  hi all,i have been studying with the witnesses for more than 6 months and regularly attend both midweek & weekend meetings, and i am nearly at the end of the "bible teach" book.

  my boss is adamant i attend team christmas functions.

  she knows about my studying and potential baptism next year, and has suggested that i attend and just not participate in activities like kris kringle.

  I got that impression as well Incognito, her language was too loaded with jw speak to be just an interested person, but still lets hope she took in some of the advice.

  I just tried that Darkspilver and the second result was a steakhouse, but who would type in just jw if they wanted a comprehensive search result

  its clearly not working in the way you or how they think Google searches work, at the very top of the results page are three twitter posts one from Covert Fade who posts here and is on YT, search nine is an archived BBC page no longer available but the BBC ran their reports this week about the latest child abuse issues, search number ten is from an Evangelical website explaining the very basics of what they believe,also in there The Guardian is advertising the film Apostasy, the R&F would be forbidden to even think about watching that

  isnt the search results related to your own browsing and search history? when I type in the name the third result from Google is the wiki page on them which they wont be happy with, didn't one of the brain dead speakers from some assembly or other speak about god blessing their online profile suggesting that if they typed in their name in a certain way opposes web pages wouldn't be displayed? it doesn't work like that!

  i was in my old stomping ground a couple of months ago and happened to be walking past the home of an old family friend.

  word is in the hall that i used to go to is that "i am one of them" meaning apostate.

  no one from my old hall has contacted me to find out what happened.

  I see Geoff Woodfield is on that list, was an elder in my old cong, a very decent man and close friend of the family, I wonder if he is still officially a CO?
