Excellent job of standing up for your little brother! You were able to educate the doctors on the way elders are manipulative and overbearing. All medical professionals need to know the real abuses of the religion.
Well done!

we all know that this cult will drive those trying to leave to desperate measures, and today by brother was very nearly one of those statistics.
he slashed his thigh with a kitchen knife and was bleeding out until he called the police.. i got a call on my way home from work from a police officer, coincidentally it was one of my old friends from school who's now a cop.
he told me my brother is in hospital after an attempted suicide and has lost some blood but will be ok. but i should get to the hospital as he's asking for me.

i awoke in the middle of the night to banging on my door.
i went to the door half asleep and asked who was there.
i heard “police.” my dog was going crazy, so i slipped outside to talk to them.
Well, I awoke from a nightmare tonight thinking that the police busted down my door. It was almost like the Watchtower's lovely video of the stormtroopers raiding the place where the dubs were hiding. I couldn't get back to sleep after that one!
I still have not heard from the person that called the police to check on me. I just love having my compound PTSD flashbacks. Thanks again, whoever you are.

i think i made a thread like this a couple of years ago but i can't remember what was said and i'd rather have a new discussion anyway.. what's different in the wts since i left it behind in 2006?.
sbf,
You bad boy! There is no Book Study anymore, they folded it into the CLAM (Chistian Life and Ministry) midweek meeting. There are only 2 meeting days a week now.

I just bought Neil Young's latest CD recorded in 1976 called Hitchhiker. It has my favorite version of Pocahontas:

pe,
I am so sorry about your brother. I am also saddened that your brother is stuck with your JW family acting that way. How soon is he old enough to move out? I wish there was another option for him.
Hang in there!

pepperheart,
Thanks for the link to Freerice. I just fed someone by playing.

I still have not received a call from the person that notified the police out of "concern" for my welfare. I have figured out who it was, and why they did it on that particular evening. A phone call would have straightened things out much better than the police. It was a waste of taxpayer's dollars, as they sent 3 squad cars to check on me.
I would still like a call from the person that did it, to explain themselves. I doubt that I will get it.

greetings, lovers of both the sacred and the profane!.
i posted on the gilead song thread, where a tune of unimpeachable wholesomeness was wafting through the fetid air of my chamber.
if you can get through the annoying vehicle ad, the famous scene from the film crossroads will turn you off forever to saccharine, gagacious music.. happy listening .
CoCo,

I think the police have to wait until retirement to get checks from the Federal government.
