Administering a Blood Transfusion When Directed by a Superior- Jehovah's Witness Policy

by Ron.W. in

administering a blood transfusion when directed by a superior - jehovah's witness policy effective june 15th, 2018. while the hospital liasion committee elders were instructed that they may inform doctors and nurses of this decision, this letter was not allowed to be distributed to anyone outside of hlc members.. as a result of the concealment of this letter, and by virtue of the fact that this information was only to be shared verbally with jehovah's witness medical professionals and others, confusion erupted across the united states and in other branch offices of jehovah's witnesses.

countless letters were received at watchtower headquarters in new york from concerned jw nurses, paramedics, and others who were instructed verbally on this new policy, but which contradicted existing written policy that had been in effect for many decades.. in addition to letters from witness medical professionals, circuit overseers in the field wrote to the us branch and hospital information desk in new york about the problems caused by this unreleased policy.

for example, south carolina circuit overseer brandon roberts reported to headquarters that "the majority of the nurses in our circuit were not aware of this updated policy.

This makes my blood boil, pun intended.

What a bunch of stuff and nonsense.

Anyone who would terminate their career over this stupidity...

Think, people, think! They've created their own catch 22 here.

Don't let them control you anymore!

Smiddy, you'll notice it took the US Postal Service a month to get your cards to you and then another 2 months for a return. Christmas cards...it's spring in 2 days!

At this rate I have to mail my bills out before I even get an invoice!

You and me both, LHG.

Listen to this outrageous story:

Girl marries guy, dragging him out of his mother's house.

He bails after about 2 months, goes back home to Mommy's and holes up.

Girl is devastated, divorces him, gets over it, eventually finds another JW guy and they plan to get married.

The elders say, "Nah, ahh, ahh, not gonna happen. You're not scriptually free to get married."

Girl cannot get a confession of adultery out of her ex. (My theory is that he was gay and realized he couldn't fake it.)

Elders have the solution: Marry your new husband, let us know when, we'll disfellowship you but let you come back after only 6 months if you play by the rules, and then everyone lives happily ever after.

So, that's what happened.

And that's someone who wanted to stay in the truth! Both of them!

What about the traditional method?

Date and marry a worldly guy, if he won't come into the truth, suck up a short disfellowshipment and then you're good.

What, no one does this anymore?

Welcome. Your first instinct is to shout the lies from the rooftops!

Do not do this!

This reaction makes sense to ordinary, unbrainwashed people.

But, trust us, this is a bad move because their minds have been compromised. Their ability to use critical thinking has been compromised!

Story after story on this forum proves that this way of doing things just does not work.

Be miserly with your new knowledge and reveal small things slowly. This has been the way that has shown the most success by people on this forum.

Spend some time reading the stories of others. You will find much that you will recognize, some warnings, some advice, and much fellowship without judgment.

Welcome!

Anybody ever have one of those days where you can't put your penis wherever you want and so you try to extort thousands of €uros out of dozens of people?

No?

Yeah, me neither!
