Elders disfellowship my cousin
by YellowLab injust a little background, my cousin is 38 and hasn't attended meetings for nearly 20 years.
then, a week later, another elder and the circuit overseer came knocking for the same reason, so she decided to go to the thursday night meeting.
then on sunday, she went for the talk, and was told she had an elder's meeting at 12:30 that afternoon.

by Qcmbr injust a question because of course we all either believed we were in the 'truth', are still in the 'truth' have left and found the 'truth', there is no 'truth' or that the only truth is found in the trailer park with a bottle of bud and a bunch of 'pozzies:)

Does the bible teach that man is superior to women or just diffrerent?
by JH in.
looking at how the jw's treat sisters compared to brothers, it would seem that the jw's think that men are superior to women.. is this what the bible really says?.

Describe Yourself Without Being Revealing.
by Golf inas i told kl, i'm not sabotaging her thread, mine has a twist, for example, my wife 'descibes' me best by always reminding that i'm not 'normal.
' this means i do things differently than the ordinary person as i'm into many activities.
many of these activities involve people.

Funny FS experiences
by Effervescent ini was just watching an old rerun of "the nanny" where frans mom talks about trying to put spice into her marriage by meeting her husband at the door naked.
fran makes a face and her mother says "meanwhile you'll never see jehovah's witnesses in the building again".
i remember hearing funny stories about people coming to the door naked etc, but nothing quite that interesting happened to me.

Accidents and shock
by LittleToe ina few minutes ago i was visiting my local grocery store (co-op) and heard a crash and a thud, to my left.
there i saw a guy sprawled out on the floor, having taken some of the contents of the shelves with him.. i approached quickly, and tried to guage a response, given that he was lying flat (not far off the recovery position) with his eye's fixed and blood trickling out of his nose.. after what seemed like eternity, but was likely only a couple of seconds, he groaned and started answering my questions.
he sounded drunk (could have just been dazed, or worse) but didn't smell of alcohol.. after a few more seconds one of the shop-stewards was at his side and taking over and insisting he lay still, with another one having hightailed it to call an ambulance.

Do you feel that "all" Christian denomnations should be "abolished"?
by booker-t ini ask this question because my "atheist" friend the other day told me that he is much mentally free now since he left christianity.
he told me that "all" christians that he comes into contact with or knows from his religious lifetime are "miserable" and that the govt should abolish all christian groups for the sake of perserving the mental health of the people.
christians never are satisfied with their lives because they are trying to measure up to "jesus" and the apostles and will never measure up which causes many nervous breakdowns among religious people of all christian groups not just jw or mormons but many born-agains have mental breakdown as well.
