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

.. 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.
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.

- if you see this balcony rockin’, don’t come knockin’.it was too early thursday morning for ava kwinter to unsee what she describes as a “traumatic” start to her day.as she passed by her door leading to the second-floor balcony just before 7 a.m., she saw two shadowy figures locked in an embrace.“the sun was already coming up but it was still dark,” she said.
It was so "gross and disgusting" that she took pictures of them en flagrante and watched them go at it with her daughter, went to have breakfast, and then went and watched some more.
And then called the media. Drama queen.
i have looked around and i don't see this covered, so i am starting a thread.. 1) the new "blood card" goes beyond being just a "blood card".. 2) a new edict concerning compliance.. pay attention to the changes.. first, the new card is termed "advance decision to refuse specified medical treatment".
the big change with the card itself is that it includes an 'override' of your "power of attorney".
this is huge.
rebel - good point. That's right, giving your blood card to the elders, technically goes against HIPPA.
this morning i stopped at dollar general to get a cheap container for waste paper.
it was 11:30 am and there were two jw literature trolleys parked near the store and manned by three jws, on old man in a rolling chair, a 30 something man, and 30 something woman.
as i walked by them i glanced at the their literature rack and proceeded into the store.. i was in the store for 20 minutes and made my purchase.
to get a cheap container for waste paper
And then you got something to put in your container. How poetic.

I consent to my relevant medical records and the details of my condition being shared with the Emergency Contact below and/or with member(s) of the Hospital Liaison Committee for Jehovah’s Witnesses.
OMG. WHY DO CLERGY NEED YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS.
Good thing that stupid language doesn't meet the requirements of HIPAA release of info.
I don't see what the issue is. ...I'm a grown woman.. nobody can make me.
There are minor teens on this forum who are not legally able to make their own decisions, and their parents will make this decision for them.
after working a redonkulously long number of hours exercising my fingers and brain, i decided to take a nice walk--you know, to be healthy.i walked to the drug store to get something for my staff--you know, 'cause i'm cool like that.walgreens forced me to walk down the seasonal aisle, against my will, and purchase 90% off easter candy, using its secret weapon (psychology).as i made my way home on my healthy walk, i was forced to eat what may be in the top 10 of the worst easter candy ever made in the entire multiverse since the beginning of time (and by that, i mean 7001 years ago).the first one had a layer of pink flavored goo topped with white crayolas mixed with sugar.
not satisfying.so obviously i had to have another one to satisfy myself, under extreme duress.
blue topping and crayola.
as i reported here in this forum, some time ago, my sister was constantly harried by two elders so as to be submitted to a judiciary committee for apostasy.
these two elders were constantly hounding her in the street when she walks to go to her job.
so she had to send them a notary letter in which she wrote that she would attend the judiciary committee only with her attorney.
