  You wear tight pants and you will be in trouble

  i was reading in another forum, that a letter to the elders instructed them to speak to anybody who persists in wearing tight pants.

  if changes don't happen then the instructions are to disqualify him from being a publisher but it won't be announced to the congregation.

  i am am curious to see if this letter will surface.

  Women wearing masculine hairstyles?

  So now they're picking on the little old ladies sprouting a few chin hairs?

  Because, otherwise, what the hell is a masculine hairstyle?

  Died Due To Refusing Blood Transfusion

  well, last monday my mother, a jehovah's witness since her baptism in 1968 died last week because she would not accept a blood transfusion.

  she was 76 and had lung and skin cancer.

  i know that the cancer would have gotten her anyway, but she was bleeding internally, and was told that she needs a blood transfusion, as her blood count went all the way down to 3.2 (should be 12-14.

  I am terribly sorry for your loss, especially the way it happened.

  I have lived the travesty of the blood issue with my parents as well. They both survived, but not without a good look at the HLC and the helplessness of knowing your parents have "lawyered up" with their DPOA and you are not a decision maker.

  Bump. Worth a listen, guys.

  There's no video, just audio, so you can play it in the background while you get other stuff done.

  Great story. It's rotten at the top and those who have been at Bethel smell it first.

  Another thought: maybe the Watchtower are thinking of going into residential real estate.

  You know, buy up apartment complexes with rank and file donations, then encourage them to rent. Then they collect rent money every month from JWs.

  It's the perfect scam.

  It really drives me crazy that they put down homeownership and promote renting.

  I've been a homeowner long enough (22 years) and have enough equity that I would easily pay an extra $1000 a month if I rented.

  So stupid.

  If I hadn't have put an addition on my house, it would nearly be paid off.

  If they promoted people buying small houses, then they could hit them up for extra donations once they're middle-aged and their mortgages are paid off.

  Such short-sighted thinking. And they hurt themselves as well as their followers in the process.

  Prince and addictive drugs…a possible loophole?

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  according to the elder's rulebook, there is this addendum in the chapter on the grounds for judicial committee and the section: "misuse of addictive drugs":.

  please note: the use of addictive drugs under medical supervision, such as for pain management, would not necessarily require judicial review.

  when questions arise, consult with the branch office.. .

  It really upsets me when people talk about other people's medication use.

  It's one thing if you decide to share your own medication use, but talking about others' is not cool.

  JWs seem to have a huge problem with minding everyone else's business.

  jehovah’s witnesses have today claimed that the concept of knocking on someone’s door and talking them into believing in the same crazy things as you could disappear thanks to right-wing bullshit....

  But, the noble Duke of York DID have 10,000 men!

  I learned this in nursery school, so it must be true!
