It's usually announced mid week meeting, yes shunning begins that day, the ones who show up for announcement believe this shows repentance for quicker return. I just can't get my head around how WT headquarters equates this embarrassment to love. WT needs to be sued for non compliance of freedom of religion.

I think some JW may have pissed old Lewis Edwards off. Stellar performance on his part. Seems an accurate description of cult.

JW women true value
by Chook inwhen they sent out internal letter to elders regarding the binding of elders book , worldly men could do the job but only under supervision of a elder.
but under no circumstance could a sister touch the book.
the idiots put it in print, any elders wives on this forum should take it up with their man.

WT has put the value of their dear sisters below a pagan binder.

Memorial Services
by penny2 inall jw memorial services i've been to have been similar.
a couple of sentences about the deceased and then it's all about the religion.
very impersonal and scripted.

To hijack a funeral and preach Brooklyn dogma is a unforgivable crime, the poor person who has died is entitled to a decent goodbye.

Update: Got my Judicial Committee cancelled
by Sanchy inoriginal thread here.
update: so, after the meeting i had with elders a few weeks ago as outlined in my original thread, they met as a body and once again called to tell me that after considering my case they still thought a judicial committee should be held against me and asked to be there "thursday at 7:30".
all of this, i remind you, because of posting coc on facebook.

Sanchy, I'm happy for you but I suspect it will only be a postponement . Avoid the zealots at all cost.

JW remark about blood transfusion
by Gorbatchov inrecent i had a conversation with an old jw friend.
he told me his mother rejected a blood transfusion in a critical fase, and survived it, and of course it's good to hear that she makes it good now.. what me triggered, was a remark he made about what the elder of the hospital committee told him.. this elder praised the mother of my old friend because of rejecting the transfusion.
the elder told them that most jehovah's witness in the netherlands take a blood transfusion when their life is at stake.

The are cemeteries full of strict adherence JWs. We had a JW elders wife get special cutting edge blood faction that was made from cows blood ,an army developed product flown into Australia. This JW woman blood count was under 2, she lived. The irony is animal blood to the rescue. The only reason they saved her was connections,her husband is hospital liaison . You will never see in JW publications reasoning that Jah allowed soldiers to disregard blood law and eat unbled animals in an emergency or that Christ said life was more important law, in the example of sheep in well.

Maybe the biggest mistake WT headquarters made was to self insurance . I know governments and other big religion self insurance . That why in past KH minor damage was never claimed. Some church's have insurance indemnity against rouge pastors, but know Ethel would have took short cuts in reasoning that we don't have pedophile elders.
