4 or 5 years ago there was a video posted on this site from a witness being disfellowshipped at his door.

last i knew he moved away and hasn't been back to this site.

i'd like to post the link to it, because it was taken in the same town that this article is running.

Top 10 signs you are a Fundamentalist Christian. Not my top 10 though.

top ten signs you're a fundamentalist christian .

10 - you vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

9 - you feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

this is my old congregation, and every year they put this in the paper, and every year i see red.

they still have the ability to upset me greatly.. the general newspaper audience never even realizes that they are considered part of satan's world, too!.

I Had A Blood Transfusion! Whoopeeeeeee!!

i haven't been on here in years...or many, many months...had just gotten my computer copy of "armageddon okies" and got to reading it and then was directed to this forum by another article and so many memories came back of how much this forum helped me as we left the jw's over 10 years ago.. the most significant thing to happen to me was when i had a second back surgery just this past april.

my blood count was extremely low because of the blood loss during my 6 hours of surgery and they suggested that i should have a blood transfusion.

i didn't even have to think about it...yes...bring it on...hang that little bag of blood up there so i can watch it drip into my veins.
