This happened to someone I know. She overdosed on pills, and was found in the woods behind her house, nearly dead. Someone had called the cops when they couldn't find her. She was taken by ambulance to the hospital and she survived. A few weeks later she was disfellowshipped. There was a suicide note saying that she felt she could never live up to Jehovah's standards, etc etc. So instead of helping this poor woman, they kicked her out. A damn shame. A friend that I grew up with, went all the way through high school with, ended up blowing his brains out a few weeks after his baptism. His suicide note made it clear that he felt he wasn't good enough for Jehovah. Let me tell you, I wasn't the same after that. He had been asking for help for a while, and his requests were ignored as a whole. People didn't pay any attention until they found his dead body. God, even recalling that makes me so angry and so sad for him.

You can get disfellowshipped for attempted suicide
by solomon inyep, you can face a judicial committee if you try to kill yourself.

Some love bomb me, but others, especially elders and their wives, treat me like I'm some dirty whore. It's so infuriating. I'm not even disfellowshipped, but yet they treat me like trash because I am inactive. Family members are the worst I've found. I've always been there for them, and still try to reach out and help them, and they basically slap my hand away. Their loss, those damn bastards.

OMG, Dexter is unbelievably sexy! Michael C Hall is easily one of the hottest men on this earth, in my humble opinion. :) He makes me feel naughty, lol. I always say he can put me on a table anytime he wants.

I've entered the embarrassing stage of pregnancy - let's have a laugh :)
by freshstart inso as you get farther along in your pregnancy and you get bigger and bigger, certain bodily functions are hard to control.
the other day my husband, son and i went out for a nice lunch.
we were dressed up and really enjoying ourselves, when it happened.

@FakeSmile: Um, ok, at what point in history has it ever been IDEAL to have a child? Never. There's always some shit going on, but that doesn't mean that kids can't be happy and healthy despite it. If we all held your point of view, the human race would cease to exist. And yes, I have peed my pants already. When I was pregnant with my first son, close to full-term, he was sitting so low that any little movement he would make caused me to sprinkle! Fun times!! :)

I agree to some extent but it makes me wonder why Paul went around establishing congregations if we weren't supposed to meet together. I currently don't attend any church, as I'm still trying to figure out what I believe and get answers to my questions, but that is something that bugs me. Jesus did away with the old order of worship, but what exactly are we to do in its place (for those who still consider themselves Christians)? Tough questions, for me anyway, and I hope we can find the answers.

So as you get farther along in your pregnancy and you get bigger and bigger, certain bodily functions are hard to control. The other day my husband, son and I went out for a nice lunch. We were dressed up and really enjoying ourselves, when it happened. I went to sit down and the table in this fancy restaurant.....and my ass decided to firebomb those around me. It was awful, I tried to hold it in, I really did, but it got the better of me. Thankfully my son is young enough that maybe people thought it was him....but probably not. LOL. Oh god, it was terrible. I acted like nothing happened, and there were some other pregnant women in there who no doubt understood, but still. So that's my lovely experience that I'm sharing with you all today!! :)

Thanks! Yeah you could see him on the ultrasound with a case of the hiccups. It was the sweetest thing and we got a perfect shot of his face. It's awesome. I can't wait to meet the little guy

Tell us why you should be the next Governing Body member!
by JimmyPage ini'll start.
my platform is simple: (1) no more neckties, and (2) the only disfellowshipping offense is child molestation... and it's a lifetime ban!.
