Look seeker, I'm entitled to my feelings. I lived this life as a child. It's an absolute fair assesment. And I have every right to state it as such.

Tell me, what was fair about being forced to go along with such hated and destruction as religion in the first place? Answer THAT for your lurkers who aren't posting.

And please, do not patronize me. Ever.

I know what my feelings are about. I own them. I won't deny [edited to correct sp] them. And I will share them. Not just for you, but for the countless ones who don't post and want to yell it out, but fear grips them.

You go ahead and continue to revel in your jw days. That is your right.

But don't think I won't state, as is my right as a member on any thread, my thoughts and feelings pertaining to the topic.

If you truly knew me, that was pretty tame as far as how caustic I am when it comes to this LETHAL organization.

Again, sincerely I say to you,

having problem pasting this...

I said in chat yesterday that I wasn't going to even read this thread. I knew exactly what it was going to contain. Yet.

I started reading it from the last page posted. The feelings rising up within me are absolutely making me physically sick.

As you men all recall your glory days, has it dawned on you the horror and confusion so many of us as innocent and helpless children, were going through and/ or ABOUT TO GO THROUGH, as a direct result of twisted doctrine and lethal policies, due to our parents FOLLOWING YOU?

I just want you to keep that dynamic in mind as you look back on being part of a money-hungry book publishing corporation, fraudulently passing itself off as " a true religion" did to hurt so many...still living and those that have passed.

Yes, it is a caustic statement. It is meant to Be. If you are one who cannot grasp why I would say this pertaining to this thread, I cannot help you, at this time. It will come to you though, IN DUE TIME.

Thank you and sincerely,

i'm almost positive that someone(s) have done this, but since jws like to leave tracts in doors, waiting room tables, as tips .

man, i'd sure like to leave those kind of tracts all over the place!.

sf

I do not call what I have produced tracts. I refer to them as fliers. And they are solely about the child sexual abuse AND cover-up of such, in this organization

part of what the prosecutor said: "this case makes a bold statement to any religious organization that we are not going to allow you to abuse confidentiality privileges in order to suppress the confessions of child molesters," said strunsky.

"the stakes are way too high.

How would you like to go door-to-door in Murietta? Murder and child rape are what the JW's are noted for in that community. And the elders that tried to keep from testifying are almost as disgusting as the perv that did these acts

I would indeed like! Yet, surely there must be someone closer.

{FOR THE LURKERS : SEE MY POSTING HISTORY}

I have absolutely gone into neighborhoods, door to door, as a dedicated, baptized apostate, in good standing, distributing fliers that I made myself, that draw ddirect attention to this issue. It has JESUS CANO on it.

So whomever is closest to this KH, needs to get busy in their community.

If you are serious in this endeavor and would like tips, and are inclined, you may PM me.

Reference: "Jehovah's Witnesses, Blood Transfusions And The Tort Of Misrepresentation," Kerry Louderback-Wood, JD, The Journal Of Church And State, Vol. 47, Autumn 2005, Baylor University.

You may find this legal essay useful and important when treating Jehovah's Witnesses (JWs) who refuse blood transfusions and sometimes refuse blood substitutes, at the behest of publications from their parent corporation, the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society (WBTS). The "Society" is considered the "mouthpiece" of God by JWs, who sometimes sue doctors for using life-saving blood treatments banned by the organization, which has misrepresented secular facts to promote its cult practice.

This is documented in the above-mentioned essay which attests that the WBTS has a history of disseminating secular information that misinforms readers about medical opinion. This misinformation may influence JWs and the elders who act on their behalf, the members of JW Hospital Liaison Committees (HLC). It is my opinion that misinformed HLC influence may be exerted by the WBTS in times of duress, inducing JW members to make decisions that can cause death and unnecessary suffering. (Additionally, if a JW accepts a blood transfusion, he or she risks shunning and/or disfellowshipping by their local congregation).

Where minors are concerned, this is especially disturbing. Fortunately, courts have intervened in cases where the life of a child is threatened due to JW parents' refusal to accept blood treatments; however, some have died due to refusing blood transfusions (and those who are forced by the courts to accept blood believe they are being persecuted). Especially at risk are pregnant JW women who have a much higher death rate than the general population, due to refusing needed blood in childbirth emergencies, a fact not noted in "the Society" literature; a number of other important facts are also omitted in the Society's use of secular literature, as documented in the tort of misrepresentation article.

Additionally, Kerry Louderback-Wood's essay demonstrates that the WBTS has flip-flopped policies, has provided ambiguous "guidance" regarding acceptance of blood fractions, and has supressed publicizing its own life-saving policy changes. I find this particularly reprehensible. As a result, over the years, "the Society" has likely created confusion within the medical community and among JWs regarding what types of blood treatments are acceptable, especailly among hemophiliacs and anemic JWs.

This may result in very serious legal ramifications for the WBTS and its official representatives, the elders who serve on HLCs. Because it could also affect physicians treating JWs, I feel it would be beneficial for all medical facilities to obtain and keep a copy of "Jehovah's Witnesses, Blood Transfusions and the Tort of Misrepresentation." It might also be helpful to make it available to JW patients and families; and to present it to the JW Hospital Liaison Committee (HLC) elders who may be just as misinformed by the WBTS as the rank and file JWs.

I suspect that your colleagues and legal departments may find the essay especially useful, because its documentation seems to strongly suggest that the WBTS has established a fiduciary relationship with its members and has failed to meet its fiduciary duties by:

misrepresenting secular information to promote cult practices;
discouraging members from pursuing higher education and discouraging them from reading outside literature that disagrees with the WBTS agenda; and
establishing Hospital Liaison Committees, composed of "elders" from local congregations, specifically chosen to interface with the medical community and promote the cult's policies on behalf of sick and/or incapacitated members who place great trust in these elders and in the WBTS.
Because studies have shown the average JW is undereducated, possibly due to cult influence, and because the WBTS has used secular information to promote its practices, it has a duty to present the information accurately and in context, rather than to promote dangerous policies using misleading 'cut and paste' "research." Its fiduciary duty should also include informing JWs and publically informing the medical community in a timely fashion about changes in its blood policies. However, thay have failed to act responsibly and honestly, misrepresenting secular facts by virtue of omission, outright misinformation, and by failure to disclose their own life-saving policy changes, all of which is documented in the Journal Of Church And State essay.

If you or your colleagues ever must contend with an emergency or surgery involving a Jehovah's Witness, I hope you will keep these facts in mind. I also hope you will carefully review the well-researched documentation provided in Kerry Louderback-Wood's essay, "Jehovah's Witnesses, Blood Transfusions and the Tort of Misrepresentation," in the Journal of Church and State, Volume 47, Autumn 2005.

almost any true blue practicing JWs that post (not lurk) to this site are anti-WTS

Same goes for you...you have got to be kidding me.

Please pardon me while I laugh my head off at how ridiculous that sounds. "Practicing jws on an antiwt forum". hahahahahaha
