  You have to remember you will be shouting her when you take her out so a naff name would make you look nuts, you might like that of course

  How about Collix, you said it was a Collie Mix

  Kiera, Tanya, Betty, Senga, Izzy, Rosie, Skye

  Just a few to be getting on with

  We did the whole Bethel thing when we went down as well

  While being an active JW, did you throw away Watchtower literature?

  by JH in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember that magazines and books came in faster than i could read, it was accumulating fast.

  in my first years, i didn't dare throw away anything.

  even later when i was starting to cool down, i still had mountains of books, magazines and brochures.

  Yes, no problem there, I paid for it so I can do what I want with it

  I still have an Aid Book with my name on it, my folks gave me it when I got dooked, I don't use it but it would seem wrong some how to throw it out

  What were your seating habits at the hall?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i would always leave a space between me and someone else.

  i hated when someone was seated right next to me.

  didn't feel comfortable.. i also loved sitting in back of a tall person, that would hide everything, like that i could close my eyes and the speaker wouldn't notice.....lol.

  Good grief Tijkmo you have rang a few bells there I can tell ya

  Gordon Webb, John Flack, John Andrews, Ray Midgley, Alistair Campbell to name but a few stayed at our place when they visited, it was a bummer as I had to give up my room for them, oh and Michael Reid as well

  Ray was a header indeed big Al's wife recounted stories of Brazil and how shoes she got repaired became possessed and she had to throw them out

  Some funny stories but also some sad stories

  Who was the big heavy guy with the bald head that sadly passed away a few years back? He married a younger sister if I remember correctly

  Scott from Riddrie went on temp circuit for a while if I remember
