  i heard a very sad news item this morning on the way to work.. in upstate new york, a rabbi has been ordered to stop performing bris, using his mouth to suction the blood after 3 boys tested postive for herpes after receiving a bris from the same rabbi.. 2 of the boys a very sick and one has died.

  apparently herpes can be deadly on the new ammune system of babies.. does anyone know anthing about this religious ritual - why would a rabbi use his mouth to suction blood from the baby?

  what do you think would happenif every x-jw showed up for a sunday meeting,with just a bible{any version you like}and a smiling face.everyone acted as if the borg had no control over them.i'm not saying be disrespectful,you just smile,and act as if you aren't under the societies authority.no literature,no rhetoric,just peace and humility.. .

  that would make a statement!

  ps.a strong young couple in my old hall just da'ed themselves,it made my day.

  Diary of a nobody

  2. experiences

  hi, i'm new to these forums so i thought i would share some experiences of when i was a jw.. i was born in 1976 into a staunch jw family.

  my grandparents, parents, aunties, uncles, cousins etc etc were all jw's going back to the 1950's.

  when i was a child my parents, like a lot of jw parents, didn't let me have worldly friends.

  Why Do People Become/Stay As Jehovah's Witnesses???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what makes a person leave their religion and join the witnesses?

  what makes a doubter or better yet a jw that knows this isn't really the truth, remain a witness?

  i believe most stay on because being a witness is like being a member of a club.
