Amazing how much the dubs still control your life, years after (fate)
by needproof injust recently, i've been getting this feeling that i just can't escape the witnesses.
i still live in the same area as i did when i was a dub, so i always see the old faces on 'theocratic' mornings.
one such old face reared his ugly head today.

Timmy, I don't think Fifi was being serious. I have always said I would employ a witness above any other.

Now thats a good idea - I know the perfect 'brother' - Brother Mawby was so tall he could have been a lampost but he was too dim.

Just recently, I've been getting this feeling that I just can't escape the Witnesses. I still live in the same area as I did when I was a dub, so I always see the old faces on 'theocratic' mornings.
One such old face reared his ugly head today. I was a friend of him and his family for many years until I left, and then there was a big falling out because I chose to start questioning things which I shouldn't. I
Today, I walked my dog, and was going to go straight up the hill instead on right. I hardly ever go right. Today, I did, just so that I could avoid the witnesses who were at the top of the hill. And because I chose to go right, or rather, fate pushed me right, I had to witness a cat being knocked down by a car - the poor thing - obviously in a state of shock. So I approached the scene and luckily it's owner was out with one of those portable cat home things to take it to the vets. I think it's going to live, but I just hate seeing animal suffering.
If those dumb witnesses were not at the top of the hill, I wouldn't have seen anything, and I could live in ignorance. And then I thought to myself 'why purposely go out of the way for these idiots?'
Do the witnesses still plague your life?

Can one man be an Island? Bumping into old workmates - awkward
by needproof ini like to consider myself a bit of an island.
some might call what i do anti-social.
as an island, i have to face inescapable facts - those being that sometimes, i must travel to the mainland.

Well, some excellent comments made here! Thank you all. I am glad that people can relate to what I am saying.
I guess I am in my comfort zone and I know that it will not last. Although we always seem to struggle every month with money etc (cue violins) I know that I am in a Utopian time period of my life. I am not naive enough to believe that it will last a great deal of time so I guess I should make the most of it.
I read each and every one of your comments and thanks for the input.

Hi Para, excuse my inability to write your whole name. Thanks for the comments, and I also would like to keep to the head-nodding routine. Now that is the way to go, I hate the whole 'lets be big buddies' way. Perhaps my whole inability to be this great social person goes back to my total distrust of people.

Today, I traveled. I had to go to shopping, trying hard to avoid the fruit and veg isle because an ex workmate from previous employment works there. Last week I got stuck with him for 45 minutes as we spoke about our past working experiences.
As I left the store today, I felt relief to be heading home. As I began to load up the car, I heard a voice calling - at first, I thought a parent was calling his child. As I turned around, I realized that it was a very old workmate from years gone by. Now I don't want to sound rude, but these kind of liaisons I do not like. It is as though the conversation is always awkward; centering around how successful (or not so) each other is.
What I am trying to say is, how small is your world? I am the kind of person who does a daily routine everyday, avoiding as many people as I can (since I work from home) and only really being sociable to neighbors. I pride myself on kindness and try to do anything for such people, so it is not like I don't like people. I just don't like any influence disturbing my little island or world.
Am I just weird, or does anybody else feel the same way?
