By the WT's definition of those who voluntarily disassociate from the JW religion, I am now unofficially disassociated (but not to the WT's knowledge). That is because while at the hospital in November 2022 I accepted two transfusions (450 cc [ml] each) of packed red blood cells and while in the hospital in December 2022 I accepted one transfusion (450 cc [ml]) of packed red bloods cells, but no JW (including no JW elder) knows for sure I received such. I avoided telling JWs that I received such. [You folks reading this post know that I received them, except you don't know my real name.] My mother (a devout JW) told me not to tell her what I received while at the hospital (nor of what I had been planning to receive from the hospital as an infusion). She thus gave me permission to keep the secret from her. That made it much easier for me to accept the transfusions, since it prevented me from having a guilty conscience of keeping a major secret from her. [And, more than 13 years ago I had determined that accepting a blood transfusion does not violate Bible teachings.] She also told me she is very happy I am alive and feeling well.
I am glad to no longer having to answer to the WT and its JW religion. I am also glad to have freed myself from much of their mind control, and I am glad to be alive.
