  The Westboro Baptist Church uses term "Disfellowship"

  i just got through reading a biography by lauren drain "banished-a memoir" where she writes about surviving her years in the westboro baptist church and i noticed that they use the term disfellowship.

  i thought it was interesting since i had never heard of another religion using that term.

  hmmmmm so a "hate group" uses that term.....interesting don't you think?.

  some of you may or may not know but i came out before my husband.

  he has not been to the meetings in 4 years but still acted like a witness.

  i know it has been hard on him as he was raised a witness and i was not.

  so many of you know that me and hubby were having a debate over christmas this year.

  i wanted to celebrate and he did not.

  he is not an active witness but was raised as one.

  Why does the organization respect some cultures and not others specifically American?

  okay, i am trying to wrap my head around this and it just does not make any sense.

  i could not think of one "american" tradition/culture that is "allowed" by the society.

  heck even football is frowned on.

  well my mom and i got into a pretty bad argument today over the phone.

  it basically came down to the fact that she couldn't handle what i was saying about the organization, etc and all she could come back to me was that i "hated her?

  " i guess i just wanted to share and vent a little too....thanks for letting me do so.. .

  Recent article on bride price

  i am new to the site so forgive me if i'm doing this wrong but somebody posted an article by the society recently on the christian view of brice price or something like that (sorry don't know how to find it) and it really sickened me.

  something that i have been dying to say and registered just to do so is that they are so full of it!!!

  does anyone remember the article back in the 40's about how it was not right to tip your hat at a women because that would be elevating her above the man and that the woman was never to be elevated above the man......yet during our modern times they write an article saying that this custom is not wrong or demeaning but rather how to do it in a "christian" way.......so tipping your hat to a woman is wrong but apparantly selling your daughter is aokay?????
