  Anyone else see the holes in their methods? Seems like bad science to me.

  Can anyone in NE England help me

  i only became interested in jws because by lifelong best friend and his wife are soon to be baptized.

  at first this all seemed harmless and i noticed some positive changes in their lives.

  i have studied the bible & past watchtowers plus ray franz books for 5 months to dissuade them from the path they are on.

  jaffacake - i can recommend you contact Gadget, or even myself. I grew up in the organisation; I left 4 years ago when I realised what a bunch of nonsense it is. If I you would like to contact me, just PM me and I'll pass on my details.

  Well, my mam told the Elders I was smoking weed and having sex (which I was, though not always at the same time). They came round to ask if it was true, and I said "Yeah, but isn't one of them enough for you?" They agreed just one of those was enough and booted me out. I was happy, as the 6 months prior to that of not going to meetings hadn't really clued them up.

  I left the organisation when I was 19, and in a similar situation my 2 older siblings were not Witnesses. Welcome to the boards, and if you ever need to chat just PM me and I'll give whatever advice you need. Or if you don't need any, then an ear.
  Good luck with things.

  Bear in mind British food in general was invented to be something hot and filling after a hard day's work. For that, it's a world-leader. French cuisine is designed to entertain your pallette. Both have their good and bad points. For me though, you can't beat a Sunday Roast Dinner with Yorkshire puds, roast taties and lots of gravy.

  Funnily, I love "dressing up", probably because it's so rare - and these days it's for me only!

  Making the most of life!
  
  So many... (in particular)
  
  Sex with a girl you like who likes you back.
  Classic movies you once wouldn't touch.
  The music (the devil all the best tunes, hehe).
  Friends, wonderful friends who are better in any way the witness "friends" were.
  The knowledge of the real truth.
  The food.
  
  
  So many, it cuts me when I think of the family and friends who will never experience this life because they're too busy waiting for the next one...

  Programs you couldn't watch as a kid - Chocky (UK)

  by truthseeker in

  2. friends

  when i was a kid, my mother wouldn't let me watch a program called chocky.

  for those of you who live outside the uk, and those who didn't even know about this childrens program if you lived in the uk, .

  see the link below...my mother thought this show had "spiritism" in it.

  Dungeons and Dragons was a big no-no for all Witness kids when I was a bairn. Looking back on it, the funniest one I wasn't allowed to watch was Count Duckula, as it was about "the supernatural" and because it had a pentagram shown in the opening sequence. Hehe.
