  do you tell doc ur father doesn't want blood

  by cobweb in

  here's a hypothetical: you find your elderly jw father - a lifelong witness, unconscious in his home - you are alone with him.

  you ring an ambulance.

  at the hospital the doc says they need to give him a blood transfusion straight away or he'll die.

  I would tell them that he doesn’t want blood. I would not want him to wake up and get very angry with me if he received blood against his wishes.

  Flipper, Maybe you want to try Amtrak? I know it is not that fast. About 75-100 mph.

  By the way, I don't have any phobias that I can think of.

  Are Beards becoming more acceptable due to decline in membership?

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  i noticed a young brother with a beard being given more privelages within our hall.

  when he first grew his beard, he lost his privelages.

  but more and more recently he has been helping out a lot more.. the cobe is old school and a stickler for rules, but with the hall becoming more empty these days, and the need for young brothers, he seems to have relaxed on this particular watchtower/man made rule.

  He might have a medical reason not to shave. An Elder in my old congregation in Texas had beard. He can't shave due to medical reasons. When I attended the very first midweek meeting in Texas, I was stunned that the elder with a beard gave a service meeting part. One of the sisters explained why he can't shave.

  So, is it the publicity, or act itself that "brings reproach on Jehovah's name"?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  as we all sadly know, a common expression used by the society and elders in cases of abuse, or scandals, is "if you talk about this, you will bring reproach on jehovah's name!".

  this is uttered in order to deter making something known.. but really, if it is a case of abuse, is not the act itself the thing that brings "reproach on jehovah"?.

  making it known is not the problem.. rather hiding it, or not disclosing it to authorities is the thing that brings reproach!.

  Faded for almost 10 years and still getting random calls

  by ctrwtf in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi all, just wondering if anyone is in the same boat.

  wifey and i dropped off the face of the jw planet almost a decade ago and still get 3 or 4 visits a year mostly when we are not dressed or expecting visitors.

  it's really annoying because we are both wondering why they don't get the hint already.. we don't want to move because we really enjoy where we live and both have careers that keep us in the area.. i've asked politely that they stop calling but like the "godfather" they keep "pulling me in.".

  Finallysomepride, it is ok for JW to collect all kinds of bible including the Koran and they want better understanding of their religions so they can be prepared for their next Return Visits. Of course, It is not Ok for them to collect Apostate Books which speaks against the Organization.
