  not too sure how long it will be, but i think that i will not be in a position to look at this site.. i met some cool friends on here.

  i enjoyed having the speedy access to the private correspondence before the elders.

  thanks atlantis, and all those that have had a share in this.

  Debating With Evolution Deniers is Just Like This

  arguing with those who reject scientific evidence can be like arguing about football; just as angry and passionate, but the goalposts keep moving, and one team doesn't exist.. read more here....

  Landy, rather give a sugar-coated pill as placebo. And wait for secondary infection, then prescribe the antibiotic. Perhaps the person gets over the flu without a secondary infection. Then an antibiotic would have been unnecessary.

  I'm not arguing that what they are doing is right - I'm saying that they aren't prescribing AB for the flu. Which is what you original assertion was.

  Yes, doctors are still prescribing antibiotics for flu. They have been doing it 25 years ago, and they are still doing it. Yes, I know, they are wrong, but they are doing it. Google it and look up the following article:
  

  http://www.medicaldaily.com/prescribing-antibiotics-flu-virus-useless-and-harmful-doctors-keep-doing-it-293564

  But that's not what the article says is it?

  Yes, antibiotics are being overprescribed, but the doctors know that they won't help with the flu. They're prescribing them for possible secondary infections or as a placebo.

  I think it's widely accepted that in the past doctors have prescribed antibiotics unnecessarily.

  They haven't prescribed for flu as such, but they've prescribed them on the basis that they'll 'do no harm' or to prevent a secondary infection.

  They prescribe them a lot less these days.

  Did I misread it or did that say a disfellowshipping was announced at an assembly?

  Ponderings of a Worldly Person

  35-year-old female in california here.

  never a jw, but have had bible studies and attended several meetings and even a convention once.

  i've always been agnostic with leanings toward the belief in some deity or other, although the more i learned from the jw's, the more i've learned to doubt, not just their teachings, but the fundamental teachings of all religions.

  @ tenacious - that would be partially true (freemasonary rather than illuminati) had that been Russell's tombstone. Unfortuntately it's not.

  This is Russell's tombstone.

  

  I think sometimes it's better to keep quiet instead of looking stupid. Sorry, it's too late for you buddy.

  Indeed!

  Got my JC cancelled... (at least for now)

  so my wife and i have been in the process of fading for a few months now as per my original post here.

  about a week ago, i was browsing some ex-jw facebook groups when i saw a post that linked to the crisis of conscience book.

  i said "f@(k it" and hit share on it.. a few hours later, i get a long text letter from my mom (who was a fb friend of mine) telling me the typical "good luck finding friends in the world" and how we have "nothing in common anymore"; basically, it was a 'farewell' text.

  I will tell elders I wont post anymore such things in FB, but, I wont say I'm sorry nor lie about the facts of my situation.

  Then it will be a done deal. Apocalypse was right - as soon as you shared the link the process was set in motion.
