  I went to see my Dr about the blood card issue

  by purrpurr in

  i booked a double appointment so that she wouldn't be rushed.

  i explained that i'd been brought up in the jw's and woken up to what a load of shite it was.

  i explained that they have changed the blood card and that the elders in the cong are being told to effectively force people into signing it.

  Is there any way people could appear to be complying with the borganization's edict to sign it, but really not? Like signing it the wrong way, or having a trusted friend sign your signature and be a witness to the fact that you did not sign it? And have a letter on file in your home stating you did not sign it and were only presenting the pretend document to get the cult off your back? Sign it "Scooby Doo"?
  

  I personally would be very worried that somehow the no blood card would get enforced.

  Resolutions at Kingdom Hall

  by sieborg in

  anyhow i got to thinking today about my days in the borg and the resolutions that would intermittently be made in the announcements for co visit expenses, sending a donation to society www fund etc.

  my point is that while i was in (almost thirty two years) i never once saw anyone put up their hand to vote against a resolution that the body of elders proposed.

  on a couple of occasions i heard a few hushed murmurs but i never saw one person vote against.

  I remember a resolution to change the weeknight meeting nights. One MS worked those evenings, and he seconded the motion.

  I asked why and was told he could see jehoopla's spirit wanted the change to happen, so he wanted to support it.

  I believe he did not attend the weeknight meetings after the change. lol

  2016-4-4-BOE!--Scanning and Sending Medical Records through Emails!

  i was always under the impression that only "licensed" persons had the authority to do this.. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.

  2016-4-4-boe scanning and sending medical records through emails!.

  .. this is the last paragraph of the main body of the boe without the top and bottom, which revealed the congregation and information which could expose our source.. .. "therefore, brothers, i appeal to you to make sure that a copy of the new add for every publisher is kept in alphabetical order, perhaps using an a-z filing system to expedite it's location and so that it can be kept neat, clean and legible for scanning and emailing for up to 4 years, after which a new copy should be completed.

  For some reason this forum has a lot of posts misinterpreting HIPAA, even after I posted a direct link proving the law does not apply to religions.

  I need food for thought..

  by raven in

  hi friends,it has been 20 years that i've slaved for the wt and through out the past couple of years i could feel myself fighting an urge to accept that something was not right.

  i fought it off for so long only for it to resurface frequently throughout my years of pioneering, assembly/convention parts, & speaking with people about the "truth", slaving and giving to try to be a "spiritual person" but in reality i was not spiritual because spirituality (according to the org) is doing all of the things they want you to do.

  which then will label you as spiritual... no !!!

  I felt like that too, OP.

  I decided to resolve it by reading the Bible, front to back, in order, without the aid of publications. Just the bare truth of what the book says.

  I got done and my faith was weaker than ever. Baby killing, rapes, kidnapping, approved slavery, torture, racism, misogyny, hatred and evil of all kinds--all approved by both Jesus and Jehovah.

  So I thought I just lacked faith, and made myself read it again, front to back.

  By the time I got into early Revelation, I realized it was as whack as whack gets. It is not a holy, harmonious book inspired by a loving being. When I shut the back cover for the last time, I was done.

  The great thing about doing that is you know you gave it your best shot. You will never regret or feel as though somebody else influenced you.
