I have a problem with this whole blood issue. How is it they justify using fragments from blood but not blood in its complete state? Where in the bible does it say " pour our the blood upon the ground , BUT! before doing so you can remove certain parts of it for usage ,then spill the rest on the ground" . Yet when you question something like this we ex -witness are seen as "twisting " things and causing true believers to question things and have doubts .

Are they getting more strict on this subject?My friend was led to belive that they are getting even worse on the treatment of DF'd ones . Does anyone have any info on this ? was there a talk about disfellowshipped ones or some new literature with info in it about DF'd ones?

I love how they say a husband and wife should still stay together even though they have different religeous beliefs. I left the JW's before my husband did,and for years his family would send him letters encouraging him to break free from me. Nice loving witnesses they are.

Oh boy when my in-laws found out i was doing yoga. We were sent a stern letter telling me all about how EVIL it is. So I had already done my research and was ready for them. I wrote back to them . I asked them if any of them had ever sat indian style ? Uh oh you just did a yoga pose . Had any of them bent over and touched their toes? Uh OHH, yoga pose. Had any of them stretched their arms up above there heads? OH OHHH yoga pose. and on and on I went. Every type of excersise out there has basic yoga posses incorperated into it. So I told them, my class doesnt even have and meditating in it . Its all about correct breathing, and stretching and doing moves that help build up body strenght without alot of high impact jumping around. You know what they told me to do ? to read what the SOCIETY says on the matter thats where all REAL truth comes from. Good thing I wasnt bending over in a evil yoga pose at the time or I would have thrown up my lunch. LOL. You know if you went to a gym and took a class thats let say it called Stretching For Strenght or something like that, they would'nt have a problem with it, but because you call it Yoga its evil. Gotta just laugh about that don't we?

I was visiting family down south a while back and my sister introduced me to Boiled peanuts . Oh my god they were good. We bought them from a little road side stand . When I came back up home I looked on the internet for recipes to make them myself. There are tons of web sites with recipes ,its just peanuts ,alot of salt and water. I learned that you have to use raw /green peanuts. I didnt have to crack the shells first , when they boil ,the salt water penetrated right through the shells . They taste best hot right out of the pot.
