  Weight Loss Drug Xenical

  by home_and_dry in

  1. social
  2. physical

  i've just been reading about jlob and his amazing success with losing weight and i thought i would share my experience with you.. although it's not much of an experience yet, as i have have only just begun my weight loss programme.

  i was never what you would call slim but after having kids i have pretty much piled on the pounds.

  i've managed to live in denial for a couple of years, hiding the scales and blaming the tumble dryer for shrinking clothes when i can't fit into them anymore!!.

  If the Borg should fall....

  what would actually happen to the x-million jws out there?

  (this is a rather far fetched scenario, but bear with me!

  imagine if one day the borg were to release a letter to each cong in the world to be read simultaneously.

  My chat with Elder Dad. (I'm angry!!)

  i feel the need for a rant!

  i had a conversation with my jw elder father tonight that has left me seething.

  just to set the scene, i left the jws back in 1994. i was baptized, having been dfd and reinstated a couple of years prior to my final exit in 94. i was never dfd again and pretty much left to my own devices.

  Assemly food tickets - WHY??

  by home_and_dry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was laying in bed last night thinking how lucky i am that i havent had to undergo the mental torture of attending the district convention.

  then i started reminiscing about the old days and i suddenly remembered those ridiculous tickets you had to buy to pay for food.

  they were those brown cheap cardboard type efforts with i think 10 tickets per sheet.

  UK posters - pedophile documentary tonight

  by home_and_dry in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  this isn't in any way jw related, but will anyone be watching 'the hunt for britains pedophiles' which starts tonight?

  from what i have heard about it, it supposed to be extremly shocking and disturbing, as the bbc got to shadow the scotland yard pedophile unit for two years and this documentary is the end result.

  it is supposed to be no holds barred and designed to shock, but in an effort to make more people aware of how huge the issue is here in the uk.

  How did I get away with it??

  by home_and_dry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the more i read on this board, the more it makes me wonder how on earth i managed to escape the jw's without being df'd.

  i was baptized in 1990 aged 15. i was df'd in 1991 and was reinstated after only 2 months 'out' and a further 3 months of returning to the meetings.. two years after being reinstated, i knew i wanted out but couldn't bear the thought of being df'd again.

  so i found a flat to rent and moved out of my jw parents home.

  JW Molestation info needed for UK radio show

  by home_and_dry in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  hi all.. i recently emailed a radio dj here in the uk who has a late night phone in show.

  he is a great bloke, not afraid of touching issues that others won't.. i told him briefly about the peodophile issue amongst jw's.

  he replied, saying that he was very interested in the issue and has asked for more info.. i feel that i am not the best qualified to act as spokesperson on this, and there are plenty of people here who can explain the situation better than i can.. so what i am asking is for any of you to explain the issue here in this thread.
