LOL True Jeffro but I somehow think that 12 syllable words are going to be as rare as rocking horse sh*t when it comes to the utterances of PMJ.

The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe.
PMJ may be dyslexic or he may be no good at spelling, but he does have the bottle to come on here, so let him get on with it and I'm sure we can decipher what he's saying.
i don't post much, i guess i usually just don't have anything interesting to say.
(didn't comment much at meetings either.
anyway, been in a bit of a quandry about what to do about holidays.
I'm not going to be much help here as I'm in England and our family law is no doubt different. There's another thread here probably about 6 or 7 days old where a non JW is going through a divorce with a JW. The JW father is scaring the crap out of the kids with the Bible Stories book to such a degree that the mother has asked a child psychologist to do an assesment on her youngest child. She now seems likely to get an expert witness testimony to the effect that bans him from exposing the children albeit part time to a cult. This seems a good route to go down if you're concerened about grandparents rights. A worse case scenario but something to have in the background. Their "rights" I would have assumed are as weak as hell. Surely you just need a good attorney with tons of ammo. By the way, Meeting Skipping Doubter - made me laugh! MSD's are all over the board lol.

you must believe you are here to win those that have drifted away back into the fold.
If the prodigal son had been a JDub he'd have had his ass kicked and told to never come back. Then the father would have killed the fatted calf and had a BBQ with the elders.
i personally feel no particular need for institutionalised religion, but recognise it is a benefit to many people.
however i am constantly asked, "where do i go to now?
what is the best answer to give someone?
Do you know if he hates kebabs? I can't keep up and I'm hungry.
i'd like to list some beliefs within judaism and christianity that bear a resemblance to older pagan beliefs.
the wts is deceptive when they selectively point out such parallels, but only with respect to beliefs they reject.. for example, the wts argues that the origin of the concept of the immortal soul is in egyptian and babylonian mythology, both of which espoused such a concept.
but they neglect to also point out that babylonians wrote flood accounts similar to the noah story before the writing of genesis, or that baptism was practiced in pagan religions before the birth of christ.
OK sorry for the bum steer guys. I read it about 20 years ago and I did borrow if from a Bruvver.
That link is very interesting. I'm enjoying the extra education I'm getting on this forum.
it is a common misconception that driving on the left-hand side of the road is the "wrong" way.
a comment by a poster on another thread reminded me of something i've read.james_woods: the jaguar xke...and driving it on the wrong side of the road (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/106004/1.ashx ).
this is a melange of several articles and my own comments, that explain the reasons for the difference in driving customs... .
Interesting post Doray. I used to live in Dover when they were building the Channel tunnel and I know there was a lot of gossip about how a French person could drive out of France on the right and get over to the left when he got to England. All academic of course as it's a roll on roll off train with one lane lol. .

Hi M.J.
Not sure if I'm on the wavelength with this, but Hislop's book The Two Babylons is pretty fascinating.

A DNA swab can be taken from his mouth, but semen is another good one. Masturbating however may be against the Constitution. I'm not very well up on US law.
