And aside from that, those rat bastards have some nerve glomming onto the Catholic Church's schtick, after so vehemently criticizing the Catholic Church's procedures as a product of the whore of Babylon... -

The "sacramental confession" loophole was found to not apply to JWs. In a Catholic confession scenario, there is the confessor - the priest, and the penitent - the "sinner". It's considered exempt due to the fact that there are no other witnesses to the confession, nobody can corroborate the confession if the accused denies having confessed. In the case of JWs, confessions occur in the presence of at least two senior members of the Congregation™, usually Elders™, and then again in the presence of three Elders™ in the form of a Judicial Committee™. By the very nature of how a confession of wrongdoing happens with the JWs, where more than one witness to the confession is required, the "sacrament" of confession or ecclesiastical privilege cannot be utilized to exempt Elders™ from their duty to report child sexual abuse to the authorities. -

this article is sad.

Diogenesister:
Is this, perhaps, the one and only situation where it might do some good? In giving a dying child hope?
I think they've done enough of *that* already, when they told her that she would be Resurrected™ to Live Forever In Paradise on Earth™.
"She has hope that she is going to live forever. To her, this is a small chapter - it isn't the end."

Oh, and if you *do* decide on using IVF and are still JWs in good standing, please keep in mind that it is not necessary to tell anyone at the KH that you are using IVF, considering that it's a Disfellowshipping Offence™ <eyeroll>.
It's nobody else's business how you and your Mrs. became pregnant.
PS: The most elderly couple/first time parents I looked after on the mother-baby unit - she was late 50s, he was in his 70s.

The WTS has been "crying wolf" for such a long time. Its impact on young couples who made the decision to remain childless in This Old System Of Things™ goes back many, many decades.
Now that the WTS is giving elderly couples the toss at Bethel, who, indeed, is going to take care of them now?
If IVF is beyond your means, and puts your wife's health at risk unnecessarily, would you consider adoption?

Types attracted to the sect known as jehovahs witnesses.
by atomant inl have observed the types of people attracted to the sect are many times unbalanced,unstable,emotionally insecure types.the jdubs seem to home in like vulchers circling the prey ,preying on the vulnerables.they tried it on me when my father who was an elder died.promising that if you become a dub you will one day see him again.l said how can you promise that when you keep making false misleading predictions.l was wondering if others have observed this phenomenon.

JWs are instructed in recruitment methods that specifically target vulnerable populations, such as adolescents learning to be independent, college and university students who may be away from home for the first time, people in troubled relationships, separated, divorced, the impoverished, serious health problems, people who have just had a major move and have no local support system, families with new babies.
It's no surprise that the majority of recruits come from these types of backgrounds, because those are the ones being targeted.

Witnesses killed my friend today.
by WasOnceBlind intoday has been a horrible day.
what began as a day of joy finding out that one of my lifelong friends had her baby, turned into a nightmare when her brother called me to let me know she had passed away after birth.
i was in shock and didn't ask how.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again now:
In the more than 50 years since blood transfusions were banned by the WTS, the very first concession came about when clotting factors were permitted for hemophilia. By and large, the most serious form of hemophilia affects males, because it is carried on the Y chromosome. So the lives of JW men are spared - wonderful news.
Except: published medical studies have shown that pregnant women among Jehovah's Witnesses are more than 40 times more likely to die in childbirth due to an obstetrical hemorrhage than non-JW women (5.2% versus 0.12%).
By maintaining the blood transfusion ban, despite the overwhelming statistical risks to the health and safety of women in an obstetrical hemorrhage emergency, the WTS demonstrates its complete and utter disdain for the lives of women and children among its members. If MEN were dying in childbirth, changing this policy would be a top priority for the misogynists who run the show.

Surgery/Infection/Pain
by compound complex indear fellow posters and friends:.
a friend had been making excellent recovery after hospitalization and rehab.
then, some 6 weeks later, while an infection set in, he had to return to hospital.

It happened to a friend of mine last year. A drain had been placed at each later aspect of the surgical incision, and for some reason during the healing process, internally the area around the tubing of the drains healed in the form of a tunnel - completely abnormal, and caused horrific pain. My friend had to have the incisions re-opened and the healed tissue removed. The incision was then packed and was not re-sutured so that it could heal from the inside out (by secondary intention, in medical vernacular). What should have been completely healed within 4-6 weeks took almost 4 months by the time she was able to stop going to the clinic to have the packing removed and the incision redressed. -
