  That has got to be the most up beat and positive way of looking at this 'shunning' crap that I have heard.

  Cool pics - I love the AC cobra replica's. I nearly bought one a few years ago, but didn't like the finish of the kit. Not sure which maker it was, but it was dreadful. I know 'anything' can be sorted, but this would have taken so many layers of primer / paint and laquer to get the ripples out of the gel coat!!!

  I like the DAX kits, but they are so expensive......!

  What a goooooorgeous looking motor!!! Pure sex on 4 wheels!!

  JW - non JW relationships

  i'm sure that if i had come to this website as a non-jw looking for information on this cult when i was dating my jw girlfriend, i would not have taken any notice of a message like this.

  but i cannot stress this enough to any non-jw in a relationship with a jw: get out now!

  it is only natural to believe that your relationship will be different to the other failed relationships between believers and non believers which you read about on boards like these.

  Hi Simon,

  Sorry to hear you had your guts ripped out, matey!

  You've found a good place to vent, rant, cry... whatever it take to heal. Hope you rebuild your life quickly, and while at the minute it will sound like no consolation to you - you are the lcuky one. You might have been tempted eventually to 'go the other way', which is no guarantee that you'd keep the love you felt at first - many here have already had similar wounds, including myself.

  Good luck picking up those pieces.......

  i'm sorry, but i can't get this picture out of my mind, a 365 pound man flying through the air....

  six flags shouldn't have let morbidly obese man on roller coaster.

  six flags darien lake, n.y., amusement park in will pay $3.95 million to a man who sustained a large abdominal hernia after being ejected from the park's superman--ride of steel roller coaster.

  Hey Simon:

  My biggest bug-bear is on planes - you get 20Kg allowance (or whatever) but someone getting on could way double what you do ... and still get the same 20Kg. It would be better if everyone got a total allowance and if you weighed less ... well, you could take more ! (without paying extra).

  I'd have to get on naked - there'd be no allowance left for clothes!!!!!! LMAO!!!

  JW's and Funerals..... your thoughts please, including current JW's

  a morbid topic i know, but one that has played on my mind since i was df'd.. my mum is still a very devout witness.

  if anything happened to her, what would the witness position be on my attending the funeral ?.

  i know she would (quite rightly)expect a service at the kingdom hall.

  Thanks for the reply Cybs...

  then go and show them your emotions if need be then you should go.

  This is kinda the thing I'm worried about though. As regards a service for me - I don't see what the point would be - all the people who know and associate with my Mum are witnesses. What would be the point of a service for 5 people (assuming that non jw family would go to the 'main event'... and why should I turn up, show emotion, then leave ? Whilst not expressed, I know my Mum would want a service at the KH, nowhere else - anywhere else would feel like a sham.

  Maybe I ought to talk to her about it, but how do you say 'btw mum, what's gonna happen about the service when you're dead' ?? She'll think I've got my eyes on the inheritance!!

  Thanks,

  I love most cars... esp. american classics. Couldn't say what my favourite american car is, although I do love the curves of the old Stingray.

  Sports motors - the new Nissan 350 is pretty sweet...

  I tend to drift more towards Kit Cars though... I did try shoe horning an AMC Javelin 304cuin engine into my tiny dutton phaeton, but gave it up because it was too damn heavy!!! Just thinking about the performance that would have had makes me go all squiffy.....

  i was at work today and i noticed a tradesman walking through the building wearing a t-shirt with a company name on it.

  i knew it was a dub's trade name and felt sick in the stomach.

  i didn't recognize the man wearing the shirt and thought maybe the business had been sold to someone else.. at lunch time i sat near a door and saw the boss of the company.............yes, it was the dub!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

  Hi Bliss...

  weekend is just around the corner and I can do whatever I want whereas he can't!

  For now you're doing the best things possible - not thinking about them often, and looking on the positive side. Hope your angry feelings soon subside - they can really get you knotted up inside can't they...

  Remember - if the WTS is wrong as we all think - then think of all the things they've missed out on in life.. if the WTS is right... do you really think a loving God would accept people who condone paedophilia (that is what they've done by keeping quiet) into His new world ?? this 'servant', and the other conspirators who kept quiet, are wasting their lives. Full Stop!!

  ((((Big hug from the Sunny UK))))

  Hi nb-dfed - welcome to the board...

  I'm a newbie too, and have found some comfort here in the arms of my disgraced brethren!! Regarding your comments...

  I've thought about going back just to be reinstated and then stop going

  I had someone suggest that to me, when I was first DF'd. My point of view here - take it as you will.... 'doing that would be hypocritical, and a waste of time'. At the end of the day, they've unjustly judged, and sentenced you, to exhile. What makes you think they wouldn't do exactly the same thing again ?? Is it really worth putting yourself, your family, and your 'dub' relatives through all this elation, and ultimately, heartache ???

  As regards coping, I guess I'm lucky that my Mum is quite level headed when it comes to spending time with me, although I do suffer every time the jibes about going back to the borg!! I guess for every blessing there is a price to pay **Big Sigh**

  Stick around, and get the help and encouragement you need. IMHO, giving your family false hopes of you remaining in the borg would only prolong the pain!

  ((((((Big DF'd Hug!!!!)))))

  I'll elaborate on this, because it has only been touched on tentatively. It sounds like OrangeFatCat has similar worries....

  My main fear is the witnesses trying to stop me attending a 'christian' funeral to sit with my mourning family, and be a part of the whole funeral thing. If it meant a choice between starting a scene at my folks funeral and staying, or quietly melting away to mourn in quiet, I honestly think I would create havoc!

  Whilst I do not want to sound unneccessarily agressive or violent, woe betide anyone who tried to stop me!! I fear there would be need for many more funerals in their locality if they did. But then they welcome death, don't they, in the face of doing the WTS will ?( I say WTS instead of God because what loving God would want to ostracise a mourning person?) ? Quick passage into the new system and all that!!!

  I do hope I 'go' before my Mum or sister!!!!!
