  Assemblies are really mostly about speed dating for singles and hooking up with old friends if you're hitched. Do they still have those weird brown food tokens? Every time I smell bacon sandwiches it reminds me of district assemblies...I used to like watching the section where the deaf brothers and sisters sat and trying to see how the sign language matched with the speaker. You could do some serious 'interpretation' or translation if you were of that mind-set!

  Spook, yes, Dogville was great. Sometimes I like a big, mind-numbing blickbuster, and I thought it might be a bit overly theatrical and mannered (I'm not so sure about Lars von Trier), but it was really good, and great to see Lauren Bacall too...

  what's the strangest or most exotic food you've ever 'experienced'?.

  for me, i suppose, it was badly cooked (i cooked it myself, say no more) crocodile....i'd like to try swan, and if i can find a loophole in the law, i will.

  What to do??

  think about this for a moment.. jws believe that their relentless work now will be rewarded with paradise later.. however, in an effort to get into paradise, many jws do nothing but work, and serve god.

  i know my mother does.. so i wonder, what does she think she's going to do in paradise?

  what is there that she likes, that will occupy her eternally??.

  One of my 'guilty pleasures' when I was a JW was the hilarity of a 'householder' reponding to the 'Would you like to live forever in paradise on earth' question with a firm "Oh, no, I can't think of anything worse.' You can't really argue with that, can you? There's no proverbial 'carrot' to get 'em hooked!

  PS. Now I'm not a JW my guilty pleasures are much more exciting. I can watch 15 cert movies for a start!

  I'm just about to watch Dogville. From what I've heard, no doubt it will evoke all sorts of WBTS paralells...ahh, entertainment used to be so 'wholesome'.

  our po and his wife were both pioneers.

  he is young and a sarcastic bastard.

  one time he stood in the back of the hall while the meeting was going and said to me "this headship business is a bunch of crap!

  Wasonceanelder,

  ahh! I see! i'm not suprised the poor woman didn't go along with the 'headship crap' if that was his pillow talk in the boudoir! Good for her! thanks for the clarification....

  Thanks all. I'll think about all this. I am concerned that it would be seen as an 'informal' disassociation, and I am still agonising over it all, and what/how would be the best way to go about everything. My only concern JW-wise is my JW mother and sister, and trying to cause as little hurt or disruption as poss to them...
