i find the concept of taking select warnings of the medical and science world, to disfellowship members, and ignoring others ... all the more interesting as i think about it.
after all, heart desease is the biggest killer in the americas.
heart desease and heart related deaths are often linked to and not exclusive to; obesity, high cholesterol, fatty foods, not exercising, high stress, etc.. with this in mind, i dare someone to call an elder and report that they saw one of the local witnesses eating at mcdonalds, even though the doctor warned them it could kill them.
The WBTS wouldn't dare touch that subject in all seriousness. They'd have to take privileges away from a whole lot of JWs if they did!
The congregation I seldom attend these days has 90% overweight people.
Poor people find so little joy in their present lives that if they find joy in eating, what the heck..., let them eat cake!

three times a week in the kingdom hall in miami, my brother and i strove to sit perfectly still in our chairs.
our mother carried a wooden spoon in her purse and was quick to take us outside for beatings if we fidgeted.
i sat onstage in the kingdom hall in surrey, england, where my father's job had taken us.
Excellent article!
I really enjoy to see the WBTS exposed.

Hi!

let's give some good reasons why meetings suck.
Some of my reasons are...

haha i hope this doesn't come across as mean or jerky or libelous... but i can totally see defd becoming apostate... he posts here a lot which means he reads even more.
to me it's just a matter of "seeing it when you're ready to"... kind of like those 3d art things that were popular in the mid-90's... it's invisible until you make deep focus and at the same time blur your eyes to what you would normally see.
bethel
If he's among us, whether he wants to admitted or not, he's already an apostate by WBTS' standards.

i'm not looking fwd to going to the grocery store this evening.
i imagine that by now, most of what we should have on hand will be empty shelves in the stores.
we're gonna try and get some shtuff in here and begin cooking tomorrow.
Wow! Good luck!
We dodged the bullet here in SW Florida. Just got a bit of wind and rain.

please, huge warning, if you're an angry ex-jw, save your bs advice, i dont' need to hear you put jw's down just to give advice.. i was raised a jw & am still bitter over injustice growing up at the hands of my elder father, and bitter over the abuse of my ex-husband.. i miss my fam, i miss peace, i miss a sense of belonging.
any advice on how to gain inner peace w/o selling myself out?.
ginger
The only thing I could tell you is that, due to missing my family so very much, I sold out.
Now I'm forced to lead a double life, and it stinks to high heavens.

what was on your mind during those halcion days of the 70's.
when disco was king, and real men back then were required to dance.
johnny terrio, saturday night fever, medallions and open shirts exposing much chest hair, if you had any.
What are you talking about?! I loved the 70s and 80s!!!
I could dance that disco music so well! Loved the beat! Didn't like the fashion, though.
Even rap music had a nice beat back then, and wasn't as raunchy.

firstly let me say wooohhooooo!
then i think i might say woooooohooooo!.
i got two short stories (flash fiction) published in a creative writing magazine.
Congratulations!!!
