  i happened to come across this video at the beginning of the week.

  you feel so sorry for this poor woman who experienced csa and then the hardheartedness of the elders (what's new there) when she needed genuine love and help.. https://fb.watch/j1qacgxphi/.

  ""Pray more and get over it"". Sounds about right. Like that ""praying"" is the grand end all or fix all. Cop - out.

  New blood card

  by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  all elders just got letters about this new blood card system .

  “language-coordinating congregations will receive separate parcel(s) containing the revised durable power of attorney for health care (dpa-e) for all congregation(s) in their literature group.“.

  my questions are - why the revision and what has been revised?.

  ""I am not an expert in U.K law, but I don't think this card will be recognised in law as a Power of Attorney, it may, probably does, in the USA.

  Do the very parochial and closeted GB realise this ? ""

  I'm no expert at all at this either but,,,usually what the Borg does,,it bites itself in the behind. Let the doubters on the Borg ponder ''is this God's organization?''

  i came across an xjw post on redditt from a rn.

  she states that nearly every jw she ever treated was on anti-depressants or anti-psychotic drugs:.

  https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/f35vaa/just_about_every_jw_i_come_across_is_on/ i once read somewhere that 1 in 5 jw's were on anti-depressants, but i couldn't find any documentation.

  "Do I forget anything?"

  Just more unnecessary stress and undue influence result in one's insecurities, Not adequate enough.

  Most children of Jehovah's Witnesses followers in Japan have been whipped, survey shows

  by Rattigan350 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/03/15/national/jehovahs-witnesses-whipping/.

  the most cited reason was “napping or talking during congregations.” others included “answering back to parents” and “playing with a schoolmate.”.

  some respondents said they have been suffering depression as a result of whipping.. “i still cannot forget the sight of children screaming after they were taken into a large room at a congregation when i was a child,” a 44-year-old victim said, stressing that jehovah’s witnesses should reflect on what followers have done.. in february, a group of lawyers started supporting those second-generation followers.. in a statement issued on march 1, the japanese branch of jehovah’s witness said it does not accept child abuse.. https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20230315/p2a/00m/0na/006000c.

  "it is a wonder that anyone sticks with the religion/corporation when they get older."

  It's probably because of being born - in and it's deeply ingrained. Or, because most of one's family is all ''in''' the Borg.

  Stan...I believe when the CO is making his rounds,,,the 2 weeks prior to his visit the week of his visit,,,,and a week or 2 after his visit they conduct "shepparding"" or cold - drop in visits on 'selected so - called weak witnesses'. The purpose of such ""drop-in visits'' is to keep the rank and file in line with protocol,,policies and procedures. They will hound you about blood - cards, your entertainment,,association and whatever they can get mud on you and take it from there.

  What Will JW's Do If They Find Themselves Still Conscious after Death?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all know that despite many scriptures to the contrary, jw's believe that when they die, their consciousness will cease.

  my question is this: what will be the likely reaction of jw's if they find themselves conscious after death?.

  TonusOH;

  ""I guess it has to be that detailed now, for legal reasons.""

  Of course. What other reason would there be?

  When you're always told the big "A'' is coming soon, not measuriing up, you're ''bloodguilty'' you can't watch this or do that, and mile - long list of can't do's,,,it's no wonder why people get depressed.

  during the height of the pandemic all elders had to report to the co anyone who was struggling with bills or who couldn’t pay the rent.

  the co reported it to the branch.. i don’t know what happens next.

  do the branch help at all?

  "I think somewhere on this forum there was recently posted a "letter" to the elders with a list of "social services" to share with the needy. No mention of applying to WT.""

  The hypocrisy never stops. The Borg then encourages the sheeple to rely on the governments,,,which the Borg condemns.
