sorry I can't be at apostfest
by ballistic insorry i can't be at the apostfest.
i really wanted to go, but i'm not only working but as you can see from my other thread, i am avoiding all pubs, beer, smoke and anything which may cause me to start smoking again.
(sorry - i don't mean you guys are all smoking piss heads) - i just think a weekend away from my high intensity self control would not be good.

well, just as it so happens, I gave up smoking 5 days ago. Everyone in England seems to be giving up at the moment. It's too expensive here and becomes more and more anti-social as more people give up. Then there's health I suppose. Anyway, I started after being out of the org for two years and I've really enjoyed it to be honest. But the time has come to give up. It's still a fight but I think I've cracked it this time. And... I wont even let myself smoke pot either. That's how I took smoking fags up again last time I gave up.
p.s. fags are cigarettes in GB, not homosexuals.

cheers for those encouraging comments. I'm actually loosing count already, I think it's the start of the 5th day. It must be true what you say about coffee, I always feel like a cig when I have a cup of coffee, although I'm not sure if this is just association. "bad associations" LOL.
One thing I want to say though is that some of my friends who are occasional smokers don't know what all the fuss is about and say things like "yeah, well if you do have just one, you can simply give up again after it." and I want to know are there are other paeople out there who can get away with occasional smoking and giving up cigarettes every morning, i.e. do not understand the nature of addiction? -

This was the book that showed adam and eve completely naked if I'm not mistaken... but the real gossip here is that it was taken out of print before the end of it's shelf life due to a number of in-accuracies which were pointed out to the society.

no blood cards this year!
by DIM inlast night at meeting they told us to just use our blood cards from last year.
in the past they've always told us how important it was to get it signed every year so that people could see our current views as jw's.....doesn't this new arangement negate everything they've ever said in regards to this?
absolutely nuts!.

JT said about going ballistic: my question is Why????? If you already know that the rule is bogus, does it really matter when they "Officailly say it is bogus?
I've been thinking about your question long and hard and I don't fully know. I think that as it stands, it seems my father died for his beliefs. If the GB turn around and say you can take blood, my father died for nothing.
Does this make sense?

food tents - yeah I remember. Roast was laid on one year back in the early 80s at Twickenham. I was in the que behind an elders wife from our congregation and when the volunteer said "would you like stuffing sister?" she replied, "chance would be a fine thing!"
