  Whoa OLK, welcome!

  So now I’ve sort of come to terms with things but am unable to vent to anyone

  Please vent away, you'll feel better putting it our of your system.

  Do work on getting new friends. I survived the last year or so without contact from my old KH friends who haven't called me, maybe emailed me twice to say 'come to the meetings, we miss you', and without my family, all of whom are in.

  It has been my girlfriend (non JW) who gave me the personal support I needed. And I've done a lot of venting online. My gf and I are both instropective people who don't have loads of friends, but we have a few close ones. As the year ends it dawned on me how I don't need my family's/friend's conditional love to survive.

  So, by all means, make connections, go out, have fun, enjoy yourself.

  Take it easy on searching for all the answers, it's overwhelming, it takes time. You've got the rest of your life. But I say this: don't let guilt and fear paralyse you--these are the WT's weapons over the rank and file. Trust us, it's OK, your life is yours now, go and live it in peace.

  We're here for you!

  New Study Exposes Acupuncture As Pseudoscience

  besides it being pseudoscience, what interests me about this is that even though it's something to do with the "qi" energy flowing in our bodies, that wasn't a problem for some members of my family or a special pioneer i knew.. new study exposes acupuncture as pseudoscience.

  I am not sure I buy it. It's one study, with one condition.

  It's not.

  WHO exactly did this study, who was it funded by and what alternative were the (nodoubt) pharmaceuticals firms pushing as an alternative?

  Just because people assign 'majical' names to something doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't work legitimately.

  Read the article/additional links please?

  I did, I said I have a problem with god condemning US for the sin of two people and then deciding to torture his son to make up for it.

  Aside from the fact that there was no Adam and Eve, and that I was a born in who spent years praying to a non-existent deity for the spirit you mentioned, what's the basis of your evidence for this version of Adam & Eve's (and indeed our) fall?
