just recently i explained to my parents and my wife in detail, why i would accept blood or red, white blood cells, platelets or plasma in a medical emergency.
i showed them the inconsistencies and flaws about blood fractions and also the biblical reasons that show clearly that jehovah and jesus do not want a jehovah's witness to die because of that wrong doctrine.. my parents reacted surprised.
they are both about 50 years in the "truth.
Daniel they can DF you for literally ANYTHING they don't like. I have seen it happen my friend. There doesn't need to be anything in the KS10 Shepherd book.
If you even think something divergent from the WT you are already an apostate according to their definition.
finally got it up on youtube...the title right at the moment is just "grandma" but it's going to change to "grandma pleads with jehovah's witness granddaughter.".

That site is strange but hey who cares lol. Got it!
as a young teenager, i would look at "apostate" books at the city library.
i was always intrigued as to what was sooo bad and other than a few writings of some that seemed like they hated the witnesses, i would clandestinely look at literature, especially in "christian" bookstores.. it took years for me to finally disconnect.
i will say that ray franz' books enlightened me the most!.
Reading CoC and Captive to a Concept was all she wrote...
But when I was a hardcore pio-sneer years ago I was given anti-JW literature a couple times and I actually turned my head and tore it up over a dumpster and never even looked at it...I wish I had!!!
for me it was the book!
it opened my eyes.
i started it thinking it would just enlighten me about how the organisation works.
Threads like these will always come up from time to time since Ray's books are timeless for anyone escaping a cult, especially the Cult of WT.
Thanks TornApart for the OP.

brother of the hawk, newly enlightened & gojira, recorded an elder's meeting on 5/7/03.
both does a great job of defending me and making the elders look foolish!.

Yep they just took it down at 2:20am this morning for, "Rejected (content inappropriate)".
It had almost 7,000 views and nearly 200 comments on it. It can now be found on at least two other YouTube channels, one of which is here:
from the video description:.
a heartbreaking situation is played out every day for many grandparents that are former jehovah's witnesses or mormons: their precious grandchildren grow up without knowing them, and in some cases the little ones are told that their grandma or grandpa hates god and is serving satan and will be killed at armageddon.. .
why would such a terrible thing be done?
But it does appear that a fair number of active Mormons shun/exclude former members.
i thought i sent a goodbye message on fb to two jdubs that i used to hang out with.
it sounded like goodbye to me, without saying goodbye.
here's what i wrote:.
I've been asked that exact same question a couple times. As was mentioned, I basically said: (Brackets are so you can insert what you're comfortable with and applies to you)
"I never left [God] [Jehovah] [Jesus] and I never stopped being a good [Dad], [friend], [person], [wife], etc."
