i need your help please, for an article i'm writing.. i believe that quite recently in the 2010's, possibly at one of the annual meetings of the watchtower, there was one speech (or was it in a publication?

in a broadcast?

) where it was stated that the "organisation is our mother".

Its amazing how we became "experts" of the Watchtower soup of doctrines. Such worthless knowledge. Gotta admit, we have it down.

Need some advice, my gf just tried to commit suicide (very long post)

by Jayk in

sorry for the grammar and spelling errors if any..(me 29 raised in the org) (gf 25 not raised) just left her at the hospital with (call her sara).. sara had just ingested half a bottle of her antidepressant pill and half a bottle of melatonin.

this took place after a discussion we where having about a recent event that took place.

long story short, sara told me she slept with my best friend/coworker(call him tim) after a argument we had, the morning after it supposedly happened.. i was pretty torn but i was maintaining and i even thought sara was lying because tim was such a good friend.

I don't know her. I don't know you. We are not professionals though many have experienced similar things. One thing we know is that she needs her family and a therapist. Don't take it personally, I know that much. Mental illness needs the healing touch of a professional.

I Ended my Bible Study

by Maria Nieves in

i ended my bible study today.

several months ago, i began to feel that the truth was not the truth.

as the months progressed, my feelings intensified.

That's how it works, make friends with you and lull you into a false sense of being needed, loved and wanted. You buckle to make someone happy by being baptized and "Bam"! you're kicked out when you use your brain at last. They are NOT your friend. Its conditional and you fail the condition of believing their BS.

Scanning and Sending Medical Records Through Emails--Circuit Overseer Letter!

by Atlantis in

jw
friends

atlantis, do you have the circuit overseer's letter, where they say they scan and send your medical records through emails?

isn't that against the law?.

you would need to speak with those on the board with legal knowledge on that subject, because i am not qualified in such legal matters.

JeffT, my father died in Dec 17 and the Doctor/Care providers still have this arrangement for communication and records. You need a login, password etc. but its still all electronic. It's Sutter North of California. I know of HIPAA but this exists. Of course its not available to just anyone as you need an account and a password. The question was "Is it illegal to email medical records" hence my answer, not if permission is granted. (in California apparently.) Of course some Doctors may not have the service available.

For the last 7 years of my father's life we had access to all medical test results, diagnosis, appointments and notes of office visits online. This is in California. All medical information was available, including communications. I'm not sure how this fits into all these comments on it being illegal to use electronic communication for medical info.

Why the BIG 4.5 day elder "school"?

by eyeuse2badub in

just wonderin' if anyone has heard of anything about something big going down in the borg?

good friend of mine just told me today that he will be attending a 4.5 day elder "training school" all nest week!

the "special" elder "schools" are usually only 2-3 days.. lots of dumbing down coming?.

Wasanelder Once

Never underestimate the power of an elder's ego. A special school for me? Just for me? My very own? Thank you Jehovah and Jesus for giving me the tools to be your star in Jesus' right hand. Ugh.
