  ~How has the blood issue affect you personally?

  in view of barb's news, it leaves me wondering, how all of you have been affected by the society's policy on blood transfusions.

  please tell us what your experiences have been.

  i have my own story to tell.

  I lost my mom because of the blood issue. I found this site not long after it.

  My mom had a blood disorder called Aplastic Anemia(not making white cells). Early on it could have been rectified by transfusions of white platlets. Due to the convoluted nonsense of the Watchtower she fought me on taking it. She then eventually died from Myloplastacia(not sure of spelling not making red cells). My mom was cared for through hospice at home.I remember the weekend she died in Florida. I was there with my staunch JW dad and brother and watched my mom slip away. I had to give her morphine while the asshole JW's sat around in her kitchen laughing and joking. That was Sunday May 20th 2001. My mom died Monday morning May 21st and I was the one with her.

  All because a bullshit religion which is made up of everything but the "TRUTH"

  being a professional baseball player.

  i ended up being a professional golfer and teacher, one of the few hats i wear.

  Gumby I was like you. I was so unhappy being a JW but felt I would be destroyed. I sometimes can't even remember what I felt back then. I sometimes wonder what is wrong with me because I don't really have that many memories. By the time I was about 13 or 14 I started smoking pot and stayed self medicated for 10 years. Till I got married and escaped.

  I'm 46(first time I've said that on the forum) and am not sure What I Want To Be When I Grow Up! I love to play music(guitar), and I am really creative. I think I would have loved to be a musician or a designer, but better than that I got the "TRUTH".

  By the way this is PC I can't get back on under my old name.

  I started out when my sons were very small doing just alittle something. Now after sheading the whole belief system of JW's I celebrate Christmas for all the wonderful things love has to offer. My younger son still believes in Santa Claus. All the magic and wonder that comes along with it is amazing. He volunteers with me to collect, wrap and spend time with less fortunate. He makes list of gifts he want's to buy all his loved ones including my JW father and brother. We watch old movies and especially "It's A Wonderful Life".We spend time together as a family cooking and inviting people over that we seldom see. There are so many leassons that you and your children can learn when you approach it like anything else in life, as a learning experience.

  I too had been brainwashed for so long about all the negatives, it takes time to let it go, but when it does it is wonderful.

  I just got off the phone with my JW dad. He told me he just came from the book study. I asked oh what are you studing? He said the book of Daniel. I then kind of asked about 1914 to see what he would say. He went into the whole 607being the fall of Jerusalem. I said oh that's interesting because I was just researching that with my son for his History class(9th grade). My dad said "let me send you this book because all the information is there". I said "that would be great".

  Now even though I was raised as a JW I really didn't pay much attention. I was just trying to figure out how to get out of there. So can anyone give me some of the threads that could be the most pertinent in regard to 607 being the wrong date. I have started reading the threads so I am not looking for everyone else to do the work just if you happened to know right off the top of your head which would be a good thread to follow.

  Thank you PC
