Bonk is a hill? New to me.
Reminds me of 4 weddings and a funeral. Flower girl to bridesmaid - "Whats bonking?" Bridesmaid - "It's a bit like table tennis but with slightly smaller balls". If you haven't worked it out - shagging (sex).
bang out of order seems to have made a couple of posters laugh on here, as they had never heard it before.. it's wierd for me because it's a saying i have always heard/used...good old british slang.. it means that what someone has said is hurtful and unacceptable.. some slang terms from where i come from in the ''black country''.. up the wooden hills - go to bed.
put the wood in the hole - shut the door.
chuffed - pleased.

Now in London. Last associated in Cardiff. Originally from Edinburgh.
Hmmm interesting.....I used to live in edinburgh so know some people in that cong but have no idea who it could be. That congregation used to have something like 15 elders in a congregation of about 80 back in the early 90s but now receives mts grads.
in my attempt to seperate myself from the jw's completely, i am finding all kind of awesome people.
of course, if we are talking by jw's standards these people are "awful".
anywho, there are a couple of them who are absolutely fascinated with the fact that i used to be a jw.. the reason they are fascinated is because they are aware of cultish mind-control and understand just how difficult it is to walk away from it all.
A couple of them do. One of them is fascinated by it and yet makes jokes about it at the same time.
My friends are very supportive and now realise why i am slightly messed up in the head when it comes to some things eg cultivating real friendships and trust issues.
Didn't go. Thought about it and then decided i didnt want to be one of their statistics!
Not sure what i'll tell my family..think lying about going might be the safe option.
how well is this territory being covered?.
how many on here (active jws excluded) received an invitation?.
One through my letterbox. They don't know that i'm an ex witness - only recently moved to the area and dont know and witnesses around here.
My family hasnt mentioned it this year which is strange...cant make up my mind wether to go or not...i dont believe a word of it but it still makes me realise exactly why i left
cause i see a bunch of inactive doing disfellowshipping things and its known by the elders and the elders aren't doing anything because they are inactive.... so, just wondering if the rules have changed, or there is more of a loophole somewhere that wasn't there before?.
Is it not also if it is known in the community that you were a witness?
I know that i am definitley a potential for being d'fed but i live in a city where no one knows that i was a witness, my old congregation don't know where i am and my family seem to accept me (they don't know all the things i do that could get me df'd) so i live a nice peaceful life.

How do you validate users to make sure they are genuine?
There is a registration form that needs to be filled out in order to users and password protected login. All users also need to also send in by facsimile an up to date identification document (typically a dpa "blood" card)
How on earth are they going to check that the "blood" card is genuine?

I'm not sure about US laws but in Europe that would be illegal as it is discriminatory against other religions.
Update - just looked at their website and it states that Europe will follow in 2011/12 and the UK in March 2011!!!
I'm positive this would be illegal in countries in the EU. After all, the couple who ran the B&B who wouldn't let the gay couple stay were found guilty of discrimination and insurers in Europe will soon no longer be able to charge different rates for car insurance for men and women.
well, im off to the circuit assembly tomorrow.
two days of sheer joy and missed sports!
!two days of the same twenty or so brothers giving talks(it's who you know so i am told) and demonstrations, reminding us of how much they enjoy god bothering people on a saturday.
@jambon - happy memories of the Brunton Hall then?!? Same elders and families upevery time - boring! Although, the highlight for me was usually ice-cream from DiRollos .
@Dold - nothing wrong with your spelling. It's as good (if not better) than a lot of native English speakers
