Zidd made a JW think, now, that is harder than the blood out of a stone thingy !!
Well done Zidd ! I never get the chance to do this, been living here since god was a boy so all the Dubs steer clear.
and of course, i had some fun with them... an older, brunette woman who obviously dyes her hair and could stand to lose a bit of weight, and a slim blonde teenage girl - probably around 15 - 17.... i started out by asking them if they knew how old the bible was.... .
(and unfortunately, i think i demonstrated that i wouldn't make a very good "undercover" bible study prospect... .
but they didn't even know how old - young - the bible was!!.

Dear Ambersun, you weren't supposed to roll around on the cinder paths !!
AH memories ! I had my first proper snog up in the stands at Twickenham in the late evening gloom, in 1963 with Janet "Hotlips". I was thirteen.
i can remember when i was first assimilated, the jw's did alot together, they went to the park together, they had picnics, days out together.. .
somehow by the 90's this had stopped.
did i miss somthing?
You are not allowed to be a grown adult in the W.T.
"Mother" is always watching you, and will tell you what to do, and what not to do, and what to think and feel .
that 539 bc is the overwhelmingly accepted date for this occurrence is without doubt.. - practically every reference work you consult will cite this date for the taking of babylon by the medo-persian armies under cyrus the great.
however, even the most widely held theories are open to challenge:.
- this is, after all, part of the scientific process.. for a challenge to succeed, though - particularly if it were to overturn such a widely held view as this one - it would have to come up with some very convincing evidence.
You tryin' to tell me that J.Cannon/Lars is not the messiah , he is "just a naughty boy "? (said in Monty Python/Terry Jones voice)

Gillingham, Kent this weekend for local Dubs, Tee Hee.
Yup, fry or freeze is right, no in-between ! We used to go to Plymouth, and make a week of it, stayed in B&B near a Pub with other drinkin' buddies from my Congo. so slept most of the D.C away, if it was not too hot/cold !
Last one I went to was actually Gillingham 2006, don't remember the D.C content, funny, all that build up and fuss about going, and I can't remember a thing that was said there, or any other D.C come to that, what a friggin waste of time and effort they are !
Weather was mild and fine for once then in 2006, but, all in the past, thank goodness !

Thanks Breck ! I feel I've just had a holiday looking at those, and I can taste the Royal Lochnagar ! I love it! It's a bit rare down south here (Kent), most of it goes for export.
great Pics, thanks.

Hi Highdose !
We used to have HUGE congo. parties ,barbecues attended by half the circuit !! , outings, we hired a coach ! etc. etc.
Our Congo. was known far and wide as sociable, (you probably came along on some of the jamborees ?)
We had a warm family atmosphere, more often than not only getting closer to people because of this social aspect.
This did tail off with all the "large gatherings" counsel, and as the congo. got larger,170 plus pubs. before it split, it got a bit less "warm".
Within the F.S group it still continued, till they did away with that.
The W.T is all about control, they want even local Elders to regulate Witness lives as much as possible, they seem to hate any element of fun in JW life. Any kind of Networking is condemned it seems.
can someone explain this scripture to me:.
and i have other sheep, which are not of this fold; those also i must bring, and they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd.
(john 10:16).
Adhering strictly to what the Bible actually says, and not adding at all, in other words careful and accurate exegesis, no eisegesis, would destroy all WT/JW unique doctrine.
In other words "What does the Bible really Teach" would contain only things that are really there, thus emptying most of that pernicious book's content.
just found out that with any luck i will be a father... again... by this time next year!!!
i dont have any contact with my "family" anymore so i had to share :) :).
Great News !!! Congrats !!
We have two sons, we get great joy from both, and we often talk of the things they did as kids, they were so entertaining !
We are in the U.K and son No.2 is on walkabout in Oz at the moment, so its just texts and e-mails, son No.1 came to dinner last night and told us that, at last, he has a steady girlfriend, 'bout time, he is 33 !
Let us know more as the bump gets bigger !
