does anyone remember haysbridge, crystal palace, twickenham, dorking from the 80's/90's.........so many memories there.
the 5p lunch vouchers, the aroma of bacon rolls and hot doughnuts at twickenham, the smell of coffee as 50,000 odd opened their thermos flasks at lunchtime.
walking around endless laps of the perimeter of the stadium at break times, watching the airplanes flying low over twickenham stadium en route to heathrow.. cinema style seats at dorking assembly hall, the baptismal pool built into the stage, flapping my hands in the water and getting told off.
Yh I geuss so... I would have been 4 yrs old... It's the first one I remember...
I cant remember many more of the platform designs, but they stopped after a while...
One trend that came in was the use of binoculars, you used to look around for others with them and see if they were watching you too... Then wave... lol

Hey scotty....
I had my first cuddle at the age of 8 down in the newly planted trees at the back and down the bottom of hayesbridge... Otherwise known as 'gods' stone', though we weren't allowed tro say that...
Oh, I remember it now, the black velvit of her dress, with green trim... MMMMMMM, we where goin to get married you know... lol
I was 8 and she was 6, would have been great too... :)
Twickingham... I used to go to twickenham, being from Hayes congregation and all... The best thing about hayes was when they installed the new escellators, they where huge...
I remember the old stadium wings, and the Rainbow platform.... The end prayer went on for ages....
Then there was the big bible platform, wow... the memories....
was on summer, experience went like that:.
"a couple from russia, sold even their house in order to be able to attend an assembly in germany.....".
basically no more information given.
I remember being on the receiving end of a manipulated story... :(
I never did like those people who stand up there on the platform and say how spiritual they are... How better they are because they have made the right decisions... And the only reason you aint up here is because nothing bad enough has happened to you, or you aren't good enough to shout about on the platform... Grrrrr...
I wondered how long it would take for someone to make this thread... lol
Yup I had to explain what I had been doing with a young 'wordly' girl... :) (all legal of course...)
He decided to show me where on his body the 'brests' were... We both went bright red...
Not cool...
i sent my son a link to the thread about facebook sex because i thought it was so funny ..... today he sent me an email and told me he has joined the forum !!
i haven't told him my name on here yet, i want him to see if he can figure it out first .. .
someone else should start a thread for me and ask : " crux have you found your mommy yet ?
I still live with devoted parents...
I cannot express my own spirituality as yet but when I move out with my fellow spiritually aware partner, I will gladly make use of my spiritual gifts... :)
Well done for being there for your family...
The fact remains that Religion and Spirituality are two seperate things...
A religion can only be used as dogmatic intsruction and a device to control the masses...
A personal Spirituality can only really set you free from dogma and allow you to see yourself or what ever you want in new eyes and meaning...
But I geuss I am biased being as I have found spirituality by shedding religion... :)
my worst field service experience was this.. i didn't have a car at the time and so a pioneer sister was picking me up of service every couple of days.
she was my partner and i got a door where the woman was clearly not interested.
as i am stepping away the pioneer sister starts in with all the objection stoppers.
Right, lets see....
I've had women coming to the door absolutely naked...
Dogs runnning out and barking like crazy...
All the usual, but I geuss the worst one when i was a little dazed, probably through dehydration, when i called on a suited man...
He kept asking me what I wanted part way through my presentation... "in light of the Iraq war and ..."
"what do you want?"
"in light of the Iraq wa do you..."
"what do you want?"
He got more irate as I went on...
i understand that it originated as an aztec war game,therefore should jws play football?.
Midwich... Football as in 'American Football'...
They dont even use their feet... *sigh*
i don't post here much but i enjoy lurking.
i thought i'd share an experience i had recently.
this may be long.
Millions, sounds like you would be good at meditating too... You might learn more about yourself...
This is awesome stuff, it's what some people call 'Co-creation'... You create your circumstsance with others, either subconsciously or consciously...
Wow, sounds though you know this already... I have recently found out thereis a difference between spirituality and religion...
Love and light
