  Why do loyal dubs post here

  this issue, of course, has been raised before.

  of course there's no one simple reason.

  arrogance, i'm sure plays a role -- the ones that feel the wts counsel to avoid dialogue with opposers is meant for the ``weaker ones'' and cannot possibly apply to someone as well-grounded and mature as they.. it may be a tacit acknowledgement that the society's arguments against debate are specious.

  So How Bad Is It To Be DF'd Really Then?

  by Englishman in

  i've never regretted getting myself disfellowshipped.. for me it was a definite pre-meditated action.

  i had realised months earlier that my belief in the teachings of the wtbts was at a total zero.

  i simply could not face another meeting, another hour in the ministry, another watchtower telling me that yet another activity was likely to distract me from wt teachings.. my parents were already besides themselves with worry, i think that when they heard that i had been df'd it was almost a relief to them.

  g'day folks,.

  yes, the winter weather is still beautiful here on the pacific side of the land of oz and we'd thought we'd have another bbq.. yes i know we did it last weekend, but we're a fun-loving bunch and jang's coming to visit, so any excuse for a party, eh?

  this time we're going to be having a quieter affair and it means we'll have to leave the harley's at home.

  British And American Intercourse.

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok, america, this is it.

  you have got to start learning english english at some point or another, after all, us brits are having to learn american english to be able to understand all those films (movies) about how you saved our arses (butts) during the 1939 -1945 (1941 - 1945) war.. now we all know the obvious ones, such as you calling a car bonnet the hood, the boot is the trunk and a spanner being a wrench etc etc.

  plus the fact that you eat fries instead of chips and spread mayo instead of butter.
