we all know that this cult will drive those trying to leave to desperate measures, and today by brother was very nearly one of those statistics.
he slashed his thigh with a kitchen knife and was bleeding out until he called the police.. i got a call on my way home from work from a police officer, coincidentally it was one of my old friends from school who's now a cop.
he told me my brother is in hospital after an attempted suicide and has lost some blood but will be ok. but i should get to the hospital as he's asking for me.
So sorry PE. F*@k(ng cult is right. It makes one shit storm after another.
Having any ailment in this cult is made more difficult because they are always bringing it up in a way to make the so-called "victim" feel helpless, and remind him or her of his or her challenges.
I admire Aspergers people; they are incredibly talented.
Hoping for the best for you and your brother. You did great just ignoring the goons, and only asking for their names (practice makes perfect :().
Thank you for speaking up Magnum. I wish warmth when you are in your car in the cold.... damn.
Always appreciate your insights. Please keep posting.
could someone please tell me why my image is either sideways or upside down.
i feel an utter fool asking this question but i can't find any help anywhere.
sorry..
Thanks for the laughs!
I would love it if everyone down under to turned their image/avatar upside down. Please?
i would like to outline what exactly this religion is now because i've lost track of all the changes on here.
this forum's my only source of information as my family still-in shun me.
so what do jws do now?.
Wow do they have to get a sick note form the doctor?
Not technically, but it wouldn't hurt I suppose. Wait. It may hurt. If the elder/C.O./M.S. you give it to gets offended that you thought they would need a note, then it would hurt.
i'm at the recorded meeting right now.
trying to hide my disgust sitting up front listening to geoffrey jackson quibble about the pharisaical minutai of sanctification vs. vindication.
the audience is thrilled that they now have 'permission' to say god's name can be vindicated.
Here's a weird one:
One of the last announcements was that all of the society's corporate shareholders and their guests would be given a free meal afterwards. 🤔
Yeah, it was not the brothers and sisters invited to the shareholders meeting, it was the society's corporate shareholders. Mike and Kim caught that one, and please don't dis me for listening to them! :)

A sister was recently concerned with an "inactive" one. The "inactive" was listening on the phone, and "even turns in time!" Still labeled inactive which says a lot. Judge much? Oh, also, gossip much? How does she know the "inactive" one turns in time?
Xan: You get branded spiritually sick even if you are considered "worthy", at least by most (90%). It is how they've been "mentally regulated"(brainwashed). Also, they may come and "shepherd" you to find out your "story" to judge if you are worthy of being on the phone. Gosh, wish I could say more, but cannot at this time. Apologies.
Thank you for your comment Scratchme.
i guess this would be a good question to ask.
does jw org have goons they send after ppl to threaten them?
or to inflict violence on?
I guess this would be a good question to ask. Does JW Org have goons they send after ppl to threaten them? Or to inflict violence on? Or to kill? Such as Scientology and Mormons do?
Here's a video that comes to mind:

As to killing, look into the Hospital Liaison Committees.
this just in from the 2017 annual meeting:.
1. watchtowers and awakes won't be released regularly, at least three watchtower and awakes per year.
6 magazines a year.. 2. a new book is being released: remain in god's love, more of an update like how they did for the what does the bible really teach book.
How many elderly will be able to see the annual report now? Methinks this is about keeping them in the dark so their wills go to watchtower.
I'll personally make copies of it to share.
it has been 4 1/2 weeks since i had back surgery.
i had l4and l5 fused, disk was suck out replaced with a artificial disk and a bracket or what they called a cage with 4 screws holding it all together.
i went in on a tuesday and was out of the hospital the next day.
Get well soon. Keep up the walking, as I'm sure you will. Thank you so much for the info on opiates, that was intense.
Hopefully cannabis will be legal everywhere soon, I imagine that would help. That is if people could replace cannabis for the opiates, but if you are still in the hospital...
i know wifibandit will post the pdf soon, this is just a snack for you guys and girls.... .
FedUpJW:
YES!!! Love it!!!
