Fishing and JW's???
by lurkernomore inso i was just reading a thread and came across a completely new jw 'rule', that of not being allowed to go fishing!..
at least it's new to me as i always enjoyed fishing as did others in my old congregation.
anyone else heard of this or had this imposed on them in they're jw lives?.

What is your relationship with ALCOHOL?
by nicolaou inhere in the uk new drinking guidelines have been issued which suggest "no more than 14 units a week - equivalent to six pints of beer or seven glasses of wine.".
another piece of the advice which is getting a lot of attention is that "if people drink, it should be moderately over three or more days and that some days should be alcohol-free.".
already people are making cries of "nanny state!

I drink a few beers every day, the occasional wine or Campari, I never get drunk.

a very few years ago my doctor calculated i drank over a hundred units a week !
i never go a night without some. i rarely ever get drunk--i hate the experience, hence--i cant remember the last time i had a hangover.
come to think of it--i cant seem to remember anything else these days.

i am officially apostate.
i found out this exactly 35 years ago. i had quit the cult 10 years before--but my born in wife remained behind.
towards the end of 1980 i started an affaire with a friend--a married sister. she got d/f for it---but--apparently ( i wasnt there )--it was announced that i couldnt be d/f---because i wasnt a jw . however--it was announced i was an apostate!
i never knew what it meant when i found out-----till years later another dub-friend told me it meant i had joined another religion !!! as if one nut case cult wasnt enough.
so--i was an apostate--for adultery. aah well--if it makes them happy.......
