Fantastic pics, keep 'em coming.
I wish I could take better photos. Perhaps when I'm retired and have loads of spare time to persue such a hobby.
i'm a bit of a newbie here i suppose, but i've been fascinated by the photo threads that pop up now and then - notably leo's, purps and sparks.
so i thought i'd do my bit for posterity and bring you some pics from the uk that i've taken over the last few years, if that's all right with you that is!.
although i'm fully digital these days, my early work was film-based so, as a result of that training i tend to just use photoshop in the same way that i used to use my darkroom - ie.

happy, happy mom's day to you all!.
from one mom to the rest!.
Mother's Day was the 18th March!!!!!
.....in the UK.
well, a big story here in the uk is that of missing three year old girl madeleine mccann, who was abducted from a hotel room in portugal whilst on holiday.
i don't know if international posters know much about this story but the news is massive here and top businessmen, sports stars and celebs have put up over 2 million as a reward for her safe return.
this is the map of where she went missing: .
In my opinion they are stupid, irresponsible parents and they are paying the highest price for their lack of regard for the safety of their children. I don't know anyone who would leave three sleeping toddlers alone and go out enjoying themselves. These people obviously don't realise that when you have children your life has to change, that means you don't go out for meals as much as you used to and if you do you get a responsible babysitter or you take them with you.
What if one of the children had woken up, they would've been terrified to find themselves alone.
What if there'd been a fire.
What if one of them was sick.
What if there'd been a sicko paedophile in the area - oh there was!!!
I feel for that little girl but I totally blame the dim wit parents.
"mature" jw's, what do you "believe" you are accomplishing by coming on this board?.
page 371 paragraph 22 of the june 15, 1967 watchtower magazine says, "in addition to all of this, a persons faith can be weakened by what he reads and takes into his mind, dwelling upon "higher criticism," relying on worldly philosophers.
it should be remembered that, when we are reading a book, the author of the book becomes ones teacher, and for this reason great care should be taken in selecting reading matter.
Oi Beroean, shouldn't you be at the meeting or in field ministry? It is SUNDAY remember. Instead you are wasting your time (or perhaps counting your time?) talking to apostates on the Internet (haven't you had a Watchtower article dealing with the dangers of this?).
Noone really cares what you think, unless you are really here because you have doubts of some kind (my money's on that option) in which case you are welcome. But get to the point and stop berating us, we are all liberated and happy now and we don't need people like you telling us we're not.
GOODBYE.

Never been happier, never going back.
a poster on another board i frequent has started a pledge to donate blood as a statement against the jws' abhorrent doctrine that has led to the deaths of so many innocent people.
if you are willing to declare your opposition to this doctrine by donating blood please add your name to the pledge here: http://www.pledgebank.com/againstjwdogma
I gave blood for the first time last Monday. I have also joined the bone marrow donor register. They can have all the bodily fluids I've got!!!
had a jw phone me last night ,( r.thompson) ??
wanted to talk about the wicked things happening in the world.
i asked "are you jehovahs witness ?
Well done Grace. I think he was actually scared of you. LOL.
nothing of the experience would you do so?..................if not, why not?
No because life is good when there are ups and downs, happiness and sadness. That's how we learn stuff and appreciate what we have and who we have.
1.your physical attractiveness.. 2.your intelligence.. 3.your personality.. with 5 being average.. i don't think many will answer these tough questions.
