Aversion to Polo mints
by New Worldly Translation ini don't know if anyone else has this affliction along with an aversion to trebor extra strong mints.
it goes back to my days attending the kingdom hall and taking a packet of mints to suck on and pass the time.
mints being the only food type allowed at meeting time i seem to recall.

I don't know if anyone else has this affliction along with an aversion to Trebor extra strong mints. It goes back to my days attending the kingdom hall and taking a packet of mints to suck on and pass the time. Mints being the only food type allowed at meeting time I seem to recall. Jehooba having commanded the elders that 'of all the abundant sweets and confectionaries provided by thy lord Jehooba. Thou may only partake of the mint; namely the Polo and Extra Strong begat by Trebor. Thus sayeth the lord Jehooba'.
Anyway now when I smell a polo mint I feel a bit queasy and memories of the trepidation of setting off for the hall and popping a mint in my mouth for the car journey come flooding back. I can even smell the malodorous, slightly sweaty, clinging atmosphere of the kingdom hall after 3 congregations of 100 people had sat and perspired with all the windows tight shut. This was another reason for taking mints to drown out that clawing hum with minty freshness.
Now alas I can't even look at a polo without the fear of deep emotional scarring. If someone sucks an extra strong in my presence I have to leave the room in case I throw up. Things aren't so bad with the Fox's glacier but I have steared clear just in case.
Has anyone else developed this phobia because of their experience with the JW's? Will I always be destined to be mint-less from now on?

Damn! I meant to watch that show but I was watching When Sharks Attack on Sky One
It doesn't surprise me he has synesthesia though. There are different types of it but one is where people can see number lines in 3 dimensions in front of them and can easily visualise very high numbers or complex sums.

Great post again SNG, thanks
Makes you wonder why pandas have been such picky eaters for so long and evolved an opposable thumb. I would have hoped humans would have developed a special thumb for uncapping beer bottles by now... oh well might have to wait another 100,000 years for that

Abi Titmuss.
by Englishman inhl and i are very good friends with her aunt.
yet she's incredibly embarrassed about abi.. interestingly, abi's father is very proud of her.
i wonder how many dad's would feel like that about their daughter?.

I'm at a loss as to who Abi Titmuss is. I've seen her and her pendulous breasts on various media snippets... but I don't know how she got there on my TV. Good luck to her though... whatever it is she does

Lou Belle - What EvilForce says makes perfect sense. I'd recommend looking further into sleep paralysis to see what you actually experienced

Crazy reasons why people became JW's...

I knew a guy who became a JW because he really wanted to get on the platform and give talks. He was something of a show off and an Elvis fanatic and thought he was a born entertainer. Unfortunately he wasn't the sharpest knife in the box. When he did eventually give talks they were crap cos he had the reading ability of a slow 6 year old but the best thing about them was he ended them by saying 'thank you very much' in his best Elvis impersonation.

Proposed Changes in UK Charity Law & JW's (BOE Letter)
by dh in.
just thought i would share this, it's good for a laugh, we all know how much charitable work the jw's do, here it is in their own words.

I posted a topic on the charity law issue a while ago
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/29/86766/1.ashx
It's intersting to see what the WTS came up with to keep in line with the new guidelines. I suggested in my topic that if enough people wrote to the govn't that JW's weren't for the public good there might be an enquiry into JW's activities and motives.

When I realized that demons are nothing but mankinds way of trying to explain evil mysteries to itself, the fear went away
I rid myself of the fear of demonz the same way Jenniebeanz
It's not so long ago that children with deformaties or people with epilepsy were thought to be demon possessed. As knowledge about the world and the universe around us grows so belief in demons will subside.... hopefully.

I go for a cycle ride out into the country. It's a great de-stresser and when you're stood on top of Otley chevin you feel like you're the only person on earth.
