  Haemaphilliac Doctor talks of JW neighbours cruelty

  by Diogenesister in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i got my fingers burnt last time i copied a post from reddit, but this one made me so mad i had to show you guys.

  i think its possible that the witnesses antagonism was exaggerated in his child's mind, never-the-less any nastiness to a sick child is beyond the pale.

  the hospital i trained in lost nearly every last one of its 500 haemaphilliacs to aids - i think around 30 survived from this era.http://www.modernluxury.com/san-francisco/story/when-doctors-need-doctors-after-dodging-death-sentence-looking-cure.

  Quote about Honesty and lies of omission in latest Watchtower.

  by cappytan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jesus honestly identified himself as the messiah, even though his truthful admission could allow the sanhedrin to claim that he was a blasphemer and could lead to his execution.—matt.

  will we be honest in situations where a slight omission or twist of words might bring us material gain?.

  Ten years out.....

  by snare&racket in

  2. friends

  i'm not sure how useful this post will be, but i feel compelled to write it.

  with many of my older posts, i wrote them with a younger jw version of me in mind.

  with this i write it with a younger newly ex jw in mind.. ten years ago i went to my presiding overseer and told him my concerns about wt owning 'rand cam' military stocks, about unfulfilled prophecy and human error in the governing body and the theocratic consequences of such.

  Disfellowshipping

  by Sabin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i used to think (having been d myself, when younger) that it was a loving arrangement set up by a loving god to keep the congregation clean, & to give the unrepentant wrong doer time out to think about what they had done.

  when ready they could come back, apologize & all is forgiven.

  what a first class clown i was.

  Should I stay or should I go?

  by olongapo joe in

  2. experiences

  hello all, i love reading all of your experiences, and trials and tribulations ( isn't that very jw'ish)?

  while most of my life experiences have almost nothing to do with jw's, as i was never baptized and never believed( in the bible) past the 5th grade, it makes me feel good to contribute a post or two here, i tend to go off on subjects that are probably not very jermaine to the main subject of this site.

  i do really enjoy all of your comments and the time and effort simon and the other moderators spend to make this a truly inspiring site.

  Saturday Let the Games Begin

  by Poztate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the start of a new memorial season is upon us.

  saturday is the day for the start of the invites to look but not touch the bread and wine.

  the "observer class" is a belief unique to jehovah's witnesses.. along with the invite to the masses a special effort is being made this year by the elders to invite all the df's, da's and faders.. along with the invite a copy of the rtj will be left with them.. naturally we will still be treated as pariah's if we do attend but it is the thought that counts.. i am of the "fader class" as i don't wish to rock the boat with my wife and extended family.

  The Curious Case Of Brother B

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  there was a case in my old congregation that is shrouded in mystery that i'd like to share and get your views.

  this is something i've wanted to talk about for years but it's strongly shot down if you even try to talk about it in my old congregation.. it involves a certain brother b.. in my old congregation this brother was well liked.

  as a kid, we all knew him for being fascinated with dinosaurs.
