Hey E-man,
I loved that show! I lived in London from 1991-99, and I always looked forward to Dellboy and Rodders and Granddad at Christmas.
Thanks for that very important piece of info!
My wife and I will be returning for a visit, we'll be there from Dec. 27 - Jan 6. Any idea yet what the show will air? If we're not going to be there I can have my wife's mum tape it.
Also, do you or anyone else know if the series is available on DVD or video.I'd love to bring that home with me.
Thanks,
BadWillie.

FARTING at the meetings
by gambler ini'm sure you all have some good comical stories of pple farting during prayer or other quiet times during meeting.
as a personal experience of mine, the night before i had eaten a frozen pizza, doritos, and some old chocolate milk.
this combination produced the worst smelling brew i have ever had.

Once when I was about 13 years old I was handling the microphone during the service meeting. During a question and answer talk I was standing at the back of the hall with the microphone. I suddenly got an unbelievably sharp pain in my abdomen which turned out to be gas. At the very same moment as the pain, the brother on the platform called on someone in the front row to answer. Well you can guess what happened next - I had to walk the entire length of the hall with my cheeks pinched together tighter than a gnat's ass, even still there were some audible rumblings a few times while I was mid stride.
To make maters worse, there I was standing now at the front of the hall in my shame, while the person I was holding the mic for gave what seemed to be the longest comment ever! -

Randy,
You remember when I first read info on your site, I just HAD to call you. It was important for me to speak personally to the one who had written/collated these things. I, and my wife, talked to you several times over the phone in those first few weeks. You were ALWAYS available to us. You were interested in US, and we could feel that sincerity. You never coerced us in any way to accept whatever belief you personally had. In fact, I never asked you what you had come to believe since leaving the org, and you never mentioned it either. It just didn't matter. Your compassion, insight, and love for what is right and just proved to be a huge catalyst for us in making up our minds about the WT organization. This attitude stood in stark contrast to that which we had experienced within the JW's. Your unselfishly giving of yourself to help us to that point is appreciated VERY much! Thank you again, and again, and again!
Keep up the good work, brother.

Hawk & outnfree,
Thanks for the suggestions. I know that there is no way for any JW to wriggle out of this. I t's just no use when they don't WANT to see it. I may try later with him, who knows?

I understand that the press officer at the office of public information at London Bethel on 10/22 responded to the Guardian article by refuting, point by point, the "factual errors" contained in that article. As it happens the society did apply for DPI/NGO status in 1991 for the purpose of getting access to the UN's library. In 1991 there was no requirement to sign off on a statement endorsing UN principles. In effect they were applying for a "library card". It seems that that requirement came after Kofi Annan's arrival as part of a general tightening up effected by Annan. Evidently, this requirement was slipped in unnoticed. If the Society is quilty of anything it is that they went unaware of this new requirement.
Additionally, I have learned that the Society had an observer at the UN sessions for many years. Just as in the case of the press, media or any interested observer it does not necessarily constitute endorsement. I understand that the library access was a more cost effective expedient for accessing UN info..
If and when I get any more detail on this I will pass it on. Otherwise, I will abide by your wish to limit conversation to light non-confrontational issues. Hope you and your family are well.
love,
Dad -

Thanks again for all the sympathy!
Mike and DIM,
I think you're right, I really need to keep my head down more than ever so that this doesn't go to the next level.

Xena & Closer,
My wife has her eyes wide open now, so I don't worry about our future anymore. In the beginning, when I was still discovering all this stuff she was very resistant to anything I showed her, I wondered for a while if we would be a divided household. But the way the elders dealt with her really did it for her - it's like a light went off in her head and then she wanted to know everything I know. My friends are definitely NOT the same towards me. My social life is pretty much gone now. Nobody calls, nobody invites me over to watch games or any of the usual stuff. This is probably because I stopped attending the meetings. My "friendships" were completetly conditional on me accepting everything the Org says/does.
