new boy.
it is what they call new guys at bethel.
its a way the guys, who have been there awile (like over a year) to put you down.................if you are a new boy you don't know how the organization really works.. one of my favorite new boy stories is about lyman swingle gb.. lunch in the 124 lower dining room 1973. lyman swingle table head said to a new black bethelite........"boy would you pass me the potatos?
Here's a lesson in Cockney rhyming slang for you,
Bubble and Squeak = Greek
Greek people in the UK are often referred to as a 'Bubble'.
I am Greek Cypriot, therefore I am a 'Bubble'.
My avatar is a photo we took in the West Midlands safari park of a deer. It's a great picture I think.
hi everybody and happy new year.
2007 is the year i turn 40, in fact in exactly one month's time to be precise.. i've noted that a lot of people on jwd are a similar age to me.
i think it's because it takes us this long to pluck up the courage to finally leave the borg.. i need to know how turning 40 makes you feel.
Ooh time is trotting by and I need to update my countdown.

just thought i would pop in here to tell you all that i am 3 months pregnant!
it was quite a shock.
my husband and i have been married for 5 years.
Congratulations and jubilations.
37 is definitely not too old in this day and age.
Hope you have a healthy, happy pregnancy, a quick and pain-free delivery and a healthy, placid baby.
i've been online for about an hour tonight and norton has warned of four computer attacks.
yesterday norton popped at least 6 times.
in the past i have gone for weeks without any warnings of attack.
We have had so many problems with spyware lately. Things keep popping up all over the place for downloading clean up software for free, but we're not sure if they're genuine or whether clicking ok will infect our computer even more.
i left the org a few years ago but my friend in the org wants me to go to her wedding she is marrying a non jw, she has been councelled for seeing him and is on reproof, they dont know she is going to marry him shes not telling them till after, all her family are jw some are going, its a civil ceremony, will they df her if she marries him?.
No you can't be df for marrying a non jw. My sister did it and they left her alone. She was 'marked' when she started dating him though.
to all the folks in the uk, will anyone be organizing a fest any time this year , perhaps an apostacurry or apostachinese?
The possibility of an Apostanoodle was raised last year just after the Apostacurry in Manchester. Quite a lot of people seemed up for it. I think Birmingham was mentioned as good place to go for Chinese.
All we need is someone to organise it. You up for it?

one of my dobermans today, dragged a tarp off a pile of wood we had covered.
sure enough there was a large pink nose sticking out of the pile.
he went in and dragged out an oppossum which must have weighed fifteen pounds.
If you own a Doberman, Rotweiller or a pit bull terrier you are asking for trouble. All 3 breeds are known killers, and you just have to pray they get hold of a furry creature to murder! Here in the UK we have had a speight of child killings by these breeds of dog. A 5 year old girl was killed a few days ago, fortunately the dog was shot by the police.
hey what's up everyone?
hope everything is going alright.
im not doing too bad, just relaxing and doing alot of thinking.
Welcome to the board Sexyk. Your story is like many others you'll read on this forum, but you have one main advantage over all the others - your age.
Many jws don't have the courage to leave until they are much older, and we have so many more regrets. At the moment you are still healing, but rest assured you will be happy and you will get over what the evil cult has done to you over the years.
Wishing loads of happiness,
love Bubble.XXX
