choices.
by my nature i am not a negative person.
should i live my life as a hypocritical, tortured pretender, or stand up for what is right and lose my reputation, friends and family?
I did #1 for a while and it mashed my brain. I couldn't live with it.
I'm doing #2 now and it's even harder on a personal level but at least my children aren't being exposed to it.
You're damned either way but I feel where children are involved, #2 is the only choice I could love with personally.
not for anyone but elders ;-) - the elders received this document during the last series of elder schools.
not to be shared with anyone.
it tells you how well you should not cooperate and rather let your children die and even if there is a court order to continue harassing doctors.
Thanks Anony Mous

Ah that gave me a much needed laugh.
thw wts likes to play games with their statistics.
one interesting but truly tragic is the number of jwhovah's witnesses who commit suicie.. now i suspect that if a person commits suicide shortly before or after they are disfellowshipped then the elders would say that person wasn't a witness or that they had done something so terrible that they were too guilty to admit it and by their action of committing suicide they pretty much declared they were no longer a jw.. yup fancy talk to make sure any crap didn't fall on them.. so my question.. do you know of cases like this?
if so then can you answer a few more questions.. had this person been dfed or in real danger of being dfed or whatever the equivalent is if they were never baptized?.
I can think of 3.
yup it's official.
i will be a speaker at the international cultic studies association's confernece in montreal canada july 5-7 2012 you may find me asking for some specific information over the next couple of months like this one suicide - how many do you know within the jws.. the focus of my lecture will be on the invisible victims, such as those who are dfed, ubms (unbelieving mates), children raised in a home where one parent is a jw and the other isn't , people who get involved with jws only to find too late how much of a problem it will be in the relationship and the impact on these family members.
issues of suicide, depression, relationship breakdown and who knows what else i will find.. i do have to put limits on it.
That's fantstic news Lady Lee. It's a bit far for me to come but I will be happy to help with your research.

Do yourself a favour and set a time limit now. A cut off date when you will leave regardless. I stayed too long trying to help people, caused myself more pain and stress and they shun me now anyway.
