  JW Woman dies refusing blood....

  by iknowall558 in

  wendy cloete louwwe lost a sister in our congregation today, had severe depression and tried to take her own life.

  sad thing is if the doctors stopped being petty and insisting on bloody and just gave her alternative blood volumiser sooner she might have been fine.

  it took the elders hours to get her transferred to a new hospital.

  Do you know what only makes this even sadder?????

  Because she attempted suicide...she won't "qualify" for a memorial at the Kingdom Hall.......despite her stand on blood.

  Yep.....she is a 'loser' in their eyes anyway.

  It just gets sicker and sicker.

  Are any of you addicted to your new sexual revolution?

  now that i am free from my bonds to an organization dictating to me what i can and cannot do (in bed included), i cannot stop.....i feel like an addict on coke or something, i have been with my bf for eight months now, and perhaps it is a combination of the newness of a sexual relationship with the release from my spiritual bonds, but....i feel like a cat in heat 24/7.

  of course my bf is not complaining even though i see he is physically tired parts of the day that i actually leave him alone (to go to work or sleep after hours of lovemaking).

  i wonder if anyone else has gone through similar experience.

  this is a really fascinating topic for me.....mainly because i'm single lol.

  but what was it like to navigate through the waters of other people while getting into relationships?

  LOL....great stuff people......I'm just getting back online.

  Ynot,

  You're killing me.....LOL, hilarious. I love it. First...... I was roaring about the Uncle Freddy's oral sex comments....AWESOME....I can't stop laughing....however, no worries there..... I have a Master's Degree in that area ;) ....... and I enjoy giving :)

  I was more curious what other people's experiences were. To be honest, I love the ladies..... and the only thing that has seemed awkward was the lack of college. But then again, that bothers me too (I have no idea why this is in bold)....... that is one thing I have a problem with.....

  I've wondered if the other gentlemen have had any awkward experiences meeting people after being indoctrinated....especially if they were raised a JW.

  I don't plan on talking about it.....but I'm not naive enough to think it isn't somewhat of a hurdle to get over.

  Misery,

  Lets just say I LOVE being an "adult" now....dating an attractive woman no matter her background is like being let out of jail.....

  I've been dating quite a bit....but most of them were fringe 'sisters'..... a few were non-JWs......I would love to hear how difficult it was for you....or not difficult....and what were the challenges and the rewards.....

  To help my cousin..maybe if you used to be an elder..

  i have a cousin who has been away from the meetings 5 years.

  she was baptized only a year before becoming "inactive" and moved to another state.

  then after some time she moved back to the area all the family is from, but wouldn't say a word of anything having to do with the religion.

  To Doubtingbro,

  You're right about marrying an 'unbeliever'....however, they are likely coming after her to extract a confession of immorality during courtship.....or especially when they were living under the same roof.

  Ezekiel 34 ............ I just keep seeing it everyday.

  Hereiam,

  First of all, .....sad isn't it??? They have 'all the power'.....and the wield it.

  I'm a former elder....recently fading. I have a great deal of experience on JC's (unfortunately).....Here is my advice:

  Tell her to cease ALL contact. Do not answer letters. Do NOT answer phone calls. If necessary, tell her to make a new rule for herself: if the number comes up on caller I.D. as one she doesn't know....do NOT ANSWER IT. If any JW outside of the immediate family she wants to keep make an attempt to contact her, do NOT answer them in any way! Especially not your mother!

  What state do you live in? Check to see if their are harrassment or stalker laws. If, for some reason, she comes into contact with them.....(she should avoid them at all cost)...... she can say "I don't know what you're talking about......do you have 2 witnesses to this?" If they say yes, she can say "according to Matt. 18 they can approach me.....".......but she should otherwise DENY anything.

  If they press her on "do you want to be a JW?"......tell her to respond with "I'll answer that if you can answer this: According to Gal. 6:1, if you felt I was making a false step, you were supposed to shepherd me YEARS ago........ why didn't you do that? I have nothing further to say to you..... My attorney has kept track of every phone call and letter..... the next effort to contact me will trigger him into action. I am going to let him know you attempted to communicate with me today. Have a nice day."

  Avoid them at all cost. But the hint of a legal complication will send the vast majority of inexperienced 'elders' running......
