  i need to let you know that dad passed away this morning at 8am.

  Man Goes In Hospital For Circumcision, Docs Remove Penis Instead!

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a kentucky man went into the hospital for the procedure only to realize the doctors amputated his penis instead!

  the kentucky man was told afterward that cancer was noticed and because of that, the doctors decided to simply remove the appendage.

  they are being properly sued.

  The husband will no doubt be offering you a bible study..and the sister would continue with your wife.. I would try to stifle this idea.. If you start to attend meetings they will really be on you. The goal is to get studies to the meetings.. brownie points...You are doing well to get your wife to look into things you have investigated. Keep trying.. This is a terrible cult and it is easy to get in but not so easy to get out of.. Take care..

  Blood transfusions, Holidays that included family being together. Shunning, Remaining married to partners that abused you physically, mentally, and verbally. Going to meetings sick. Obeying the elders at all costs.. it just goes on and on...

  I am a back seat lady biker....I don't steer but I can control the driver....lol My husband is a harley man and loves the old indian bikes too. He has an old frame from some old war bike in our basement. you would think it was gold bars down there.. He is totally addicted to biking and wants me on the back every time he goes.. He is a non drinker..AA and this is his addiction.. so I try to go when I can. We are heading to Florida for the winter.. he works down there when we go so we will be doing a lot of riding then...Not much riding here in the winter with fifty feet of snow!...

  i have been on this board for 7 or 8 years, i have learned a great deal from all of you, but it is time for me to move on and put my life in a different direction.

  so i say so long, who knows maybe sometime in the future i will pop in and say hi.

  thanks to all of you who have done a great deal for me, i have learned a lot about cult religions and a lot about myself.
