I agree fully.
If any jw outed any patient here they would have their arse stung well and proper. and, the word would be out they would NEVER get any such job again.
this subject has been brought up before.
the governing body and watchtower have repeatedly encouraged jws to show loyalty to the organization to "keep the congregation clean" by reporting wrongdoing to the elders.. i know directly of two cases.
two jws working in the records department of our local hospital "outed" 3rd gens 1st husband to the local elders when he and his mistress sought medical treatment together for stds.

did you have one or two brother with way too long prayers in your congregation?
when i was a child we had a brother who would go on and on after the watchtower study for at least five minutes.
many elderly sisters just sat down and a lot were complaining after the long desired amen..
They all seemed to do it.
Final prayers at any convention were an exercise in suffering as the praye-er had his big moment in the sun and proceeded to sum up the entire program as if god needs reminding.
It ever reminded me of Jesus saying of the Pharisees who would go on and on so as to be noticed by men.
so i started growing a beard 2 weeks ago and i am making some nice progress.
it has been noticed by many in my workplace and they give me great compliments.
my skin would get all bumpy from the constant shaving and i am so glad to be done with that form of cult control.. last year (i was pimo then) i worked in the video department at the regional convention.
I grew my beard as I got sick of shaving, the bloody neck, the bits i missed,and also a beard looks manly.
Manly! good grief we cant have brothers looking ...manly..
i know i would be miserable if i could remember all my dead relatives.
all my dead children, parents all my worldly family members and friends, yes and the billions of other people too.
all the people jehovah will be killing off in the years to come.
"And the former things will not be called to mind, Nor will they come up into the heart".
Think of those who went through any war. No they dont want to constantly remember the events but they must remain as part of the human experience especially if some arse-hole starts beating drums for another go then they can be pulled into line. Otherwise what is the point of the whole damn thing as no one will recall anything and can then go on to repeat it all over and over.
I like being able to treat my memories of the wt the same gone but not forgotten..
my pimi wife listens to a lot of the meetings on the phone with the speaker on.
when i am watching tv i hear the meetings in the background.
i just cringe with how a witless can't give a comment without having said jehovah at least two times.
same here. I was so often annoyed by these righteous ones who would 'jehovah' us to despair.
The same occurs in the various videos of people who have left the org and tell their story..
how about something to take your mind off of anything negative?
today i adopted a new puppy.
i already have a cat named loki, and now my new puppy's name is thor.
Loki the Norse god of mischief.

That the callees in the US dont know about the CARC is not surprising. Its been my experience that unless 'it' happens in the US then people in the US dont know and dont wish to know anything about..'it'.
There would have to be an inquiry on the scale of the CARC to be undertaken in the US.
As the JW make up only apx 1% of people in each state of the US tragically an undertaking on the scale of the CARC will never happen there.
The Australian Government has failed to get the WT to sign on to the National Redress Scheme to compensate victims. If the govt were to threaten to remove the charitable status of the wt in Australia they would soon sign up.
i am over the moon today!.
