I love dogs and cats.
But when I was 13, going door to door with my best friend then, a vicious German Sheperd was barking like crazy and the old lady put him in the back yard. Well, he came storming through the house, breaks down the front screen door and goes for my throat. I instinctively put my left arm up to protect me. And then chomp, he bites my arm. My dad came running from across the street. We call the police, have the dog impounded, I was taken to our doctor, who cleans the wound, and puts a Q-tip 1 1/2 inches into the puncture wound before bandaging my arm. Yep I still have the scar.
But I wasn't afraid of dogs. I would still take the doors with dogs barking in the rurals years later.
I'm just glad I don't have to be protected by the Service Angel anymore. Thank dog.

What is your experience as to buying Crisis of Conscience?
by Goldminer in.
i've read a few very interesting stories about people's experiences when they decided to purchase coc.i'd like to share mine and read yours also.. in 1999,not long after we purchased our first computer i started reading material about jw's.before long,i got really interested in the ray franz story because even up here in northern ontario,i had heard about the apostasy of 1980.in the fall of '99 my wife decide to take a college course(bucking the jw trend),and she would stay at her sister's place during the week.one day i called a christian book store to see if they could get me this book.i was very nervous,changed my name and i wouldn't give them my phone number.i told them i'd call back in a few weeks to make sure they had it before i went in to pick it up.. when the day came,i picked up my courage by two hands and took off for my 40 mile drive to get my book.the book store is located in a small shopping mall,which had me really nervous that another jw might see me going in or out of the store.i walked in the mall looking around,making sure there was nobody in sight that i knew.when i walked in the store,i had cash ready in my hands,walked up to the counter,gave my fake name and the book i was purchasing.now i just had to walk and make it to the car and i was home free.. i know buying a book isn't that hard,i do it all the time,but at that time the implicationsof having this book in my possesion was tremendous.. anyways,it's been 5 1/2 years and still nobody here knows.the book has really opened my eyes and mind to the realities of the wts.i would definitely recommend this book to everyone here who has yet to read it.it's worth the effort to acquire it and will take away your fear of the watchdollar.

Its all about status in the congregation.
Yes, it would be humiliating to your step-daughter to have to "step down" and not hold such a high status. In the congregation being a full-time pioneer? is the highest status a sister? can achieve.
Kind of shows you how warped their thinking is. Poor thing. Slip her some cash and always show love and maybe you can begin to get her to think on her own. Especially how to use critical thinking in her life.

XQ, all your post on this thread is the biggest Bull Shit I have ever read. You are obvious speaking out your ass.
The Watchtower lawyers do not know the law, they don't practice in the real world. The people on the HLC are not medically trained. They are not trained in anything but to push WT policy. Doctors are not stiff necked, just people who demand to follow polies of a cult over standard medical care.
Thanks for the laugh today. And thank you for showing how you cannot reason but sprew WT policy.
Have fun in your world.
You could get disfellowshiped in some branches for taking some fractions up until june 15 watchtower
The Watchtower agreed to not disfellowship people for taking whole blood before the European Counsel or the WT would be labled as a cult. A letter was circulated in Europe concerning this matter back in the 1990's.
