In the meantime my Sister isnt allowed to sell cigarettes at the supermarket where she works, which means when she is asked to work on the cigarette counter she has to say no.... WTF??

19Is it okay for a JW to handle blood in a medical place of work?
by trailerfitter inhi everyone, i am curious to the stance and opinions of those who are in the know.
my jw partner (we are seperated) applied for and got a job in a hospital working as a phlebotomist,.. odd i thought at first.
as i am aware they collect blood samples and deliver blood to wards for a sister (uk senior nurse term) for administration to patients.

My PO father Elder for 30+ years has too much iron in his blood- haemachromatosis.
The only place available to him to have blood drained (which is what the treatment for iron overload is) is the red cross blood collection centre.
He goes there every month to have the blood taken. He says it doesnt matter what they do with the blood after hes left because its not his problem.
Isnt this hypocritical? Shouldnt this blood either be poured on the ground or only used to make blood fractions?
When I was a dub this stumbled me, even though I never brought it up with him.
Now I just think hes a stupid hypocrite.

Lawyer tells of agonising scenes as doctors forced to let a Jehovah's Witness who wanted to live, die
by 3Mozzies inlawyer tells of agonising scenes as doctors forced to let a jehovah's witness who wanted to live, die.. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/lawyer-tells-of-agonising-scenes-as-doctors-forced-to-let-a-jehovahs-witness-who-wanted-to-live-die-7879674.html.
a lawyer who advised doctors that they must let a 22-year-old jehovah's witness die even though he wanted to live has spoken of the agonising scenes before the young man's death.. robert tobin, a partner in the london law firm kennedys, was called in by an unnamed nhs trust when the man, a jehovahs witness who was critically ill with sickle cell anaemia, refused a blood transfusion which could have saved his life.. over three weeks the man gradually deteriorated as the crisis progressed, before eventually dying.
medical staff were understandably upset at seeing a patient deteriorate before their eyes knowing a simple procedure could have been provided that would have saved his life, mr tobin said.. the mans mother, also a jehovahs witness, was at her sons bedside, and an elder from the mans church also attended.

No matter how 'in' I was I would never have let my kids go without a blood transfusion if it meant death.
This Mum has to live with and question her religions doctrine and her own beliefs for the rest of her life.
JWs are crazy and sick.

Looks like Simon17 has been on there having some fun.
I noticed that Jim Mccabes sons Ryan and Jesse are also dubs, how did they become lawyers? I hope they didnt get further education.... tut tut.
As MA said 'the level of cognitive dissonance is astounding'!!

The latest on blood
by PrincessCynic inso the local elders where i live recently had a big meeting with the hlc elders and i got a brief summary of what was said.
thought i'd share.. it seems the jws aren't capable of making a decision based on their personal conscience.
they are confused by the whole fraction thing and end up refusing the lot 'just in case' or accepting some and refusing others making them look like idiots.

Regardless of how much of the fractions they are willing to take they are still going against the original plan of 'pouring the blood out on the ground'.
So apparently nothing should be done to the blood because it should have hit the dirt immediately.
They will never be able to allow whole blood as they are too far into their own BS and how would they explain to the thousands of families that its now OK?

HOW COME ALMIGHTY GOD needs HUMAN PROTECTION ?
by clarity inisn't it strange?.
with just even a hint of bad press for the god jehovah ....... all his followers race to the rescue to cover it up.
and quickly hide the evidence.

I think it was a reflection on my beliefs if anyone said anything bad about Jehovah.
It undermined my faith and added to the cognitive dissonance.
It was a very uncomfortable feeling to hear anything bad about 'the true God.
I dont believe it has anything to do with love for Jehovah, its more about personal feelings that the organisation you belong to could somehow be lacking.

Hopefully in prison he also will be raped - then he can see what it feels like to be a scared 10 year old boy like those he raped. Filthy scum should be hung from his balls. I do wonder if his wife was ever a bit sus?

I have hired 2 more employees this week that are DF'd to go with my several jw employees...i am giving an amazing witness!!
by oompa ini had two new positions open up out of the blue recently and as luck would have it...for some reason i know a helluva lotta ex-jws lol!
especially with two young and popular dfd sons who also hang with a lot of ex dubs...but that maybe is another thread....we are drawn to those with similarities very often and being an exjw is a pretty small club....and we left a true brotherhood to many and a network for sure to everyone else.
so at work none of the non jws care for the jws and some have asked them to stop giving them paper crap and leave them alone...when one of them acted pissed that i had told some of the guys he would not ride with me to a jobsite lmao....of course they thought a new level of insanity had overtaken one of my normally great employees...so i told her "why would i not mention that to the shop guy/friends...im not ashamed of anything???".

This is a fantastic story Ompaa. You may be an apostadick but youre a damn good one.
Yeah the dubs are waiting for you to be a wasted drug/alcohol addict in the gutter within a year of being DF.
I love your success story and the dubs that work for you do too.
I think its wonderful that you can provide work for your boys and work with them too.
I like the apostate trump idea!!
Sucked in to your JW employees, its so lucrative to stay with you but the 'association' is getting worse by the day...lol

What Watchtower Got Wrong with Their Child Molestation Policy
by Billy the Ex-Bethelite inin the style of stephen lett, i'm trying to come up with an exhaustive, enumerated list (without his crazy eyebrows, goofy facial expressions, and nutty voice).
what watchtower has gotten wrong isn't just their 2 witness rule.
it goes much deeper into other failures of jw dogma that has allowed this injustice and others to flourish in their organization.

Good list Billy, you are officially now on the apostate writing committee. You can climb the ladder quicker here than you can at bethel. Who knows in a few yrs we might promote you to apostate GB.
