  i don't think i've ever posted here, in ten years of being out of the religion.

  well, i won't be able to say that again.

  anyway, elsewhere and i just "met" online today, even though we've actually been cousins for a few decades.

  Cortisone worked great for me. It's been 18 months and still no pain.

  Japan's rich buy organs from executed Chinese prisoners

  .

  hundreds of well-off japanese and other nationals are turning to china's burgeoning human organ transplant industry, paying tens of thousands of pounds for livers and kidneys, which in some cases have been harvested from executed prisoners and sold to hospitals.

  Question on DF'ing

  if disfellowshipping is a biblical practice, why didn't jesus do it?

  there is no record of him doing it or even mentioning doing anything remotely like that.

  in fact, it would seem to me if that practice was set in stone back then during his time, wouldn't he have taken some similar action against judas?

  But Jesus never taught the principle of shunning. His examples were just the opposite.

  how do i contact someone?

  by ramza414 in

  i wanted to know how to contact someone to come over and talk about the bible with me.

  i can't seem to find anything online as far as contacting anybody.. the reason i ask is that my dad has been talking to someone who just randomly stopped by our house a couple years ago and i have since moved to the other side of the country (i'm in washington now :( .

  ) he is definately alot happier than he has ever been and seems to really understand the bible now.

  hey, just thought i'd do a quick intro, share some song lyrics that have spoken to me, and then have a look around.

  my name's erin/froggi, and i've been disfellowshipped for 4 years, since i was 19 years old.

  i was raised a jw, and my homelife was actually quite idyllic, typical 50s sitcom stuff, like the cleavers.

  Life Outside the Witnesses

  by jgnat in

  2. friends

  a newbie poster reminded me that jw's considering an exit may not be fully informed of their choices.

  what is life like on the outside, and is such a life worth following?.

  i'll post a summary of my lifestyle and choices in a minute, but i thought i'd at least get the thread started.

  Another Newbie :)

  by merfi in

  it's hard to know where to begin, so i'll just... begin.. i had my first encounter with jw in high school when my now ex-husband moved into our small town.

  (you're doing the math already, aren't ya?

  :) ) after finding out he was a jw, i did a little bit of reading into it, which he discouraged... told me that that stuff is "apostate" (i had no idea what that meant) and that he'd give me stuff to read.

  Sorry to hear of such mean comments. They wer losing the argument with you about their beliefs, so they as usual change the subject. Forgive them for they know not what they do, it is part of their training in dubland.
