I joined H20 after you had been arrested, but Farkel kept us up to date on what was going on.
All I know is that I enjoy your posts, we've spoken in the chat room, and you seem to be a fellow ex-dub who's been through the mill.
You seem very normal to me! Here's a big English ((hug))! Thats big for us.

i'm just wondering if it is because i have changed and have gained my freedom from the watchtower enslavement or i just don't care anymore or is it that i have been exposed to too much of the same old complaints about the borg and all the false prophecies and the lies?.
i must admit i still get pleasure from reports of the watchtower walls starting to crumble al over the civilized world so i guess i'll continue to pop in from time to time.. as far as trying to de-program and rescue the poor unfortunate brainnumbed watchtower slaves, i think it's a total waste of time after all how do get through to people who prefer to believe in the lies when they know they are lies but they just don't want to see the real truth about the "truth(tm)".
i gues they don't want to see the real truth because it would force them to start thinking for them selves again and for some people that is just too much of a burden to bear.
You Know,
Love the humour. Weren't Ike's parents in the dubs?

reading through some of the posts re the mcveigh debate, it's obvious that there is a huge divide between the usa and europe over many issues, in particular with reference to the way that society should deal with deviants.. i think that there is a lot of other cultural differences between our societies, and i'm just wondering if this is why the wtbts has had a far higher "conversion factor" in the usa than in europe.. some of the phraseology contained in the watchtower magazines is incomprehensible to europeans.
i remember that words that are in common usage now, were, when first used in the wt, totally baffling.. the expression "no way" wasn't in common use until years after the wt featured it, like wise with "points up", also "right on" meant nothing to anyone.
indeed, many return visits to placed magazine householders resulted in them asking a bewildered dub for an explanation of these then strange terms.
Ozzie,
Aha! So "Randy" has the same meaning in OZ as well as in the UK eh? A person who is feeling "Randy"is very desirous of sexual intercourse?

Comf,
The expressions "No way" and "Points up" were featured in '65 Watchtowers.
Much mirth and hilarity was caused as the WT paragraph reader struggled to make himself understood.
Francoise. You said: "Time for you to knock off the American bashing"
Can't see any evidence of that, what would be the point?

Dont take this the wrong way all you Yanks, but witnessism is in fact, a very American religion. For us Europeans its sort of familiar-but-foreign, if you like its rather like an experienced American driver motoring through the UK. Everything is fairly familiar except for the fact that we make you drive on, what is to you, the wrong side of the road. Its very, very exhausting!

these signs are ready for immediate duplication.
(the bottom one entitled flyer is in actually dimensions.
) its 3x 4. it was done at fast signs which is a nationwide chain, (sign-a-rama or any other sign company can make these for you).
Attagirl, Venice,
Its easy to print these off, mount them on a firm surface and cover in clear plastic to keep them weathertight.

not everyone was happy with a swede at the helm of england's football team.. for followers of english football, defeat is a way of life.
but however hard losing may be, the idea that a foreign coach could turn around england's fortunes was even more depressing.. at least that's how some sports commentators reacted to the appointment of sven goran eriksson to the country's top sporting job.
humiliation enough that a foreign coach has been drafted in to save football's mother country, but that he should be swedish would appear to be a step too far for some.
Well, Nicolaou,
I have to agree. Everyone knows that we have the best footballers in the world, what was needed was a touch of nordic cool to cohese them all together.
I notice that you are very pro-English, nice traditional Brit name you have there, HA HA! Do I pick up a touch of Grecian ancestry?

i recieved this in my e-mail this morning.
i love the last paragraph!
it seems that these ones feel most jws aren't worth talking to as far as spiritual maturity is concerned.
Auntie Lindy,
You did not advise us to avoid the optional music feature on this site. Anyone who knows of the "Rolf Harris guide to playing the stylophone" site will know what to expect.

few month ago, i have tried the web page of http://www.watchtower.org where you can ask for a visit of a jw.. two weeks after, i received a jw at my home.
i wanted to see how a faithfull witness deal with the bulgarian's case and other topics.. for the blood transfusion he answered me:.
"decline or accept a blood transfusion is a matter of conscience.".
Charles,
Nice post. I once spent a fantastic holiday in a village near Burie, I think it was called "Lamberiere" or something like that. Sunflowers everwhere, hoopoes and kingfishers too. Wonderful.

a mexican wave.. cheerleaders.. a streaker.. ice cream / hot dog vendors.. people standing up with their fist raised high saying "yes!".
extra time.. presentation of awards.. autographs.. booing.. the audience waving their lighters as night falls.. there must be more!.

T41,
The funny thing is that those ladies are actually learning how to do the Mexican wave, my warped humour saw the caption later,
