its taken the better part of a year but i'm finaly having pangs of homesickness... it all started when i saw a red london bus ( they use it around here for tourist tours) .. got worse when i went to a out door ex pat event, were it suddenly poured with rain, it was amazing to see the blitz spirt come out!
the locals packed up and left but the brits started singing ( " i'm singing in the rain!
") handing out free wine and chips, almost like a party really, everyone was so happy... and you could see the locals looking at them as if to say " you british werdios!".
Apart from family - Not much
Proper chocolate, stuff here tastes really waxy
Tea bags - the orange pekoe tea they have here is revolting. Luckly my parents always bring me some boxes of Yorkshire tea when they visit.
Thats about it!
We never watched the Queens speech when we lived there.
i used to post here...a lot!.
just thought i'd say hello to you all...you wonderful people who got out of the jw cult!
i have come to believe that we are an amazing bunch of people - we made our way despite all the odds and fought for individuality - and won.. even today i was told that going back to the hall would solve my problems (by a jw family member) and i honestly can say that i felt amusement.

Yes it An-Ha-Rad as is radical.
The g is supposed to be silent, but people often pronounce it.
yesterday ae made a rather glowing statement about me in which i quote below.
"you keep trying to fool yourself, you know there's a problem, it was pointed out to you in the past, i'll say no more , but yes there(sic) warnings must be true and for my kids safety i cannot have any dealings with you.
i'm aware of your past, i gave you the benefit of the doubt, but i'm a parent and have to always safeguard my children.".
I am going to lock this thread now, it can be discussed further through PM between the people involved.
Again to repeat, accusations of this sort are not welcome here and are taking seriously. Any repeat of these sort of claims will result in suspension

ok, im putting my neck on the line here but ive always believed that children should be raised to make their own choice, if to serve jah or not.. i wasnt ever forced to believe in anything, any religion etc, although my background is very complicated.. anyway, hubby and i have always thought that how can a child decide if they dont know what other things are, ie birthday partys, halloween etc.
so, our children are allowed to choose if to go places etc.
last year our little boy said he didnt want to go to a halloween party, this year he said he might.
