shunning is bad

friends

so i had a phone conversation last night, i'm not proud of myself but that is how the cookie crumbles.

started off all well & good then up came the arc which i was informed was all propaganda & the oct 2012 polices i got from the internet are apostate & not true.

so i lost the plot, completely lost it, & let out everything i was feeling.

Counsel from Bro Losch (GB Member) to the Elders about the NFL

by James Jack in

while attending a week long training class for elders in patterson, bro losch gave the concluding talk about loyalty to the borg, which i was in awe of(i went more in detail in a recent post about a s.a.d.

where losch was the speaker).

at the end of his talk, here's what he said: .

I attended a district convention in Samoa where GB Jackson made a big deal out of the rivalry between Samoan and Tongan Rugby teams. Rugby (which nearly has a religious reverence of its own) is played without any protective gear and with much passion and enthusiasm. Jackson had obviously watched alot of games and knew alot about ruby.

The fact that he said "Why didn't he just quit the church when he became an adult" clearly shows absolutely no comprehension of what it is like to be trapped in a high control cult.

Beethoven would not have been a happy chappie!

They turn good music into funeral dirges! It's so forced and depressing!

Should doctors tell JW patients that there is disagreement about Watchtower's blood policy.

by Lee Elder in

this has been a controversial issue among doctors and medical ethicists.

i think it basically comes down to the fact that physicians have a responsibility to establish the presence of informed consent.

is it really possible for a person to give informed consent if they are not accurately informed?.

I think many witness parents are secretly relieved in some Australian states doctors will be very proactive and get a court order for minor children. As a nurse especially working in maternity its extremely stressful for the nursing staff when witness mothers just don't comprehend of just how much danger they have sometimes put themselves and their babies in. While I agree that persons should have a right to refuse medical treatment and often do for many reasons. I don't think a publishing company is suitable people to be dispensing life/death medical advice. Especially with all their flip/flops. If?? the WT organisations is as clean and loving as they so self righteously always trumpet. Why don't they donate blood? It takes large quantities of blood to make fractions that they TAKE from wicked worldly people to keep themselves alive!!

The story of my exit

by mrsObfuscate in

i have been lurking here for about 6 months, and being the last day of the year, and ready to start the new one afresh, i want to share the story of our exit from the org.

i have found the personal experiences of others of immeasurable value, (and its been a while since a good exit story has been posted) that i hope this can be of benefit to at least someone.. .

my mother became a jehovahs witness when i was about 9 or 10. i remember initially hating all of the new sanctions put on our lives (no birthdays and christmas anymore) but for some reason i soon after joined her in attending the meetings and eventually got baptized at the age of 14. my staunch catholic father converted a couple of years later.

Mrs Obfuscate, thanks for your great post so relatable and I hope all goes well at Uni. I enrolled in Uni post cult (very mature aged student)and the biggest advantage for me is learning to think critically for the first time. And knowledge is power. Welcome to the real world!
