A Moment Of Reflection?....
by Justice-One init has now been almost three months since i completely cut off my association with "the brothers," and told my wife that i did not want to be there when the "kool-aid" came out.

Sexual Details in Disfellowshipping hearing?
by Medic!? ini couldn't find if this was a previous topic, so i apologize in advance if it has been posted.. i am 28 years old, i have been df'd for 7-8 of those.
my parents were converted when i was 2 years old by the whole family on my mother's side.
however, about 5-10 years into it, all of that side of the family were df'd or da'd because they wanted to have sex with multiple people or smoke, drink, gamble, cuss, or whatever else they wanted.

Burning Incense might be a Sin
by sammielee24 inthe wt website now has an article on burning incense.
yes - pretty soon i'm sure they'll be telling you how to trim your toenails.
i'm surprised that they still allow dancing at weddings actually, since we know that dancing was so paganistic and led to wild, animalistic sex.
