I have learned that being part of the Borg that we do not learn how to create proper boundaries with JWs and loved ones closest to us. I think on a human level its good to help, but only give what you can and that can mean different things to so many people. I would sit down and figure out what is reasonable to help with and be honest and open-much easier said than done. I think we do not discuss the biggest issues in out lives as JWs we are taught to avoid thinking for ourselves and creating a life outside the Borg that has meaning. just my 2 cents.

Hello everyone,
I have yet to read about the contradictions in the JW teachings on blood, but I have personally witnessed one. I am a medical professional and have seen Hemopure administered for an active JW who did refuse a blood transfusion. Its not FDA approved here, but given in special life saving circumstances. Here is my question , and if you know or have researched it please let me know.
An active JW refuses blood and blood has many fractions including hemoglobin. Why cannot a JW get "human" hemoglobin , but it turn its fine to get hemopure ( in some cases) as its primary component is chemically stabilized "bovine hemoglobin" or HBOC 201. So.....bovine hemoglobin is okay? , but human is not ? Where is the logic in that?
Thoughts?

JWs have the most severe passive aggressive policies that I have ever come across, and for my whole life I have never agreed with any of it. This is certainly something to get upset about and I feel she did a good thing, and for some reason I feel like doing the same thing at Warwick! People suffering any type of emotional trauma need loving kindness and support, not shunning. I see more love and kindness in the " worldly " people around me as a whole. While I cannot judge anyone's heart, or motivation, how they think and what they say about others speak volumes as to their true intent and feelings. I have been in the truth my whole life-over 4 decades- served as an MS, parts at assemblies, meetings, aux pioneered. Overall I see those taking the lead as ones who have the least compassion and kindness for people both inside and outside the faith. My sister is a hard core pioneer for 20 years plus and she has 0 compassion for others. Many people have the " Well , they get what they deserve discussion" -its certainly taught at all meetings, assemblies, at home to kids.....please help us all. This is such a destructive and horrible cult. I would imagine that teaching that billions will be destroyed from birth , separate from the world, hate worldly people certainly can mold people.
What mental health expert would agree with any part of shunning ? Name one please !!

Hello all,
I have been wanting to write a book for kids who grow up in the borg or near the borg. It would be non offensive and factual. I am putting the chapters together. I want to fight the Borgs indoctrination to our young kids—-Thoughts ?
Should I get baptized ?
What if I change my mind later ?
Is a University Degree something I need ?
Why changing doctrine ?
What is faith ?
Do I need faith in a God to be happy ?

I feel like I am going crazy at times ...
by CovertsadJW ingood evening , .
i feel like i am going crazy - it’s so hard not being able to talk to the ones i love about how i really feel - meaning the “ truth “ is a big lie and a big waste of time.
it’s so weird - i can’t talk to my wife , or kids about how i really feel and it’s causing me probalms that i recognize.

I want to thank everyone for your thoughts. I am completely open for my wife to believe and choose what she believes and practices- I think this is true love and respect. Unfortunately that is not rescipricated in any fashion, people have read my other posts- she was raised by a perfectionist JW parent , seriously. Her tendency is to be very demeaning - I have set boundaries- but she does not respect me at all in word or action. She is unable to recognize me as a separate person with different beliefs- that is healthy. I guess in a nutshell I have recognized that I am - fading from an abusive cult - and in a emotionally and spiritually abusive relationship all at the same time. It’s sad and it’s allot to handle- The hard part is that this has been a very long time coming so it’s not new - probabaly 10 years or so- Her family is so judgmental of others and very tough spiritually so I cannot imagine that she would be accepted as a fader - so we are at an impasse. I just will say that spiritual abuse may be the worst non physical as it’s done under the giuse of Love -but it’s so far from love.
