I checked out that Lamb Placenta stuff. It is a dietary supplement, but I'm not shure if it is a 'youth' formula or anti aging or if it for female hormonal therapy. I didn't want to look further.
Were You a Rebel or a Lamb"?

got my forty homey?
I was the leader of the dweeb patrol before bethel. Everyone loved me and followed me. I was the Edler for the younger ones. However during and after Bethel I then became the rebel, always in trouble, and getting counseled for something or another.

Homey, it was probably because of those pretty pigtails.

MMMM....................well I guess I was a bit of both.
A lamb because I really did comply with alot of the crazy dub stuff and basically wanted to do what I was told pleased god.
But being a curious type of person and having been a catholic too, I questioned so much and the elders got very shi#&*y with me. Especially when the pedo that abused my kid was very free to roam the congo and I kept at the elders, I was relentless.
I guess you could say I was very outspoken about things that just didn't seem right to me. Oh, that was called rebellious and independant thinking. I didn't get counselled alot but I was spoken about quite a bit. Oh yeh, those were the days! But eventually they df'ed me to shut me up. Still hasn't worked LMBFAO!
Thank god I did question and ponder (a good dub word lol) and finally left. Now they can say whatever they want, I don't give a rat's ar#e.
Cheers, Bliss

Oh, I was a lamb...but that doesn't mean that I kept my mouth shut. I was just very creative in my speech and tried to get folks to "think". About the worse thing that happened to me publicly, was at the Sunday WT meeting, where I was determined to get some of my thoughts across in a more open forum. After calling on me over a period of time, and having to listen to me, I was told by the preciding elder in front of everyone, that "unless I could give my answers as directly written in the WTBTS literature, I would not be called on to comment any longer. (I always wondered what visiting "worldly" folks thought about that type of borgism.) Basically, that's when my hand went down and stayed down, and I got a real attitude. I was already on my way out, but it was a slow and agonizing trip.
As long as I went with the program, all was fine. But, as I tested the waters, I found a total unacceptance for individual questions and thoughts. They didn't want me to "think". They just wanted me to "accept". I couldn't do that.

What were you saying???

Min, just very simple things: like we should listen to our heart and do what our heart tells us. That we should be honest with ourselves, because if god really does know our hearts, then he knows everything about us, and we are living a lie otherwise. Also, other things regarding mental health. For instance, it was well known that there were many young adults who really needed to get some professional counseling--outside of JW. (many in the congregation were already being given mood elevating drugs from their parent's own drug cabinet,...even as young as thirteen and fourteen. I knew several personally who were in bad shape.) Whenever I could, I would mention that humans are provided with many avenues to get help when they need it. There are many good and qualified doctors and psychiatrists. (they hated that word)
Whatever, the discussion, I just tried to insert something to get people to think for themselves. I remember once when it was J this and J that.....I inserted that as true christians, we ought really to be considering Jesus more and what he taught mankind, which was love and compassion for ALL MEN-- And especially, that we should all love each other, and that meant all of mankind, not just our little group. Love was more than going door to door and pushing literature on people. It was more than ten hours a month; it was more than attending conventions, or meetings. It was more than what people wore or how they dressed. (I hated that we couldn't wear slacks to meetings.) In the end, they crushed me down by saying that I was overstepping my position as a "sister", and trying to act as a "brother", and that would not be tolerated.
Alas, I did try my best, but was shot down. I must say, I probably knew they would do it publicly, so that I would be humilitated that way. They knew how earnest and meek I was. They took advantage of that.
