Was looking at my childhood book "From Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained" I found something interesting.
by Still Totally ADD ini was showing a friend of mine what kind of books my parents allowed me to read when i was very young.
no children books that was age related but the so called orange paradise book was my only children book i had.
she was taken back on how violent it was and showing little kids being killed by god was just unspeakable.

Actually walked up to a door once as a 15 year old and a young couple were doing the wild thing in the living room with the front door open. Good times.

It is rare in this life that something is "always" the best or worst, etc. We all have unique situations. Personally, if I would have disassociated when I left, there would be a lot of people still actively in the organization that are now out. Due to the fact that many "JWs" continued to think of me as a "JW" and an elder, I was able to have a level of influence I would not have otherwise had. Family relationships were also easier. This is a personal decision each person has to make, and its not for anyone else to second guess in my view. That said, its not something to be decided on a whim or based on emotion. Simply weigh the pros and cons, and make the call that is best in your situation.

My suggestion: Don't do it. Don't play their game. Ignore their rules. Simply don't see the upside with the strategy. Just distance yourself. They will figure it out soon enough and shun you anyway.

The undue influence is more related to the Watchtower and its members. With respects to the medical community, its more complex, but still problematic and troubling imo.

I can see a number of problems with these guidelines. There is certainly much useful information, but some serious deficiencies as well. While much can be said in terms of the benefits of respecting personal belief, and cooperating with individuals in their exercise of their beliefs; the level of cooperation that is readily apparent between Watchtower officials and the authors of these guidelines is deeply troubling. Asking someone to reject certain types of blood transfusions (and permit many others) is a very serious matter. Thousands of lives hang in the balance.
Medical ethicists and AJWRB (ajwrb.org) have for nearly two decades shed light on the level of coercion, duress and undue influence imposed by Watchtower on members to enforce compliance. The notion that a JW (particularly one raised in the religion) possess the capacity to make a free and informed choice is inconceivable to anyone who is fully informed.
WT officials continue to expand their influence in the medical community to try and mainstream their irrational views on the use of blood products. As the larger story becomes fully known, they are likely to regret their efforts at accommodation.
