  did you ever go sit outside on the porch for some fresh air, only to get dragged back in by your hair and kicked on every exposed part and you curl up into a ball because someone is growing inside of you and even the backs of your hands get kicked because you were shielding your head with them and seven years later you have to see a chiropractor on a regular basis because of it and you are walking down the street and someone passes you by that looks just like him and you involuntarily raise your shoulder up in a defensive motion and sometimes when you are getting your photo taken the flash bulb makes you wince because it reminds you of when the cop took pictures of your bruises for evidence and you would like to think of him as dead but then he calls every week and he still does not think he did anything wrong except get caught and you know that if you had gotten out of the car that night he would have tried to push you over the edge of the steep drop and you would have turned over and over in the air and landed so hard that you would have never gotten back up so instead you go home and you know that all those stories you were told when you were a kid about how domestic violence was not a valid reason to get a divorce were just the product of some sick minds and later when he holds the knife to your belly you are not there you are somewhere else planning your escape and his downfall as well and you realize that it is a lie when you say you don't think you could ever take a life because he has pushed you to that point and when all is said and done he serves eight months and moves on and gets his degree but you still feel trapped in all the poison he vomited on you and you will never be clean again and is it too much to ask to be free from the past?

  I agree with the both or you,we do have it better in our countries,but there is a lot of crap going on here that needs to be fixed as well.

  I have a disabled son,and the goverenment doesn't do much for his type of disability,saying they have no money...but on the other hand they are quick to help other people in other countries. blah blah

  DF'ed for Organ Transplants?

  by NeonMadman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  .

  i'm in a discussion with a jw who is claiming that the society never actually prohibited organ transplants between 1967 and 1980. she has read the 1967 article, but feels that, since the article does not specifically state that anyone taking a transplant will be disfellowshipped, that it was simply discouraged, but not prohibited.. can anyone help with a reference demonstrating that jw's could be df'ed during that period for accepting a transplant?

  my family has decided to shun me.

  last week my brother and my husband got in a heated debate and finally my brother asked him why he doesn't believe in the jw's and he said because there religion is based on a lie.

  well my parents found out and now have decided the best thing to do is shun me.

  my wife was speaking negatively about a sister, an elder's wife, because since i resigned as an elder, she does not give her the time of day.

  she said to me that sister-------- is a "spiritual snob.

  " i never heard this expression before.
