Blondie, we had gone to a mennonite new order (white bonnets and flower dresses) funeral and I was wearing a red suede jacket and matching skirt. I was surprised to hear from one of our mennonite employees that the one mennonite woman was telling others how dare I show up at the funeral in devils color. After that when we would go door to door I had no idea that none of them have the color red on them or in their homes. My argument to one of them was if it's the devils color then why did god create cardinals and other beautiful colored birds. No reply. I guess the joho's are no different with their superstitions, lol.

Funeral Fashion
by ThinkerBelle ini have a funeral to attend for a non jw family member and the jdub family member reminded me that i should not wear black.
for the life of me, i can't recall where this belief came from in jw teachings and i'm born in.
is there something in print or is that just a personal opinion belief?

If one has cancer they will have more insight as to whether marijuanna can help or not. Here is info from Label Licker who is living with Intrehepatic Cholangiocarcinoma. The Canadian Liver Foundation has also sent her info on this very subject as well as The Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation and Cholangiocarcinoma Warriors. Her team of specialists from Queens University are also on board with it. Here's a little piece of info and she also says hello to everyone here. To live your lives fully your way and not how others think you should live your lives:

You Deleted My Post !!!
by Simon inapparently, some people never bother to read the posting guidelines.
there are lots of helpful things in there about what to post and what not to post which explain why posts may occasionally be removed and how to complain if you think we've made a wrong decision.. the typical reasons are they they are either harassing someone over a difference of opinion (play the ball, not the person) or are simply off topic.
a rose may be beautiful but if it's in a wheat field, it's still a weed.

Did you know most jehovah witnesses don’t even follow their own rules?
by Walrus in(before you read anything i was born into this religion and am just counting down the days until i can leave) so i made one other post before because i signed up thinking that this was just a one time venting thing for me and everyone that replied on my last post was super helpful and i thank you if you’re reading this one but shit.
i’ve never released this much emotion especially to strangers, not even with my own parents and with you guys i feel like i can say anything about how i feel and it’s all good because you all feel the same as i do.
but anyway i just got into some shit with my mom and step dad.

Get your mom to watch Lethal Weapon. Damon Wayans who plays officer Murta is a jw and that show is all get out violent. But I'm sure she will say it was his after school sports that led him to this life.

Why would the org want to know on record if a disfellowshipped or disassociated person is deceased? That is really bizarre

As a child I ended up with red measles, german measles, chicken pox, mumps, whooping cough and roseola. Parents were dead against getting vaccines. Next time I'm at the docs I will ask if I can get these again or can adults still get the vaccines as to what they got as kids. Just curious. Our neighbor had gotten his flu shot and they didn't know what had caused his paralysis from head to toe. It was so bad they had to tape his eyes shut at night so they wouldn't dry out. In the end he ended up with Guillain-Barre syndrome. It wasn't until months and months later they connected his guillian-barre syndrome with the flu shot. He's highly allergic to the flu shot as he found out. Today he is back to normal but for sure you can get Guillain-Barre syndrome from it. The specialists told him he was very lucky that it started in his feet first and spread upwards. If the syndrome starts in the head and works down it could have killed him. He had also gotten an out of court pay settlement from the drug company
