i know many have rejected the idea of organized religion.
i teeter on that myself.
but i have toyed with hooking to a little country church with some friendly people to associate with.
Neo-paganisim... although ulike Sirona I would not describe that as "Wiccan"
(my JW parents are thrilled their daughter is a witch! hehehe)
I love it cause it is open to many interpretations and does not discriminate. (I love the idea of a GODDESS too!)

To me this screams: INTERFAITH! Images of the harlot on the beast...
Anyone heard a JW reaction to the election of this new pope yet?
april 19, 2005: canada is the first country in the world to license a plant-based cannabinoid pharmaceutical medicine, sativex, created by gw pharmaceuticals and marketed in conjunction with bayer.
it's to relieve nerve pain for those especially with ms. sativex is a combination of plant-derived delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc) and cannabidiol (cbd).
the ratio of thc to cbd in sativex is 2.7 mg to 2.5 mg per spray, which ensures a standardized dose is delivered each time it is used.

your exceptional math and verbal skills make you very adept at explaining things to others ? and at anticipating and predicting patterns. And that's just some of what we know about you from your IQ results.
Nerd!
hehe.. I am just jealous you have 27pts on me!! lol

Apparently I am the following:
Practical Wordsmith. This means you are practical, detail-oriented, and know a good thing when you see it. Your thinking is clear and your reality is accurate. You are also highly organized. Your secret weapon is your verbal acuity. You use words to eloquently convey your ideas to others and are very good at expressing yourself in both personal and professional situations.
woah momma... this is a big no no...?? isn't it?
yup, they are going ahead with it.
i spent most of yesterday, sunday, writing what turned out to be a 10 page letter to the body of elders about why i feel they are out of line in seeking to disfellowship me (for those new to this situation, i've been seperated from my wife and living with another woman for the past six months.
i've not been an active witness for a decade.).
I would say at this point them wanting to DF you has very little to do with you still being considered a witness...
They want to officially tell the rest of the "flock" not to talk to you.
Damage control.
Good Luck!
1 corinthians 11:14 says: does not nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him;
As Scully says, if you take a close look at the CONTEXT of Corinthians 11:12-15 you will see paul was teaching a PRINCIPAL not a rule.
In fact, 1 Tim 2:9 encourages "well-arranged dress" the YPA has the following to say on the topic:
" 'Well arranged dress' would naturally be neat and clean." YPA Pg 94
Since times have changed since Paul wrote Corinthians and the "rule" isn't applicable the pricipal should be applied. I cannot see how she could object to the length of you hair as long as it is neat and clean as per YPA!!
Witness parents... gotta make a "judicial comittee" over everything!!
i am looking for some one to help me understand a particular issue as a jw would see it.... if a single practicing jw was to have an affair with a married person (not a jw) knowing that they were married what would come of them or how would they feel about this being brought with a strict jw background?
i am trying to understand this as i have no knowlege of this religion.
any help would be appreciated.
1 Corinthians 6:13-18 "...flee from fornication..."
If a single JW has sex with anyone... married or not married it is considered a very serious sin that could easiily lead to disfellowshipping.
