I'd say Mormons prove it isn't all that risky
But...
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released Wednesday their annual report on health in the United States where statistics showed that, on average, 25-year-olds who received a bachelor's degree had a life expectancy almost nine years longer than those who did not have a high school diploma.
So by denying them college education they are actually shortening their life span.

They prey on the depressed. You feel happy for a while because of the love bombing. So you sign up. Then you fall back into the depression which makes it hard to leave.

What if you had something on your chin that was more offensive than a beard such as a swastika tatoo? Would they bend the rules for that? Can men wear makeup to cover it over?
Speaking of tatoos, I don't remember seeing many JWs with them. Has that changed since the tatoo craze started?
And I'm not talking born in dubs.

What was the 2012 convention drama all about?
by What Now? inwith all of the hype surrounding sparlock ... i didn't see anyone post anything about the sunday drama at the convention.. my husband and i decided that we were only going to attend the sunday of the convention.
we drove down, but got cold feet and we ended up going out for coffee and hitting up the local shopping mall, heading over to the convention for lunch to show our faces, then taking off home for the afternoon.
it was a good day ;).

WT Study for 6-17-12
by Bobcat ini did not see a thread on the 6-17-12 wt study article, so i thought i'd put this here.. .
this is just a thought on unquoted references that sheds a little "light" on why they are not sourced.. in paragraph 4 of the lesson it says: 'as one reference work states, it is "the sum total of the interior man.
"' it is referring to what the bible means when it speaks of the figurative heart.

Does the bible say anything about the heart being figurative?
Interestingly I found this site when I searched for figurative heart.

This made me awfully sad
by corpusdei injust came across this post, where a disfellowshipped blogger posted the letter from his witness mother in which she cuts off the relationship between them.
although i was the one to slam the door and cut off communication with my viper of a mother, my heart goes out to this guy - it's to their shame that the witnesses allow their religion to do this to family..

The scary part is they really think that they are doing the loving thing by shunning their kids.
