Donating Blood a Disfellowshipping Offense?

by HiddenPimo in

when i served as an elder i never heard of this scenario presenting itself - giving blood.. has anyone heard of a judicial case where a person donated and was disfellowshipped?

are there any references to this in the jw publications, manuals, handbooks?.

Greta Thunberg, Worse than Plague

by Simon in

so greta thunberg thinks the world pollutes too much.

specifically, the parts of the world that pollute the least and have the cleanest industries.

she doesn't seem to care about india or china who are the biggest polluters by far.. "how dare they".

All the school kids that miss school to protest about climate change .

Get dropped at school by car or 4x4 we used to walk to school.

A new bike was usually someone's old bike.clothes were handed down

Holiday were in the UK

Takeaways were the very occasional chippy

Wonder how many of these young people today would be happy with that to give up new mobiles, tablets,X box's , foreign holidays, designer clothes probably none but it's older ones fault .

Transgender sues - because they were ALLOWED to change sex!!!

by The Fall Guy in

you couldn't make this up!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51676020.

the emperor's transgender's new clothes syndrome = don't dare define their problem as being psychological, otherwise you're transphobic!.

Fadeaway1962

There has been cases were transgender males have been locked up and asked to be put in a female prison and then go on and abuse the female prisoners.

Does Bob use the male or female toilets or do they have a "they" toilet.

Does Bob get to put a dress on and walk in a ladies changing room?

Circuit Overseer to Answer My Questions + Concerns...or Not

by Research in

hello all, i'm 'researching', a jw who is in the first steps of taking a look at their beliefs.. i've semi-recently (about a couple weeks ago) heard about the sexual abuse cases (pennsylvania attorney general’s investigation request) and then the arc in 2015. this lead to a deep investigation, which lead to many questions arising.

a jw friend of mine suggested i be careful (due to apostates) and ask the brothers.

so i typed up my questions + concerns and emailed an elder my mother has known for a long time.

Don't what country your in , that's probably kept to yourself but in the UK you could try calling the Samaritans they will listen and be able to access the help you need,

pictures for or of pimos

by waton in

a picture so embarrassing, even wtbts inc does not want to describe it?

this week's study, no 52, march 1 2020 wt dec 1919. picture description (on page 27) for pages 23 and 26 but not for the one on page 24, too embarrassing?

picture it, page 24. the wt lady, with a head volume ~8 times that of the gentlemen sitting behind her, eager to have her voice boom in the kingdom hall, raising arms with 3 other "sisters", whereas all 4 males are abstaining.

Fadeaway1962

Not that many people have smiles on their faces at the hall I attended.

Wife's are expected to answer up so the husband can progress and she can then be in the elders wife's club then only have to answer every now and again same with the children.

Confidentiality by the WBTS

by ZindagiNaMilegiDobaara in

how the wbts has definitely broken confidentiality in their own words!!!.

proverbs 25:9 "do not reveal what you were told confidentially".

a body of odours letter refers to this verse and instructs them when handling congregational matters involving legal issues.if an elder were to breach this (minister-communicant privilege prevents any body of odour from revealing things said in private to him by a member), then he automatically waivers the minister-client privilege.

Fadeaway1962

A po of a former congregation I was in kept things confidential about the things his family got up to underage drinking and sex .

It was revealed many years later
