  Well haven't been to any since my first child was born 6 yrs ago but before that these are the ones i remember

  Everly Brothers - 3 times, brilliant the first two times then changed the style and their voices werent too good the last time (but they knocking on a bit!)

  Neil Sedaka - a bit in love with himself but really brilliant!

  Dave Berry-loved The Crying Game song

  The Monkees - i love them!!lol

  The Hollies - very good

  The Searchers - 4 times in all they are great

  Helen Reddy - bit 'jazzy' for some reason, not like the record we had of her songs so disappointing

  The Nolans (ok so i probably shouldn't admit this one but i was soo young!)

  Robin Sarsdtedt cant spell it didn't go on much tbh

  Squeeze not really my kind of music

  Bryan Adams - fantastic!!!!

  Extreme - used to love them, 'more than words' sounds lovely live

  Duran Duran - 3 times very good shows but he sings a bit off key i think

  Bootleg Beatles - 4 times cos they are the best after the real thing

  Other sixties bands but i can't remember them all! I've always wanted to see Rod stewart and Cliff Richard (i cant help it!) but every time they've been performing i've been heavily pregnant and not wanted to drive all the way their and back - maybe one day if they haven't retired by then!

  what angers you about the truth

  by stillajwexelder in

  this angers me .

  elders who will not make shepherding calls to comfort their brothers and sisters but as soon as that brother or sister puts one little foot out of line those same f-----g (sorry about the language but it really angers me ) elders can not move fast enough to form a judicial committee and then are so unmerciful - it makes me want to vomit literally

  Nothing angers me personally anymore as i've gone past the stage i was at where iwas so full of rage at them all. It saddens me though to think of all those bringing their kiddies up in it, and the fear of not being able to leave because of the shunning, if i were to feel anger at any of them it would mainly be to the ones at the 'top' like the gb or elders etc who make the rules and implement them, tho i'm sure half of them just go along with it and know its not right ie blood etc

  If you are thinking of counselling and unsure ..try it!

  may seem a strange topic but i know (myself included) that sometimes we feel like we have no one to openly talk to, we are full of anger, hate, sadness etc at how we have/are being treated by loved ones, until the pain gets too much.

  there may come a point that you think about getting professional help but are unsure maybe because of not knowing what to expect, that it might make you worse not better, that you couldn't talk to a stranger etc.

  just wanted to let you know my hubbys experience so far.

There may come a point that you think about getting professional help but are unsure maybe because of not knowing what to expect, that it might make you worse not better, that you couldn't talk to a stranger etc. Just wanted to let you know my hubbys experience so far. The anger and hurt he had been feeling at our treatment by friends and family got to such a point that he just couldn't function anymore, all he did was shout at home andsit looking at the wall, at work it got so bad he failed important tests and was in danger of being removed from his safety critical position, he shook constantly and couldn't sleep, stopped laughing and was not the man i knew.

  I persuaded him to see his dr who, after signing him off work for his depression, (off for four months in all) and putting him on anti depressants, after a while he sent him to the counsellor. Although he didn't want to go and was really nervous he was so glad he went, she spoke to him of all aspects of his life, didn't ask any awkward or embarrassing questions but whatever he spoke about gave him a different way of looking at these things. He has been 6 times now and hopefully won't need to go anymore but it has helped him so much as he would not burdenme with his feelings (daft i know!) and it has proved a much needed outlet for his feelings and he says it really helps tospeak to someone unbiased and inconnected with it all. He is nearly back to normal and is being daft again like he used to be.

  Yes the problems still there, but he has accepted things much better now and can shrug his shoulders at them. Just wanted to say it really is worth a shot, it may not be right for everyone but you won't know unless you try so if you are thinking about it and wondering please go for it! x

  Let us know how you get on! This is something i want to do but have to wait until my baby is 9 months apparently they won't accept me before then! Am not sure what to expect either but want to do it to say a big thanks and give something back because one of my kiddies would have died if it hadn't been for the transfusions they had. Sounds daft but it will make me feel freer from the jws as well, like taking a huge step away from them and that awful blood doctrine. Enjoy your free cup of tea and biscuit!
