i think there was a thread on this at some point but search is not working, wouldn't know the keywords anyway.. but like i just thought of escape from brooklyn bethel - instead of escape from new york.. it would be cool if someone can write little blurbs for these too.

anyone have/remember others?

Brits. Will you vote in next month's General Election?

by nicolaou in

as everyone had guessed, the election has been set for may 5th.

personally, this is my first opportunity 'post wt mind-control' to vote for our next government.

i don't suppose that i will - 40 years of 'neutrality' and non-involvement have rather flattened my desire to take part in political change.. how about you?

zaphod

bit peeved.

we only have cons, lab and lib oh and a ukip in our constituency and i wanted to vote green.

i think libdem best of bad bunch. may go for them

everyone has their own idiosyncrises, mine is- .

when i get a new book, i'll open it up to the middle of the book and stick my nose in the binding for about ten seconds, and smell how the glue, ink, and fresh paper smell.

ahhhh i love that smell.

...my gran, who has been a jw since the 1950's will be reproved publicly for speaking to her grand-daughter who is disfellowshipped.

she is 77 years old and i am worried that it will be the death of her.

the"truth" has been her life for nearly fifty years and she is still a regular publisher.. if she continues to commit this gross sin she will be disfellowshipped.. her daughter and son in law are to be disfellowshipped for the terrible sin of allowing their daughter to live under their roof since she left her husband.

i will if i find out. she lives next door to an elder and i feel that i don't want to exascerbate her situation by going round.

i will try and get some info though. my dad, who thankfully never got baptised will probably fill me in when he goes to see her.

she practically brought me up (hence my becoming a witness) and i feel sick that i can't be there for her when she needs me. it could get her disfellowshipped i'm sure if i went round now.

thanks to everyone for your kind support. i really am choked. you are the good guys.

did they ATTEMPT to save you

by tijkmo in

when you were before a judicial commitee for whatever reason...did they try to get you to see the error of your ways and thus save you from destruction at the big a...or were they just happy to let you die.. .

i have a theory that goes like this...if you are sorry they think that you are not and df you...if you are not sorry they make an attempt to try and save you because its a kind of feather in their cap.. .

i was sorry...so sorry i thought i deserved to be df...and said that i expected to be..and they later told me i said i wanted to be df...which i didnt..(i was a mental and emotional wreck on the night of the jc although i tried to portray otherwise)....but even if i had, surely they had some responsibiity to try and 'readjust' me.. .
