  Hi Marion, thank you so much for sharing your story. I normally hate long posts but you had me completely gripped.
  
  It's wierd but you are exactly the same age as my mum and I am exactly the same age as your eldest son. My mum and her whole family were brought into the 'truth' by my great aunt and my mum has pioneered for many years too. Lots of similarities, so I hope someday that she sees the light like you did and gets out of the org, along with my dad and sister too.
  
  Can't wait to meet you at the apostacurry, glad I fought to get the weekend off work (it wasn't easy).
  
  Love Marie. XXX

  Maybe Interesting Blood News

  by truth.ceeker in

  i had a meeting with my heart surgeon yesterday, and after informing him of our faith, my wife still holding onto to parts of the organization, the dr. said that, "there is a new form that just came out last year from your mother church in new york.

  " what this document does is (1) make it clear that the person is not allowing blood to be used, (2) makes it clear that the dr. will have a court order ready in case blood is deemed medically necessary to sustain life and (3) absolves the person's conscience of any guilt if it came down to it.

  i'm not sure if this document has been discussed before, but i thought that it was a bit intriguing.

  First and foremost, I hope your daughter's surgery goes well. And second, I would love to see this form when you get it. What an eye opener if it's legit!

  I was in London yesterday. I walked through Soho and Chinatown, into Trafalgar Square, where I visited the National gallery. I stood for a considerable time admiring 'sunflowers' by Vincent Van Gogh, amazing.
  
  I sat on a bench in Trafalgar Square drinking in the atmosphere and the sunshine (it was a beautiful day). Then I took a stroll down to St.James' Park which is absolutely gorgeous.
  
  I walked back through the hustle and bustle of Leceister Square, then I explored the Trocadero (bought myself a bag of pic'n'mix - still a kid at heart). Then I met up with hubby (South African Beef) and we had a coffee in Starbucks, strolled down to the Slug and Lettuce for a cold drink, then we met up with friends for an Indian meal at Soho Spice.
  
  A great day, I can highly recommend it. There's no city in the world quite like London, it's fab and I am so lucky that I live so close to it (only 30 minutes by train).
  
  Hope this helps, love Bubble. XXX

  I can't believe it, I was only watching him catch a crocodile on tv yesterday.
  
  I've never seen someone with such a passion for wildlife.
  
  His death is a great loss. My thoughts are with his wife and kids.

  i've been reading your forum for a while and wanted to ask a question.. does anybody know how many take the emblems nowadays?

  they must all be about 120 years old now.

  Welcome Beautiful South. Great to see another Brit on the board.
  
  As for who is taking the emblems nowadays, I think it's only mentally retarded people and bible studies that don't know any better!!

  All my meeting clothes are stored in my loft, but I'm in the process of bagging them up and donating them to charity.
  
  I have to wear a skirt suit to work but it's my uniform.
  
  The rest of the time I'm always in trousers.

  Car boot sales are for gypsies and illegal immigrants.
  
  Normal members of society should never attend. They sap the life force out of you.
  
  So based on that I spose it'd be ok for jw's to go to car boot sales! LOL!

  Can the women wear pants YET?

  by annalice in

  2. friends

  i have not been an active witness active for several years now.

  so are the women still being forced to wear skirts and dresses still?

  i really think that the whole dress thing has been for some time now very outdated.

  I always thought the no trousers rule for sisters was ludicrous when I was a dub, but I kind of understand why they do it.
  
  It's because of those that would abuse it if they allowed trousers. Some would take it too far and not wear smart trousers but turn up to the kh in denim or combats or something really tight showing off the 'camel toe'.
  
  Even though I'm not really religious now I'm df'd, I do think it's disrespectful to go into any place of worship wearing scruffy attire. That goes for men as well as women.

  Crackdown on Marriages

  by sammielee24 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the latest rumblings are that the wtbts may start coming down hard on anyone who marries outside the faith.

  jw's who choose to marry a non believer will be df'd.

  i would imagine those marrying unbaptized ones will be marked or told to get the spouse baptized or get df'd.

  I hope they do df all those married to unbelievers. That means my sister will be df'd and then I get her back. It's a fantastic dream but I don't think it'll happen, they'd lose too many members!
