  This got me thinking (always a bad sign) - and Schizophrenia was first described in 1896, so I don't suppose it became a common/recognised/accepted diagnosis/condition for a few years. Probably just around the time that the doors of Heaven were closed.

  A sister spoke to me at breakfast...

  i was eating a sinful double order of biscuits/gravy when this sister i knew came up to my table.

  as is usual with witness mentality, not a single word about the family or any other matter, just launched into "hubby and i were out by your house in service, stopped by but no one was home" then she tactlessly mentioned that she had not seen us around the hall for a while.

  i told her we were not attending meetings any longer.

  MC - I am not world travelled - I did not get a word of that! Hob-Nobs? McVites Digestive? Rich Tea? Bisto?

  
  

  
  
  AK-Jeff - the first three are very common English biscuits (that we dunk in tea - unless we're REALLY posh, then we get our Butlers to dunk them for us) and Bisto is gravy...aah Bisto.

  if you still believe in god or go to church.

  do you feel your baptisim as a jw is still valid or have you been baptized again.

  Under English Law, a minor cannot be party to a contract - personally I would consider all these baptisms invalid. When JW are so pedantic about Bible examples (eg, Birthdays, and the fact that Jesus's birthday wasn't mentioned therefore it ISN'T important) - why is it that as Jesus's age at BAPTISM is mentioned and can they ignore it? It must be an IMPORTANT example as it was mentioned.

  The Twilight Zone...any fans?

  by Preston in

  1. social

  i am a huge fan of the twilight zone and i wondered if anyone on the board was a fan.

  since the strangeness of the whole series mirrors my own jw life in some ways i found several episodes strangely fascinating.

  interestingly my first experience watching it was in the reprised version of the series in the 80's and there was an episode where a shadowy figure lived under a kid's bed in return he would not hurt the owner until... and that's what i think made the series unique in how they added a twist that made every episode special, disturbing, or thought-provoking.

  I used to watch these many years ago - good all-round family entertainment. I recall one with Robert Vaughan (?) who buried 2 bodies in his back garden, only to 'rise' (which he saw on CCTV, I think) - a bit vague, sorry, was that one of the episodes?

  Alchohol 101

  "sometimes when i reflect back on all the wine i drink i feel shame then i look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams if i didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered.

  then i say to myself, "it is better that i drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.

  warning: the consumption of alcohol may leave you wondering what the hell happened to your underwear .

  i love this game!

  i love being the evil genius alexis and using my henchmen and minions to utterly destroy my enemies.

  plotting and stealing from around the globe in order to build my evil lair, alexsislabs, while putting up a facade of respectability is so much fun.

  My son, Master Midwich, loves this game. He's Maximillian (the short fat chap with the monocle) - he needs one more item to get the Doomsday Device.
