    Hey Guys,

    Back from a tim-tam moment....do you guys have Tim-Tams in USA??I just read Double Edge's comment re Armageddon and I have to say that I really do think that if you are raised as a JW (is this what you guys call a dub??) then you have a very slanted view of the world and also a very frightening one! I can remember being about 6 or 7 and having my father who was/is an Elder telling me about Armageddon coming and the absolute terror it was going to be......scared the pants off me....nightmares the works!!

    I believe that the "glasses" I was given to look at the world have seriously messed with my ability to come out and say "OK I will go out tonight have a few drinks, maybe a cigarette (waaay BAD) and get home and enjoy it"! Instead I feel so guilty that the next time I hear about the world events changing I FREAK OUT DUDE!! I literally feel like getting down on my knees and begging for my life! Sad yeah???!!!

    Hmm anyway - what is a dub...what is the borg (apart from star trek....???)

    Cheers to all of your excellent respones and understanding...

    Whats a tim-tam moment??

    I can relate to the nightmares. No longer afraid of Armageddon. Whatever happens happens.

    A dub is a Jehovah Witness (dub=W..get it??)

    Tim Tams are Australias favourite chocolate biscuit. Around 30 million packs are sold each year - thats nearly 300 million biscuits, or two packs for every Australian.

    There are seven delicious varieties of Tim Tams: Original, Chewy Caramel, Mocha, Double Coat and Classic Dark Chocolate, Special Edition Tim Tam Hazelnut and new limited edition White Chocolate, available for six months only.

    Tim Tams were first launched in 1963. They were named after a horse that ran in the Kentucky Derby in 1958. A member of the Arnott family, Ross Arnott, attended the race day and decided Tim Tam was the perfect name for the new biscuit he was about to launch.

    The chocolate used to make Tim Tams has been specially developed by Arnotts to give a slightly caramel taste. The cream flavour is a delicate mixture of vanilla, butter and chocolate that complements the biscuit base and the chocolate. Its this unique cream which sets Tim Tam apart from any other chocolate biscuit.

    You can buy Tim Tam in a variety of pack sizes including Tim Tam Fingers, Tim Tam Indulgence pack, Tim Tam Bar and Tim Tam Multipack.

    Chicken Lips - Would you mind telling me what you believe in, so we can strip your beliefs to shreads? Just kidding...

    Seriously though, do you feel that God condemns everything you do? What about his quality of mercy? Love? Kindness? I don't think He is as judgemental as humans would like us to believe.

    If you want someone to talk to, email me your phone number and we can have a chat.
