at high school I was the only jw there, my class mates from primary/intermediate knew i was & told my new class mates, I was picked on a bit, but I stood up to them, with my fists. however i was already suffering from depression & studies suffered badly & in my 2nd year i dropped out. this was in 1975.

Have the British military invaded your country - see map for details

.

every schoolboy used to know that at the height of the empire, almost a quarter of the atlas was coloured pink, showing the extent of british rule.. but that oft recited fact dramatically understates the remarkable global reach achieved by this country.. a new study has found that at various times the british have invaded almost 90 per cent of the countries around the globe.. .

A quick Saturday Morning Survey - To believe or not to believe

i don't know about you, but i love saturday mornings...now that crawling out of bed on a cold november morning to go and knock on doors is no longer on the agenda.

does that sense of being free ever grow old?

i hope not any time soon at least.. this week we've had quite a few atheist vs believer threads along with speculation on what the actual numbers are on jwn :.

So utterly hurt.

by LouBelle in

today something happened that hurt me more than the jwks, more than the shunning, more than my sexual molestation, more than my hellish years at caxton and more than the year i've just had.. the moment i was told this, i felt like my insides had been ripped, torn, shredded and my heart squeezed of it's very life.

i put my head in my hands and for the first time in my life let out a primal gut wrenching wail.. my father had asked my gran why she has been treating me the way she has (which hasn't been very nice).

he though it strange considering how in the past i have helped her and given her so much.

what are the JW rules once baptised??

by Kate82 in

on my other post 'thinking of becoming a jw' people mentioned that once i was baptised i would be told / given rules of what i can / cant do, things like: how i act, dress, how i can have sex with my husband??

what i can and cant eat ( according to some research ive done).

i would be really interested to hear as many of these rules now - as i think its too late after one is baptised.. i would be grateful of as many as possible about anything any topic even thouse i havent mentioned.. thanks x.

by LostGeneration in

i live nowhere near the east coast, nor does my jw mother in law.

but according to my wife, mommy dearest thinks "sandy" is the latest sign that gawd almighty is about to bring about the end.. so i ask my lovely jw wife what she thinks, amazingly she says its probably just another storm, though it does look bad.

i tell her yes, i agree, and if there is anything we can do to help out, i am willing to help.
