I am ashamed to say I would have watched my child die rather than make Jehovah sad.

In All Honesty Would You Have NOT Given Blood To Your Child If He or She Needed it?
by minimus inas a "faithful witness", i never had to deal with this on a personal level.
i imagine the pressure must be extreme with the elders and others "supporting" you to do the right thing.. do you think you would have given blood to your family member, especially your child if you were in that situation..

Apostates are blown out of the water by an elder's response to my e-mail
by never a jw inthe following are two emails (one mine, one from an elder) that are part of an exchange regarding the unfairness of shunning.
he is an elder and a substitute of the c.o.
he comes from a "highly decorated" family of jw's.

Others have stopped caring about the public in general and no longer witness about God's truths as they used to before.
Caring about the public in general is not allowed unless it is in the form of offering magazines.
Anything more and you are likely to get counselled by an elder!!!

Is this desperation?
A quote lifted from another thread
A spokesman for the church in Australia, Sydney solicitor Vincent Toole, dismissed the allegations and said shunning was a"myth." Read more: http://www.theage.com.au/national/jehovahs-witnesses-a-cruel-cult-20130315-2g5x3.html#ixzz2NbJ83

JWs Lack of Love and Feelings
by jemba ini have noticed the extreme lack of love in this group of people who preach love, love, love.. we recently had serious floods come through our area and the jws couldnt have cared less.
our 'worldly' friends did sooo much for us though.
raising money, giving gifts, cards, accomodation and so much support and hard work.. i personally think jws are one of the most insensitive, uncaring religions around.. three religious groups were absolutely wonderful during the flooding of our area.

sue is married to a much older man, john and they have two boys.

I cannot believe that this elder knows of the wrongdoings and has admitted this couple are a law unto their own and he will do nothing to stop this.
Sadly, I can believe the elder knows of wrongdoing and is not prepared to do anything to support the innocent party. I feel for your friend because I too believed JWs were honest until I learned personally and the hard way that some most defnitely are not.
When the corrupt elder changed congregations and almost immediately was made an elder again in his new one I realised it was either possible to fool the holy spirit or holy spirit had no part in the appointment of elders.
It leaves a very nasty taste once you have got over the initial disbelief that it even happened in the first place.
