  There are literally thousands of great places to visit in the UK, here are a few of my favourites:

  Belfast - See where Titanic was built

  Liverpool - Birthplace of the Beatles

  Edinburgh - The castle is fantastic

  York - History around every corner

  London - Where do I start?

  Manchester - Great nightlife

  Bath - Visit the famous Roman baths

  Windermere - The fabulous Lake District

  Avebury - A mystical stone circle surrounds this village

  Hadrians Wall - Lots of Roman stuff, Houseteads Fort, Vindolanda, Chesters Fort

  Whitby & Robin Hoods Bay

  Ben Nevis

  etc.......

  Did you REALLY like the music played at meetings? Did people in your cong. seem to like them?

  i couldn't stand it.

  never heard any of it played live, which i imagine would be much better, but still... i find it annoying.

  for people who like that type of music, i guess it was good.

  Even at my most zealous I thought that the music and songs were terrible.

  I can only think of one crazy person who bought 'Kingdom Melodies' on cassette tape.

  How bad they are is one of the many JW unmentionables.

  Thanks for sorting the clip.

  I have been able to copy and paste this clip into a Word document but not into this forum. Wonder if I have to activate a setting.

  Peter played in the English first division and was tipped to play in the Mexico world cup in 1970.

  His conversion to JW was a big story at the time.

  The funeral actually went very well. There was a bit of preaching, but only what I would expect from any religion.

  There was also some shunning but many more spoke to me.

  Don't worry, I won't kick off at the funeral, I meant airing my personal views on this forum.

  A local elder has recently been removed after speaking to his Dfd sister at their mothers funeral, therefore the elder doing the talk is worried about his own position as he is also saying a prayer at the cremetorium.

  My sister died last week. She and my parents are active JWs.

  The funeral is tomorrow at the KH.

  I was Dfd years ago after I had stopped attending for about a year.

  I have a good relationship with my parents but the grand shunning session tomorrow will put a lot of strain on what is already going to be an emotional day. I just hope that the 'loving arrangement' does not put me or my non JW wife in any awkward situations.

  I have already been told that I cannot say anything at the cremetorium as a hardline CO will be in attendance.

  Don't JWs just love their labels.
