  Hospital Liason Committee Arseholes

  by Hairyhegoat in

  please be aware if you have just faded and were baptised , if you or your family have a major life or death accident the mongols from the hospital liason committe will always be there before you and will still try to take over the care for the family member.

  why does this happen, you need to delete the master records of all family members and they are now not jw any more, if you don't they will still be called and you will have a fight on your hands to get them to leave.

  contact your doctor / gp or hospital and get this sorted out.

  The HLC may still be called but in the US they have NO authority over how the JW patient's treatment should be. They also cannot have access or know about the patient's medical history and/or chart. This is illegal and against the HIPPA act from I believe 1996.

  Marital Due and the KS

  i just did a 'quick' search and 'marital due' doesn't appear to have made the 'list' of issues addressed in the ks!.

  did i miss something?????

  shouldn't the blantant repeated refusal (not justifiable under illness, ability, or discernable reason) be an issue addressed?.

  Hey fellas, as you got older, into your early 30s, did you start finding women between their late 30s and late 40s attractive?

  somedays my dad would look at what i still call an older woman, and he'd call her attractive.

  i'd look at him like dude your nuts.

  i'm thinking just cuz your older doesn't mean its wrong to find younger women attractive.

  What made you start questioning: people or doctrine?

  by In in

  let us know what got you questioning wbts in the first place.

  i've got a theory that it starts with people hurting us and only then does the "apostate" turn to looking at the beliefs.. anybody who started questioning beliefs first?.

  1. The way I see some elders treat the congregation. I myself was not the lightening rod but I have heard of the stories and how they ruined people's lives.

  2. I was never supposed to graduate kindergarten, the end was coming. Well the WTS is over 30 years late.

  3. The WTS major doctrine of the "generation passing" and changing their mind made me question.

  3. Not having the opportunity to go to college. Still bothers me to this day.

  5. Shunning of df'd or da ones. They were your family or good friends and after an announcement is made completely cut them off. Is that showing love?

  I have more but those are my top reasons why I have doubts and question.

  Very well said Lady Lee, most active JWs are here to learn and yes some are jerks. The point is not all should paint a broad brush stroke and "silo" all JWs.

  Chaperones...

  how would you feel..when you are alone with someone, that they are your friend, nothing more than just a friend, opposite sex.

  just doing nothing but watching "that 70's show", laughing your butts off.

  and then the next day, you have a meeting, and the elders come at your neck about being alone with the opposite sex, who happens to be your friend since second grade!

  mainly, how awesome i am.

  i have noticed several threads that are not about how awesome i am and, frankly, it's a little disturbing.

  i might also be drunk.

  Further Education and the Special Assembly Day

  by eyesthatsee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i had the misery recently of attending the sad.. the bethel speaker looked and sounded like the usual corporate businessman after your money.. during his main talk, he praised a recent bethel member who left his college (aka university) course early to pioneer and join bethel.. that followed experiences from window cleaners, unemployed, parents home-schooling (aka child abuse - it is a basic human right to be educated) their kids and those baptised as children (youngest was 10).. the brainwashed dubs applauded every ruined life paraded on the platform.. these bethel speakers have been around long enough to know exactly what they're doing - they are evil men, ruining peoples' lives, breaking up families and masquerading as holy men.. their time will come when they face god - too late for the many ruined by their filthy lies and false hopes.. sorry to sound bitter, but to my shame i had a part in this cult as an elder.

  what part of my brain did i lose to not see through this rubbish?.

  better late then never though.

  During his main talk, he praised a recent Bethel member who left his college (aka university) course early to pioneer and join Bethel.

  That followed experiences from window cleaners, unemployed, parents home-schooling (aka child abuse - it is a basic human right to be educated) their kids and those baptised as children (youngest was 10).

  The brainwashed dubs applauded every ruined life paraded on the platform.

  It makes me sick to my stomach when they try to show "see YOU can be happy putting Jehovah first in your life. GIVE UP everything and make the sacrifices, Jehovah will bless you WHILE the WTS is worth billions. They continually want your $. Complete caca in my book and I refuse to clap for these brothers who are known for "twisting the truth" with the ones they interview. I know from experience and when the brother wanted me to "allude" something else I said "absolutely not, find someone else or go with what I intend on saying".
