  ATTN WT MONITORS!! Enforcement Action Needed NOW!!

  there is a disturbing trend in my area that desperately needs attention from headquarters.

  congregations are getting together for picnics, parties, "fun nights", etc.

  this shocking disregard for theocratic order reached a head recently when what should have been termed a "get together" was flagrantly referred to as "the congregation picnic"!!!

  Skittles is a popular english pub game, think the ten pin bowling game came from it.

  We have the skittles sweets over here now too.

  My hubby works on the railway and he was told he couldn't get involved in a strike but there was no way he was going to work either (my dad didn't join the strike at his factory once and he was ignored for ages afterwards), but luckily he always seemed to get the day off that the strikes were going to start on. (Bet the jws would say that was Gods work lol)

  I used to be told Yoga was dangerous as it let your mind 'empty' and prone to demon possession (that said i did go a few times with workmates but stopped as i couldn't relax enough!)

  But whenever they knew i was a vegetarian they were always positive about that (except for usual don't know what your'e missing comments - uh i do, that's why i don't eat it) - they used to reckon that people were veggies before Noah and that they could be again in the 'new system'. In fact there were a couple of very strict vegans in our congregation too.

  Lol i'm staying out of your way then emy!!!

  That's all really good advice, am off now to have my dinner and yes with thel little ones as well. I always think the most important thing as well is to listen to your child, i love walking to school and back with my lad as we can have a chat about all kinds of things, and every night at bedtime we always have what he calls 'one of our cosy chats', which is when he can ask me anything he has on his mind, and when i get to ask about his day and how it went etc.

  Poor girl, part 3 made me cry for her pain. What a truly disgusting policy it is, i feel like sending it to hubbys mother to show her what this shunning does to people, including her son, but she's such a cold hearted cow it'd probably please her. I hate it when you get the jws commenting on videos like these, they get so nasty!
