How miserable are Witless Kids REALLY?
by hamsterbait in25 years ago i lived in an apartment overlooking the grounds of the local high school.. at the time i still totally believed the lie.
a lot of the dub students went to my hell.. i noticed looking out my window, that the witless kids always looked miserable and isolated.
yet in the kingdumb hell they would behave almost euphorically.. what was going on?.

My 2 daughters told me tonight that i was really strict with them..until recently and they do understand why i was like that, but they said that now i'm COOL!!! 15 and 12 year old girls think mum is cool...great. I told my sister today that I'm leaving for good, and she said...GREAT! She said I joined when i was vulnerable and i agree. Most i know that joined were the same. I'm glad my girls didn't get baptized though. My daughter's 13 on 29th March and she wants a big fat juicy chocolate cake with triple fudge. And boy is she gonna get it! She was initially devestated but now is really happy....i still have to pick up the pieces, but will get there. My girls hated the isolation and taunts, but fought it well and have come out the other side. glad i got the TRUTH now and not in 10 years time....thanks leoking! x

What is the Biblical Support for Observers at the Memorial ???
by RubaDub ini have never gotten a good answer for this questions from any other jw's other than "everyone was of the annointed back in the first century" or "we are showing our respect for the arrangement" or some other nondescript comment.. even the notion that we "celebrate" the memorial is not accurate since the "celebration" part is limited to 8 or 9 thousand people and the 15 million or so that attend are merely observing or watching.. is there some other biblical support for people to observe the celebration ???
in all my life as a jw, i still don't quite understand the significance of it from a biblical persective.. rub a dub .

What's happening in 2014?? I was at the assembly yesterday, and didn't have the new song book. I spent a fortune last year getting the old one bound together with a bible...now it's useless. Any songs we sang were changed, and the tone of the talks was basically do or die. We were sickened. It was all about the FDS and Jesus was mentioned TWICE only all afternoon. Makes me sick. Christian my butt...

Actually Wobble...A north or central Dubliner would say Jayzus....an Irish person would bless themselves frantically and use various religious expletives.

Assembly/Convention Rules
by IMHO injust been reading the resurrected topic "remember when assemblies were fun".. bought back some good memories particularly regarding the 'holiday camps'.. i was going to add this but decided it warranted it's own topic.. the 'good times' have been replaced by incessant rules.
here is a selection from the last circuit assembly i attended.
please feel free to add to the list.. .

Gee...we don't have many rules like that here in Ireland... but we're lax in most things...my 2 daughters laughed when at the kh last summer the bros put on the noticeboard photos of acceptable lengths for skirts etc for the meetings and bethel visits. I thought it was ridiculous, but then , all the sisters said it was too much. I haven't been back since but I'm going to the assembly tomorrow afternoon to listen with 'new' ears. Should be interesting. so long as the bros don't harass me to re-attend the hall!

FS I agree with you totally.. after 15 years baptized and SURE about my future and place in it, I am left with a huge void, and not being sure of anything anymore. I hate having been lied to but do miss the certainty of it all. I feel like I've been pushed out of a plane without a parachute...

Kids TV programmes (England and Ireland only sorry) that were on in the 70's and early 80's
by jdhf ini am trying to remember a kids programme that was on while i was a wee thing during the 70's... now i was only born in '68, so i guess it would be late 70's early 80's.
i remember bears, and animation, but i don't think cartoon.
anyway, please can anyone list their favourite british kids programmes during these times and hopefully i will get an epiphany!
