  thinking about how this felt awkward to some of us women when a bible student noticed something was "up" if a baptised brother sat in on a study.

  had to reference 1 cor.

  11:1-16.. i wonder if this irked any while you were still in?.

  If you are still in and a JWs health care agent, What to do?

  by BU2B in

  2. friends

  i am in this position.

  i am my fathers health care agent, and my wifes as well.

  if they are ever in a serious accident or emergency, do you think it would be unethical to allow blood to be used on them?

  I am a care agent for my parent - a devout jw. out of respect, I will do as they have asked. We ask others to respect our non-belief of the jw religion, I think we need to respect their beliefs of being a jw... It is their life & they have the right to live it as it is, regardless of how misguided they May be...

  I was in one of those congs that all the corrupt elders flocked to. If they lost their privileges in another cong, they just moved to ours & they were reinstated within a short time. Any good elders would leave. My attendance was irregular cause of the way they treated me. Why go if ppl ignore you or said nasty lies about you. 4 years ago I missed the meeting where the blood card was given out So I missed out. I did ask our book conductor to give me one But I guess he couldn't be bothered. I haven't had one since...

  so, i eventually decided that this place wasn't the apostate hot bed i was led to believe ;-), (or maybe i am now an apostate!

  but i don't feel like one.)..

  i was brought up in "the truth".. i loved it.

  Held my first "worldly" party last night

  by Gypsy Sam in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i used to have a lot of jw gatherings at my home and it's been the one thing i did miss since our fade.

  although i had some nonjw contacts in my life, i always held them at arms length and never really invited them to my place.

  well, i've opened up to this group over the last year about the issues with pedofiles within jw world, and the internal/external shunning policy.

  That's awesome... I'm starting to let 'worldly' ppl come closer rather than keeping them at a distance...
