so last night me and hubby got round to watching love actually for the first time .

seemingly everyone says that it's a must see christmas film , people watch it numerous times .

sorry to say l was underwhelmed and won't bother watching it again.

I must admit I was sceptical about Love Actually even when it came out. Not my kind of film usually.
But I was quite emotional about the old Rocker who finally found who he should have been spending Xmas with, though he'd taken him for granted for years. His best friend and manager, who had been there for him all along, through his various broken marriages and sundry disasters.
And if course the writer dude who learnt his cleaners language so he could talk to her and ask her hand in marriage.
Though in reality people rarely notice those humble ones who keep the wheels turning quietly in the background (hello postal workers, nurses and public transport workers I'm right behind you with the strikes!)

It's been a long 9 years Lloyd Evans / John Cedars

LMsA As a result of him taking cheap shots at Jake, Lloyd has now lost the guy who was going to paint his portrait of Lloyd on his next book and was planning to meet up with in the new year for a series of interviews.
Someone should tell him about the (extremely talented) Vincent Deporter's experience of him, as an artist who volunteered his time and talents for Lloyd.
Lloyd didn't so much as offer him a free T-shirt with his work on. Then proceeded to insult and block him, having used him for interview's and free artwork for merchandise.

I'm going to say this one more time for those at the back (Lloyd).
I have no interest in how you handle your marriage. Whatsoever.
What I will not and cannot accept is your utterly tone-deaf inability to understand that a man who to claims to advocate for child victims of sexual abuse and female victims of domestic & sexual abuse, should find no conflict of interest in using some of the most vulnerable, trafficked or coerced young women in third world countries for their sexual gratification.
Inside or outside of marriage.

I don't know many "former members" who would attend a Kingdom Hall on Christmas day.
I wouldn't rely on this "former members" thing. I can just imagine the elders being told to tell that to the press if one was DF and the other hadn't been for a few months, even.

one of our members, dubstepped, runs this facebook group which looks like a fantastic resource.

what a refreshing change to those who have sought to profit from witness leavers.

What a refreshing change to those who have sought to profit from Witness leavers. I'll post the link because I think it's important to point out these resources when we can!

Good grief his son in law is a billionaire!!! Those girls would be nothing without their Dad, whatever their present relationship.
Time and again sports scientist studies have shown the difference between a good sportsmen and a great one is parental support during childhood. Parents often spend every waking moment to ensure the success of their young prodigy (or gies, in his case!)
