Love it that they are having a "cash crunch". Then they say "younger Witnesses are studying and securing jobs for themselves". GOOD FOR THEM!! (Worth shouting about). Which would maybe mean that the younger ones with better education, better jobs are NOT contributing to pick up any slack in the coffers. Wonderful.

Ideas for letter to Dr about blood card blackmail and what it means?
by purrpurr infollowing on from another op who brought to our attention the new draconian blood card policy .i'm planning on visiting my dr to discuss this issue in advance.
i'm planning on telling her how jw's and possibly me will be blackmailed into signing this but really won't want the hlc involved and may want blood if needed.. i'm thinking about writing a letter that could be kept on file for future reference outling these issues, what do you think i should say in it?
ideas gratefully received thanks x.

How can they think they can even involve themselves in anything private between you and your doctor? There is something in this country called the HIPPA law which prevents them from discussing anything with your doctor. And who heck calls the elders if they are on the way to the hospital, or why tell them at all if you are having a scheduled surgery? Are there really so many who feel the need to tell elders every detail of their lives? Sad, really. Next they will be wanting to read over everyone's will to make sure nothing has been left to a DFed family member. -

I like how it looks in other people but not for myself. A question specially for women.
by StarTrekAngel ini like how it looks in other people but not for myself.. this is a phrase i have heard often from my wife.
now i am to a point where i am trying to figure it out if this is something all women do or say.
i can understand how you would say this if you were talking about a type of clothing that doesn't go with your figure, except that you may add the disclaimer... "if i had that figure i would wear this".

Why does this crap happen to me?
by Darkknight757 ini swear i must have bad luck or just happen to be in the wrong place at the right time or maybe i'm just blowing this out of proportion.. so the other night my wife and i are packing the car to head home from vacation in the smokeys in tennessee when i get the brilliant idea to take out the garbage at 9:30 at night.
i walk in the dark to the caged garbage can with a flashlight, put the trash away and walk back to the house.
afterward i decide to load up the car.

Well that story is better than looking at someone's vacation pictures! What a hoot, you gave me my laugh for today. Hey, maybe you can tell that story at the next assembly as an example of what could happen if you choose not to take the kiddies to Bethel for vacation. -

when you are fortunate enough to be in the presence of a jw penis you must take care to show the proper respect for it!

OMG purrpurr, that is hilarious! Makes you think Taliban and burkas, yes? Never forget soooooo long ago when I actually was in service groups when one of the women would sit there with a hanky on her head if no penis showed up to conduct before going d2d. 😂 -

Military service in Mexico and party affiliation in Malawi... Any letters from BOE?
by Billzfan23 indoes anyone have a copy of a letter to the boe in mexico or malawi from the 80's/90's - (it can be in spanish or some other language) from back in those days regarding organizational policy and direction?
of course the cult teaches that it's a sin to be involved in politics and the military.
in mexico - every young man was expected to complete a year of military service.

How embarrassing to have to place this with the public. But I guess they have to do something to keep the children interested. -

As a JW: major personal blunders
by Hecce into make mistakes is human, to make mistakes dictated by faith is also human but foolish.
i am pretty sure that as jws we all have made decisions that later on we regretted, in some cases they have been minor and in others they had profound effect in our life; major items were like blood and education related.
i am going to post one decision that was a major disaster for the person involved and if you know of something similar please contribute.. in a spanish speaking country where "machismo" was the norm and it was common for a man to have several mistresses, there was a sister married to a wealthy man and they had four children.

JW TV - Britain Branch Report
by Listener inalthough it is titled as "britain branch report" it's not much of a report.
it only goes for just over 6 minutes and half of it is some 'wild talk' about romeo and juliette, i say wild talk because it has nothing to do with the british branch and if there was any point to it, it's lost on me.. anyway, about the only thing said that is of any importance was this (at the 2.20 mark) -.
"the governing body, very kindly, have given us permission to continue construction once we have reviewed the scope of the building so we hope to be underway very soon".

Wonder if any who regularly collect the magazines from him are undercover apostates who promptly deposit them in the nearest trash bin?
