  Your favourite place....

  do you have a favourite place in the world...if so where is it, why and do you have photos?.

  mine has to be nisyros (a very small greek island near kos); i last visited there some years ago and ever since i was captivated by its beauty and tranquility.

  in short its a volcanic island but unspoiled by tourism; the people are amazing and so down to earth.. take a look.

  WT blood rules causes needless deaths=bloodguilt=punishment from Jehovah

  i called a kh this morning a little past 9 am and talked to a sister.

  i told her i had moved into town and had studied a few years ago, but they wouldn't let me get baptised because i didn't accept the wt teachings about blood transfusions.

  she was all excited, because they had a meeting about blood just this past week about that and she could answer my questions.

  your topic reminds mo of the time a young couple were gossiping about how unloving our congregation was and how the PO hadn't even said hello (they'd recently joined). Only they didn't realize their cell phone had accidently rung the PO and he overheard their entire conversation. He never let on though

  .........and bullying others gives their sel inflated egos a boost. Then they become detached from reality.

  While outside water shimmers and sparkles and leaves dance on branches and big white clouds float
  peacefully by That's beautiful.

  i agree we all have different thresholds to pain and different types of pain. Hopefully as you say, there will be new pain relief therapies and medications (its marvellous though what we do have).

  Meanwhile each day is new day

  Did leaving the borg ruin your marriage

  by Billzfan23 in

  2. friends

  has anyone else here left the borg and had it go over like a lead ballon, ruining their marriage?

  mine is quickly heading that way.

  i have been married for about a decade, and have a couple of kids - both in grade school.

  Would any of you recommend me taping some of her cultish "anti world" or even "Armageddon thumping" rants for use perhaps later on in court should it come down to a custody battle?

  Definitely. Remember, you are dealing with a highly manipulative organisation that plays dirty if and when it needs to in order to hang on to its members. I have taken 'precautions' because my priority has been to get my loved ones out. I love my husband but as far as I'm concerned he is not in control of his own thinking - the org is.
