Dams, no this is like my 10th trip to Canada... I ADORE your country!
Kwin, the reason why is this... by the time I have cleared customs and immigration and picked up my luggage, that's an hour (at least) gone. Then I need to get from one terminal to another. etc etc. So in all honesty, to get my friends to drive 3 hrs to TO to collect me, then 3 hrs back sitting in peak travel, I can laze at the airport for a couple hours with some 'postates eating Tim Bits.. then hop on another plane and 45 minutes later touch down in Kingston, meet my friends, be at their house 15 minutes later and have a LARGE Mt Gay & Diet Coke with fresh Lime.... sounds good to me! I doubt I shall get to Niagara this time... was there in June this year!

RIGHT.
Flights booked!!! This is the plan:
November 9th I arrive at Pearson Int. at 12.15pm. Leave for Kingston at 16.00. So I have almost 4 hrs to kill. So far tall penguin is planning to meet me at the airport (hope the change of date does not cause any problems) for a mini apostafest at Tim Hortons. I think we shall call this one the Apostabits! ANYONE fancying meeting for a coffee.... Jeeeeeesus at the Horton, whole lotta gawkin...... let me know!

banned bands and songs
by aoxo inanybody 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.

Gerard Le Roux who studied with me (when I was a teenager) used to rifle through my CD every week and LECTURE me on my demonic music... it was the one thing I FOUGHT for while a Dub, MY MUSIC. I was into The Cure, The Cult, The Smiths, The Violent Femmes, The Cramps, Depeche Mode, The Sisters of Mercy, The Housemartins etc etc. My older sisters where more into the Hi Energy and pop movement... Gerard used to rifle through my CD's clucking, whittering, twittering, huffing, puffing... I had most of the hard core stuff on cassette so not on general display... but I had ALL The Cult albums... I remember the album Sonic Temple used to get him SERIOUSLY agitated... it kinda became sport in the end with him. Bless him... if he was Catholic, he would have crossed himself to ward off the evil spirits in that album. The ironic thing was, when I went to Bethel, I was SERIOUSLY into The Beautiful South (the remnants of the housemartins... and they are still my favourite band of all time to this very day). Gerard discovered The Beautiful South through me.... and because it sounds quite melodic, one tends not to listen to the words too much... well he never used to... it did not "sound demonised" (whatever that meant) so he used to sing along.... and lyrics like:
The neighbours ask them out but they flatly refuse
'We're saving up for a world-wide cruise'
With a choice between loneliness and love-sick QE2's
Well tonight I choose - self-abuse
A four-pack in the fridge
A good book on the shelf
I think tonight I'd rather love myselfOh, how I laugh at it all now!

Advice for Denmark/Coppenhagen
AVOID cabs... they are UNBELIEVABLY expensive. If you HAVE to use one, check and then DOUBLE check how much the fare is going to be! Also, Tivoli Gardens is a COMPLETE waste of money... truly terrible. Denmark is really expensive. The little mermaid is a bit of a let down.... The view across the harbour behind her is DREADFUL... smoke stacks belching acrid smoke into the air. There is a Irish Bar near the main train station that has elephant beer... a VERY politically incorrect faux Ivory tusk for the pump handle... and it's like, 12%.... two pints of these and you do a Stephen Hawkins... incapable of speaking or walking!
Edinburgh is lovely. Try get out of the city if you can into the Highlands. Edingburgh is terribly touristy, but if you explore the side streets you will be amazed!!

Interesting, I wonder if this will apply to JW's too?
by BritBoy incold calling exclusion zones are springing up across the uk as householders try to deter door-to-door callers, including the latest strain of doorstep "seller" - the charity fundraiser.. the town centre has become their roaming ground, but lately, or so it seems, those insistent young fundraisers known to many as chuggers - charity muggers - have moved from high street to side street..... .

If I am understanding your post correctly, it means no one is allowed to come in and advertise, evangelize, etc.
We already have that here in our "Gated Communities"......My mom lived in one for a while and absolutely no door to door activity of any sort was allowed, including the JWs.
She by-passed this by sending letters.
The only responses she got back were ....STOP SENDING JUNK MAIL!
Having lived in Southern Africa, I am well aware of Gated Communities, but here in the UK, we have VERY few, if any. This will be entire councils, similar I guess to the US County's, outlawing door to door work.... Could get VERY interesting.

Update: New Governing Body Pics - Have fun!
by Neo inthe twelve men who exert control over the lives of 6,000,000 people and who could put a stop to all the harm caused to families if they wanted to:
as i said in another thread, most of them started partaking the emblems after 1935. that's a clear sign that there's a corrosion of the "remnant" doctrine, because now most of the governing body are considered "replacements" of 'anointed ones who have fallen away'.
i finally found out the new gb members' ages.
