Yes indeed! The NHS saved my life. 3 operations within a 2 year period. It didn't cost me a single penny.

The Public Talks

I gave my first public talk at age 17. The society provided just a one-page outline of suggested material and a few Scriptures. So to fill an hour a person had to do a lot of research of one's own. I discovered that I was a fairly natural speaker and, TBH, really got off on the sense of power that comes from holding an audience. I would even use stories from Bonanza to illustrate principles of right and wrong.
In later years I used what I had learned about public speaking to lecture at sales conferences. Last year I was best man at my brother's marriage and managed to have the entire reception rolling in the aisles. "It is indeed a great privilege to finally be asked to be best man at one of Trevor's weddings..."

Just go and be done. Tell the EU to whistle for their £39 BILLION. They've done very well out of us so far. Time to move on.

Movies that make you cry?
by new boy inthere have been many but i had a total melt down at the end of sophie's choice.
i hadn't cried in years before i saw that movie in in 1982. i was still very much a jw at the time.
i have no idea where the pain and sorrow came from, maybe it was the fact there are things people have gone through that we have defied all reason logic.

How did your mom get even a single proposal, let alone four? I thought JW's only ever date with the intention of marrying. And if she wasn't dating anyone, then I have another question: who the heck proposes marriage to someone they've never even been on ONE date with?
She was a bonny woman. Been in umpteen congos, well-known need is greaters and also well known in bethel circles from when our dad was alive. A legendary pair. Plus frequent hosts of get-togethers, over a dozen converts between them. Social butterflies.

Why don't JWs have problems with board games involving dice?
by cognisonance inso i don't really care about these things anymore, but i was reading this article (and it's a very good one): gamified life.. in the article it mentions (without references):.
dice-based games of chance are thought to have originated with ancient divination practices involving thrown knucklebones.. .
so it's okay to play yahtzee but not okay to go trick-or-treat.

Soldiers casting lots for Jesus clothing at the time of his crucifying - some translations say it was using dice.

I'm pretty sure that's why my JW momma never re-married, despite having 4 proposals.. She wanted to be available for my dad after the resurrection even though conventional marriage would not be reinstated.
