Thank you Blondie and Dr Who. That’s what I was looking for. I have donated blood many times and am not PIMO since July 2019. This was a question posed by my non baptized brother. These are great references ...

Donating Blood a Disfellowshipping Offense?
by HiddenPimo inwhen 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?

GB Letter To Elders In Response To Oxygen Series
by thedepressedsoul inthis letter was put out right when the series aired.
seems they have "disfellowshipped" reporters pretty much in the eyes of their followers.
public information desk: as of july 1, 2019, a public information desk (pid) was established to handle communication with news media, academic institutions, and government agencies.

Those 2 elders that Bundy did interview - I wonder if they are still Elders or are they in trouble for speaking to TB?
Goodness the Control is off the chain...

Unwritten, congregational 'rules'
by Thetruthhurts inwhat were some of yours?
the big one in our hall was no frontal hugs!
these were generally thought of as inappropriate, only side hugs should be given between sisters and brothers.

Why does the Borg never use the terms Grace or Ezer
by HiddenPimo inlet me start with: this is not a discussion of the validity of the bible or whether it is inspired of god.. my question is why do you think they don't use grace in their teachings when this is such paramount teaching in the rest of the christian world.
and why do they not reference the hebrew word for helper in genesis 'ezer'.
this word as applied to a woman seems more dignified as it carries the connotation of strength where the man is weak.

What ever your belief system, these 2 words would actually make their teachings more appealing and give more respect to the woman.

Why the Oxygen Special will not work like we think it will...
by HiddenPimo inwithin the very documentary is a reason i think that jw's for the most part will not wake up even if they watch this program.
the one lady actually saw as her family sat behind the abuser in court supporting him despite the established fact that he had abused their very own child.. this shows how deep the indoctrination is.
i am not saying that some won't wake up, but the majority will carry on, not even because they think these things are lies but because they will look past that at all costs to side with jehovah.

I am hopeful it will have an impact yet cautious as I was an elder and never heard about the Australian Royal commission till I have become PIMO a year later. But when I did find out it was at that point I said I have to go - so as many of you have said - it could definitely push many to the POMO status.

If a parent will allow their child to die for the sake of Blood doctrine, then they will surely do anything else requested by a group of men.
The only way is if the Organization is destroyed by the Governments themselves...
I welcome any discussion either way...
Happy Friday,

Star Trek Discovery - Season 2 Episode 6: The Sound of Thunder
by HiddenPimo ini am not going to get into the details of whether this star trek series is any good or not.
however, the episode as mention in the topic title struck a cord with me on my experience of waking up and learning the tatt.
if you have access to this program i recommend watching this one episode.

If you have access to this program I recommend watching this one episode.(You really do not need context to benefit from it).
One of the closing moments is a quote from Aeschylus, the Greek tragedian, who wrote that "He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop from the heart."
Have a great day everyone! Yes I am telling you what to do ;-)
