Turns out NOT A SINGLE DROP OF BLOOD WAS USED at any time before, during or after my operation. The procedures and efficiencies have progressed tremendously in the past 60 years,
They have, and blood isn't used for no reason as it's an expensive and scarce resource.
Not every operation and recovery goes exactly to plan, especially where the elderly are concerned, and when blood is needed, it's needed.

It make me sick how she makes sure her non JW children can not make life saving choices for her.
I certainly don't agree with the no blood policy, but I do feel strongly that we all have the individual right to believe what we want and make our own decisions.
Offer her advice, tell her calmly how they feel but understand that it has still got to be her choice and then respect it. Don't let it ruin their relationship.

The popularity fad of home-schooling!
by stuckinarut2 ini know this has been discussed over the years on this forum, but i just had to post this again!.
it seems that the popular fad amongst the "spiritual" ones in the local circuits is to home school their children instead of sending them to school.. now to clarify, we are in a very nice area of semi rural australia .
one with very community minded, and strong family values.

My father was never a JW, but a criminal on the run, with two kids to help him seem like a nice single dad. I didn't know that about him until i was almost 40. Anyway, he took us out of school. He bought lots of all kinds of books and we had to read on our own. He said it was because "taxes are immoral and the public schools supported by taxation are immoral."
Just read your earlier post in the thread and I'm imagining you as the child of Bonnie and Clyde. :D

@Landy-------you missed out about learning how to masturbate.
I think there were enough wankers at the Kingdom Hall to teach me how to do that.

Why so few XJWs online?
by StephaneLaliberte innot too long ago, i posted a topic where i pointed out that there are about 1 million xjws alive right now.
that number only represented the disfellowshipped ones... didn't account for those who had become publishers and left or anyone else who got hurt by that group by proxy.
so, why are there so few of them online?

That sounds really good and I'm sure the parents put a lot of effort into it but there's already such places where kids can go to do all those things.
They're called schools.
The social side effects of going to school are as important as the academic goals. Tell me which home schooled teenager learned to undo a bra strap with one hand? Got into a playground fight? Dropped water bombs on a teacher's head from the third floor? Turned a teacher's reliant robin over in the car park (only the uk ones will get that)? Got absolutely mortal on smuggled vodka during a chemistry lesson and had to be collected by very irate parents? Looking longingly at a girl you've fancied for 3 weeks and now know a love like no one ever has before you?
These are all rites of passage and to deny a child those experiences is a shame.

When one the GB heads of the JWS says that pursing higher education is like playing Russian Roulette with a gun to your head, people listen and you know he's got to be right .
Some parents may even think about their once JW relative who sought out a higher level of education in secular college and they dropped out of the JW cult.
I know - having an education can be a dangerous thing. Especially as by the time you've worked once round the Ministry School scorecard (Repetition for emphasis anyone?) that's easily the equivalent to a university degree!
