why not any interest in the mark thomas product?.
you all jump up and down when stephen bates from the guardian newspaper uk writes an article supporting your views, but absolutely no interest at all when given another first class quality link?.
puzzled.. celtic.
Would he be interested?
I've watched the show from the start and he appears more interested in companies and governments.
Maybe the idea of tackling a 'religon' scares him? :)
Have you emailed him?
Posted a link to this site on the C4 message boards?
Maybe he's waiting for someone to show some persistance before he acts.

what is up with the site lately?
first i get a basic blue site that is unoike what i have encountered before and now ai am getting a complete site but it is so small that i cannot read what the links are, and mouse-overs do not work.
I think they're having a re-design. Expect a few teething troubles.

in the thread about racism, ozzy said the following:.
so your point of view, if expressed in oz, would be considered risque, not politically correct.
the silly thing is that privately most would agree with you.
I believe it's a combination of shunning and "where else do I go" that causes the majority to stay.
Personally I'm not baptized but I know that even non-baptized JWs have been shunned by their cong after they've left.
I'm steadly making more 'worldly' friends so I have someone to hang with once it hits the fan.

never ever, ever confuse greatness with popularity.
compared to music here in the u.s. british music is as good as it gets.
it's true that bands like pulp, suede, blur, oasis, manic street preachers, rarely get any airplay here in the states, but that's all i listen too.
There's probably just as many good US bands as UK bands, they just don't get the airplay over here.
Examples: Pavement, Flaming Lips, Elliot Smith, Modest Mouse, Death Cab for Cutie, Built to Spill. For some reason, they are the only ones popping into my head and I can't seem to think of any in the vein of Pulp, Suede, etc. By the way, this week's hot pick....Cornershop's Handcream for a Generation.
I've heard of Pavement and Flaming Lips. I find a lot of US bands end up becoming more popular over here in the UK than they do at home. Most of them I hear on Steve Lamac's show and Mark and Lards.
I'm currently into S.O.A.D and Lostprophets. I'm also into lot's banging house etc.

todays newspapers are full of the le pen story.
much concern is being voiced that right-wing organisations will ride on this story to make their own agendas more widely known, ie, send all the immigrants back home, britain for the british, sod off everyone else!.
now i personally love different cultures.
No I wouldn't say you were.
Although it would be nice to think there was more help for those who want to contribute to this country.
What about all the doctors/nurses etc that seek asylum? Wouldn't they be better put to good use than just stuck on sink estates doing nothing?
Just my er, 0.01p ;)

was brought up a jw.
found out recently about the whole un/paedophile things.. never felt my input was much regarded.
i guess i never did 'enough'.. not sure what to do.
I'm going to see if my college has a copy. Yes, I'm doing the unspeakable thing and not aiming to pioneer. I'm totally sick of the "you're young so you must be fit and healthy, and all fit and healthy young people who don't appear to want to pioneer aren't worth bothering about" attitude from the elders.
I'll probably wait till I've moved before getting it out though. Don't want a 'concerned' person reporting me for having 'apostate' literature in my house. ;)
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm trying to find out where my new local cong is just in case the information becomes useful.

Luckily I never got past being a publisher. So I don't think they can technical shun me anyway. My mum may choose to avoid me but to be honest she get fed up with the way the elders do things in out cong although she's of the "it's better in other congs" mind.

Hi,
Was brought up a JW. Found out recently about the whole UN/paedophile things.
Never felt my input was much regarded. I guess I never did 'enough'.
Not sure what to do. Moving in a few weeks. Considering not going to any new congregation. My mum will probably ask how I'm getting on. Don't know what to tell her. Would prefer to leave it a while, let her see that it's not just me being picky or sommat.
Any thoughts welcome.
