i had an idea that i could build a uk map of everyones location which would show you instantly who is in your area from jwd.. (it might be an idea to do a seperate us one aswell but i'll wait and see if this one takes off first, or if anyone from the us wants to volunteer to do that one).
(and australia but you are all in the same backyard anyway - literally!!!).
anyway, all you have to do is post or email me your username and town and i will draw you on the map above which will change gradually to include everyone!.
Termite: Individual and wife are going to be living in the town right next to yours soon - not too far from me I might add.
That is nice to know! This map is starting to look nicely crowded - long may it continue!!! There must be more of us UKers yet to appear on it....

hello, everyone.. i somehow managed to endure a circuit assembly this past weekend.
the two positives that came out of it are:.
1) i can easily beat any test of endurance and.
I like the part when we cant sit down after the song
until they tell us to becuase of announcements.
Good point MikeMusto. Always seemed a little strange to me, bit like being a kid at school again. I could never work out why they did this, did they honestly think it would make people listen or concentrate any more if they were made to stand up. I remember being stared at when I had a sleeping toddler in my lap which meant I couldnt stand up, I was made to feel very uncomfortable - why arent you struggling to stand up, you disrespectful woman, the old doddery and infirmfaithful ones are making the effort, so should you.
I suppose the only good thing was the opportunity to stretch your legs before another session that would go on .. and on.. and on.. zzzz
note also what is under the "what's new" sub-heading.

Loved these 2 gems in the Palm Pilot section...
TimePlanner has been updated to fix a bug that occasionally did not calculate totals correctly.Now that may start to explain the highly inflated times on the monthly report slips....
And the advert... wonder how many JWs will be rushing out to buy this edition as advertised on the same page!

First of all may I commend you for managing to stomach a circuit assembly, have you recovered yet?! Good grief, it used to be hard enough sitting through the programme when I was enthusiastic, I can only imagine what a strain it must be to listen to sit through such deceit, false sentiments and utter nonsense.
I remember so well the 'funny lines' that were usually not funny at all yet everyone felt they were expected to laugh as though it was the most hilarious thing ever said. So false and it only usually served to inflate the ego of the speaker.
Liked your observation about the Catholic Church too, amazing how they can pick and choose their quotes, always to their benefit of course. I just wonder how many in the audience squirmed in their seats at the mention of the paedophile issue, pot calling the kettle black if you ask me.
Looking forward to reading some more of your gems if you get the chance to post them.

Jacinta,
Every time I read another account such as yours it fills me with such sadness that yet another innocent childhood has been tainted by those who profess to be Christians and hide their evil acts behind the skirts of their protective organisation. I really hope that you will find some comfort amongst those who post here and find some peace at last in your life. You deserve to find some happiness and give yourself the chance to move forward, you will never forget the things that have happened to you but I sincerely hope that you find a way to overcome the pain and not let it ruin the rest of your life.
Best regards
Ps. I too have heard of the JW schools by the way!
some on this board have stated that many here are bitter and need to move on from criticizing the wtbs, even implying that there was something wrong with the mental state of ones who continue in their attacks of jws.
this following seemed to me to hit the nail on the head as to why so many of us stay involved long after weve left the borg.
also, even the watchtower has stated something like, why dont people just leave, why do they have to publicly attack jws?
Some on this board have stated that many here are “bitter” and need to move on from criticizing the WTBS, even implying that there was something wrong with the mental state of ones who continue in their “attacks” of JWs.
How can you move on from criticizing them when they still attempt to have an influence on your life?
Recently my husband was in conversation with a witness, my husband is neither da'd or df'd yet no longer considers himself part of their organisation. This witness was encouraging him to come along to a meeting. Husband pointed out that I would probably divorce him (I am da'd) yet this fact did not deter them. They said that hubby should wait till I go to work on a Sunday morning or do an evening shift and then sneak out without me knowing. Apparently "SHE WOULD NEVER KNOW!"
That is the sort of thing that makes me angry, encouraging deceit and lying, especially as the children would have to be involved in this scheme. It makes you wonder how some of these people sleep at night. So much for the literature I remember reading that said JWs and their religion do not split up families.
i am just so excited.
earlier this week i applied for admittance to my local community college and today i registered for my first class!.
(one class for the summer session to see how this college stuff plays out.).
Outnfree - you go for it! Just coming to the end of my college course now, only 3 weeks to go until my exams.... that's why I have been very quiet on the board lately - head always in the books! And then its off to uni in September for 4 years hard slog.
Hope it goes really well for you and you get what you want out of it! (And dont forget an apple for the teacher on your first day!)
hello britains .
i am trying to get as many uk posters to sign in.
so post up please, whether you love the queen's corgis or think they should be nationalised!.
Hello to termite 35 - yes, I'm currently in Devon but moving up to Somerset in the summer, as soon as I can sort myself out with a house (easier said than done....) Won't be near the coast though, trying to get to Yeovil/Taunton/Wellington/Wells area.
