a friend of mine who is planing his fade, has just been made talk coordinator.
so he calls me and ask 'do i want to give a talk at his hall?
' he knows my situation and lurks on this board himself.
Although the suggestion sounds good, how really would this go down? Will you be subtle about what you say or quite obvious? How far can you get through something that doesnt sound right to the audience? Do you have a topic in mind and ways to develop it?

it was for a birthday treat for one of my friends, me and his best friend arranged it and wow was it a laugh!
i got some good bruises going on, but thats all part of the fun.. i'd always wanted to do it, and apart from doing something called laser quest, which is just light guns, i'd always considered it to much of a no no, when a dub.
i recommend it to anyone, there was men, women, children of say 13 or 14 too, the paint balls are a bit pricy but if its a one off, and the memories you take away are great.. cs 101.

Hi DB74,
I trust you are well - and thanks for that advice you gave a little while back, most helpful its been. Anyway, you really dont learn anything about war from paintball, the amount of times you get picked off, you'd be utterly useless in a real battle! Sure it copies some of the things from a military sense, but only in the same way a computer game would. I'm glad i've done it, and i'm not told whether or not its ok for me to do anymore. Besides i'd have loved to have had a paintball session against the Elders in my old cong!

loyal to christ and his faithful slave.
what interesting points: cross, christmas, pyramid.
q12, 13) what scriptural reasons are there for showing respect for the slave class?.
Thanks for your comments Blondie - its provoked some great discussion.
It really is so clear now to see the self promoting propaganda they use to keep their flocks in line and brain dead, now we've distanced ourselves from those lies. I'm sure there will be some attending that will feel its coming on too strong, being to presumptious, too sure of their possition, lacking humility and pride. Certainly it would be good to take the fds verses and try to be that good slave as apposed to the evil one it mentions just after. But to try and prove that you have been chosen by Christ is self promoting delusional thinking, its arrogant to say the least. If you despense 'proper' food, then why does this same food become rotten and poisionous? Was it like feeding on Mc Donalds, only to find out later it wasnt all that good for you? Proper food would still be just that, not now having harmful properties. In reality its just been a really good way to keep people under the control of that group of old men (slowly being replaced by younger ones).

these are what might be considered classic things that a person might be attracted to, in order to contemplate a romantic relationship with someone, i was particularly thinking of women being attracted to men that is.
possibily a combination of these three, is that your experience here?
what other things do you look for other than these and how much would you compromise over what you would like and what you would or have got?
Thanks for that reply, Abbagail. Quite ammusing too, just have to twiddle my thumbs a while longer yet then it seems lol.

i went and saw spiderman 3 this last weekend and wondered what others thought of it.
i liked it, but felt there was a lot less storyline covered, which seems to be the problem with all of marvels third installments (x3).
i wished it could have had more time with venom, and not the quick battle at the end, that ended all to quick.
I loved the bit where Parker went to the Jazz club with the new girl - quite funny

Is there someone for everyone or do you think many are destined to go without. Is it a basic need in most people to have someone to love and share things with, or can it be just as rewarding and fulfilling without it?
Over to you...

there it was on the delivery manifest: kingdom hall of jehovah's witnesses, assembly hall etc.. at first i was like oh no i'll bet i know the people, and it'll be awkward, i did see a few i knew of coming out - they have both a kingdom hall and assembly hall on the same grounds - anyway this kind young well dressed dude came over to the van and directed me to where it was to go, the next thing i must have misunderstood him cause another even more friendly young chap came over to see where it was i should go, anyway another person who lives there came out of his appartment and took me to where i was supposed to go, and commented that ,my van had a no smoking sign, he mentioned that by law they had to put them up, even though they are jw's and dont smoke, for those not from the uk, there is a smoking ban in public places about to come into force.
i was left with a nice impression of the people there and started wondering if it was that bad?
apart from being mislead over doctrine, didnt it look like they had a nice life style?

But i started to remember back to when I was in and it wasnt a choice, what you wore, it wasnt a choice how nice you were to outsiders, it was something that had been carefully considered and planned and inculcated over and over, to conform to a clever marketing strategy. I'm certain that the nice people I met are genuine, and realised that I was just as nice and helpful back, but out of my own choice.
