I use the "I'll read about your lifestyle if you read about mine!" And I am quite insistent that they take it! Then snicker to myself as I see a couple of Dubs stumbling down my steep drive desperately trying to shove the Gay "porn" into their bags out of sight frantically trying to get as far away from the house as possible to dump it in the nearest bin.

  My other one is to tell them that I would dearly love to read their magazines, BUT as they don't feature a "Torso of the Week" or "Spotted" section I couldn't possibly!

  How about you? What's your method of dealing with dubs?

  OH MY GOD...

Fruit.... BWAHAHAHAHA if only they knew how Fruedian that was for me!!!

  Absolute, resounding NO to both!

  I wear my Athiesm with PRIDE!

  I am a huge fan of Richard Dawkins and am currently reading his new book, The God Delusion. FINALLY it all makes sense...

  Taking an Oath/Pledging Allegience

  by BritBoy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i naturalised as a british citizen and had to take an oath of allegience to queen elizabeth in front of a magistrate.

  and now i believe there are citizenship ceremonies for new citizens, very similar to the american system.

  does this mean that active dubs cannot naturalise in these countries?

  What's the stance on this?

  I envy your excitement to see your 'Grace'. I lost my "Will" years ago and still miss him desperately. My husband doesn't get it and its sad, cause anyone with a good friend should. I hope you have a wonderful visit. Canada is a marvelous place!

  Shelly

  I am so sorry you lost your "Will". In my life, I have never been happier than I have been for the last 10 years...Cannot believe I feel as liberated as I do... MAYBE one day, your husband will meet a "Will" of his own and come to understand what Gay people are all about.

  banned bands and songs

  by aoxo in

  2. friends

  anybody have the bethal list of banned musicians and songs.

  i remember after my sister got baptised she said that the brother who dunked her under told her not to listen to a song, i think it was "new sensation" or something like that which was a popular song for the 80's period.

  i remember a lot of songs being banned because of lyrics that had nothing to do with what they thought it had to do with.

  but they would have to inform you of the action taken

  That's interesting. I heard via a third party that I had been disfellowshipped... someone who was at the meeting when they announced it... no elder called me or anything.

  Question can they disfellowship me in absentia?

  I believe they can! As I have been and never had a single Judicial Meeting nor phone call from anyone!!!
