    Is your family still "in?" How did they react?

    No, they don't go any more. At the time they tried to insist I still went along but I dug my heels in and they accepted. A lot of families I know threw their kids out when they stopped going but my folks were better than that I guess. My dad was an elder as well.

    Welcome Coxy . . . nice to have you aboard.

    "Milton Keynes" . . . rings a bell. Isn't that where that crazy bikini clad "sister" had a stoush with the school on her boundary?

    Nice to hear the family woke up as well . . . did your exit cause them to question?

    No, I think they slowly drifted away over the following 15 years.

    Bikini clad sister? I don't know anything about that. The only thing I remember is a sister got in trouble because she entered Miss Milton keynes and it was sponsored by a tobacco brand. That was in the local paper but that was in the early 80s. i think she may have one a bikini..... she was very nice looking as well.

    Not that it's important or anything, but since you're local . . . here's the article (just click on the link)

    Interesting story. She sounds totally off her head! Do the JWs really want to be asocciated with someone like that?

    Actually to be fair . . . there are some nutters around who become JW's . . . I think they distanced themselves pretty quickly from this one. But it still didn't make for great exposure for them . . . just thought you might have heard something at the time.
