I remember as a kid watching his show here in America on rogue TV stations that would air him and Benny Hill and Monty Python. He was always my favorite. Remember that sketch where he said "they say I drowning man sees his life go before his eyes" and then they show a man at sea drowning and he is flashbacking to his days of drinking, gambling, women, etc. and when he washes up ashore two men turn him over and he's wearing a priest's collar. LOL. Or when he'd put his cigarette out in his whiskey. ~:) God bless Dave Allen.

hey everyone, wish cyg a happy 33rd belated birthday!!!

.

have a good year cyg, .

Cygnus

Thank you very much for the birthday wishes. Nobody else has bothered, and no presents have come my way, but that's okay. I did my own gift-giving at the hospital where I received lots of thank-yous from the patients and the staff. Oh, and I have to skip on the beer too as I gave up drinking 3 years ago. ;) [edited]

Where's my happy birthday? I just turned 33 and got crap for it, except for a couple of locked threads here. :(

My JW parents and JW ex-wife

since my episode, which is chronicled elsewhere on this board, my jw parents are driving up from florida to stay a week with me.

my ex-wife, who *i* divorced mainly because she was jw, came to see me tonight without my calling, just to check up on me and make sure i was okay.. some jws aren't that bad, friends.

remember that when you think of blindly look to condemn them all.

Cygnus

JT, how true that is.

NewLight2, thanks.

Six, I'm way over beliving in fairy tales. I can't control my dreams. But believe me I've talked to enough professionals about my JW days to get them fairly affluent.

Frog, thanks for the kind words.

Six, I've been on these boards for eight years. I know what I'm talking about and what I am doing. I quit the JWs in 1997 and was finally DF'd in 2000 for association with a DF'd person. Had a good time with it all. But thanks man.

I located a 1975 W.T. year book.....A question for you?

by hubert in

i found a 1975 yearbook at a used book store, but i didn't buy it, as it's kind of pricey.

however, if there is anything good in it that i can use for my research on the watchtower, i would buy it in a minute.

does anyone know if there is anything different or new that was said in it to make it worth my while to buy for my research?

Cygnus

My recollection is the 1975 yearbook contains some juicy admissions about the failure of the 1925 promises. If I came across one in decent condition for say, 10 bucks, I'd buy it.

cleaning the mind and the implanting of right thinking . . . 1970 Yearbook

by garybuss in

jw
friends

yearbook of jehovah's witnesses 1970 p.9.

watch tower bible & tract society of pennsylvania 1969 need for mental cleansing.

it is evident, therefore, that there must be a cleaning out of the mind if there is to be an implanting of right thinking.

Cygnus

Real brainwashing doesn't work. What JWs did was much more successful. Not so much today however. Heck you can be Prince and be a JW, or you can run a website like Partners In The Truth. In 2005 it ain't the same religion it used to be. And I bet that really pisses off a lot of the traveling overseers and the old timers at Bethel.

New Conversion Story at Catholic Ex-JW.com

i have a new conversion story at my website that you guys might want to read.. here is the website:.

http://www.catholicxjw.com/conversions.html.

the title is "the little frog is resurrected".

Cygnus

Hi Jeff old friend. I like your website and stories. I watched you on EWTN and you did great. I wish I had your faith and I admire strong Catholics. Think if I walked into a church a priest might take some time to talk with me about faith and god without trying to convert me? Because I don't believe in God but there's a big spiritual void in my life that I don't know how to even start to fill.
