It has been my very limited experience that jw's will not read the Bible by themselves. In my opinion they probably have tried it and found it does not match up with jw teachings therefore they are frightened by what they read and that they must be getting it wrong somehow without Mother to interpret for them. Might as well just rely on the rags. If a CO has some explanation for this all the better, relieves them of any personal responsibility.

7God's word-the publications?
by notalone inokay, so i have a friend that still interacts with my family.
she is going through some difficult times, so i suggested she just read some of psalms.

JWs and taking blood
by dogon ini have a brother who works in the medical profession and in particular surgery rooms.
he had a jw woman who needed blood.
while the jw elders were there she said no blood.

Could a family member keep jw's out of a jw's room? I understand if the jw signed the blood card that may stand but would non jw family have to allow jw's into the room if the jw was incapacitated?
I think the HLC could flex their muscle about the no blood issue but do they have a right to visit or send cong members to visit?

JW Policy Regarding "Marking" From The Nov 2016 WT
by JW_Rogue injws will deny that local needs parts are often just a way to mark those in the congregation who are deemed to be "bad association" or who don't fall in line with the elders viewpoints.
now, for the first time in a long time the wt discusses their marking policy and how it works in the nov study wt:.
recall paul’s counsel regarding disorderly ones in the congregation.

I wish to hell they would start marking and shunning people married to actual ubm's! then our jw's would find out just how 'loving' their so called 'friends' really are. Well, maybe there would be too many to shun?
It drives me mad when my jw refers to his 'friends', I want to tear my hair out and say, 'they are not your friends! friends love you unconditionally, no matter what goofy thing you choose to believe. Your friends are only 'friends' as long as you tow the jw line."....... sorry for the rant, a bit on edge lately.

My JW Sister Called Me Last Night
by pale.emperor inmy sister called me quite out of the blue last night.
she's a full on active jw and actively shunning me like the rest of the family are.
i dont quite know the reason why she felt last night was the right time to call but im glad she did.

You know she counted her time, sigh.... but on a bright note at least she was thinking of you, I guess that's something.
"of all the religions claiming to be christian it's the most far removed from Christianity i've ever seen."-- I liked that part!

Got a sense of humor? Help!
by rebel8 innathan, outlaw.....all of you hilarious people...this means you!
i believe in humor as an effective way to bring attention to an important topic.
humor has made many people aware of the true nuttiness of the jw cult in the past (sign language masturbation video—went viral).. amazon allows humorous reviews and even showcases them.
