Intro from new member
by lespacino1 inthis site was recommended to me by someone on another ex-jw site i began frequenting recently.
anyway, i am an ex-jw who has been disfellowshipped for about 7 years now.
i was raised as a jw from the age of 4, didnt take to it until i was befriended by a pioneer who was an elder's wife, and she began a bible study with me because my mom ddnt have time to have bible studies with all of my siblings and me, there are 10 of us.

Did you gain any good character traits as a result of being a dub?
by beebee ini've never been a dub but i've been lurking around here on an off for about a year.
i came here to gain insight into my guy and it's been quite an eye-opening education.
thanks to all of you for all i have learned.

I think I learned the true meaning of Love - after seeing so little of it.

BLOOD card - in a nutshell
by TheEdge ini know they are renewed yearly, and here's my dilemma......my mother being a devout jw (and me well faded) - i know i am named on her card as next of kin (she mentioned it a few weeks ago) and over the years she has always asked me to stand against the blood issue on her behalf if she's unable to do so.
i have always agreed, because whatever i believe, i also respect the belief of others too.
now i'm wondering what exactly is on there........is it a flip flop?

I agree with you Mulan - I too would support anyone's right to choose. What concerns me is that this choice is not based on Bible priciple, but on instruction from the WTBTS which could change at any time.
On the Blood Card I have seen, it has no Blood Substitutes listed, just a breakdown of whole blood components (English) - maybe this is different in USA.
Many thanks for all the feedback, much appreciated.

by truth_about_the_truth inon the train yesterday on the way home from work, i saw someone sitting in front of me reading a km.
apparently a sister studying for the service mtng.
the funny thing was that i noticed that she was underlining every word in the article she was studying.

Love the rubber stamp Idea - if the WTBTS ever make one (for a small donation), CLAIM COPYRIGHT! - as for the JW on bus, at least she'll never be accused of not being 'thorough'.

I think this sort of thing is harsh and disgusting. I could never understand how ADULTS can reject a child, ANY child, let alone flesh and blood. It happened in my family and it angered me, especially when it was so blatant and had the support of its members.I used to think, ''would Jesus do this?''.....

Lol - you mean like 'Barbie' dolls? do they come with accessories, partners and friends?
'Bethal Barbie', comes with wardrobe (dread to imagine), library and NEW THIS SEASON, napkin for head. Who would her partner be? Kingdom Ken?
I want one.

Will subscribers either get their money back or be offered extended subscriptions?
Extended Subscription? That's optimistic, at least we'd know the ''END'' is not ''just around the corner''
