  anyone here read fantasy novels?

  i know most of us have been away with the fairies, for real.

  so i can understand if some give the genre a wide berth.

  My favourite author is Stephen Lawhead. His Pendragon cycle retells the whole Merlin, King Arthur story.
  
  He also does a nice line in Historical novels. Having a great series based around the crusades.

  I said to my wife ?Quick inside? thinking Jehovah had sent his angels to destroy the wicked.
  
  Turned out to be a laser-light show at Knebworth during a Rock concert.
  
  Has anyone else had false Armageddon scares?

  Religious programs on BBC radio four are normally excellent.
  
  David V. Barrett who is on the panel on this program always speaks good sense to me. I have his book The New Believers, which I have found very helpful.
  
  Thanks for the link Qwerty, I missed the program live.

  i watched this show religiously as a kid on pbs.

  loved it, it was a great escape from my messed up life.

  talking about it in jr. high and high school helped earn me affectionate nicknames like "nerd, spaz, dork, faggot, etc.

  Nicolaou,
  
  Yep, dunked not long after this at Twickenham. Was a non-questioning JW for the next 15 years.
  
  Its funny that whatever life changes I made to become a witness, I always felt that it was only the ?truth? that stopped me going back to former bad ways.
  
  The most liberating thing for me in becoming an Ex-JW was that now I can claim those life changes as my own.

  I could explain that I?m rather fond of great tits. But I think that may be a boob on my part.
