My mother told me that If I didn't 'get out' of the Witnesses, she was never going to talk to me again!
So, what could I do? I had to leave them!

New Meeting attendance policy??
by noidea ini couldn't believe it when my daughter came home from a weekend at her cousins.
she had gone to the meeting with them on sunday and had been approached by an elder (an uncle by marriage)..he was of course joking when he said this....he had the nerve to tell her that because i was not attending the meetings (haven't been for 7 months) that they were going to have to come to my home with a shotgun and make me go.
i have heard of shotgun weddings before not shotgun meeting attendance.

it is alledged that some 2000 years ago a man claimed to be the son of god , or even god himself (depends what religion you are).. in order to give some weight to his cliam he did some miracles, cured a few lepers, made a slap up lunch out of some fish and bread, and took a walk on some water.. all this to prove he was gods son.. but to prove it to who?.

Pretty good 'Post' teejay! You might add, you can be a Christian and still mow your lawn on Saturday.

"abstain from blood"
by TD inas most everyone here knows, when it comes to the propriety (or lack thereof) of blood in medicine, one of the most familiar and timeworn expressions in the jw vernacular is abstain from blood.
jws, both here (the most recent of which being mavman/yoyo) and elsewhere routinely invoke this phrase as an independent construction apparently with little understanding of what they are doing wrong .
abstain and its synonyms (e.g.
