  Sirona,

  On another board someone had a saying from a Celtic prayer "Be easy on someone grieving, especially if it is you who are grieving." shelley

  this one really freaked me out.

  i was so brainwashed at the time i found a way to justify it.

  i think i?ve been repressing my anger about this and now i need to vent.

  When I was 15, the 16 yr old son of my parent's bible study was killed when a train hit the vehicle he was in. He was in the van with his "worldly friends". Of course, that was the reason "he wasn't sparred". He was still clinging to his "bad associations". He and I had become very close. His funeral was abour 120 miles away from home. Sure, witnesses went, but the entire funeral home was packed with his "worldly" associations. They were even having to stand outside. I cried for 2 weeks. That's all I could do. Boy, did I get in trouble with step-daddy dearest. The elder's even met with me, because of my "attutide". I was 15, and hurting. All I could hear about was..blah, blah, blah.....

  Over the years, while working in the ER, I have had JW's try and place literature with me while trying to work on patients. I've had to throw out several from the ER.

  The two times I had to deal with the hospital liasion committee, they were more worried about either preaching to me, or when they finally figured out I had been a JW, trying to get me in trouble. But the doctors and hospital stood behind me. I don't know how many times my patients have left literaure. It got to be a standing joke about all the nurses collecting the literature that had been left in the waiting rooms or in patients rooms. They'd start a pile for me to "discard" whenever I was on duty.

  The HLC were the coldest hunk of rocks I've ever seen. And I've seen alot. They never showed concern for the patients I had that were children. They were more concerned about their acting like self-righteous idiots. The "witness" they thought they were giving, was a joke to the staff.

  The cruelty against me can be classified as fair or unfair?

  first excuse my spelling throughout this piece.this issue has a lot of back history that is needed to understand it, so please bear with the long summary.. i am currently still a jehovah witness, on paper; i have not attended a meeting for over 6 months.

  i was reproved about 7 months ago.

  because i questioned their actions, and i had influence over others.

  Ann in texas,

  If you are in texas, I'm envious. I moved from there several months ago. But, welcome to the board. I'm sorry for what you have had to endure. I've had lots of dealings with the elders. I've found, like you, it doesn't matter what the truth is. It's what they decree. It's not fair. But it's "their world according to the opinions of the local elders."

  Does he really want to be reinstated after all this? My personal opinion is screw them. The best way to get ahead of them is to be happy.

  blessed be

  Welcome to the board. It's kinda strange how you would get directed to this board, out of all the boards on the internet. Care to be a little more specific on how you came here?

  Yes, alot of us have issues. Some build up enough trust here to open up, share, and begin healing. This board has been a life-saver for me.

  blessed be

  i will be very brief on my introduction as i need to get straight to the point.

  i was raised in the 'truth' from birth.

  i got baptized at 16 (elder dad hassled me) and managed to do the 'slow fade' at 18 (it helped that i moved 50 miles away from home).

  I'm sorry for what you are going thru. It's going to be hard to accept his decision. It'l important to open lines of communication with the doctors and nursing staff. Talk to them before his surgery. If the HLC gets to be too much of a pain in the ass, there are HIPPA laws that can restrict their access. The staff are not required to give them any special treatment. I have dealt with them in the ER and ICU. They presume way too much.

  blessed be,
