  Can You Apologize When You Are Wrong?

  by minimus in

  jehovah's witnesses are the "rightest" people on earth.

  they never admit to mistakes.

  and if they do, more often than not,obvious sincerity is lacking.

  Interesting to see comments about Mikey boy...

  You saying that I've got multiple accounts on Ebay?

  Psst...it's actually Mikronboy.

  Oh..now you come to mention it, it was a bit controversial as I recall: Cut and paste only for Ebay.

  Smells that evoke memories...

  by LittleToe in

  2. friends

  isn't it funny how certain smells can have a strong effect in evoking distant memories?.

  i was reminded of this when i just opened my desk drawer.

  a little earlier today i bought a local newspaper (which is unusual for me) and didn't have time to read it so i stuck it in the drawer.

  The reason that smells are so evocative of childhood is because our noses were so much nearer (being so much smaller) to everything that does smell. Flowers, chalk, Jeyes Fluid, Manchester, you name it.

  It would indeed be outrageous if the UK were not to assist our American cousins in this disaster. I'm sure that moves are already afoot.

  However, by no means all Brits want to help. Miserable bastards. This BBC discussion board will give you some idea of what people are thinking:

  Did Your Experience As A Witness REALLY "Damage" You?

  I don't think it actually damaged me. It did play havoc with my maturation though. When I left the JW's, I really threw the baby out with the bathwater. I did some awful things. I would get these uncomfortable guilty feelings and wonder why I felt guilty when I was no longer a JW. Much later I realised it was my own higher self insisting that I made changes. Then I realised that I had a morals that were my own and not having their origins in a religion. So then I started listening to myself.

  I hope that makes sense.
