Why do I feel like a Barbie???????
by babygirl30 ini said that to my therapist yesterday morning...told her that the best way for me to describe my life was to sum it all up and say 'i feel like a barbie' - cause i do!!!.
every aspect of my life was controlled: what i am supposed to wear, my 'role' as a female in the cong, getting baptized, going in service, how i'm supposed to act and talk, who i'm to associate with (or not), going to meetings, driving 'certain' cars (no 2-doors), how to do my hair, whom to date and marry, blah blah blah...... when you add it all up - that is a barbie's life!!!
any girl that has played with barbie's understands that you are purely in control of 'her'.

The Organ Transplant Doctrine
by Sharpie ini read this page http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/medical.php about old light about organ transplants..anyways so here is the timeline in short after reading that page.. organ transplants acceptable in 1961.
...it does not seem that any scriptural principle or law is involved.
it therefore is something that each individual must decide for himself.

Organ transplants still unacceptable in 1975 for some preposterous reason. The oddest one yet. Hell, cannibalism made more sense then this
"A peculiar factor sometimes noted is a so-called 'personality transplant.' That is, the recipient in some cases has seemed to adopt certain personality factors of the person from whom the organ came." Watchtower 1975 September 1 p.519Thats classic. I used to love USA's Up All Night as a kid and teenager with Gilbert Godfrey and Rhonda, cant remember her last name. But they showed all the weird B-movies from the 80's and late 70's, and a couple flicks seem based off this article. Remember "The Hand"? Dude gets a hand transplant and the hand was from a serial killer or something, and the transplant recipient started killing people or somthing like that?

Gladiator is right, women never admit to being wrong. Even when they go a round about way of admitting some error on their part, they have a steady supply of convenient excuses. "I wasn't feeling well." "You know how I get during that time of the month." "My mother was sick."
They truly are a fascinating species.

I don't know how any of you can eat that stuff. Terrible. Disgusting. Reading this is enough to tempt me to convert to the Nation of Islam.

Min, you have to eat something with those sometimes. I went to the movies one night, and right before stepping out the door, I remembered I forgot to take my Centrum. While driving to the movies, my stomach felt like someone was sticking a knife through it. One thing I find somewhat humurous is how your urine turns fluorescent green after taking a multivitamin. I think the body gets rid of excess vitamin B. Your urine looks like ectoplasm after taking one.

Mary did an excellant review of that particular Watchtower. I was lurking here at the time, but that was the lightbulb for me. It was a really poor attempt by the Writing Department at preventing people from seeking spirituality elsewhere. It had the opposite effect on me. I owe my gratitude to Mary, and whoever wrote that in New York.

Was it EX JW literature / WT's or the BIBLE which woke you up? Post scriptures if any....
by EndofMysteries ini considered myself immune to ex jw stuff.
no amount of old watchtowers or anything would change me.
it was seeing treatment of others by elders and the bible itself, which woke me.

I'd say a whole bunch of little things over the years, but a WT from early last year, or late 2008( I can't recall), that Mary did a review of on here at JWN, that really made me alert. In the article, the writer posed the questioned, "Have those who've left JWs, found abundent spiritual food outside of JWs? No!! For there are none!" I'll never forget that. I remember looking around the audience during that lesson and wondering if anybody else picked up ridiculous that line was. Lately the use of exclamation marks in WT literature is driving me nuts. I mean really driving me insane. They use it sentences that are designed to make the reader feel good, but it has the opposite effect on me. Sentences like, "How exciting that must have been!" "How much more so we should show our appreciation!" I hate that.
