  I converted from Catholicism to the JW faith long ago. Shooting down my Catholic beliefs was like shooting fish in a barrel for the Witnesses.

  I disagree - it only seem's so from the witnesses extremely limited, dogmatic & unspirtual point of view.

  I wish the Catholics would just ask them why the call their god a name a 13 century Catholic spanish monk devised. Also if the RC is sooo demonic why do the Witnesses use a bible that Catholic bishops put togther from the many hundreds of scriptures and decided what was 'orthodox inspired scripture' & what was not. I am not Catholic nor would I promote the faith it's just I don't believe the JW know as much about biblical or christian theology as they perport to & are just conditioned to repeat parrot fashion from their doctored bible.

  right next to the fuel symbol is a little arrow which will point either to the left or right where the filler cap is. Brilliant!

  Is that every car Simon?Yup, new one on me! And I'm only in my 3 rd decade of driving age!! The - ember mneumonic is daft for the reasons you pointed out too!

  Blondie Wow - great post! Fevier is february in french too,?to do with Feverel?

  Just wondering - please dont be offended - how many JW deaths, suicide & blood refusal, versus how many Western deaths caused by terrorism*

  as the saying goes, just sayin'
  

  * not including middle eastern deaths/muslim deaths as that obviously runs into hundreds of thousands

  I think your chanellin' Slayer there...wow I want to get with puppy in that mosh pit!!!

  On a totally musically opposite note I was watching a Burt Bacharat tribute concert last night and he was basically giving the whole thing to his mom who pushed him as a kid to play & practice - total support -we would not have that music if it where not for her enabling... it made me think of all that Witness talent wasted....kids prevented from fulfilling their potential and humanity now missing some

  serious tunes, beautiful challenging art, powerful films or cures for who knows what & maybe even that ellusive "theory of everything"

  If I've been testy lately, here's why.

  my parents are visiting for not-thanksgiving.

  dad started bringing up spiritual stuff and i almost screwed up my fade.. it's so hard to have a genuine discussion about the issues in the organization when you have become an atheist.

  it feels icky and disgusting to have to pretend and nod your head at such platitudes as "you just need to have faith"..."trust in jehovah"..."jehovah will correct it"..."remember ray franz?

  If the cappy fit's wear it!!

  You are just great the way you are, don't worry about us here, you have too much to worry about without bein' worried about being a grumpy captain - love your posts btw, always so genuuine & real, no bs which is why I guess it's killing you to be dishonest to your Dad.

  Puppy brand new I think mrs cappy is one cool mama & the little cappies too young to be a problem.

  Just take it easy, DONT be hard on yourself. I suppose there will come a time when the little ones will put you in it "grandpa but the birds evolved from dinosaurs ....who is Jehovah?"

  However you are new to this, only you know how best to approach dad, when the time comes...I understand how you feel, it's a nightmare..you just dont want to hurt them, go easy on yourself this is NOT YOUR FAULT OR OF YOUR DOING

  Paradise, safegaurding of minor children & vulnerable adults, the trustees of each charity - in this case the BOE, are under law required to have in place & inpliment best practice policies regarding the above. If they do not, and recent court cases have highlighted problems, this reflects badly in public trust of charity status.

  So...not sure but maybe charity commission can revoke charitable status, not sure if that would apply to specific congregations or all BTS of GB congs.

  Watch the dark tower comply immediately if they fear loss of ££££ due to revoking of charitable status.

  Just my take, maybe not 100 correct though xxx

  Does the fact that there even IS an appeals process, and that certain appeals are upheld and the DF verdict reversed, does this show that the original decision and elders on the JC were not led by holy spirit after all?k

  That is precisely why they never want to reverse a decision, even if there is shed loads of evidence the appellant is in the right - swines
