  My mother passed away this morning...

  for any old-school ex-jws here that remember my many posts about my abusive jw mother and my sister committing suicide because of it...she passed away this morning because she began to bleed out and refused a transfusion.

  she had been in the hospital for a month.

  it appears she suffered a stroke and wasn't found by the brothers & sisters for three days (they missed her at the meetings).

  ...all of the governing body members suddenly died?!.

  i had been feeling a little sick so i took some nyquil which gave me the craziest dream last night where i saw a jdub plan out and kill each one of the gb!

  each made to look like an accident or like an illness.

  Robitussin makes me have terrible dreams. There will always be somebody to take the place of a gb member.

  Meeting with my family doctor...

  by NVR2L8 in

  i needed a prescription renewed and found out my old doc retired...met my new doc and took this opportunity to update my medical record...removed the no blood transfusion clause from my file.

  i told the doctor that inconsistencies within my church's doctrines made it impossible for me to put my life at risk for no valid reason.

  after throwing out my medical directive card, amending my medical record is another step toward totally breaking free from the cult.

  If the 'slave class' spoke in the first person, would it change how people viewed them?

  sometimes i think about stuff i read in watchtower literature and wonder if it would be received differently if it was just like, one guy with a bible, ranting as he paced back and forth amongst the jws.

  "it's abundantly clear that jesus selected me to be his channel of communication with mankind.

  don't you see the proof?

  here's my article on the latest development in the conti case.... http://jwsurvey.org/cedars-blog/you-cant-use-patterson-court-denies-watchtowers-bond-motion.

  i've tried to write it in such a way as to explain what's going on for people (like myself) who struggle to understand complex legal issues.. i've also availed myself of the help of a valued poster on this forum who wishes to remain anonymous.. i hope people will find the article helpful.

  as always, if people notice any problems with it, please let me know (as kindly as possible!

  Watchtower's lawyers tried arguing that, if Candace lost the appeal, she would have to repay the annual bond premium payments to the Society in excess of $80,000 per year for however many years the case dragged on.

  Is this true?

  You're only 28! Sweetie, you're going to grow and change a lot Just look at how much you've accomplished in a year's time! Maybe your next step should be becoming financially indepedent, so you don't have to worry about keeping a roof over your head and food in your belly. Then you'll be free to express your opinions and live your life the way you see fit.

  i wanted so bad to like zachery this season, damn. didt see that comin.

  Me neither! I thought he was a good guy.

  jamie: lily rabe "sister mary somethin?" (not jessica lang but the other nun) drug her down there. when anne frank shot the dr., she did it to cover for him.

  If that's the case, why didn't she just put her in the woods with the other monsters the doctor created?

  what do u guys make of the aliens?

  I have no idea what that's about.
