  Health care proxy

  by dissonance_resolved in

  Follow the rules and have the proxy done just the way THEY want it done.

  A day or so later, download a copy of your state's Advance Directive Form or ask your primary care physician for one.

  Fill it out and sign and date it in the presence of 2 witnesses and a Notary Public. Have the Notary Public affix his or her seal on the document. Make at least 3 copies (one for each witness and one for yourself) and ask your primary care physician to place the original in your patient file.

  In the event that you require a medical procedure not sanctioned by the Jehovah's Witnesses your primary care physician will be able to circumvent any attempt by your husband, the HLC (Hospital Liaison Committee) or anyone else whose wishes conflict with yours.

  Make sure that you carry your primary care physician's contact information in your wallet at all times just in case you are involved in an accident which incapacitates your ability to make your wishes known.

  a child in my daughter's class lost his mother very recently.

  we went to the viewing last night at the local catholic church.

  in the foyer area there was a bulletin board with pamphlets regarding child sex abuse, including by the church, in both english and spanish.

  The Watchtower Society deliberately lied to us about churches and we believed them because we didn't know any better.

  I did say that to her and she said she may need to take them on odd occasion of she goes back, but doesn't want to be told she can't take them.

  Thank you for all you comments , I love this women very much and she means the world to me but she says she cannot guarantee she won't go back.

  
  She just told you that she is going to go back and she will take your children with her no matter how you feel about it.
  
  
  

  I agree with what your saying, she does clam up when I ask her questions about her faith as she feels if she says something negative then I will hold it against her, her family are all in it but she is the black sheep of the family and they now keep their distance because she's not doing what she should be doing, they have not contacted her since last July!

  
  She Still believes the Jehovah's Witnesses have the truth and nothing you tell her or show her will change her mind.
  

  just want to save from this craziness!

  
  Get hurt for a little while by dumping her instead of existing in living hell as long as you are with her if you don't.

  By all means pioneer because the end is imminent and you will never again get another opportunity to vindicate Jehover's name.

  
  

  Pioneering is very fulfilling and by doing so you will be the first to hear about the latest dirt on your weaker brothers and sisters.

  if you are a male, pioneering will open up many doors, including the privilege of sitting on judicial committees and playing God with sinful Jehovah's Witnesses.

  On perk is that you will be able to condemn them to eternal death if they piss you off.

  
  

  On the other hand, the only things college can offer is a decent job with a good salary which will enable you to retire comfortably and adequately support your family.

  Turn in your Application for Pioneer service today.

  Don't wait until it's too late!

  Jehovah's Witnesses are taught that it will be joy to be around a lion or other such animal without fear in paradise:
  

  It truly will be Paradise restored. What of the joy to be around a lion or other such animal without fear? We do not have to begin describing that, for all of us have relished the scene already.
  

  2/15/96 Washtowel

  Page 18

  Their version of paradise is a lie:

  There will be no lion there,

  and no vicious beast will go up on it;

  they will not be found there.

  Elders Starting To Poke Around... Advice?

  by Garrett in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as many of you know, i've been out of the organization for about a month now.

  Do not mention any doubts or concerns about the organization, the faithless 7 or the crazy doctrines to anyone.

  
  

  Those doubts and concerns will be used against you and eventually will lead to the LOYALTY QUESTION.

  "Do you STILL believe that Jehovah is using the faithful slave and His organization?"
  

  
  

  The less they know, the better off you are.

  A little over 10 years ago I experienced their twisted version of love when I mentioned my doubts and concerns about the organization, the faithless slavers and their crazy doctrines.

  I was set out on the curb for the garbage man with everyone else who woke up to their scam.

  It blew my mind when I started attending one of satan's churches and learned that the majority of its members had been married one time, some for more than 50 years and most of the others who had been married twice had lost a spouse in death.

  
  

  I only know 3 couples who had remarried after divorce and they weren't Christians when it happened.

  I believe that most JW's are ill-equipped to be good marriage mates due to what they learn about marriage from magazines, books and kingdom hall meetings.

  JW.ORG is the fastest growing media outlet in the World, our local COBE said we are going to take the Media from Satan's Wicked World!  Repent before it's too late and come back to the Kingdom Hall with all your loving brothers and sisters!  You won't find happiness without Jehovah's Organization and you know it!  Please think about all the good times you had in Field Service, at the Meetings and Book Study closeness with our tight-knit family.  JW.ORGis in talks to buy Funimation
  
  The Governing Body has humbly begged all ex JWs to return to the loving concern of your body of elders, please return and feel the love!  When was the last time you had a good nights sleep after leaving the Watchtower's Safe Haven free from this World's danger and wicked people?  Only Jehovah's people have true happiness without the debilitating anxiety and fear the World inflicts on you.  While others are suffering from alcoholism, drug addiction, over-use of antidepressants, Jehovah's Organization keep's it's membership busy placing the lifesaving message the End Is Near!  Please return before it's too late, Jehovah will bless you only by humbling yourself and rejoining the Flock of Jehovah!
  
  Hearing stories how Jehovah's Witnesses are shunning people who faded sounds unbelievable, all I see is the love and joy like the Watchtower artist conception shows, I love being a JW Cart and love all you!
