Also, great to be the one that breaks the link and saves the family eh?!
Yes indeed. I have a great feeling that my family has been rebuilt following my parents foraging in witness-land.
My brother and I are now great friends after 40 years of little contact. I have 5 children, 6 grandchildren, a very pleasant social circle and life is pretty good. I'm a very lucky man.

The words used to frame a debate have a huge influence on our feelings about it, and thereby on the outcome. Abortion is the classic example. Neither side defines as “pro-” or “anti-” abortion, rather as “pro-life” and “pro-choice”. Each term is an ambush – implying that to disagree is to identify as “anti-life” or “anti-choice”, and thereby inherit an unappealing platform.
On the subject of same-sex marriage, the term most in use these days is "marriage equality", the inference being that if you don't support same-sex marriage then you're anti-equality. Another ambush.

It's interesting that Parliament's politicians decided that a call for a General Election requires the support of 75% of MP's.
But to leave the EU only required 38% of the voting electorate to defeat the other 35% who voted.
More than 26% didn't vote, resulting in Brexiteers winning by a majority of 1,269,501. (3.78% of all who voted)Presumably the 26% who didn't vote didn't care one way or the other about the result. Or maybe they were on their phones. Or maybe still in bed. Accordingly, the non-voting 26% can't figure in any way in meaningful statistics as to who wanted in or who wanted out. It's as though they simply didn't exist. Which was their choice.

"i" news, Jan 10, 2019:
A Brexit glossary:
People’s Vote – a second referendum. But nice. Brexit referendum – not truly a vote of the people. Also nasty.
Brexiteer – someone either lying to gullible people or gullible enough to believe liars.
The People – a group who ought to be obeyed, as long as they agree with you. See: “People, Will of the”; “Gammon” Gammon – the same as “The People”, but when they don’t agree with you.
Once in a generation – every three years.
Agreeing to a common rulebook – obeying EU law.
Brexit – Brexit. (Source: Theresa May.)
Experts – experts I agree with.
Elites – experts I do not agree with. Hard Brexit – leaving the EU.
Soft Brexit – staying in some or all of the EU.
Crashing out – leaving the EU without agreeing to stay in some or all of the EU.
A bad deal – not as good as a good deal.
A good deal – better than a bad deal.
No deal – also better than a bad deal, but not as good as a good deal. See: “Apocalypse”, “Armageddon”, “Ragnarok”.

a while back i came across someone whom i'd been at school with back in the late 50's.

Yup. I did it.
A while back I came across someone whom I'd been at school with back in the late 50's. It was an all-boys school, quite tough, with the accent on games and machinery skills. Factory fodder I guess.
We communicated on and off and eventually I became part of a social FB group where no fewer than 20 of my old class mates made occasional posts. Including a few who'd really given me hard time because of my JW connection.
Eventually, after some gentle questioning from these one-time tough guys, I referred them to a link in which I'd told my life story a couple of years previously. They were astonished. More than anything though, they were intrigued as to how someone could be brought up in a cult and then lead a fairly normal sort of life once they'd left.
We arranged that I should attend a get-together in South-West London.
So, just before the Christmas festivities were due to get going, I set off for Middlesex along the M4 corridor.
3 hours later I pulled into the car park of the pub where we had arranged to meet and duly went inside. There was nobody there!
I ordered a pint of shandy (driving drink) and stood at the bar. Then a voice came from behind me. "Hello Snuggs!" It was my old class mate Bob Allen. Last seen at age 15, then skinny and into Buddy Holly, now a little larger and wanting Real ale.
Soon the place filled up. Eventually there was 15 of us present. All in our 70's. One or two musicians included. Most were more intrigued by how I'd managed to leave the dubbies than anything else.
So that's it. A persecution ghost laid to rest in a way. But mostly a realisation that life is a learning process and that most folk do indeed get kinder as the age. Here we all are:

I was a reluctant witness. Believed whole heartedly but loathed meetings and ministry work. When I finally realised it couldn't be true I was virtually whooping with delight. Grew my hair, smoked cigars, dated pretty girls, associated with whomever I liked, went to pubs instead of the Kingdom Hall, learned to play poker and snooker, went to soccer games, boxing matches and discos. Fabulous.

UK migrant "crisis"
by The Fall Guy inhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-46725343.
"writing on twitter on sunday, labour leader jeremy corbyn said: "we have a duty to reach out the hand of humanity, support and friendship to people who are in danger and seeking a place of safety.".
yes jeremy, i know exactly what you mean: i was in france on holiday a few years ago, and the lack of humanity & friendship from those frenchies really made me feel that i was in danger.

Good luck to UK when all those Polish people have left the country and you have to manage the work yourselves.
They're only here because employers won't pay a wage acceptable to the British. Migrants will typically work for much less. It could be argued that they're being exploited because of their status.
