There is no way that I would have at the time, I believed that 100%. I would consider it now but I still have part of that brainwashing in-tact. It would be a difficult decision for me...

Honestly, Would You Have Secretly Taken a Blood Transfusion?
by minimus inwhile i was an active jw elder, i wouldn't have up until that last year.
that's when i was totally mentally out, just going thru the technicalities.
i still respect other jw's viewpoints on their not accepting blood----although i think they are terribly misguided.

Brothers who were Gay but couldn't admit/accept it! Did you have some?
by Witness 007 ini have come to realize that being gay is something you are just born with....so why judge them if it's like being born a certain race.. a brother g_____ i knew was a zealous pioneer pushing 43 years old.
he never married though the sisters thought he was dreamy and he had plenty of offers....."she's not for me" he would always, many times tell me some excuse.
he loved to give only brothers a big hug...say if you gave a public talk or something.

I knew of one young man in another hall that clearly was. I do believe he used to wear a little make up as well. He was beautiful, in a very feminine way. I wonder what ever became of him...

They don't have any symbolism in my life as I do not consider myself religeous. Therefore I don't forsee a situation arising that I would wear one.

That was excellent reasoning with her and hopefully some of it sunk in! She sounds like a fairly level headed person so you just never know what effect this may have on her. Maybe not right away, but I bet it is a nagging thought in the back of her mind (where she tried to keep it!)
Thanks so much for sharing!

No I never did. Why bother when I knew nothing would be done about it anyway.

Did You See "Coverups" In The Congregation?
by minimus ini did many times.
if a family member was well connected, things would be swept under the carpet.
but if you didn't know the right people, you'd be taken into the "back room" and the elders would grill you.

One more comment, it wasn't a matter of conscience in my family. I was taught to never set foot inside a church, it was wrong to do so. I can see now that perhaps it is/was a MOC to most, but that is not what I was taught.
