Oops! Honest - I didn't know. I've never knew anyone to be DF for smoking. Although I got DFed for confessing sins I was truly sorry for. I guess anything is a DF offense now!

Amen sister! I don't think smoking is a good idea (I've been free of nicotine for 8 years now!) but I do believe in freedom of choice. That freedom was given to Christ himself.

BJ,
Are you a brother? Or is your wife just a sister?

hi folks,.
i just got this email from my 72 year old cousin.
what do you think of his advice???.
Happy and Undecided,
I feel the same way. My parents are very heartfelt about my salvation from Satan. It's sad really. But they continue to invite me and I continue to politely decline. One of these days they'll understand...

good news/bad news.
first, the good news: the good news, at least as far as the watchtower's multitudinous enemies are concerned, is that the watchtower's days are definitely numbered.
the bad news, as far as apostates should be concerned, is that the days for this present system, as we know it, are also of equally short duration.
Why is it people don't answer the questions asked of them?
i understand you've met my other half - now it's my turn!
i feel as though i've known some of you for ages as we've been regular visitors to the board for a long, long time so it's nice to be able to dive in at long last and make contact!
life is good - the disassociation letters went out last november and things are unbelievably quiet, no phone calls, no visits and best of all - nobody rushing up to me in the street begging me to come back.
Welcome! Looking forward to your posts!
has anybody seen the film deep impact?
it was about the possible destruction of the world by an asteroid and it came out at about the same time as the film armageddon.
the reason i ask is because this film had a very profound effect on me whilst i was still associating with the congregation.
Interesting point individual! Sometimes I am still shocked by the wonderful people of this "world" that I meet. My parents always taught me that "worldly" people are all selfish, God-hating, hypocrites. Which is not true at all! I've found more spiritual and Christian-living people in the world than in any congregation I've ever been in. I've just never though about it the way you put it! Thanks for sharing!
