skimming though my iphone earlier today i came across a fb post - which i now can't find!.
basically it was a claim that a gb member had stated that associating with a disfellowshipped person was akin to sleeping next to a corpse.. so obviously i'm curious as to whether anyone else has come across this..

they're known as marmite cars in the uk.
you either love them or hate them.

i am planning a trip to the west coast from vancouver down to southern ca and would like to be able to discuss it with some of you guys who know that part of the world.
i would like to do it in private so as not to give things away to anyone snooping so wondering on the best way of having a private group chat.
facebook maybe?.
Stop off in McMinville Oregon and go see the Spruce Goose!

Yep, it's a Kia Soul. Mine is the Searcher variant. It's top of the range with a full leather interior and all the bells and whistles. Plus the extra large wheels and roof rails. It seems very nippy.

i just discovered that i have gaps in my national insurance contributions for the years i spent in bethel!
i remember signing a vow of poverty and a tax document declaring my volunteer missionary status but i don't remember them ever telling me that i would have to pay my own ni contributions out of my allowance.
i am wondering about all those who have been asked to leave bethel in the last year and who are behind on their contributions.
Stan's right. You need 35 years worth. If you have less, then you may be able to claim pension credit on retirement which will top up your pension to around £235 per week assuming you are claiming as a couple.
in reading these posts, it sounds like a lot of you are very jealous of the wt.
society’s annual income and the money they/we have in the bank.
jehovah has indeed blessed us.
Deaconblues1914 spluttered:
An x-elder. Disillusioned because you were probably booted off the body for being an opinionated bully who couldn't have his way. Or were you really demoted? Or disfellowshipped doubtfull? Or is it just the end hasn't come soon enough for you? Or are you looking for perfection among men where it doesn't exist. So now you give up and quit. Huh?
Over the years - and I've seen a few! - I've come across any number of Deaconblues. He /she is one of the militant variety of JW who really gets off on provocation. Not just provocation of ex-JW's, but provocation for its own sake.
The trouble for him / her is that there is no outlet for the inner hostility that runs rampant through his / her emotions. He / she can't have a crack at existing JW's because he / she would be out on his ear via a JC very quickly indeed.
He / she can't have a crack at non- JW's because that would "bring reproach" on Jehovah's name.
So what happens? Deaconblues has figured that it's OK to have a crack at ex's. Ex's won't be stumbled, ex's won't report him / her to a JC. He / she figures that ex's are fair game, cannon fodder for his / her insults and provocation. Easy prey for his / her self-righteous posturing.
Basically Deaconblues is just a coward. A coward who gets off on his / her own verbosity.
was there anything positive about your jehovah's witness experience?.
Public speaking. I really got off on it. I think I'm a frustrated actor. I got an incredible buzz standing in front of 100 or so people and being able to hold them entranced with just a simple pause or a slight vocal inflection. I gave my first public talk at 17. It's so weird, I'll feel shy in one to one conversation yet able to perform in front of an audience. Even now in my advanced years I'm still asked to perform best man duties. I just love it. My audiences do too. Maybe I'm just an attention seeking egotist...
just seen a news clip of the old mods vs rockers fights in brighton uk in the 60s , mods on scooters (lambrettas not children's ones) and rockers on motorbikes.
well my query has nothing to do with them!.
just curious, years ago on here much mention from time to time of the mods, i.e.
I remember Lambrettas. Always getting sucked into the carbs of my Beeza and cloggin' them up...
