Prayers through the name of Jesus?
by ozziepost init's common practice for dubs to end their prayers with words that indicate that they are being made "in jesus' name" i.e.
through the mediatorship of jesus.
more than that, dubs listening to congregation prayers would be aghast if the prayer leader omitted the words "through jesus christ" as the concluding remark of his prayer.

New opinion on Memorials
by ChileanRick inhere in chile, when the times of memorial its near, you can see a lot of brothers and sister buying new clothes for that ocassion.
so, when you are attending the memorial meeting, you can feel nobody is listening really.
everybody is looking how are the others clothed, who is a visitor, and when the meeting gets and end, nobody is really interested in other ones, but only in its friends.

DF'ed for Organ Transplants?
by NeonMadman in.
i'm in a discussion with a jw who is claiming that the society never actually prohibited organ transplants between 1967 and 1980. she has read the 1967 article, but feels that, since the article does not specifically state that anyone taking a transplant will be disfellowshipped, that it was simply discouraged, but not prohibited.. can anyone help with a reference demonstrating that jw's could be df'ed during that period for accepting a transplant?

I always disagreed with ....
by fulano indisfellowshipping on smoking.. especially smoking a cigar from time to time does not have to be harmfull.
but i personally have disfellowshipped persons for smoking sigarettes, although i never saw a good biblical base.i mean ..how many filthy fat friends did we have, addicted to sugar, carbs, and you just knew they were going to have health-problems sooner or later.
now i smoke cigars, maybe one good cuban a day, and i am slim, active and can run 10 miles without any problems.. who had the same doubts about this dogma?
