  did you ever have a crush on a married brother or sister, and they probably knew about it, just by your actions?

  Why the British and Japanese drive on the left...

  by dorayakii in

  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... .

  WHAT IS QUINTESSENTIALLY ENGLISH?

  by Dansk in

  2. friends

  this is actually something that fascinates me and i'd like your own opinions on the subject.

  i list here things i feel are quintessentially english (with apologies to the scots, welsh and irish as they have their own uniqueness).. first of all, it's got to be a cup of tea (yes, i know it wasn't originally made here, but it has become an integral part of 'englishness').. cup of tea.

  cricket.

  I remember when my sister got married a few years ago, at the reception an elder was running the bar and only allowing one plastic cup of beer per person. When my cousins husband, a non-jw, had the cheek to ask for another the elder said "we have all had a drink there is no need to have too many we are here for a wedding not to get drunk" can you believe that! they spoke to him as if he was an alcoholic!

  He left soon after and went to the nearest pub.

  have i gone off the deep end with this one?

  a brief conversation tonight with my jw mother, who has been ill recently, triggered this.

  i called to see how she is and she warned me that she has sent me a note and hopes it won't hurt my feelings.

  I agree with jeannie here, I do hope you get a reply but if you do I can only see it misquoting scriptures to try and justify why they break up loving families.

  that your jw family were lurking here, either to specifically to pinpoint you or just to well, lurk.

  would that change the way you post?.

  what if you knew for a fact they knew who you were and they were tracking you, would it change the way you post now?.

  Not at all. If I knew they were here I would let them know that when you leave the borg you don't turn to a life of depression, drug abuse, alcoholism, prostitution, gambling etc.
