A couple of posters that had a great impact on me were maximus and amazing. I've not heard of them for a long time and don't know if they have passed.
I'm in contact with Amazing on FB. He's quite right-wing by UK standards and regularly argues with my friends.

Ha! Just been back to see Dave to do another little job. He and his wife were sat around their kitchen table along with the local pastor from the Baptist church. Looks as though the dubs have lost him. Mind you, he is the most boring man you could ever wish to meet - maybe that's why he couldn't get reinstated.

Does anyone know if his last years were happy? I heard he was a great pianist.
He was indeed. Many years ago he composed a melody blending cartoon tunes with Kingdom songs.

By the end of March - I'll believe it when it happens.
In the meantime, I expect Lib/Lab MPs and Europhile Tories to go beyond sensible debate and throw any obstacles they can to prevent the triggering of brexit.This is what the PM said just this afternoon:

Our CO, Tug Wilson, was a resident London CO who just worked the Greater London circuits. He had 2 boys with whom I used to play as a kid. Until one of them told me that his Mum disapproved of me and that our contact had to be limited. I was a bad association.
I still couldn't care less..

JW's have weird attitudes towards firearms.
I recall my JW momma avidly watching the archery at an Olympics contest and then becoming apalled when I took up shooting clays and skeet.

Re same-sex relationships. There are 4 basic precepts at work here:
1. Those who are appalled purely because it goes against their religious convictions.
2. Those who are disgusted with the whole idea of gayness generally, but this is down to their own convictions and has nothing to do with any religious belief.
3. Those who believe that what people do in private is their own business, but who dislike to observe same-sex kissing anywhere, including TV and movies.
4. Those who couldn't care less about another's sexuality and care even less about same-sex kissing, wherever it takes place.
