I started smoking as an act of rebellion. Not too smart, in retrospect. I started playing the lottery, and haven't won yet (except the weeks I do not play).

BTW,
I am disfellowshipped, and it has made an impact on my life. I have no contact with both of my sisters. I will have been disfellowshipped for 10 years this summer. I find it offensive for mini to put up this question without sharing how it would affect him.
Share, or STFU.
JK
How about you minimus? Would it impact you?
i don't believe that there is such a thing as a perfect, or an ideal situation.
ideal is the more appropriate word to use, because the word itself denotes a conception, a remote possibility, not a reality.
i'm asking you, in your lifetime, have you ever found complete fulfillment, or felt complete within yourself, and your accomplishments?
I am still struggling with that.

God, "if there is such a MF"as that, help me with that.

okay, so i am a born-in and as many of you know almost finished reading 'crisis of conscience'... .
it disturbs me greatly that ray has passed on because i would love to talk to him.. i guess, i am so used to following someone or something that i feel like i'm floundering... i don't know... i guess i really want someone to tell me 'the way'.. from ray's writing i would be more than happy to seriously examine the conclusions he came to and his own beliefs.. i just don't know which way to turn now.
from reading his book i greatly respect him and damnit... why did he have to leave?.
I had the privelege to talk to Ray when he was alive. BA is the closest I can think of. She is a real person, as Ray was.

i know if you join the military it is considered that you have dissassociated yourself...but if you are in an accident and are given blood when you are unconcious...is that in itself reason for df?
or what if you willingly accepted a blood transfusion?
what if you do not show remorse or repentance or even refuse to meet with the elders?
Yes.

i was just over on topix.com, when i see this to a "rick fearon"(?
) kool-aid man thread.
someone noted that rick fearon lost all credibility over his "johnny the bethelite" nonsense.
damn, i wish i were a little less transparent, oops!.

with the continual emphasis that the watchtower places on following and trusting the fds and the gb in particular, one can only come to the following conclusion:.
the watchtower (and the jehovah's witnesses) are followers of a cult that worships the fds and the gb!.
essentially everything in the bible refers to the fds/gb.. everyone must listen to and follow what the gb says.. everyone must consume the "rich spiritual food" provided by the fds and the gb!.
Yes, and the ones I know are such dweebs.
