what changed so as not to make a misstep.

She was one credit away for getting her degree when there was an assembly and she realized that Jehovah did not want her to go for higher education and that she should pioneer instead. The strange thing is Jehovah revealed this right when the system cut her off.
Jehovah needs to get a Day Planner to keep better track of these things. LOL

Sister attendants not able to give directions to a brother..Misogyny
by Theburstbubble inat our recent rc i was advised by a sister who was an attendant that they have been advised not to be able to give brothers directions as this should be dealt with by the brothers.
apparently at the pre-convention attendants meeting, the sisters were asked to stay behind.
this was when they were given the news that the brothers should deal with brothers.

What do you mean by giving directions? Like, "Sister, please tell me where the restroom is"?
This is an odd turn of events. We finally have men asking for directions and now we can't answer. ;) j/k
NY44MM is right though. We don't have a built-in pointer. Thankfully, there's an app for that.
Seriously though, _Morpheus, IIRC, the restriction only applied to directing, as in giving instructions or guidance to.
