Hey theres nothing wrong with glasses held together by sticky tape. As well as being an excellent form of contraception, they were standard NHS issue for one kid in every class in the UK throughout the 1970's.

So how do you keep your clothes hangers tidy?
by ozziepost inok, fluffy time!.
mrs ozzie and i are just back home and so there's plenty of laundry to do - that's my job, and i quite enjoy it, but there's one thing that spoils it for me and that's the clothes hangars!.
you know how it goes, some hangars for pants, some for skirts, some for shirts, and then some are plastic, some are steel and some are those confounded wire hangars you get from the dry cleaners.. they're always getting tangled up; it doesn't matter how well i stack them (i've got a basket for them), when i get out in the yard to hang out the clothes, there's always one, it only takes one!

I have a SPECIAL pants hanger!!
Its the daddy of hangers. Its got 5 bars that slide in and out and you hang a pants over a bar and then slide it back in.
All the rest of my pants I fold and have in drawers or in the bottom of my wardrobe (jeans and stuff that dont need to hang).
(What time is it in your neck of the woods Ozzie? Its 11am here, and im still in my dressinggown under a quilt on the sofa cos im on half term)

The Elders are closing in....my days are numbered LOL
by diamondblue1974 inyesterday i spoke to my mother who whilst she lives away is in touch with elders (and their wives) down my end of the country; yesterday she apparently spoke to an elder who rang her for my address and telephone number; she only gave my mobile/cell/phone number and said that he would have to get my address off me directly - wise move.. i think word has got round; firstly i have openly taunted elders that might lurk on this website; secondly (and known to my mother) i have started a relationship with an ex jw who lives locally, a fact they are probably now aware of.
they also know my marriage has ended some time ago.. i think they are fishing...but for the first time in the years since my exit, i am faced with this prospect without any fear.. for the avoidance of any doubt, i do not recognise the pseudo judicial powers of the wtbts and will not submit to them for any reason whatsoever.
as the net might get tighter my resolve will only intensify.. bring it on!.

My anniversary today - 1 year on the forum
by fullofdoubtnow init's one year today since i joined this board, as a more than a little nervous jw, i hadn't disassociated then.
this was a place i really needed to be at that time, as i certainly lived up to my alias when i first registered.
although i'm not in any doubt about the jws now of course.. i'm still very thankful that this place existed when i took those first faltering steps out of the watchtower, i'd still have left without it, but being here made it so much easier to leave, thanks to the kindness of the many wonderful people on here.

You broke em you dozy bugger.
You were wandering round looking for your cool Harry Potter specs, you couldnt find em. You sat down like a big lump in the armchair, and the glasses were under your rump. You couldnt see em because you didnt have your specs on. Catch 22 my friend.
Actually, I empathise. Ive lost the only pair of cool specs ive got. All my others make me look like Olive from "On the Buses".

Yea, Ive heard the North Woodchester Left Handed Cow Tipping Association are pretty mad at you too DB and are looking to excommunicate you. I never gave them your number tho, cos ive heard those guys are MEAN!
They come round in threes, stand round you in a circle and try and humiliate you for not being left handed, or not living in North Woodchester, or not tipping enough cows, or tipping them wrong... there are so many sins you can commit with those guys its unbelievable...

I hang the empty hangers alternately inbetween hangers with clothes on. That way when I go to my wardrobe to get out an empty one it cant get tangled up with another empty one.
If I have lots of empty ones spare I throw some away so there are always 'gaps' between the full hangers to put empty ones (if you see what I mean).
I cant believe I have put so much processing time into thinkin out this problem!!
BYW - I cant stand putting trousers on hangers, because the trousers always slip to one end or the other and loses its balance. And I HATE those hangers with clips on to avoid the problem I have just described. They are so clunky and awkward.

What things about "Apostates" do you feel is "controlling" as WTS?
by booker-t inone of the things that i have noticed since i have been out is that "apostates"/ex-jw's tend to try and "controll" you the same way as jw's used to do.
for example: whenever you tell an "apostate" that you are no longer one of jw's they right away asume that you want to be a "born-again" christian and try to cram the "trinity" doctrine down your throat.
also if you tell an apostate that you don't share their views on hell-fire damnation they will immediately look at you with "contempt".

WOW, you must have met the bunch of "any religion will do, weirdo fundie" branch of apostates.
Ive only met the "mis-spending our well spent youth" branch of apostates. You know the guys you were warned about at KH - hard drinking hsrd smoking hard partying fun guys you should never tell the elders you went out with because you will be marked for the rest of your life.
You should come to our next apsotofest. I promise nothing will be shoved down your throat. But you may be in danger of having a bl**dy good time. -

Oh no, I dont suppose us posting your piccie recently helped did it? Sorry.
But if they like fishing at least you will have something in common. You could talk bait, and maggots and stuff!
And if they are reading now, "hello boys, play gently with him, hes a lawyer"
