Hi Leo
You've got to give some notice when you're going to be in Sydney, I live 3 hours drive away so don't get there so much. But.......an international apostafest would be worth the trip.
your trip sounds great.
and Es, just keep your fluids up......you'll have a great time.
Best wishes

i have been in the same circuit since i was 2. that means that most of the 1000 or so in the circuit know me to some extent.. in my "later" days as a witness i kept a very limited close circle of friends.
but i'm still fairly well known.
not "popular" but recognizable.. my mother has recieved a lot of gifts recently (candles, a blanket, cards, candy) and tons of phone calls.
((((richie))))
well.......i figured it's about time to tell my story...bear with me, it's close to bedtime and i'll probably have to break this up.... .
i was born on may 22, 1985 into a family full of dubs minus the dad...my father never had much to do w/ religion.
after that, it's pretty much blank, except for what was recounted to me by family members..
((((jojo)))), hope it's doing good to get it out.
You're not alone

any comments or advice gratefully recieved.
diehard pioneer wife etc...

My family moved across the world to fade, but now my parents and sister/family are back in. it's easier for me in some ways cause it's not in my face all the time. I live two hours drive away from my jw relatives. I also have family who have used the depression line, but they are still shunned although only faded.
I don't think there's any easy way.................you gotta do what's best for you and yours at that time.
Best wishes

did rutherford love his wife?.
if he did, why did he reside in brooklyn, while she lived in california?.
if he did, why during the times he did visited california he resided at beth sarim in san diego, when his wife, mary, resided in the los angeles area, where his son malcolm also lived?.
I think he had ISSUES!
As 1st Corinithians 13 defined:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails...................
He failed me, and a lot of other people on this board. whether he loved his wife is ancient history, but I think not!
hey all,.
i ended up in emergency the other night had a bit of bleeding.
but all is well with bubs, im going to call it she coz i think its a she?????
Es, I'm glad you're feeling better and the scare came to nothing. Take it easy.
It's lovely to have those photos to look back on, and great to keep for the 21st birthday party!
Best wishes D

hungary workers get shock at bottom of rum barrel.
budapest (reuters) - hungarian builders who drank their way to the bottom of a huge barrel of rum while renovating a house got a nasty surprise when a pickled corpse tumbled out of the empty barrel, a police magazine website reported.. according to online magazine www.zsaru.hu, workers in szeged in the south of hungary tried to move the barrel after they had drained it, only to find it was surprisingly heavy and were shocked when the body of a naked man fell out.. the website said that the body of the man had been shipped back from jamaica 20 years ago by his wife in the barrel of rum in order to avoid the cost and paperwork of an official return.. according to the website, workers said the rum in the 300-liter barrel had a "special taste" so they even decanted a few bottles of the liquor to take home.. .

brings a new meanong to wine tasting lingo..........colour, bouquet, flavour, and body...............an impressive drop with exciting flavours, powerful, classy, structured and complex. This one will improve with age so bury it in your cellar for a few years!
I'm hoping it is a myth
i don't know about other patrs of the world but in the uk, youngsters were expected to refer to older ones as auntie or uncle.
i publicly told my children not to do this, i thought it was reeeeally creepy.
my main reason for this is that i think it creates trust in people that are strangers to the family unit and for some kids, it's part of the grooming process for molestation.
We were raised to refer to all of our parents' friends in the congregation in Glasgow as uncle or auntie. I thought it was a JW thing, but maybe it's a general UK custom.
I liked it at the time, but now I would never dream of telling my kids to call a friend by that term.
there is a few things that i am involved in, and have been for quite sometime.
i feel that it is important to raise my children in this type of environment, so that they see outside of the box, and not be so closed minded on our surroundings.
many are in need, and it is easy to close our eyes and forget.. my main charity work will always benefit children.. this weekend i have gathered many things from my house such as kids clothes, shoes, jackets...and i bought many blankets, cook ware, along with money etc... this will all go to easter seals.
((((brookie)))), you go girl, and make sure you're wearing those hotdiggity shoes too!
I've been involved with various volunteer groups for several years now and find it brings an inner happiness. I still deliver meals on wheels regularly.
Looking glass, after reading your profile resume i'm shocked that you have time for anything else in your life............hehe
