    Angst and the Jehovah's Witness Mindset

    there is no typical jw personality type.. any of us who were in the religion for a number of years will remember all sorts of individuals.

    there is as much variety among jws as there is in the general population.

    some were arrogant and judgemental but others were humble and kindly.

    I went to see my Dr about the blood card issue

    by purrpurr in

    i booked a double appointment so that she wouldn't be rushed.

    i explained that i'd been brought up in the jw's and woken up to what a load of shite it was.

    i explained that they have changed the blood card and that the elders in the cong are being told to effectively force people into signing it.

    I think I stopped signing them about 10 years before I left, which in itself is close to 10 years ago now.

    I think you can reasonably stall by saying you aren't signing something you don't understand. Make a few appointments to have it explained to you, cancel them beforehand, re-book etc and eventually they will leave it. If push comes to shove delay further by saying you are going to discuss with your doctor, lawyer etc.
