  for those who have spelling problems you can go to google and down load their tool bar.

  it has spell check in it and works pretty easy.

  then you will no longer have to listen to us that bitch about spelling.

  The spell check is part of google tool bar http://toolbar.google.com/

  Beware when u install it though that it does contain a popup blocker and you may have trouble with sites that have legit pop ups unless you turn this feature off.

  Underground vaults of Edinburgh

  by Virgogirl in

  the travel channel aired a show, "most haunted" featuring the city walks and horribly, macabre underground vaults of edinburgh.

  supposedly the poor lived beneath the streets in caves and caverns where robbery and murder took place.

  the ghosts said to roam the underground rooms are angry and agressive with visitors, sometimes touching, pushing, or calling their names.

  Glasgow has EXCELLENT SHOPPING, much better than edin with its twee tartan shops !!! Plus you don't get constantly hassled men with blue faces dressed up as William Wallace trying to lure you into some tourist trap. Sure it has some nice architecture but then so does Glasgow and as I've said before the people in Glasgow are so much nicer, so much more down to earth, salt of the earth types as opposed to the slightly snobby em bri's

  I bit again didn't I, oh

  How Much of a Witness Were You?

  i knew brothers who would not allow a television in thier house.

  you were lucky if you were around any that listened to music.

  we would jokingly among older ones talk of going out and pulling our earth wind & fire albums out and taking them for a spin.

  I remember another dube youth party I went to, it coiuldn't have sucked as bad as the other one I mentioned because i dont remember it being bad, just this one sucky bit.

  There was an elder at the party, I'd seen him in the kitchen he was in "off duty" mode and you could se he just wanted to relax. Later on in the evening I wandered into a room to see what was going on in there. The Poor elder was trapped by brown nosing super spiritual teens, you know the type, robo witness with spots and greasy hair. They were sat around shooting biblical questions at him. The worse thing though was that having entered the room and having heard what they were talking about there was no way of escaping until you had heard at least one answer just incase you didn't look spiritual enough.

  If I was out with a mate and we came across someone working in their front garden, provided no one else could see us we'd count that one as a "not home"

  It was 10 hours a month don't know if that has changed.

  Elders look after the spiritual need of the flock, the Ms are there to deal with the flocks physical needs, mikes, literature desk, sorting out the maps for the territory, reading at the CBS (though this seemed to vary depending on your congregation) as did sorting out the school. In some congregations I was in Ms ran the school in others an elder took the role on.

  Circuit Overseer Celebrities?

  by Delboy222 in

  2. friends

  i am a active jw, but one question i would like to know is why do these 'men' get treated as superstar celebrities when they attend the congregation?.

  for as long as i can remember, there seems to be a 'buzz of excitement' when it is announced that he and his wife are due to visit.

  what is so special about them?.

  Re the way some treat CO's like celebs and suck up to them...

  I was just going through some old treads and found this juicy morsel !

  My mum recently grassed me in to the elders. The C.O. to be precise. She told him that she knew I was being immoral, I think she said that I had confessed it to her. Then she told me what she had done. I was stunned.

  Now this was from someone that had faded away and had absolutely no plans to go back. The Mum obviously knew the consequences for her son and knew that he wouldn't repent but was obviously so hyped up about seeing the CO she decided to sacrifice her son to him!!!

  Wow !

  Ah one last tip...

  In Sydney just as the nights coming in you'll see HUGE flocks of "birds" flying over the streets. ...Only they're not birds! And If you know what I'm talking about dont tell him. LOL I've seen tourists screaming and running in shops when they've realised on what the "birds" are. pmsl

  I love rain, though, and have the name of the area my Great Grandfather supposedly came from, the White Loch.

  Oh its no wonder you love the rain if yer Great Grandfather came from a Loch, what was he a fish? lol

  You do know that a loch is a lake don't you?

  Theres a few "White Lochs" in Scotland, the biggest is near Stranraer. There's another loch not far from it called the Black Loch so maybe there were villages near each loch were the locals would differentiate between themselves by stating that they were either from Black Loch or White Loch and thats what he refereed to.
  

  what are midges and weegies

  Midges are the scourge of Scotland, wee biting flies that you get out in the countryside. They're wee tiny little things and the slightest wind will blow them away and rain will wash them out so you are OK most of the time. Its when its hot and still that they become a bloody nuisance.

  Weegies - Nasty, nasty term for a glasWEGIAN (Thats someone from Glasgow), usually used by EVIL and twisted people from a city on the East coast of Scotland - Hey Scotsman, can you get disfellowshipped for hanging out with wee little old ladys, drinking lots of tea and pretending to be English and cultured? lol
