  Carla is right

  my dr did axactly that

  staff knows too that if they view a patient file it’s logged, and if done without authorization they will likely lose their job

  My dr told me this cause there was jw working in same office

  In my hall we had talk recently about blood cards, said Cong. only had 4 blood cards on file from over 100 publishers. Pretty obvious the “friends” don’t want big brother policing their personal medical choices

  Trouble in paradise!

  by Confusedalot in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just for fun, some thoughts about the paradise teaching:.

  will all the carnivores be transformed anatomically?

  if a lion is transformed into a herbivore would it still be a lion?

  to date JWism has defined my life and i hate that TRUTH

  by oompa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  and i am finding the adjustment to the real world far more difficult than i ever imagined...i f...it has been about five years since i totally woke up to the fraudulant nwt and then all my other doubts i had carried for years were proved true as well.

  but almost all of my few friends are exjw or slack jw's and i feel so isolated...my sons friends are mostly exjw too but not their gf's and they have way more normal friends .

  how have you done at replacing lifelong friends and family?

  cheers my friend!

  Another example of the smothering and high control nature of JW husbands

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have noticed another popular pattern of behaviour amongst witnesses in recent years.. many, and i mean lots of ones with instagram accounts have closed the wife's account, and have started a "couple's" account instead.

  also, for families.

  the children's accounts have been closed, and the husband starts a "family account".. it is mainly on the husband's device, and seemingly under his control.

  I disagree with you completely

  families members are being more and more isolated by "private" social media. Creating family accounts would encourage family time, conversation and a better sense of family

  All families should do this, JW, catholic, atheist, Muslim or otherwise

  You should stop letting anger control your life and quit looking for the "bad" in everything.

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  has anyone else heard this?

  a poster on another thread said it's a new rule brought in at this years convention.. last year they were told to shun even non df people and now this?

  a religion cant force someone where to plonk their ass surely?.

  I did not hear this either

  i have noticed it more strictly enforced, even refusing entry until after the song and in the "back room" then leaving immediately after prayer

  ive also noticed announcements now when someone is no longer a publisher and no longer a pioneer

  i don't seem to remember these being announced off the platform before

  Evolutionist on their deathbed.

  by Nimble duck in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i would really like to read the thoughts of an evolutionist as they lie on their deathbed.

  their "honest to nogod" thoughts.

  their terrors.

  Imagine the theist fearing eternity in hell?

  what an awful thought

  im not ready to die yet, but as an old man years from now I don't fear death.

  I actually have quite a bit of peace about that

  theists talk about this stuff to fluff up their egos. They laugh about others dying. Very "Christian".

  What Was/Is The Dumbest JW Belief?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think the finished mystery book probably contains the stupidest beliefs ever recorded!

  almost any prophecy publication but especially anything to do with revelation, is unbelievable!

  Im "Going To Die In Armageddon"

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  3 missed calls from my jw brother last night.

  i didnt answer because he's actively shunning me and when he does ring it always to preach to me about how we're so close to the end and how i should "humble myself before the mighty hand of god" .

  he then texts me saying "we need to talk".

  Yes it's amazing that jw's think we actually WANT to live forever

  i can think of no worse torture

  not only will god strike us dead if we don't kiss His ass all day long for eternity, has any dub actually put thought into living eternally?

  think about it... It's one thing to live a thousand years, but what about a million? What about a trillion years? How about a trillion trillion trillion years??

  it is literally the most asinine thing ever promoted as a "good" thing

  if hell were real, hell would be eternal life
