it's a world away from the dating shows and cooking competitions commercial tv networks are stacking their schedules with right now.
but on channel 7's bride & prejudice, we meet couples whose families are dead set against their relationships.
and it's a heartbreaker..... it was at love at first sight for sydney couple chris, 39, and grant, 32. grant's parents have always accepted his homosexuality; however chris's parents have struggled and remain uncomfortable with his way of life.
Tuesday 21 February 2017 - Sydney KIIS FM Radio
Radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O interviewed Chris and Grant - and Chris revealed: “Religion gives my mum structure in her life - she found it when she was a bit of a wild child. No-one knows this, but my mum actually used to work in gay bars, back in the day.”

good article, a must read, from my perception.. i did a bachelor and master since 2001, having the same opinion, for a better present and future and for my and family sake: being an educated person, gaining respect and being proud of what i could realize in life.
a win - win situation.. http://www.npr.org/tags/510831679/jehovahs-witnesses.
for present jw and non present jw's, take your change and take the path to higher education.. g.. g..
Landy: Seventh?
haha - I make it only the sixth...
Thanks for posting... it is interesting to see the difference in 'Subject Area' choosen....
First up it was AndersonsInfo who decided for 'Friends'
Second was silentbuddha who went for 'Scandals & Coverups'
Third was freemindfade who selected 'Social / News & World Events'
Fourth was breakfast of champions who posted in 'Scandals & Coverups'
Fifth was Mum who decided to go with 'Friends' (but didn't include an actual link in the post)
Sixth is Gorbatchov who has gone with 'Friends'
So, the current winner is 'Friends'
yesterday i was listening to the radio at work as usual.
i listen to npr (national public radio) on most days.
there was a report about some ex-jw's who were "daring to dream" again.
haha but no link this time

OK, so I think a draw now? or does 'Scandals & Coverups' still (just) win as Mum didn't include a link? hmmm
attending for family reasons, and listen in "oversee" modus to the many comments during the watchtower study.. in my opinion it was a self help article on the subject stress amongst the flock.. leave it all to jehovah and help your self with the bullet points.. what i noticed from the comments is the lot of stress mentioned.
comments after comment they told how they handle their problems.
it is a real toppic amongst them.

Good eyes there, darkspilver. Could be a spelling error or a simple typo. Either way, it originated with someone at NPR and not necessarily a JW.
haha - yeah, I realise that, it was more if a JW would actually spot it.
NVR2L8: There's another typo.....she wanted to be nurse. ..
oh dear!
TBH I'm still trying to sort out the opening section in the article.....
like many others in the faith, he was homeschooled his whole life. By the time he got to high school,
